CHAPTER FOURTEEN

A black Jaguar was parked on the edge of the park. The radio played brass military band tunes. Stuart Steed licked his thumb and forefinger and twirled his moustache. He used his drivers mirror to get the handlebar shape he preferred. In front of him, two men walked towards his car. Stuart climbed out and walked to the front of his car. He paused, took out his white handkerchief, and polished the chrome Jaguar that pounced from the hood of his car.

“SS, this is unlike you to change your plans. Should we be concerned?” Bradan said. Both Bradan and Shamus faced him but left a twenty-foot gap between them.

“Nothing that will concern you. One has more business to attend to,” Stuart said in his upper class British accent. He walked back to the trunk of his car and opened it. After checking the coast was clear he pulled out a black leather sports bag. He noticed a movement behind a shrub. He looked again and it was gone. Whatever it was, it stayed hidden. He nodded and smiled to himself before walking back to the front of his car.

“You have the money?” he stiffened.

“I have what we had at such short notice. The rest won’t be available until next week,” Bradan said.

Stuart Steed walked forward a few paces and gently dropped the bag on the grass. Shamus met him and passed him a brown paper bag full of cash before picking up the bag. Both men walked back to their previous positions slowly, each one not losing eye contact with the other.

“It appears you got sloppy Bradan. You and Shamus have been infiltrated,” Stuart Steed said.

“What are you talking about man? We have not. Our cover is safe and secure,” Shamus argued.

“You really are quite dumb. You were even followed here and as we speak we are being watched,” Stuart said.

Bradan and Shamus quickly looked around, not wanting to take their eyes off Stuart Steed and could see nothing. This area of the park was deserted apart from a few trees and shrubs.

“You’re getting old and paranoid. We’re alone,” Bradan said.

Stuart Steed smiled and shook his head from side to side. “Okay Jason, you can come out now.” Bradan and Shamus looked around. From behind a blackberry bush, Jason stood up.

“What the hell are you doing here, laddie? Get home,” Shamus barked and looked at Stuart, his eyes almost popping out of his head. He looked back at Stuart Steed. “How’d ya know his name?”

Jason stepped closer, his sapphire blue eyes opened wide, looking at his uncle in disbelief.

“Uncle Stuart? What are you doing here? What are…” Jason said. He paused, his mind trying to piece everything together.

“Uncle Stuart?” Shamus asked. He looked at Bradan and back at Jason.

“Get home? You mean he actually lives with you?” Stuart laughed. “Like I said you got sloppy. This is Jason Steed. He works undercover for SYUI and you have him in your home.”

“Steed? He’s called Jason Norris,” Bradan said. “He’s just a kid.
