George Polandrous watched the wide screen TV on his office wall with a mixture of disbelief and horror. Max was no longer returning his calls and events in Bulgaria were taking on a surreal feel. The footage was from a local Bulgarian news agency, but the BBC had added their own voice over.
"..... one local woman was left burning and hanging out of an upstairs window...........number of dead not known at present but likely to be at least five............ bizarre events in Varna...."
The story seemed to be everywhere and by now it would be un-killable. A dull winter for news and then a story arrives about strange and nasty deaths in the east. It was a wet dream to the media and pictures of the burning woman were already turning up on Facebook.
"At least we know Carlos isn't involved in this." He said.
