tell you, love, it’s becoming the laundry capital of the world. And anyone with half a brain will cash in on it. I know Georgio was going to. Last time I spoke to him he was expanding his money business, the borrowing games, pennies and halfpennies. It’s the laundering that is the main winner now.’

Donna nodded as if she knew what he was talking about. The perfectly cooked salmon was beginning to curdle in her stomach.

‘Sometimes I wonder if there are any pies left for Georgio to push his greedy little fingers into.’ Her words came out calmer than she expected.

Jamesie carried on eating, unaware of Donna’s pallor. Alan hastily took over the conversation.

‘So what,do you think we’re looking at then, Jamesie? I’m rounding up the men - all handpicked, of course. But I need a good armoury. I was wondering if I could rent the guns, like - on a sale or return basis. I won’t have much need of Armalites, you know that, and I don’t much fancy selling them on. Can you imagine a blagger with an Armalite or a hand-grenade? It just don’t bear thinking about!’

Jamesie chuckled. ‘I’d already thought of that,’ he said. ‘I have a cachement coming in on the fifteenth of October. That’s four weeks away. I could sort you a few little bits from there.’

That’s a result anyway.’ Alan looked pleased. ‘How’s the dog breeding going these days?’

Donna was more than aware that Alan was changing the subject. , ‘Oh, the dogs are doing fine,’ Jamesie said, satisfaction in his voice. ‘I had another one of my boys won Crufts last year. I can’t lose with them. I must show you around the kennels, Donna, I know you’ll be impressed. My dogs get the works - central heating, the best food nothing is too good for them.’

She smiled, glad to be back on a subject she understood. ‘I’d love to see the kennels, thank you.’

She sipped her wine, wondering what the hell she was doing chatting about dogs, Crufts and Armalite rifles!
