The Hangman's Lair
“The sight of a school dinner can sometimes do that. Or the sight of a school dinner lady. However, in this case, I almost jumped out of my skin because I heard a loud ‘Pssst!’ behind me. I turned round and found myself face-to-shoulder with Bob Thompson.
‘How’s it going?’ he whispered.

‘Is there anything I can do to help?’ ‘I have a plan of action worked out, but it relies on the Herbert Street gang not knowing who I am, or that you have any ...connection with me. If they get wind that you’re involved, they’d smell something fishier than a plate of fish fingers in fish sauce with extra fish on top. So, thanks, but no.’ ‘Oi, are you having yer dinner or what?’ squarked a dinner lady at me. I almost jumped out of my skin again. As Bob lumbered away, a dollop of today’s delicious, nutritious recipe was slopped down in front of me. It appeared to be fish fingers in fish sauce with extra fish on top.
‘Yummy,’ I said, with a painted-on grin.MoreLess
