Chapter Twelve
âI didnât expect to be back in Yorkshire so soon,â Lorenzo declared.
Liam frowned at him. âWhen were you in Yorkshire?â
Lorenzo realised his error and shifted in his seat. The SUV zoomed down the motorway and he tapped on the steering wheel nervously. âIâ¦wellâ¦I came out here for a drive,â he managed.
Liam snorted. âFor someone who runs a criminal gang, youâre a shit liar.â
They burst into laughter.
âItâs your lover, isnât it? Thatâs why you went off the other night?â Liam ventured.
Once again, Lorenzo warmed to Liam. It wasnât just that he treated his favourite nephew like a kingâhis decency and genuine care ran deep. Lorenzo didnât trust many people. He instinctively did with Liam. It didnât matter to him too much that Marco had blabbed to him. Although he would be reminding him that secrets meant just that. âFine. Have it your way,â he relented. âYes, I met my lover, and no, Iâm not going to share what went on.â
âI didnât ask you to,â Liam said, hurriedly.
âI can reveal a good time was had by all,â Lorenzo replied.
âI said I didnât ask you to.â
Lorenzo chuckled. Why did the young think they invented sex? He must seem like a dinosaur to Liam. The idea that he was actually sleeping with someone making him turn his nose up.
They were meeting Patrick Bowie at a reservoir on the outskirts of Huddersfield. Shola had arranged the rendezvous but wanted nothing more to do with it. By all accounts there was no love lost there.
The sat nav told him to come off the motorway and they soon found themselves on a small country road.
âWe need to have our wits about us,â Liam said. âHe and Jonny are close. Itâs not just going to be a case of offering him some cash and heâll do what we want.â
âEveryone has a price, Liam,â Lorenzo replied. âWhen that consignment comes in tonight, weâll be set up for months. Loyalty can become an expensive commodity if things are played right.â
They were at the reservoir. Two white Lexuses sat at the far edge of the car park. It was a weekday, so they had the place to themselves.
Gabriel and Federico had begged him to let them come. Lorenzo had refused. He wanted to demonstrate trust. He could see no benefit for Patrick in killing them.
He parked up next to the cars. âKeep alert,â he said to Liam. âStay in the car unless I call you. Get in my side. Just in case we need to get the fuck out of here.â
He climbed out of the SUV. A squat man in his sixties got out of one of the white cars. About six solid men in their forties and fifties followed suit. Perhaps Lorenzo had been a little too hasty in coming alone.
âPatrick Bowie?â he asked.
âThatâs me,â the man said.
âShall we walk and talk?â Lorenzo said.
Patrick nodded. He gestured to his men to stay where they were. âI see you brought Jonnyâs old lacky with you.â
âHeâs a decent lad,â Lorenzo countered. âNot a fool who puts all his stake on a lame horse.
