worried she might step into trouble.’
‘Why do you think that?’
‘She’s left with Victor Adamovich.’
‘Left to go where?’ His ears perked up. He’d had a few guys on Victor, no one had mentioned he’d left the county or country.
‘I’m not sure, but London packed to leave with him, something about finding Paige.’
‘Where do you think they’re going?’
‘I’m not sure, but I think they’re leaving the country. He promised to find Paige, so that’s what he’s going to do.’
‘Dam it!’ The words caught him off guard and he quickly apologised to Portia. ‘I’m going to look into this. Try not to worry.’
‘Okay, please just bring my daughter and granddaughter back safely.’
‘I intend to.’ He looked at the package. Now more than ever he could have all the manpower he needed. He was certain there was enough evidence in that package to convince the boss to get more men on Victor. ‘I’ll get back in touch once I’ve found something.’
‘Thank you detective.’ She hung up.
Detective Gates looked at the package. He couldn’t imagine what was inside and couldn’t wait to find out. He picked it up, hopped out of the car and made his way to his flat. He shut the door behind him, headed straight for the kitchen and switched on the kettle. He placed the brown package on the table, and then ripped it open. His heart sunk the moment he pulled out a Littlewoods catalogue.
‘What the fuck!’ He threw the catalogue as far as it would go. ‘Dam it!’ He fumed. He scrolled his phone and rang her number, she picked up on the second ring. ‘Do you think this is a bloody joke?! Did he put you up to this?’ he was livid.
‘I’m sorry, who is this?’ Nadine asked.
‘It’s Detective Gates, you sent me a package, but it’s a fucking catalogue! What the hell!’
‘I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are or how you got this number, please don’t call me again!’ She hung up.
‘Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!’ He threw his phone against the wall and the minute it hit the it he regretted it. But he was so angry, that this had happened to him. Would he ever win over Victor Adamovich?! He was beginning to think not.

‘T here, I’ve done it. Can I get back to my life now?’ Nadine asked one of Victors minions.
‘Phone.’ He held out his hand.
She handed him the mobile.
‘Could you go now, I’ve got things to do.’
‘You’re not getting off that easy,’ he said with a slight smile.
Nadine swallowed back hard.
‘He gave you an amazing life to start over. Money, a new house, but you still felt the need to take him down.’
‘What do you care? You only work for him.’
‘Here’s the thing.’ He knelt down to her level. ‘I hate spoilt bitches like you, but out of respect for Victor, I’ll hold off doing terrible things to you.’
She gulped.
‘Right now, I’m the one who will keep you in place until he gets here.’
‘Victor?’
He nodded. She didn’t like the sound of that.
‘Did you really think he’d let something like that slip past him. You must’ve forgotten who you’re dealing with.’ He stood up. ‘Now if you don’t mind, I’ll have a drink.’ He started for the kitchen. ‘But don’t worry, you can go about your business, shop, do whatever girly things you do. Just know that I’ll be there, always.’
She didn’t say a word. Nothing good could come out of any of that.

V ictor had spent most of the time on the phone, and smoking cigarettes, but it wasn’t too bad for London. There was lots of entertainment on board. When the plane finally landed, they were driven to a place that was in the middle of nowhere. Victor stepped out of the Landrover and looked around. He pulled out his phone and made a call. A few minutes later two more Landrover’s drove up the dusty road and finally stopped behind Victor’s car.
‘Are you sure this is the place?’ Victor asked Bradley as he walked towards him.
‘It is,’ said
‘Why do you think that?’
‘She’s left with Victor Adamovich.’
