his way to back of queue of armed police.
    Norman waited at the back and nodded as Bentham approached. “Everything Ok?”
    “They’re going in now.”
    The crack of the door being smashed open was followed by a loud explosion. Shouting and screaming of the rampaging police echoed down the hallway.
    The smoke still hung in the air as Bentham entered Vladimir’s apartment. He spotted the open safe and glanced at the Bill the SFO commander. “One of you lot open this?”
    “No.”
    Bentham stooped down and stuck his hand inside the safe. He tapped the rear wall of the safe. “Been cleared out. Vladimir is long gone.”
    The Bill chewed on a chocolate bar he had helped himself to out of Vladimir’s fridge. “Just a shame someone else will replace him.” As he chewed his chocolate bar, his eyes fixed on a hole in the white alcove. “No one fired a round, did they?”
    Bentham shrugged, “Didn’t hear anything?”
    Bill shouted, “Lads, none of you guys got a bit excited and fired a shot did you…?” He watched as they all shook their heads. “Didn’t think so. “ He pointed at the bullet hole. “Looks like Vlad left in a bit of temper.”
    “Starting to look like a power struggle at the very top.”
    Norman peered around the room. “Not seen any other signs though, no blood or d…” He heard the ringtone of his mobile phone. “Sorry.”
    Bentham watched an agitated Norman staring at his ringing mobile “Who the fuck is calling you at a time like this?”
    “Erm … The bird.”
    “I thought you said you didn’t have one?”
    “I have, just haven’t got one that I actually like… I’ve got a whole bunch of woman that I don’t.”
    “Tell her you’re fucking busy, then.”
    Norman turned his back to Bentham and paced towards the door with the phone at his ear. “Look, how did you get this number? You’re going to get us both locked up.”
    “That’s not how you talk to someone who paid off your deposit, Fuck Face.”
    “I’m sorry, but now is not the time.”
    “We need to meet, things are getting a bit out of hand.”
    “Tell me about it”
    “Dockers Cafe. 1030. Don’t be late.”
    “OK.”
    Bentham could see the strain to Norman’s face. “Fuck, thought I had woman problems.”
    “I’ve always had a habit of getting involved with the bad ones.”
    “Tell me about it, starting to think there aren’t any good ones out there.” Bentham stared at the vulgar marble ornaments “Vladimir, you think he’s after Tanya? Has to be right?”
    “Or he was escaping us. One of the two.”
    Bill slung his sub -machine gun over his shoulder, before opening a can of cola from the fridge. “The girl, always the girl.”
    Bentham took a cola from the fridge. “If he’s like any of us, it must be woman problems. So gotta be Tanya.” He passed one to Norman.
    “Any news on her whereabouts?
    “Traffic is still sifting through CCTV.”
    “How long does it take to watch people getting on and off a train?”
    Bentham glanced at his phone. “Speak of the Devil, it’s traffic.” He accepted the call. “You finally found out where they got off?”
    “Saturday at Edinburgh Waverly at 0817.”
    “Finally, you lot are so slow you work for British Rail, never mind police for them.”
    “ Hey, fuck you. We’re really busy at the moment.”
    “Busy? Try Clubs and Vice.” Bentham put the phone back into his pocket. “Right, Edinburgh. Vlad’s probably halfway there as we speak.”
    Bill belched and tossed the can in the bin. “You guys may as well be on holiday, getting to go all around the country like that. Want to try doing a job like this?”
    “What are you joking? I’d love to carry a weapon around like that, must be a babe magnet.”
    Norman nodded. “I agree.”
    Bill laughed and tapped the telescopic sight. “Yeah, who am I kidding, It’s fucking awesome.”
    “Any stories?”
    “I was patrolling parliament a few months back. I got this American chick sniffing around.
