" Where are we going" I ask, although I am not really sure that I want to know the answer to that. Harry gave a rare smile. "We are going to Iceland May. Reykjavik to be more exact" George and I looked at each other, apprehension on both of our faces. "So what is our plan" I ask "when do we actually go?" Again that smile from Harry. "At the first possible moment" he said. "George you take care of booking our flights, you can use your laptop to do that, I know you are good at that kind of thing. Book charter flights for as soon as possible, and George, I do mean as soon as possible. While you are taking care of that May and I will go and buy some supplies and essential luggage" George looked uncomfortable. "Harry I think these kind of short notice flights are expensive and I don't think that I have enough money left in my account to buy them with". Harry squeezed Georges shoulder affectionately and said "Pay with your card George, I think you will find that you will be able to afford them. Just trust me on this one. We will meet back here in around two hours. Let's go!"
George decided to head into Epping town where he knew there was a travel agents. Once inside he asked the girl at the desk for three seats on a flight from Stanstead airport to Reykjavic. "When will you want to be flying sir" she asked. "There are some good deals available as soon as next Friday if you would like to take a look. "Shaking his head vigorously George said "What about tonight?" She frowned at him, "there is a flight in the morning sir, however I must warn you that they are not cheap. If you travel as I suggested next Friday you will pay £90 for each seat whereas tomorrow morning you will be looking at paying £310 per person". Against his careful nature He said "yes please I will take those three tickets for tomorrow morning". "Well then" she said, "that will be £1030 altogether to pay and this includes a £30 per head booking fee". Hoping that Harry was right George inserted his card into the reader and keyed in his pin number and the amount. "That's fine sir and if you would like to take out your card now your transaction is complete, Collect your tickets at The airport before 5 30 a m." Thanking her George hurried outside and made his way back to meet up with the others at their meeting place.
Meanwhile Harry and May had gone into a nearby shopping mall and purchased three small wheeled suitcases and were now busily buying various necessary items of clothing and toiletry. Also some three flashlights, robust shoes, some strong rope and three heavy warm coats. Satisfied that they had bought everything that they would need they also made their way back to their usual place of meeting in the little cemetery. Now providing that George had managed his task successfully it was time to leave this pleasant country and meet his destiny.
