Diego

I only get to go running with her once before the weekend demands my return to my normal life-rhythm.

We’ve compromised for the last few days, somewhere between her early-riser-early-sleeper lifestyle and my never-go-to-bed-before-seven-in-the-morning-and-sleep-till-at-least-noon routine.

It’s worked out well. At least for me.

Kalina’s classes at school seem to vary widely in start time, and I suspect she’s also been skipping a few, but that’s none of my business. And she clearly studies really hard to make up for it. She’s set herself up a proper little work corner in the spare bedroom.

It’s nice to be with somebody as driven and as capable of self-occupation. There is no moaning when I need to go downstairs for work, no demands on my time when I’m busy. I’ve never had a proper girlfriend before, but even the casual floozies I’ve always had hanging off my arms were normally more needy than Kalina is.

For me, changing my working hours has meant I’m available to spend more time with Julian in the office, rather than in the club, which doesn’t really need me now that the fights are moving out.

We’ve had Arlo up in the hills all week, but there’s been nothing to report. He tails Callum whenever he leaves, but Callum never seems to go anywhere, other than to the petrol station. Cormac apparently never leaves. Julian went up there to give Arlo a few hours off at some point and to train a camera at their gate from Arlo’s hideout. So we’d know if Cormac went out, while Arlo is on Callum. But nothing.

If Julian thinks the effort I’m putting into this, just to avenge an alley cat, is insane, he hasn’t said so. Thing is, for me it would be enough even if it had been ‘just’ Nuts, but I’m pretty sure that Callum tortured other animals, too, long before he and Cormac apparently got into the dog fighting business. I know so.

Callum was that kid who caught flies and ripped half their legs and wings off to laugh at them as they were going around in circles, who drove a spade through earthworms to see the two halves wriggle, and who put his own hamster in the microwave to watch it explode.

One thing we know for almost sure, though, is that they aren’t doing dogfights up there at present. Julian flew a drone over the grounds, while Callum was out and Cormac was inside the house, and while that confirmed that there are a couple of dogs back up there, Cormac appears to have swapped the pitties for a couple of Dobermans. Guard dogs. I wonder what they’re guarding. And I wonder where the pit bulls went that Rowan spoke about.

I’m a patient man, and I’m happy to play the long game, but right now I feel the need to bury Callum forever burning like a physical need.

I tried for years, long before Callum ran over that poor boy, to find out where he was getting his money from, hoping I could get him into shit with the rozzers.
