CHAPTER FOUR

Pete felt nervous as soon as he opened his eyes the next morning. Lorne got up early to make him a full English breakfast to ‘set him up’ for the day, but he had problems convincing his stomach to keep it down. They ran through things one final time as Lorne attached the wire to the inside of his suit.

“I’ve got it, boss. Just keep listening. Maybe we should have a code word in case I get into any trouble?”

“Good idea. What about Gunner?”

“Sounds good to me. Right, I’m off.”

Lorne hugged him on the doorstep. “Stay safe, Chunky.”

“I will. See you when it’s all over.”

Pete hopped in his vehicle and drove through the heavy traffic to the Docklands area where the warehouse was situated. His nerves had increased during the journey through his fear of being late. He pulled into the car park with two minutes to spare and sprinted into the warehouse just as Tartt was about to address the men.

“Nice of you to join us, Pete.” Tartt glared at him.

“Traffic, sorry.”

Tartt held his hand up to silence him. “We all had to deal with the same this morning. Some of us even left earlier than normal, this being an important day etched on our calendars, know what I mean, Pete?”

“Yep, sorry.”

“Right, here’s the plan for the day. We’ll drop you guys off in the same location, sort of. Today you’ll be much closer to the jeweller’s. We’re gonna hit them at four this afternoon, as it will be getting darkish by then. So, we want you to be as close as you can get by that time, right? Bruiser and I will be in the van in the alley out back. You guys need to stampede the place together. I want Vinny and George to lock the doors and take care of the shutters. The rest of you I want to contain the staff. There should be four of them. Make sure they don’t press any emergency buzzers; if they do, kill them. We’ll be distributing the weapons before you leave. Everyone clear on what their role is?” The men listened to the plan in silence. “I can’t hear you?” Tartt snarled.

“Yes, boss,” the Santas shouted in unison. Pete was the first to be handed a weapon. “You fired a gun before, big man?” Bruiser asked.

“Course I have. Want me to prove it?”

Bruiser leaned in close. “I’ll be watching you, just to see how brave you are when the going gets tough.”

Pete shrugged. “Bring it on. I’m prepared to do anything just as long as I get my money.”

Bruiser seemed satisfied by his answer and carried on distributing the guns out to the rest of the men. Pete studied his Smith and Wesson revolver. The serial number had been scratched out on the side, obviously stolen. He was praying his wire hadn’t failed and the team were aware that the gang would all be armed.

Now that the gang were all armed, they made their way out to the van and loaded up.
