Chapter 2 - After the funeral

For those of you new to the blog, the story so far:

Madeleine Atkinson lives and studies in Munich. She comes over to England for the funeral of her brother Ned, a journalist killed in Bosnia Herzegovina. The atmosphere between her and her elder brothers Paul and Colin is very frosty. After the funeral she is about to go back up to London when Jeremy Fisk, the last person to see Ned alive, introduces himself to her…

What is interesting about this chapter is that one minor character, Bernard, originally started off as all bad. Then he complained* about this and pointed out that I was being very unfair to journalists, they can’t all be that awful.

I’m not entirely sure about that, but I had to finally give in to Bernard. He will be allowed to be a good guy. So, say hello to him in this chapter. When he reappears he’s going to have a horrible death. It’s always the fate of the minor good guys in a story I’m afraid. Plus he’s a journalist.

Anyway, here is Chapter 2, I hope you enjoy it. And please send your comments as always. They make a big difference.

*In my head.

Chapter 2 is now under 'Good Stuff'.
