25/5/12

As usual I went to Eric's place.

I met with Sheila on the way. We walked there together.

But before we even got to the door, there was a most terrible cry- 'Gerald!' in Eric's voice, which broke as he let out the shout.

Gerald ran past us, to who knows where.

Eric came around the corner, hair messy and face full of worry.

I remember my blood running cold.

And then memories rushed back. Gerald had been there with the Birling when Inspector Goole visited them.

Because he had an affair with Eva Smith.

And also stumbled across Inspector Ruevault

for he had pushed Charlie Cook to the ground.

Gerald, my friend, my best friend, who I have been stupidly ignoring since all that while ago. I realised that

Gerald was next.
