Raechel Sands, Books, Social and Cultural Studies, True Crime, Murder, Metapox 1, SPECIAL PRE-ORDER OFFER — HALF PRICE — if you order nowAnother piece of information had compelled Blanka to begin her journey to New York immediately. Will could also be heard repeating, over and over, the lines of a song – a song Blanka knew well. It was part of the repertoire of Point Blanka, the band she and Will had formed with Sokol Comarova, another woman intelligence agent. As the cab pulled into one of Heathrow’s special security areas, Blanka hummed it to herself.Will sat at his drum kit, behind a base drum emblazoned with the name Point Blanka. He beamed at Blanka, set down his sticks, and removed his headphones.‘Hi, Sis.’‘I expected to find you comatose,’ she laughed, ‘but I don’t think I’ve ever seen you looking so well.’‘Everybody thinks I’m nuts.’‘Are you?’‘No more than usual.’* * * * *The gold pawn Blanka held fell to the floor and rolled around with its own momentum. She watched it rolling then picked it up. Is it true? she thought. His truth, but is it the truth? Could she have come back? I suppose if we believe it’s a magical world, anything’s possible. And what happens if she has? She looked at Will and blinked, taking in the magnitude of his revelation. Her eyes filled with a soft glow, as of candlelight. ‘This calls for a celebration.’ She placed the pawn on the board, got up from the chair and hugged him. She took a bag of Lindor dark chocolate balls from her turquoise eco-friendly handbag, and dished out three each.‘Essentials,’ she said. ‘Essentials,’ Will agreed. Blanka smiled, unwrapped the chocolate balls, popped one into her mouth and another into her brother’s.‘Then, where is she?’ Blanka asked.‘Close. I can feel her getting closer,’ he said. ‘I think she’s heading for The Goldheart. When she comes, we can finally decipher the inscription.’In the awkward way teenagers sometimes have, Will suddenly changed the subject. ‘Look at this. I’ve been watching it a lot lately.’ Moving to his keyboard, he brought up a YouTube video of the song Blanka had hummed in the taxi. The Zombies’ 1964 hit, She’s Not There. Sitting next to each other, they watched the video and sang softlyWell, let me tell you ‘bout the way she lookedThe way she acts and the colour of her hairHer voice was soft and coolHer eyes were clear and brightBut she’s not there.Blanka looked at her brother intently. He felt the look and turned sombre. ‘If she’s here, I’ll find her for you,’ Blanka said. ‘But you have to go back to school tomorrow and behave normally.’‘Fifteen-year-olds aren’t supposed to be normal.’‘I still want you to go back to school. Try not to attract so much attention.’Before she left the loft Blanka went into her stepfather’s study. Hart was at the bar behind his grand piano, mixing one of the varieties of White Russian cocktail with which he punctuated his day. ‘He wants to keep watch on The Goldheart,’ said Blanka.Hart snorted and shook his head. ‘Does he expect her to pop out of it? I dug it up from the seabed, I can tell you what’s inside it – heavy, precious gold, that’s made us all very rich. She’s not there.’.
