I realise I'm about 2/3 through this story and I now have to start pulling the threads together. I've littered loads of clues all over the story so far, some of which will be redundant and probably have to be removed in the final version, but although I know how it should end, I still haven't worked out how to get there.
I had a long train journey the other day, so I decided to try the 'Free writing' creativity technique again to see if that would help me come up with some ideas. These were the results, very messy, and not at all final, but at least the method gives me something to work with:
To do
- Need to
check timeline.
What do the documents from Ivana contain?
- diary
entry for Kaiec with initials JF in Vienna
- shipping
documents for medical supplies to Zagreb – charity goods? Food? But the prices
are ridiculously high.
- draft of
letter of intention / agenda for discussion /
- hotel
reservation confirmation
- notes about the meeting prices, quantities
etc…
What does
the cd from Bernard contain?
- picture
of Jeremy and Kaiec together
- nothing
really significant. But Kaiec panics and think there must be something more
significant
CD from
Bernard
What does the disc from Bernard contain?
- Pic of
Jeremy + Timothy with Kaiec
- something
that compromises the British govt, but not obvious
Next steps
- Celia
contacts Jeremy and Tomi to tell them
that information has arrived. Doesn’t specify what. Asks if he will help her
destroy Kaiec. Promises to do so.
- Tomi
wants to blackmail Celia. Working now for Colonal.- contacts Tomi, with same
message. Tomi appears in Munich. Tries to blackmail Celia. Working for Colonel.
- Franz has
to do something brave/ important, but non-violent. Franz takes some holiday,
goes off to Croatia and comes back with Ned. This could then bring things to a
head??
Confrontation Tomi / Celia
- Franz
hurls himself between Celia and Tomi, rolls around on the floor, gun goes off,
Tomi dead or Tomi trips over Amadeus and shoots himself. Or can something else
happen to Tomi? What?
- Timothy
deals with Tomi’s body
Oktoberdest
- Kaiec
cames ostensibly to visit Lenz. Taken to Oktoberfest by Lenz. Arranges to meet
Celia there.
- Celia
runs away across the dodgems being chased by Kaiec, runs between the cars of
the teacup and saucer thingy, Kaiec is hit by one and smashed to bits
- Fisk is
caught by the police and exposed, career is ruined,
Ned appears
Celia: What
the hell have you been doing all this time?
Ned: Now,
that’s quite a story.
***
Jeremy:
Fucking German!
Franz:
Austrian. Fucking Austrian.
