Fifteen

He stood looking down at his father’s grave. The sun was still out but a wind had got up, whipping through the trees that provided shade in the small cemetery. Mount Beacon poked its head up above the treeline, like it was being nosy.

He heard a twig snap in the long grass.

‘You’re late,’ he said to his brother.

‘I was making sure people saw me.’

‘Is it done?’

‘It is. There’s just one problem.’

He turned to his brother. ‘I don’t like problems, you know that.’

‘Problems are just roadblocks. We just work our way around them. We meet the challenge head on and deal with it.’

‘It’s a pity about that fucker McInsh and his dog.’

‘Let’s not do anything silly. McInsh would hand you your arse on a plate. I can take of the others, but I’m not going to put myself at risk. There can’t be any collateral damage. This is going to be bad enough without any extras added into the mix.’

‘I understand that. It’s just a pity we couldn’t rope him into this.’

‘It would have been easier if he didn’t have an alibi,’ his brother said.

‘That would have taken a lot longer to plan, and time was against us.’ He turned to look back at his father’s grave. ‘But let’s focus on the job at hand. We have this weekend and that’s it. We’re not going to get a better opportunity, so let’s stick to the plan.’

‘Agreed. Those officers from the mainland could be a problem.’

‘No, they won’t be. It’s something we planned for. Do you think they would let that daft bastard Turnbull investigate? He couldn’t investigate the froth on the top of his pint. No, it was always going to be a detective in a murder case. We just need to keep putting them off the scent.’

‘Easier said than done.’

‘No, it’s not. We’ve gone over everything. Just stay level-headed and this will be over before we know it.’

His brother smiled. ‘I’m more than happy to take out that copper if he gets in my way.’

He looked at him. ‘Which one?’

‘Any of them. All of them. I don’t care.’

He put a hand on his brother’s shoulder. ‘Just listen to your older brother and we’ll be fine.’
