15th February 10pm Anna Marchant's Flat, London.

Christopher bounded up the last set of steps up to Anna's front door.

Trying the front door, he waited for a few moments before reaching up to the concealed hiding place for the key.

Unlocking the door, he went inside. Instantly, there was a strong smell of perfume in the air, and steam wafted from the open bathroom door.

Closing the front door, he crept to the bathroom. The bath was still hot, bubbles all over the place, and the normally neat towels were strewn over the place.

Smiling to himself, Christopher moved towards the bedroom. He opened the door slowly.

"Anna?" he said softly, "Are you ok?"

His smiled faded as he saw that there was a man in bed with her.

"Christopher?" Anna sat bolt upright, the man doing the same. "Oh god! Christopher, I'm sorry."

"Really?" Christopher's voice became cold. "Seems that good old Captain Marsh here was more than enough to make you forget about me."

He looked at her. "How long? I think I have a right to know."

"Not long." Anna's voice was full of anguish, "I'm so sorry! I wanted to tell you."

Christopher held up his hands. "Don't bother. You can have him. I've got a new job which means that I'll be moving abroad."

He turned to leave. "I'll be around tomorrow to get my things, I don't want to see him here, otherwise I will lose my self control."

"And I'm taking Asterix with me." He smiled. "After all, I bought him."

Christopher left Anna's flat without another word.

-------------------------------------

Christopher flung himself down onto his sofa. Asterix meowed and leapt onto his lap.

"I envy you, mate," Christopher said, tickling his cat's chin. "You don't have any worries, do you?"

Asterix looked at him and purred. "Mrrrow?"

"How would you like to move somewhere where you would be made a fuss of every day of the week?" Christopher said as he reached over to tap a number into his vidphone.

Asterix purred again, nestling into Christopher's lap.

After a while, the number was answered.

"Jeff Tracy speaking." The senior member of the Tracy family appeared on the screen.

"Mr Tracy." Christopher paused, "I've decided to accept your offer."
