Epilogue - yes really, this time!
"Five hundred quid, I can't believe it."
Just hand it over Zaf," said Adam, "fair dos to Jo."
Jo's hand was outstretched once more.
"Give it up, smiling boy," said Ros. They were all still surprised she had joined them in the pub.
Zaf reluctantly handed the money over. "Either you're very lucky or you have insider information that the rest of us weren't privy to."
"You just don't like to lose, Zaf."
Jo began counting the money.
"It's all there, don't worry."
Adam smiled, "Drinks are on Jo then."
"No Adam drinks are on me," said Ruth and sat down. She looked at Jo and held out her hand, the wad of cash was transferred from one woman to the other.
"Actually," said Ruth, "drinks are on Zaf."
"I knew this was a set up," he moaned and then with great animation he said, "wait a minute was that all just one big performance to get the cash?"
"If it was, I say encore," said Harry and he sat down, his hand trailing across Ruth's back and settling on her waist. It was a move not unnoticed by Section D.
"We're having champagne," announced Ruth.
"Fantastic," said Adam.
"What are we celebrating?" asked Ros.
"Besides fleecing me," Zaf was still not happy.
Ruth smiled, "we're celebrating…
"Us," said Harry and his eyes never left Ruth and he thought they never would again.
The end. Hope you liked.
