Ana and her sister Monica were sitting on a bench not far from the church of Saint-Nicholas<\/p>\n
Both sisters had been born in Granville but now lived in Paris<\/p>\n
They were visiting the town as they did together every six weeks<\/p>\n
To visit the sea<\/p>\n
I tell you there were reports in the 1950s that two Killer Whales were seen in the sea not far from the town<\/i><\/p>\n
That would be impossible as this incident would have been recorded in the history of the town<\/i><\/p>\n
A fishing boat was attacked <\/i><\/p>\n
Killer Whales rarely attack there have only been a handful of incidents in recent years <\/i><\/p>\n
Monica who was the taller of the two sisters was holding an exercise book in her hand<\/p>\n
Are you writing again? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
A story? <\/i><\/p>\n
Sort of <\/i><\/p>\n
What is it about? <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you remember the Julie Martin affair? <\/i><\/p>\n
I have heard of it <\/i><\/p>\n
The financier\u2019s daughter who was kidnapped just over five years ago<\/i><\/p>\n
They never found her the poor girl is probably rotting in a shallow grave somewhere in this area<\/i><\/p>\n
No she is very much alive \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
How do you know? <\/i><\/p>\n
Because I have met her in Paris <\/i><\/p>\n
Why has she not alerted the authorities? <\/i><\/p>\n
Would you?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
Her father was a pig and there were rumours <\/i><\/p>\n
I was aware of the rumours <\/i><\/p>\n
How did she escape?<\/i><\/p>\n
It was very simple really <\/i><\/p>\n
The kidnapping was arranged by an uncle and his two nephews <\/i><\/p>\n
It was amateur to the extreme <\/i><\/p>\n
The kidnappers were not even local <\/i><\/p>\n
They were from the south but had contacts in this area<\/i><\/p>\n
Were they gypsies?<\/i><\/p>\n
Not exactly but not far removed <\/i><\/p>\n
Why Julie?<\/em><\/p>\n Well her father made no secret of his wealth and Julie was an obvious target <\/i><\/p>\n Why did they choose Julie and not Cora?<\/i><\/p>\n Her face was too well known <\/i><\/p>\n Julie was the shyer of the two sisters <\/i><\/p>\n She was an easier target <\/i><\/p>\n How did she escape? <\/i><\/p>\n Let\u2019s put it this way she used her brain <\/i><\/p>\n After Julie was snatched they hid her in a run-down cottage not far from Granville <\/i><\/p>\n They were that stupid <\/i><\/p>\n But the cops were more stupid <\/i><\/p>\n They even visited the farm and missed Julie completely <\/i><\/p>\n How did she do it? <\/i><\/p>\n It was quite easy she looked for the weakest link in the chain <\/i><\/p>\n Quite early on she realised that she was dealing with amateurs <\/i><\/p>\n But amateurs with guns can also kill <\/i><\/p>\n What happened?<\/i><\/p>\n It was easy she had identified that the youngest brother was attracted to her <\/i><\/p>\n He would watch her but was too shy to do anything about it <\/i><\/p>\n She began teasing him slowly and subtly until on the day that the ransom was due to be paid she put her plan into operation<\/i><\/p>\n She was left alone in the cottage with the younger brother<\/i><\/p>\n Yes go on <\/em><\/p>\n Did she seduce him? \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n In a way <\/i><\/p>\n She used her ultimate weapon her body but she was subtle <\/i><\/p>\n She asked the younger brother for a bath as she was menstruating <\/i><\/p>\n He unlocked her chains and watched her bathe<\/i><\/p>\n The obvious happened after that <\/i><\/p>\n But as with all things it fucked up <\/i><\/p>\n Julie\u2019s original intention was to attack the younger brother and escape <\/i><\/p>\n She had hidden a brick<\/i><\/p>\n But it did not get that far as Julie\u2019s seduction of the younger brother was interrupted <\/i><\/p>\n By the uncle and the older brother? <\/i><\/p>\n Just the older brother <\/i><\/p>\n He caught them and shot at Julie wounding her slightly in the arm <\/i><\/p>\n Why did he do that as she was their ace card?<\/i><\/p>\n It was the intention to kill her all along as soon as the ransom had been delivered<\/i><\/p>\n Well to cut a long story short the younger brother shot his older brother dead<\/i><\/p>\n What happened then?<\/i><\/p>\n Well they drove to St Malo to meet the uncle <\/i><\/p>\n Julie had thought quickly and had convinced the younger brother that they should kill the uncle and start a new life together with the ransom <\/i><\/p>\n And the idiot fell for it?