Chapter 13

Cahill

Waking at six in the morning, I get up and head straight to the gym to meet Ruairi. I know Sophie will sleep in, she had a big day yesterday. I am there first so I do some warms ups. Today we will do weights because we need to talk, to sort things out. I’m not sure if I should get into a sparring match with Ruairi, not without wanting to kill him for what he said about Sophie and scaring her. I know he meant let her get back to her normal life, but she didn’t know that.

Watching her fall apart in my arms was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I know it’s because I love her. Stupid of me to fall in love, and never mind in the space of a few weeks. Hopefully she will catch up with that and love me back, but if not, I will spend my life loving her. Ruairi saunters in, head down, looking like he hasn’t slept.

“You get any sleep?”

“No, I sat up trying to work out what is going on. I’m getting nowhere, Cahill. I’m sorry for what I said about your girl, but I still think it’s her. You need to tell me what happened yesterday while up north, and maybe more about Sophie? Lauren is useless when it comes to Sophie’s life outside of Dublin here.”

Ruairi looks defeated, and that’s not like him. I let the comment he said last night go for now, but I will address it with him later.

“Yesterday, Liam and I went to Belfast to meet with Darragh, head of the Irish Rebellion. He’s been the main guy we deal arms to. You know him. The meeting went smooth, then I got a text from Jones to tell me about the smoke bomb. I didn’t say anything in front of Darragh. I excused myself saying there was an emergency and I needed to head back. I told Liam in the car when we left. On the back road from Dormara to Banbridge before the A1, a car came out of the side road and straight into us. We didn’t have a chance to clear it. Our car rolled. Liam and I got out. Listened, heard the first shot, and then we just took them out. They had us surrounded. One guy wasn’t dead. We asked him who he works for and what do they want. He just said, ‘You have something that isn’t yours, return it, and we will go away’. That was all I got out of him. Liam shot him in the head, you know what he’s like. I did see a tattoo of a Union Jack, but that’s all that stood out. We took their car and drove home. The car is at Jonathon’s place. He wants to do a swipe over it in case there is tracker or something and see if he can find out anything.”

I look at Ruairi who is taking in everything. I can see him trying to figure something out in his head.
