Treasure Trove

Are you going out?”

Yes I am going to our meet up with Captain Lee Anderson to exchange information. Hopefully he will turn up. “To see my Pigs. We have something we need to do.” Aww Al’s frowning at me. “But no need to worry I shall be back by five o’clock for our assignment. I promise.”

Al holds out a hand meeting my gaze. “Shake on it.”

“Fine.”

We clasp hands. He holds on tight. Pinches my thumb, squeezes it hard as he draws away. “You have weird gestures, you know?” Oh… thumb ring. The one I was admiring yesterday. “I told you this was cheap tatt.”

“I know when you want something.”

“How did you buy this without me realising?” I hold out my hand trying my best not to smile. “You should not waste your money on me.”

Al holds up his wrist, showing off the leather bracelet I gifted him. “I’m allowed to spoil you too.”
