"I'll ring him and let him know" smiled Jem, picking up the receiver and placing the call.
Jack, who had just prepared another parcel, answered and sighed with relief on hearing that it had arrived intact and had not been intercepted by Marie, like last parcel.
"Jem, I'm knackered and I'm going to struggle to keep this up for long!"
"Jack, my man! We're counting on you! Keep it up, please and do let us have the next consignment soon. Get some brandy, that'll revive you."
Jack grimaced as he hung up but knowing that success was imperative, set to his task with vigour never seen in a man before.
