I'm starting to motor again – dreaming my plot for the WW Sequel.

In the past when I'm well into a book plot I start to dream scenes.

This is a scene from the rough draft of the WW Sequel.

“Missus Green. It's Detective Inspector Fanahan. Can you open the door?”

“Inspector, just a moment.”

The door was opened in a confident manner. Then Shay saw why there was no hesitation. The largest Alsation dog he ever saw was sitting in the hall between himself and Aoife Greene.

“That's not Sheba!”

“No Inspector. Sheba died a while ago. Old age. She went peacefully. This is Davy. He minds me now, don't you boy. Come in.”

“Will he let me?”

“Of course, don't be silly.” Aoife turned and walked down the small hall, and headed for the back room. A kitchen he presumed.

Not fit for the parlour am I? That's where you used to bring Tyre ll.

Carefully he entered, closed the door and stepped around the dog.

After the carefully presented tea and biscuits, arranged on the tray, so that her blindness would not lead to an accident, a cup doped, milk spilled, or a biscuit being replace on the white table cloth after a bite, Aoife asked “ How can I help. Not another kidnapper in the area is there?” Then she smiled.

Jees if you only knew. No nothing like that Missus Greene. It's a new initiative I am working on. Policing in the community, bring pets to visit patients in Nursing Homes. I want yourself and Sheb...sorry what's his name again

“Davy.” At his name the dog stirred, then figuring he was mentioned in passing, not being called to work, went back to his light snooze.

“Davy, to be one of those visiting dogs. Will that be OK?”

“I can go with him. Is that part of the plan...you see...”

“No Missus Greene, that's the plan. If you agree, I will check it out with the office and ring you with the time and place. Then I can collect you. I lost your mobile number, can you write it down.....No can you ring me please my number is....”

Last night I had a dream that Aoife rang retired Superintendent Bob Tyrell to tell him Fanahan had called and that they had visited the Insane Asulyum.

He tells her he knew she had a new dog: some of his ex colleagues rang him now and then with the news from his old station.

When she told him about Fanahan bringing the dog and shoving him in the inmates faces, he twigs that Georgie, who is terrified of dogs is missing and possibly in hiding again.

Up to last night I did not have this plot avenue.

Roll on tonight and more dreams.
