Simon’s face was grave when he came back into the room. ‘You’re not going to like this.’

Maya, Zac and Helen stared up at him questioningly.

‘I relayed the information about the girls, gave the Drug Squad the location of the warehouse. They want to interview you again.’

‘Don’t tell me,’ Maya said, ‘they’re not going to do anything yet. They’re not even going to try to rescue the girls.’

Simon sat down. ‘Maya this is huge, bigger than we imagined. The gang that Gerard was involved with is operating a chain of criminal activity which runs from China across Europe to the UK. The Drug Squad have been watching them for months, Interpol is involved. The gang bring in drugs and girls via Eastern Europe. They run several clubs where they put the girls to work as hostesses – get them hooked, exploit them and use the clubs to distribute supplies of heroin and other drugs.’

‘So, what you’re telling me is that, in the grand scheme of things, Kay and Tanya and Annika and the others are not that important,’ Maya said dully. She sighed bitterly. ‘Individuals don’t matter. The cops will wait until they have all the evidence they need and by that time Kay and the others will all be junkies or dying from some horrible disease they’ve picked up.’

She banged her cup on the table. ‘What more evidence do they need? I’ve told you about the warehouse and they must know where the clubs are.’

Simon pursed his lips and looked into the distance, then he focused on Maya. ‘Look, I shouldn’t tell you this, but there are intelligence reports that there’s a big shipment coming in from Europe, sometime in the next month. They want to catch the gang and their European contacts red-handed.’

Maya slumped forward, elbows on the table and sighed. ‘So that’s what Stefan was talking about. He said they were setting up something big.’

‘Did he give any details?’

‘No.’ She scratched impatiently at the red marks on her wrist. ‘What am I supposed to do now, forget the whole thing? Those men tried to kill me, they’re selling drugs to school kids, controlling girls with drugs so that they can pimp them.’

Simon folded his arms and nodded. ‘That’s exactly what you do – you let specially-trained people take care of it. But first give me all the information you can, write it all down and I promise you it will be followed up. And there’s one other thing.’

‘What?’

‘If this gang has the connections I think they have, it won’t take them long to find you. We’d better put you under protection immediately. Category one.’

Maya looked horrified. ‘No. I don’t want to be confined to the house. I’ve only just gone back to school. Put me on watch, please! The gang don’t know where I live and there’s no way Gerard can find out now.’

Simon raised his eyebrows. In answer, Maya nodded.

‘I’m pretty sure he’s dead. He was in a terrible state and nobody was helping him.’

‘And Kay?’

‘She won’t give me away.
