Chapter Eighteen

The Victors Return

It took over two full days before the boat arrived back in its home harbour of Vigo at three o’clock in the morning. Xavier, the captain, received the rest of his money and another stern reminder as to the necessity to keep quiet.

‘I provide many things to many people, gentlemen,’ said the Spaniard. ‘But in my world, discretion is the most valuable commodity of all. You need have no concerns about me or my crew,’ the man had told them. ‘Hasta proxima, Charlie’.

‘Next time, we’re gettin’ on a plane,’ said Mike as walked down the gangway. ‘I’m goin’ to stink of poxy fish for a month’.

‘I told you before, there ain’t going to be a next time,’ Charlie had replied.

The crew returned to their vehicles, where Charlie handed Mike one of the cases of diamonds.

‘Best we split them up. Just in case we get stopped,’ said Charlie. ‘Stick it under a seat or something’.

‘Don’t worry. I ain’t lettin’ this beauty outta my sight,’ said Mike.

‘We meet back up at the bar tonight. Let’s say, ten o’clock, okay? Drinks are all on me’.

‘You might regret sayin’ that, Charlie,’ said Roger.

Charlie grinned. ‘Oh, I intend to hide the quality stuff first’. He shifted to face Roger and in a stern tone said, ‘Now, don’t be getting all sentimental about that motor. Take it to the yard and get it crushed’.

Roger glanced towards the Ford Granada and sighed. ‘That’s gonna kill me, Charlie. But yeah’.

‘You make sure you see it done. Don’t trust them gypo fuckers. You got it?’

‘Yeah, Charlie. I got it,’ said Roger.

‘See you in Marbella,’ said Charlie as he walked over to the Vauxhall, climbed into the passenger seat and lit up a cigarette.

Eddie turned back to Roger and Mike. ‘Guess I’m driving first then’.
