Paris Photographer – Louis Paulin
Mr Cushing had continued to drive, as a smallish town appeared; then The Old One said: ‘the signpost, look, that will be the station just down there, and next to it will be the station car park,’ -the Old One was still using his smartphone on GPS as he said, ‘take a left… indicate, now!’
Mr Cushing just raised one eyebrow a little, as he smoothly drove down to the station car park, while carefully looking in his rear mirror – still no gendarmes and no Inspector Clouseau, a small smile appeared.
Meanwhile, the red-headed woman had been using her own smartphone to ping to WhatsApp as another phone pinged back; she grinned as she started an important conversation.
And this is how it went, but using condensed words and useful emojis:-
I’m not sure that faith comes into this – not faith, just practical things, hmm, gems… diamonds – well I know what to do, I know a former jeweller who became a fence, he’s called Monsieur Bourbon, it’s near Montmartre, just a few streets from where I stay, as she winked and used a thumbs-up sign.
The red-headed woman pocketed her smartphone, as Scatty, Joan and Francis all looked at her with various very quizzical questions – who, what and why… and when?
She held up her hands with a radiant smile – ‘all of us, plus Mr Cushing, the Old One, and of course, those two who we know very well, we’ll be back in Paris, very, very soon – mark my words.’

Am I sensing cahoots here? I thought the gargoyles had the gems.
Always amazed that Clouseau always wins the day, collateral damage notwithstanding. 😂

Ah well, the back story shows that the gargoyles realised that the red-headed woman would have to help them to fence those stolen diamonds. 😉

Guessing is good, especially since my other ego is so much better to use a smartphone (and I’m still giggling – you too, Darnell?).

Yes, I can just see two gargoyles going into a jeweler’s shop…nothing suspicious about that at all, right?

love the last line in this Six… not only because of the (group of) characters mentioned, but…. even better is how you need not mention the two oldest of characters and yet we Readers all know who you mean.

Thanks a lot, Clark. But who knew that those two ancient ugly, but fun and clever ‘people’, would be so famous in the SSSC&B. Those two, the two gargoyles are grinning from ear-to-ear, well as much as they can!

Their plan is progressing. I was wondering how they were going to dispose of those jewels.

Those gems it would seem will be repurposed, meaning (I think) that those diamonds will be made into different shapes. 😉
