SMS Transcript: Part 12 - 4:36

> Am on boat!

> Excellent. I have taken into account your request to halt the demolition of your car and memorabilia, and you will be pleased to know that I have asked the tow truck driver to hold fire. However. Since the next phase of our game will require your complete cooperation I have also asked the driver to wait in a nearby café pending further instructions should any wrong actions on your part cause me to change my mind. Do you understand David?

> Yes!

> Excellent: Now, you didn't answer my question earlier, did you remember to retrieve the ring from your play-things coffin?

> Yes, but it not the grooms wedding ring! Its a big kids toy ring. Thought you said you had real one?

> Indeed we did, but it never left Exeter. Don't worry; I made arrangements for the real ring to be given to the groom before the wedding, along with a short note from you explaining you had an unavoidable emergency to attend to, and that you will hopefully be joining the rest of the wedding guests later this evening. There was no sense in spoiling your friend's wedding day just because you have been a naughty boy David.

> You've done nothing but lie to me all day! Like I said before, what reason do I have to believe anything you say??

> Well coming from someone who has spent most of his adult life weaving a web of lies, both personally and professionally, I'm sure you of all people are most practiced in simply knowing how to deal with it!

> Ok cilla, so whats at the pier? What you got me doing now?

> (Laugh Out Loud). Oh David, you keep fishing for that crucial bite, don't you. Once again, although the letters I have given you so far do indeed spell Cilla, that is not my name!

> You said you were there that night when the police came to my house, & no one else that night had a name beginning with C, & your defo a woman, I know it! Im gonna have to play your game till the end anyway, so why not just admit it!!

> I had actually said 'I wouldn't be so sure' that I wasn't there David. I promise you, I am not Babs or Cilla! Tell you what; there are two remaining letters to complete my name. Here is one of those for you: (A).

> So there are two A's in your name, rite?

> Correct. Does that help? (Smiley Face).

> No! Unless you are one of the two police officers that came over that night? In which case I'd never know your name anyway? One of them was a woman!

> Wow! I hadn't thought of that angle. Now there's a plot changer for you David. (Smiley Face).

> Bollox, its you CILLA with an extra A!!!

> Once again we have gotten side tracked, and I wanted to talk to you about Ben's confession. Oh well, it will have to wait because you will be approaching the beach front soon, and I need to explain what you can expect when you get there. And to do that you'll need to know what happens next in Millie's story...

> Forget the story ok! Just tell me what you want me to do?

> Please David, this is important! So after retrieving the ring from the island, Divad goes by boat to the Mermaids Rock, and sees for the first time the end of the rainbow and the mountain of treasure. But as he approaches the rock Divad is stopped by the giant Mer-King who is also the guardian at the end of the rainbow, and so remembering what the Ticket Master had told him Divad offers the ring to the Mer-King as payment for passage. The King took it with tears in his eyes and explained how the magical ring held the life of his long lost daughter who was taken from him by a powerful witch when she was a young girl, and whoever should return it would be granted passage to the riches of kings!

> Ok so divad gets the treasure &..?

> Divad didn't know it, but preserved in the rings diamond was the soul of the princess, giving the Mer-King the power to bring his long lost daughter back to life.

> Ok, but what you want me to do at beach? We are near there now. Whats that hot air balloon for?

> As you can imagine after a long and dangerous quest, Divad is in shock to finally have the world's riches literally in his grasp. But he quickly thought of one dilemma... how was he going to get all that gold home? Luckily the Mer-king was so happy to have his daughter back, he fashioned a magic balloon made of red rubber leaves and attached it to a huge basket, telling Divad that it would take him home with as much treasure as the basket could hold.

> FUCK THAT OK!! Im not going on any balloon ride!!!

> You must understand the importance of this last appearance David. Everyone (including the newspapers) are there to witness one of the last scenes of Millie's book being played out. It's all part of the promotions for the theater show tonight. Don't worry you will not be answering any questions from the press. All you have to do is leave the boat wearing the costume and wave to everyone as you enter the balloon basket. One of my friends will be staying behind but two will be going with you, so don't worry, you'll be safe. They tell me its perfect weather conditions for a balloon ride today.

> Look. I hate heights ok! I hate flying!! That why I got a boat & not a plane! Wheres balloon going? & whers sandra? You said she's in Weston?

> Sandra is in the balloon basket David.

> Wtf! I don't believe you, this is another one of your tricks!

> I promise you David, Sandra is currently unconscious and pad-locked in a box, inside the balloon basket. What do you think that key in your suitcase is for?

> Whers balloon going?

> A course has been set for Exeter, so you can re-join the wedding! Now my friends tell me you have already arrived at the pier. In the interests of not keeping people waiting, could you please leave the boat and hand the man who's stood on a rock and dressed as the Mer-King the princesses' ring, he will then theatrically point you to a cut out picture of the treasure and the hot air balloon. Remember to wave to the children and photographers as you walk. Oh, and don't forget your suitcase.

> I don't believe you ok, Im not going!

******

> Ok syco, whats this pic message, whats all that around ben?

> If you look carefully you will see that Ben is currently surrounded by many boxes and an array of your petrol drenched French furniture! Now please consider the following both quickly and carefully; if you do not leave the boat immediately I will set your chauffeur alight and the rest of your glorious home along with him! You should be aware that all security systems and fire alarms have been deactivated, so your secluded mansion (and all its contents) will be in ashes long before any help arrives! Your Ferrari and memorabilia will also be taken and crushed. Not to mention the mystery of your play-things fate when we take her on a bumpy balloon ride regardless of your cooperation. The choice is yours David.

> Ok am going you fuck!

> A wise decision. Please text me once you are airborne.
