‘Hello, Jacki. How are you?’ He sounded very professional, but I could still sense the anticipation in his voice.
‘I’m well, thanks. I’ve decided to do it. I’ve decided to help with Operation Trail.’ As I said it, I could feel a familiar mix of fear and excitement rising inside me. This was it. There was no going back now.
‘Thank you,’ said Sergeant Lawlor. ‘That’s good news. I’ll let the team know and will be in touch.’
I slipped my phone into my coat pocket, then turned and walked back towards the castle.
Four.
The number of women I have to help.
