CHAPTER 32

Several months passed without incident. An uneasy calm fell over those involved. The RUC. had questioned all relevant witnesses. Dave Simmons, Una Breen’s friend, was suspected briefly but was released without charge. Word was released to both factions that he was blameless and this was duly accepted. Clements had questioned informants from all Belfast districts and surrounding areas. A few suspects had been lifted or dragged from their homes but all proved to be completely innocent. Unfortunately some were beaten because people refused to accept their right to be different. The frustrations of Black’s hunters spilled over into violence against Belfast’s gay community.

Nathan Black was uninterested in the plight of these innocent victims. To him they deserved what they received. After all they were only Paddies. Eventually he decided the time was right for another mission. He had sifted through his database and chosen a family living in Sydenham, which was an affluent suburb of Belfast. The family was young; indeed the mother was only twenty-one years and due a birthday two weeks hence. Her husband Alex Foster was currently serving life for his part in a series of sectarian killings. They had three children, twin boys of two years and a three-year-old girl. Black had come to know Belfast well. It was the young couple’s address that had drawn his attention.

‘Perfect and so very convenient,’ he smirked. How does a fucking boy such as he afford a house in a suburb like this? Their fate was sealed.

‘Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Edna. Happy death day, to you,’ he cackled. As always he was meticulous with his preparations. Watching the house for a few days before the chosen date, considering all options before deciding his course of action. The dwelling was quite old and stood on a couple of acres of land. ‘Perfect,’ he purred, after viewing it for the first time. A two storey, Victorian detached home, bordered by towering hedges, which in turn were guarded by massive oaks on either side. No problems at all with this one, he decided. He watched as the family went about their daily routine. The young mother, except for her brood, was completely alone. On one occasion he had actually stopped the woman in the local park complimenting her on her beautiful brood. ‘I just adore twins,’ he informed Edna. ‘And so well behaved, you are a very lucky young lady. Bidding her good-bye, he doffed his hat, leaving the unsuspecting mother flattered and in a considerably better frame of mind. Not many men paid her attention nowadays. Too bloody scared, she mused whimsically. ‘God he was a handsome one eh kids?’ she laughed. The twins giggled up from the stroller affected by her mood.

Edna’s birthday drew nearer. It would be her second birthday alone and she was determined to enjoy herself. Her twenty-first had been a disaster, spent at her parents who told her what an idiot she was to have got mixed up with a no account.
