CHAPTER 15

Nico

“Idiot. You know better than to start throwing punches in a fucking police station. What the fuck were you doing there anyway?”

Ethan paces the floor of his office in the castle on Caraksay, glaring at me. I was summoned to the Savage headquarters immediately on my release from custody, but not before I spent two nights in police cells. I don’t know what technical strings Lynne Meadows and her bewigged colleagues managed to tug on to get me released, but here I am. And it’s fair to say my boss is less than delighted with me.

Molly, however, is still in custody and about to be moved to HMP Edinburgh having been refused bail on the grounds she’s a flight risk.

I rake my fingers through my hair. “I wasn’t keen on going in, but Molly was determined to help in the enquiry…”

Ethan emits another derisory curse.

“I know. I should have stopped her.”

“Too fucking right, you should. Or at the very least had the interview conducted on our turf. But, no. You have to walk in there…”

“Fuck. I know that now.”

“It’s not good for business when my inner circle gets banged up. Have you any idea what it cost me to get you out?”

“I’m sorry, boss. But what about Molly? She’s still in there.”

“Is she my problem?”

He’s not serious. Is he?

“Boss? She didn’t do anything.”

“I know that. Prisons are full of people who didn’t do anything. Your point is?”

“What about her children? They need her.”

“Where are they now?”

“Still at Caernbro Ghyll.”

“So, they’re safe. They can stay there while this is sorted out.”

“But—”

“Doesn’t she have family who could look after them?”

“Her mother, but she lives abroad. Ethan, we have to—”

“We all know it’s a stitch-up. The courts will see that, too, and she’ll be released. Eventually.”

“But that could take ages. And what if she isn’t? What if Norris somehow manages to make this stick?”

“Isn’t what? Innocent?”

“No. Released. Of course she’s fucking innocent. But that inspector’s on the take, that much was obvious. Glodowski must be paying him to fit her up. He’s good. It could go either way in court.”

“Molly may be innocent, but someone stole that painting,” Ethan reminds me. “It’s definitely gone.”

“Glodowski, it must be. He’ll have it stashed somewhere.”

My boss nods. We can all see how this is playing out. Glodowski has somehow pulled the strings from his exile in Warsaw to execute this heist and throw the blame on Molly. Revenge, maybe, or perhaps it’s still part of a ploy to get his hands on his son. The man is relentless, and it’s high time he was stopped permanently. I intend to see to that at the earliest opportunity, but first I need to convince Ethan to help me get Molly out of jail.

“I need Lynne Meadows,” I state. “She’s the best. If anyone can get these charges dropped, it’s her.”

Ethan fixes me with an icy glare. “I agree. She is the best. And the most expensive. That woman charges a hundred quid a comma. She doesn’t get out of bed for less than a thousand pounds an hour.
