Town of Fire

  “Progress?” Bill asks as he reaches for a chocolate digestive then scratches beneath Nelson’s ear. They had always been his favourite, that and custard creams, although perhaps Jaffa cakes were the best. He inspects the ridges of chocolate on the biscuit for a moment as he ponders the likelihood of the biscuit crumbling into the tea if he dunked it, then shoves the remainder into his mouth.

  Clarissa taps the return key on the laptop. “Well, Forbes listed the muslim terrorist organisation that was funding Bin Sayeed as one of the top ten richest in the world. It’s now the poorest.”

  “Yes!” Sam slaps his hand against the table. Nelson barks a warning and Sam flinches.

  Bill laughs and pats Nelson’s side. “That’ll teach ‘em not to mess with us,” he says with a huge grin and takes a Jaffa cake from the tin.
