fizzy wine.”
    “Don’t let me keep you.” Cara held up
her knitting again. “I’ll go home and practise my stitches.”
    “You must come back and show me how
you’ve got on. Let me know if you need any more help.”
    “I will do. Thanks again,” Cara said.
She headed for the door, Robin at her side.
    Robin said, “Are you really going home
to practise your knitting? I think that scarf is beyond saving.”
    Cara waited until they’d left the shop.
“We’re going to follow Yvette. I haven’t seen anyone yet who might be a threat
to her.”
    Cara had parked a little way down the
road. She got into the driver’s seat and looked back at Olivia’s Wool Shop.
Robin floated through the metal of the car and into the passenger seat. He
nodded towards the parade of shops and said, “There’s that funny-faced man
again, Sol. It looks like he’s talking to some potential clients.”
    “Oh yes. I wonder what he’s saying to
them. Oh! Hang on, there are some listening devices under this seat.” Cara
reached under the seat and pulled out a small briefcase. She opened it up and
placed a small object on the dashboard.
    Robin whistled. “I’d forgotten this is
your gran’s car. She’s an amazing soul saver.”
    “Yes, you’ve told me that before.”
    “She’s saved hundreds of souls. Needed
three angels to help her.”
    “You’ve told me that too. Ssh! I’m
trying to listen.”
    Cara and Robin listened as Sol spoke to
the two suited men in front of him. The taller man said, “We are more than
interested in this complex, we want two, maybe three retail units. I want that
one on the corner too.”
    Sol said, “I’m afraid that’s already
taken, it’s staying as Olivia’s Wool shop.”
    Cara heard the coldness in the man’s
voice as he said, “That’s a shame. It’s the best unit. Perhaps I can speak to
the person who rents the unit.”
    Sol laughed. “Yvette Carter will never
leave that shop!”
    Cara shivered as she saw the look that
passed between the two suited men.
    There was some more talk as Sol
explained about the benefits of the retail units. The taller man assured Sol
that they’d be in touch soon and Sol walked away.
    The two men were silent as they walked
towards a large car and got in.
    “Why aren’t they driving away?” Robin
asked. “I don’t like how they’re looking at Yvette’s shop. What are they
waiting for?”
    Yvette came out of her shop and locked
it up. She walked towards a small car, got in and drove away. The car that
contained the two suited men drove after her.
    Cara started the car up and said,
“Looks like we’ve found someone who might be a threat to Yvette.”

 

 
    Chapter 4

 
    Cara followed the car that was following
Yvette. They all drove to the shopping centre that was on the other side of the
town. Cara parked at the rear of the car park. Robin flew out of the car and a
second later popped his head through the glass of the driver’s window. He said,
“Yvette’s gone inside and so have those men.”
    Cara moved her hand towards Robin’s
head. “Don’t do that! Either bring your whole self through or wait outside for
me.”
    Robin grinned at her and then moved his
head out of the car. He walked at her side as they entered the shopping centre.
    Yvette walked into a large supermarket,
so did the two men. Cara and Robin followed a little way behind.
    Robin said, “Why are they following
her? Do you think they’re going to ask her about the shop? Maybe ask if they
can have it instead?”
    Cara gave a small shrug. She couldn’t
talk to Robin here, no one else could see him.
    That didn’t stop Robin from talking to
her. “Cara, look at what they’re doing now! Oh! They’re taking a picture of
her! And look, that smaller man with the squashed nose is on his phone now.
Shall I find out what he’s saying?”
    Cara gave him a curt nod and turned to
examine a selection of cooked meats.
    Robin returned to her side a short
while later. “Squashy-nose
