City of Halves
“How remarkable. This thing actually works. Where are you?’ Lily looked around. ‘Somewhere near the Bank of England.’ ‘Is Regan with you?’ Lily held out the phone. Regan took it. In his abrupt way he described what had happened that day. The conversation was brief. Lily’s legs weakened. She leant against the alley wall, hands on her knees, concentrating on breathing in and out, staring at the burning shell of the vehicle a few yards away.
‘Lucas, we should get out of here. He told Lily his name ...was Jack. Fine. Oh, and Lucas, when did you get a phone? I thought they weren’t for people like us?’ He listened to the answer, grunted, then passed the phone back to Lily.
