IOU

Chapter 6

The next morning she dressed carefully. She wanted to be distracting

without being obvious. Most of all she wanted to appear slightly

stupid and no kind of threat. She chose a bright yellow low-cut

cropped top that displayed plenty of tanned flesh. She added a skimpy

pair of denim shorts and a pair of strappy sandals that displayed her

long legs to the best advantage. She didn't overdo the make-up and

left her hair loose and wavy. In Ellie's opinion she definitely didn't

look anything like an investigative journalist. She checked that the

Dictaphone was working and concealed it in her bag, then set off, her

heart beating at double speed.

The firm turned out to be a combination of a scrap yard and iron

foundry. The owner, Mr Peterson, was a short, balding man who was more

interested in Ellie's cleavage than her conversation. After several

artless pleasantries Ellie pressed record on the Dictaphone and steered

the conversation to where she wanted it to go.

"Daddy says you are so talented. He says he always uses you. So I

thought who better to make a special pipe rack as a present for him."

"Oh I'm sure I can make you what you want. What did I make for your

dad?"

"Oh it wasn't actually for him. It was for his committee thing that's

making Middleton so pretty. You know, the M.R.B. or M.R.C. or

something."

"You mean the Middleton Restoration Committee?" Mr Peterson said

suspiciously.

"That's it!" exclaimed Ellie, giving a giggle and a little bounce. Mr

Peterson's attention returned to Ellie's chest. "You're so clever."

"I do my best," he said smugly. Ellie tucked her arm through his and

leaned closer.

"You made some litter bins or something for them. I don't know why

they need bins but I'm sure that's what Daddy said. You did make them,

didn't you?"

"Yeah, litter bins for the high street." Mr Peterson confirmed, more

interested in Ellie's breast pressed against his arm.

"So could you do me a picture of a pipe rack so I could see what it

would look like. Daddy showed me the pictures you did for the bins.

As soon as I saw them I wanted something pretty like those bins you

made for the high street for my Daddy. So I do have the right person,

don't I?"

"Oh yes, it was me that did those bins. You just come back tomorrow

and I'll have some pictures done for you and you can choose which one

you want"

"Why thank you so much." Ellie climbed back into her car and drove

away, blowing the little man a kiss as she went. Her next stop was the

firm that was supposed to empty the non-existent bins everyday. She

had easily discovered that this firm belonged to Mr Peterson's

brother-in-law. Mr. Walters was a tougher prospect than his relative

had been though. Ellie could hardly pretend to be a customer so she

decided to take a different approach.

"I'm doing an article for the local paper about the preparations for

the opening of the New Town Hall. Could I just ask you a few

questions?" Ellie tried to look as innocent as possible, doing

everything but bat her eyelashes at him. He gave a grunt of assent and

she produced her Dictaphone and notepad.

"Are you looking forward to the opening?" she asked brightly.

"Suppose so," he answered grudgingly.

"Will it make extra work for you?" Ellie persevered.

"Maybe."

"Well you'll most likely have to empty the litter bins more often,

don't you think." Ellie held her breath waiting for his answer.

"What bins would they be?" he asked warily.

"The ones on the high street." Mr Walters looked at her in stony

silence so Ellie decided to be bold. "You are Mr Walters, sole owner

of Walters Collection Service?"

"Yes," he replied cautiously.

"And you have a contract with the M.R.C. to empty the litter bins on

the high street, haven't you?" He showed no sign of answering so Ellie

produced the photocopy of the contract and passed it to him.

"Oh, that contract... Yeah I remember that now," he said, trying

feebly to smile.

"So you empty the bins every day?" Ellie asked encouragingly. He

thought hard for a moment.

"I empty every bin that there is on the high street," he said

carefully.

"How full do they get? Do you think they will be able to cope with the

extra traffic on opening day or are you planning to empty them more

often?" Ellie could almost hear the wheels spinning in his brain. He

seemed unsure how much she knew and he obviously was trying to be

careful not to incriminate his self.

"I don't empty the bins myself so I couldn't say," he said at last.

"Could I have the name of the person who does?" Ellie asked.

"I don't know who it is and I don't want you bothering my employees

when they're supposed to be working."

"Oh, I could interview them after work hours," Ellie suggested. "If

you just give me the name."

"No. Now I've answered enough questions. Goodbye, miss."

For a moment Ellie was tempted to keeping interrogating him but then

she decided she probably had enough already. A little more research

discovered the fact that Mr. Walters only employed two men. If

necessary Ellie was sure she could track them down and question them.

It seemed unlikely that they would know anything about the matter. The

M.R.C. accounts showed that payments were made directly to Mr. Walters

so he was the person responsible. Ellie made transcripts of the

Dictaphone's tapes and organised all her photocopies and research

notes. Then she made a final copy of her article and took it

downstairs to show her father.

He read it through and looked at her in puzzlement.

"What is all this, Elizabeth?" he asked.

