The young soldier stiffened his posture and narrowed his eyes as Ed passed in front of the sentry box. Poor bastard. Four years’ military service! Could that be right? If Lourdes was telling the truth, he’ll be thanking his lucky stars he’s on sentry duty in the middle of Lisbon, rather than in a tropical hell-hole where everyone hates him. The gate swung inwards to let a military vehicle pass out. Behind it, Ed glimpsed tropical vegetation and the façade of an ornate old building. He carried on and turned into the side street that housed the Sussex School in a modern block with a fine view of the city’s Army Headquarters but no distinguishing features of its own. Ed thanked his lucky stars that he was young enough not to have been called up for even one year of “national service”. He had been able to finish his studies at Stevenage Tech in peace. Ed followed a trio of pretty teenage girls into the building. On the stairs, they glanced back at him and giggled, resting their hands on each other’s arms and whispering words he caught but failed to understand. They stopped in front of a notice boa rd at the top of the stairs. It was adorned with portrait photos of people who did not look local, with the exception of one whom Ed recognised as Carlos, his teacher of Portuguese for Foreigners. He assumed the people portrayed must be members of the Sch ool’s teaching staff. One of the girls backed into Ed as he passed. He felt her firm bottom against his thigh. Ed raised his hands, palms outward. “I’m so sorry,” he said, smiling. He brushed past and into the reception area, looking for Ção. The sound of giggling followed him. The reception area held dozens of students milling around between classes. Ção was not among them. He saw Anne, her head bobbing above the students surrounding her, and hailed her. She excused herself and came over to him. “Recovered from the party, Mr B?” “Mr Businessman! Good business, man!” “Fully recovered, thanks. You?” Anne’s face clouded. “I haven’t seen him and I haven’t heard from him, either. Have you?” “I’m quite worried, actually.” Ed caught an aroma he remembered from his party. Hands covered his eyes. He turned around. The hands fell away, leaving him gazing into the seductive eyes of Maria da Conceição. “Olá, querido!” she whispered, then kissed him full on the mouth. A bell rang. Everyone started moving towards classroom doors. Ção skipped past him and caught the arm of a dark, stocky young man wearing thick spectacles. Ed recognised their mutual greeting as German. The door closed behind them. Even though the man looked more Latin than Teutonic, Ed assumed that he had just caught his first sight of the redoubtable Calvin. And his first, sweet, lingering taste of Calvin’s delectable apparent admirer. Ed turned to face the long reception desk, behind which three young secretaries sat. Laura and Assunção were engrossed in their work, but Célia smiled and winked at him. “They’ll be out in fifty minutes.” As though he did not know. Ed sighed, and sat on one of the functional chairs lining the walls. Laura put down her phone. “The boss would like to have a word with you. He’s in his office. Just down that corridor, on the left.” “Yeah. Get to know the students. Reminisce about Blighty. You know.” She sounded as though she’d just stepped off the plane from London herself. Ed found it strange to be considered a student again, but he was taking Portuguese lessons there, a couple of times a week if he could make it. “Hello, Mr. Scripps. May I call you Ed?” The speaker was a man of medium height with blond hair curlier than Ed’s. There was a canny glint in his green eyes. He looked old to Ed – well over thirty. His handshake was firm; his smile was relaxed. “I’m Keith. Would you come down to my office?” Ed followed the Director of the Sussex School down the corridor. Keith ushered him into a medium-sized office, gestured to a chair and sat himself behind a broad workaday desk. “How are you getting on with Carlos? Learning?” “Carlos is fine. Has a good classroom manner. I’m a bit slow, but I think I’m getting the hang of the lingo.” “You’ll learn a lot more outside the classroom than in it, Ed, if you put your mind to it. But you really should try to attend Carlos’s lessons regularly, especially in these early stages.” “Yeah, I know, Keith, but it’s not so easy.” “That’s right. Luckily for me.” “Businessman, Carlos tells me.” “Right. Sort of. I’m not independent yet. Still working for Retail Support Services. But no-one from England keeps tabs on me. I’m practically my own boss.” “Nice feeling, isn’t it?” “Can you tell me about your business?” “Sure. I’m a man with a mission. I’m here in Portugal to bring loyalty cards to stores and supermarkets.” “Loyalty cards? That’s a new one on me.” “It’s simple really.
