Post made a career of following instructions
It was separate trips round the world that delivered them into the same vicinity
Large cheque at doorstep
Hearts in background

Tea bag is placed next to a megaphone
Two truths and a lie: Started out on different arms; our names can be found on an assassin’s notepad and between us we’ve got a large gob and a sting in our tale
