The Silent Appeal
Femi
Issy’s meddling has a positive outcome this time.
Charlotte
Tiffany was effectively abducted. Removed by a rival drug dealer in exchange for paying some of Twin Star’s debt.
Femi
Horrific. And for other women to be involved is somehow worse. They both know they are handing her over to a ruthless gang.
Charlotte
If Nicky-Rose planted Tiffany’s passport back in her room, then she’s complicit. Regardless of whether she was a willing participant or not.
Femi
Trina is correct. Nicky-Rose should’ve got in writing everything that was promised to her at the start. I can’t believe a woman as smart as she clearly is neglected to do so.
Charlotte
Abuse of trust is always a risk when working with friends.
Femi
A good reason to keep our relationship professional.
Charlotte
The fact that Nicky-Rose was burned out and unwell meant she was more easily manipulated by Trina, or at least failed to notice exactly what was going on.
Femi
By June 2025 she fully intends to give Trina the evidence of their involvement in Tiffany’s abduction and probably murder, in exchange for the money, having set her up to be arrested with it while Inspector Lascelles is in town.
Femi
After which the Barbadian police will at least know what happened to Tiffany Ramirez and who else was involved in her disappearance.
Charlotte
Only Issy swaps the documents for pages of the script, leaving Trina to be arrested on minor drug charges only.
Charlotte
But Nicky-Rose doesn’t know that and flees the country on Sarah-Jane’s passport, which we know from the travel booking assistant at TUI.
Femi
Now WE need to send these documents to Inspector Lascelles. He can charge Trina with conspiracy to abduct.
Charlotte
It’s all we can do for Tiffany. Now to help Mr. Tanner and his colleague convince Fran to appeal her conviction.
