single gesture. “I don’t want us to have to go through all that again.”
“Nobody here knows,” said Danny. “Smith’s a common enough name. We’ll be okay.”
As ever, it was Danny being calm, Danny taking control, Danny keeping things together. He always had to be the strong one.

Later, after they had eaten, Danny felt a vibration against his leg. He was in his room, in the window seat, looking out over the near-empty car park to where Sharmila and Luke and some of the others were helping a team put up the marquee on the lawn.
He took the phone out. He had a message.

He had ten minutes.
Ok. See you. D.
He pulled his trainers on, and went out to the top of the stairs. He took the office key and headed down.
He let himself in through the front doors of Wishbourne Hall. The polished tiles, the grand sweep of a staircase before him and the high ceiling always made him feel that he had stepped into some kind of stately home.
There was a heavy wooden door to his right. He could see through the reception window that the office was empty. Although it was still sunny outside this evening, the office itself was in gloom, with only a little light slipping in through the narrow leaded windows.
He turned the key in the lock and went inside. He often came in here to do his homework. The computer was handy for printing, scanning and its internet connection, but more than anything it was just ... not the flat.
He pressed the power switch on the PC tower under the desk, and sat back in the swivel chair. No need to switch the light on. He looked around the office while the computer powered up.
A short time later, he typed “www.spirit-talking.co.uk” into the address bar and pressed Enter.
The site was slow to load over the Trust’s dial-up connection. A banner ad leapt into life first of all: “GENUINE PSYCHIC READINGS! AS SEEN ON TV”. Below the banner, an ornate stone-effect frame was revealing itself, and a photograph of a smiling man who looked like a dentist. “A big welcome to Spirit Talking, from your host, Dr Bob Walczinski,” it said under the smiling photograph.
While the page was still loading, Danny clicked on the Frequently Asked Questions link. “What is a talk board?” the list of questions read. “How do the talk boards work? Is it safe? Who are the spirit hosts? Can using the talk boards help you develop your psychic abilities? Can I have a talk board on my website? What kinds of questions can I ask? Can the spirit hosts predict my future?”
Danny checked his watch. He had a couple of minutes yet. He clicked on the first question, and it jumped down the page to where the question was repeated with a long paragraph of text below it. A talk board, according to the answer, was some kind of online cross between a ouija board, tarot cards and a chatroom. Log onto a talk board and you can talk directly to the inhabitants of the spirit world, and also to other people dumb enough to believe in all this garbage. That wasn’t exactly how it described it in the FAQ, though...