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes although the d\u00e9nouement was even more spectacular than she had expected <\/i><\/p>\n Together they had invented a story that the cops had raided the farmhouse and that the older brother had been captured <\/i><\/p>\n But the uncle did not buy the story <\/i><\/p>\n The younger brother shot him but did not check to ensure that he was dead <\/i><\/p>\n As they escaped with the money the dying uncle shot the younger brother causing the car to crash into a tree <\/i><\/p>\n Julie survived the impact but the younger brother was trapped behind the steering wheel <\/i><\/p>\n The car caught fire and she just stood there with the money and watched him burn to death screaming curses at her as he did so<\/i><\/p>\n Julie then returned to the uncle and finished him off <\/i><\/p>\n But before she did so she pissed on him to degrade him further <\/i><\/p>\n And the rest is what you have read in the newspapers <\/i><\/p>\n A criminal gang falls out <\/i><\/p>\n There are many deaths <\/i><\/p>\n The hostage was never found although there were extensive searches in the area <\/i><\/p>\n For all intents and purposes Julie Martin is dead <\/i><\/p>\n The money was never found <\/i><\/p>\n There was a third party who betrayed all three <\/i><\/p>\n He or she is still at large <\/i><\/p>\n The only thing that was not explained was the urine soaked clothing of the dead uncle <\/i><\/p>\n DNA proved that it was Julie\u2019s <\/i><\/p>\n For a while she was suspected but the cops are stupid <\/i><\/p>\n They think she is dead <\/i><\/p>\n Her blood is found at the cottage <\/i><\/p>\n The cops do not realise that the blood is hours older than the urine <\/i><\/p>\n The financier was not liked <\/i><\/p>\n He caused problems for the cops <\/i><\/p>\n Soon the case is placed on a cold slab <\/i><\/p>\n Julie Martin is dead <\/i><\/p>\n But Monica Perez is alive <\/i><\/p>\n Julie Martin was blonde <\/i><\/p>\n But Monica Perez has dark hair <\/i><\/p>\n Julie Martin was tall and skinny <\/i><\/p>\n Monika Perez is tall like Julie Martin <\/i><\/p>\n But is carrying more weight <\/i><\/p>\n Look we are here in Granville and nobody recognises me <\/i><\/p>\n I am a good friend of yours <\/i><\/p>\n You are Cora\/Ana<\/i><\/p>\n In Granville you are Cora the grieving sister of the late Julie <\/i><\/p>\n You are training to be a Marine Biologist <\/i><\/p>\n You are much quieter now <\/i><\/p>\n In Paris you are Ana Perez <\/i><\/p>\n You live with your sister Monica <\/i><\/p>\n Your parents are divorced <\/i><\/p>\n They both live in Aix <\/i><\/p>\n In separate apartments <\/i><\/p>\n You both keep in contact with your parents<\/i><\/p>\n A priest passes the sisters<\/p>\n He smiles<\/p>\n I think he knows who you are <\/i><\/p>\n He does <\/i><\/p>\n I confessed to him but left out the bloody bits <\/i><\/p>\n I said I was raped <\/i><\/p>\n He bought into it <\/i><\/p>\n I confessed that I stole my father\u2019s money <\/i><\/p>\n And started a new life in Paris <\/i><\/p>\n With Cora\/Ana <\/i><\/p>\n He understood <\/i><\/p>\n I always visit the church of Saint-Nicholas<\/i><\/p>\n To confess my sins <\/i><\/p>\n I tell the priest that I am now happy <\/i><\/p>\n He understands <\/i><\/p>\n In a years\u2019 time another tragedy will hit the Martin family <\/i><\/p>\n Guy Martin will be lost at sea <\/i><\/p>\n His boat will be attacked\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n By a Killer Whale <\/i><\/p>\n I tell you there were reports in the 1950s that two Klller Whales were seen in the sea not far from the town<\/i><\/p>\n That would be impossible as this incident would have been recorded in the history of the town<\/i><\/p>\n A fishing boat was attacked <\/i><\/p>\n As the only surviving daughter you will inherit everything <\/i><\/p>\n We have no mother <\/i><\/p>\n Our mother is dead<\/i><\/p>\n She was killed by a Killer Whale <\/i><\/p>\n Whilst swimming <\/i><\/p>\n It was classified as an accidental drowning <\/i><\/p>\n What a tragic family the Martins are <\/i><\/p>\n First the mother and then the daughter <\/i><\/p>\n And now the much hated father <\/i><\/p>\n Poor poor Cora <\/i><\/p>\n She will leave the town and never return <\/i><\/p>\n But will send an annual gift to her beloved church <\/i><\/p>\n The church of Saint-Nicholas<\/em><\/p>\n Cora\/Ana lifts her tee shirt to reveal her lower back<\/p>\n See my tattoo<\/i><\/p>\n Cora\/Ana has a tattoo of a Killer Whale<\/p>\n Her sister lifts her tee shirt<\/p>\n She too has a tattoo of a Killer Whale<\/p>\n I showed this to the priest <\/i><\/p>\n He also has a tattoo of a Killer Whale <\/i><\/p>\n Deep on his lower arm <\/i><\/p>\n He lost his grandfather in the 1950s <\/i><\/p>\n A fishing boat was attacked <\/i><\/p>\n By a Killer Whale<\/i><\/p>\n Killer Whales rarely attack there have only been a handful of incidents in recent years <\/i><\/p>\n But these are on the increase as these wonderful creatures search for food <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ana and her sister Monica were sitting on a bench not far from the church of Saint-Nicholas Both