"It's an article I wrote," Ellie told him. "I'm going to try to sell

it to the local newspaper."

"Are you sure of your facts, Elizabeth? I think that the members of

the committee would have noticed before now if the bins weren't there."

"Why would any of them be on the high street? They all do their

shopping at the Metro Centre or Newcastle, the same as you and Mother."

"I suppose you have a point. Who gave you all this information,

anyway?"

"I found it all out for myself," Ellie replied. "Don't you care that

your committee has been defrauded?"

"Oh yes, but it's not exactly a lot of money, is it?"

"So far it's over five thousand pounds. Surely it's the principle, not

the amount that matters, Father."

"Yes, of course. I'm sorry, Elizabeth. You've obviously put a lot of

work into this little article. It was very kind of you," he said

patronisingly. Ellie tilted her chin defiantly.

"I didn't show it to you to be kind. I just thought I'd see if you had

any official comment that you would like me to add before I submit the

article to the editor."

"You're not really going to try to sell this article?" he laughed

incredulously. "Where do you get these silly ideas from, Elizabeth?"

In a moment Ellie felt all her confidence disappear. Maybe she was

being silly. Why would anyone be interested in something she had

written? Then she remembered Carl declaring his belief in her

abilities.

"You may be right and they won't be interested. But then you might be

wrong. I won't know unless I try."

"I don't think you should waste your time. It was very nice of you to

find out all this information for me. I'll show this to the committee

and we'll get it checked out properly. I'm sure they'll buy you a box

of chocolates to say thank you if it turns out you are right."

"I've already spent a lot of time on this and I'm sure of my facts. I

want to try to be a real journalist," Ellie explained.

"Don't be silly, Elizabeth. Even if the local paper does take your

little article seriously what could they offer you. They spend most of

their time reporting on weddings and funerals."

"It's a start. Everyone has to start somewhere. If they don't take

this article, I'll write another, and another until they print one,"

Ellie declared, hardly able to believe she was arguing with her father.

"Even if I forbid you?" he asked, looking annoyed.

"If you give me a reasonable reason then of course I'll obey you,"

Ellie replied in as dignified manner as she manage. "Otherwise I'm

afraid I'm going down to the newspaper office tomorrow." Ellie tried

to still her trembling knees as her father glared at her.

"Very well" he said at last. "You can quote me as saying the M.R.C.

are very disturbed by these allegations and will be conducting a

thorough investigation. How's that?"

"Thank you, Father," Ellie answered, trying to conceal her disbelief

at his change in attitude. It might have been her imagination but she

thought he was looking at her with respect for the first time ever.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight Elizabeth."

Ellie was more nervous the following day than she could ever remember

being in her entire life. She had her whole wardrobe on the bed and

she was despairing of finding anything to wear when Beth called round

to see her. Without explaining everything, Ellie told Beth that she

needed to look professional for an important interview.

"You want a makeover!" Beth cried. "Can I help? You know I love

anything like this."

"Would you really help?" Ellie asked hopefully. "I don't know where

to start."

"This is going to be fun. How long have we got?"

"As long as you need. It's not an official interview, I'm just turning

up. That's why I want to create the right impression."

"No problem. Lets get started." The morning passed quickly as they

worked to transform Ellie. They streaked her hair with light brown

hair dye and pulled it back in a neat coil. From Ellie's extensive

collection of clothes they found a black trouser suit originally

brought for a funeral. Teamed with an ivory vest top it looked both

professional and casual at the same time. After spending several hours

gossiping and laughing with Beth, Ellie felt much more relaxed. She

had felt guilty at first, miserably conscious that Beth was ignorant of

her tryst with Carl. It was impossible to be constrained for long

though, especially with Beth busily dyeing her hair. Ellie

determinedly put Carl out of her mind and enjoyed spending time with

her old friend.

A few of the nerves returned when Ellie actually entered the

newspaper's office but she wasn't going to turn back now. A

combination of a desire to live up to Carl's expectations and the hope

of proving her father wrong propelled her into the editor's office.

She left nearly an hour later feeling on top of the world. Not only

were they publishing her article they said they would be very

interested in anything else she had to offer. When she explained she

was looking for work they had set up an interview with their larger

parent company. All they could offer was free-lance work, mainly

covering weddings and village fairs. But Ellie was thrilled to be

offered that. Now all she wanted to do was tell someone her good news.

She drove round to Beth's house as fast as she legally could. When

she entered the kitchen the only person there was Carl. As soon as she

saw him Ellie realised that subconsciously she had been hoping to meet

him.

"I did it Carl!" Ellie cried, bubbling over with excitement. "The

paper is going to print my article."

"Well done, Ellie. That's fantastic," Carl responded enthusiastically.

