Changes

It was a Friday and Jess Hadley was keen to get to her half-brother's flat in Paris. She'd come across from London on Eurostar, courtesy of the money she'd stolen from The Pervert's till in the Copacabana Bar in Brighton. It wasn't likely that the police would be on to her yet but she'd like to be somewhere safe and with food and drink inside her. She'd phoned Ben and got the address - 12 Rue des Amants - and he told her that the apartment was on the third floor. She's outside what's obviously a very upmarket building but she hasn't been able to get in touch with Ben.

Jess might be vulnerable but she's learned quite a few skills in her twenty-eight years. The man going into the grounds wasn't particularly careful about hiding the security code, so getting into the building wasn't difficult. Ben had taught his sister to pick locks, so it wasn't long before she was in the apartment. There's a stong smell of bleach and Ben doesn't seem to have any towels. Most worrying though was the fact that he seems to have gone out without his wallet and keys. But how do you get help when you're not to keen on making yourself known to the police? How do you cope with the fact that your French is very limited?
