“Is she wearing the same clothes as yesterday?”

“Oh my god, yes! She went home with David you know…”

“No way. That's the third bloke now she's been with.”

“They're saying he just dropped her home, but who takes over an hour for a twenty-minute trip?”

“I know right? Isn't she married?”

“Yep. Two kids.”

“David’s married too. His wife put him on probation from last year’s do when he got off with the waitress, remember?”

“Oh shit, yes! I nearly forgot! Haha!”

“Tell you what, if they have shagged then he's going to be looking for a place to stay.”

“Hope he's got a big car.”

“Well, I heard she's offered to take him in because her husband, Lee, has got a job abroad and they're struggling on the mortgage.”

“Really? So David’s going to be her new lodger?”

“Yeah if you want to call him that.”

“Lodged right in!”

“Ha! I know! Honestly, it's so messed up. Who does that to someone they're with? Cheaters are the worst.”

“So scummy. If I was David’s wife kick him out straight away.”

“Should we…no forget it.”

“Should we what?”

“Well, you know, say something.”

“To who? David’s wife? Lee? No way. Not our monkey, not our circus.”

“Plus we don't have any proof.”

“Yeah, that too. I suppose we could…make some?”

“What? Make some? What the hell?”

“Well, kind of mash-up some grainy photos and pretend like they're from some CCTV or something?”

“Oh my god…that’s hilarious!”

“Let's do it just for fun - we can tell them later it's just a prank.”

“Oh my god, I can't believe we're doing this!”

“Budge over I can't see. Your fat head’s in the way.”

“Look, they're there. In the cafe - two seats in from the right. David’s gone to the counter.”

“I see him now. Where's Lisa?”

“Pink top, back to us.”

“Got it. Can't believe they truly fell for it. Did you see her run out when she opened that email? Classic.”

“He's back now - see?”

“Yes. He looks properly angry.”

“Sarah said that's why Lisa wanted to meet in public cos he's so mad.”

“Well, it was your idea to make it look like she was blackmailing him!”

“I know - good one, right? Shush now, let's see what happens.”

***

“You seen the news?”

“I have yes. And?”

“What do you mean ‘and’?”

“I mean and what? So Lisa’s missing - so what? She wants to keep going off with men she meets randomly that's her bag.”

“But don't you think David might have…”

“What? Killed her? Don't be stupid. Why would he do that?”

“To stop his wife from finding out. And the blackmail and all that stuff.”

“No chance - anyway who cares? None of it was true - it's their fault, not ours.”

“Hmmm…I suppose,”

“Sure. Look at it this way - if Lisa and David hadn't been a pair of cheats…”

“Well, we think that’s what they were doing…”

“…then that's on them. They started it. We just added some flavour and if they took it as real that's on them too.”

“Okay…if you're sure. Maybe we should say something? Maybe try to find Lisa? Let David know it was a prank?”

“No! Not our problem. Anyway, I've heard Gina is seeing Marie’s brother. After what he's meant to have done to that kid, Marie is going to lose her mind.”

“Oh shit! Really? I heard he'd been in prison for it or something?”

“I know! I know! Mad isn't it?”