Instinctively Ellie threw her arms round his neck and gave him a kiss

full on his mouth. The moment their lips connected all thought of the

newspaper and her article disappeared from Ellie's mind. Arousal

fizzed through her veins as she opened her mouth and welcomed the

invasion of his tongue. Without any conscious thought she gave a

contented murmur and pressed closer. Their tongues entwined and

pleasure spiralled through Ellie's body. Carl's hands were caressing

the line of her spine and Ellie's fingers were tangled in his hair,

ensuring the closest possible contact. Passion was overwhelming

Ellie's senses when she heard a horrified gasp. Tearing her mouth away

from Carl's, Ellie turned her head to see Beth and her mum stood in the

doorway.

" What on earth is going on in here?" Beth's mother demanded. Ellie

took one look at their appalled faces and ran out of the house before

they could see the tears in her eyes. Beth raced after her and caught

her at the gate.

"Ellie, stop. Was he bothering you? I'll tear him limb from limb if

he's hurt you!" Beth said fiercely. Ellie reluctantly turned to face

her.

"It wasn't Carl's fault, it just happened. My article is going to be

printed and I was happy. And somehow I ended up kissing him." Ellie

explained defensively.

"On the mouth?" Beth asked incredulously. "You somehow ended up

kissing my little brother on the mouth because you were happy!"

"You're probably going to find out sooner or later so you might as well

know now: I slept with Carl last Friday."

"What!" Beth looked at Ellie in disbelief.

"I know you're furious, Beth, but please don't hate me," Ellie pleaded.

"I don't hate you, silly. I just don't understand."

"Neither do I, to be honest," Ellie admitted. "I've always thought of

Carl as a kind of adopted brother but now that's all changed."

"How do you think of him now?"

"I'm not sure yet. I thought it would feel a bit incestuous but then I

realised that I had to keep reminding myself that he was your little

brother because it was so easy to forget. He makes me feel good about

myself. I relax when I'm with him. I don't have to worry whether I'm

making him happy or not because he likes me. I've never had someone

like me just because I'm me."

"I like you, Lizzy likes you, our families like you," Beth protested.

"More than that, we all love you."

"I know. But sometimes I wonder if we would have become friends if we

hadn't all had the same name. And your families weren't given much

chance to like me or not since I've virtually lived with you most of my

life. And you don't know some of the horrible things I've done. I can

tell Carl the most despicable things about myself, things that I hate

myself for, and he still likes me," Ellie explained. "He doesn't care

what I look like. I've finally met a man who is as interested in

what's between my ears as he is in what's between my legs. He just

happens to be nearly four years younger than me and your brother."

"You're serious, aren't you?" Beth asked slowly.

"Yes. But you are one of my closest friends and I love your parents

more than I do my own. If any of you have a problem with me dating

Carl, I'll stop right now."

"What kind of friend do you think I am?" Beth asked indignantly. "I

want you to be happy. If for some strange reason Carl makes you happy

then I'm not going to stand in your way. I'm not saying it won't take

some time to get used to you kissing Carl but I'm sure we'll all

adjust. So why don't you come back inside the house."

"Okay. Are you sure your parents are going to be all right about

this?"

"Only one way to find out. Come on. We've all been dying to hear

about your interview. Are you going to be the next Kate Adie?" Beth

teased.

"You never know." Despite Beth's assurances Ellie still felt nervous

re-entering the kitchen. Everyone behaved as if nothing had happened.

Beth's mum gave the two girls jobs to do to prepare for dinner and

Ellie explained about her article. After dinner Beth's mum casually

suggested that Carl and Ellie should wash up and in a matter of minutes

the two of them were alone in the kitchen.

"Are you okay?" Carl asked Ellie gently.

"Yes, are you?"

"Of course. Mum was a bit startled at first but she soon calmed down.

You know what she's like."

"I know," Ellie replied, walking round the table to Carl. "I was

wondering what you were doing this evening?"

"Apart from the washing up, you mean. Not a lot. Why?"

"I was hoping you might like to go to the pictures at Teeside Park with

me," Ellie offered tentatively.

"You mean just me and you, as in a date?" Carl asked.

"Just like that. I'm not saying I'm in love with you or anything like

that," Ellie explained. "I had a really nice time on Friday night

though so I thought you might try dating a bit, get to know each other

a bit more. You never know, you might find that I'm nothing like your

perfect woman."

"Maybe. Or maybe you'll find that I'm your perfect man," Carl

suggested.

"Oh, your modesty is overwhelming. Is it a deal, then?"

"Definitely. I've just got one condition. I don't think we should

sleep together again. At least for a while."

"Why?" Ellie demanded in astonishment. "Didn't you like sleeping with

me?"

"Oh, I liked it, very, very much. It's just I know you, Ellie. I

don't want you to start thinking that I only want to be with you for

the great sex."

"You are nothing like any other boyfriend I've ever had."

"Good. Now come here and kiss me. Have I told you yet how proud I am

of you getting your article published?" Ellie willing walked into his

arms.

"I'm proud of me too. But it's all thanks to you, you know. I owe you

so much."

"Another IOU. Can I have that in writing please."
