The three men were sitting at a table in the garden, under some trees. It was getting hotter by the minute on La Gomera, but the shade from the foliage kept the men cool, as did their long, iced juice drinks.

Hodge had calmed down considerably since his earlier outburst, having been coaxed and soothed by Smith in particular.

‘What we need to do now, Colin,’ Smith explained, ‘is start to ask you questions so that we can put a plan together. There’s lots of things we need to know about this money run. Routes, personnel - such as, who are the guys you usually do it with? What are their capabilities, their strengths, their weaknesses? Then there’s the technical side of things. What sort of vehicle do you use? What kind of boxes is the money carried in? Will they present any problems to us? How do we get them open? Do they spray dye? All those sorts of things. What do you wear? We’ll probably need to know the exact details of your uniform, headgear. What protection do you carry? How is your journey monitored? What is usual and what is unusual? Can you get away with stopping en route? How lax, or tight, are your procedures? Are the cops informed of your journey? What is your emergency drill?’ Smith shook his head. ‘Lots and lots of things. . . literally anything we can think of which will help pull this job off with the minimum of fuss and force. And, of course, anything you can tell us that we’ve missed. That’s what today is about - chatting to you. Getting to know you and you getting to know us. When we’ve done all that, found out everything we need, we’ll get back to Los Cristianos and you can have some more fun at our expense while we plan the job.’

‘I think I should be involved in that.’

‘You’re right, Colin, we will consult you, but in the end it has to be a plan we are happy with because we are the ones who need to get away - and the getaway is obviously part of it. So, yeah, you’re dead right ... but let me and Matt get our heads together first and then we’ll run it past you for your approval. How does that sound?’

Hodge nodded, believing his control was reappearing.

‘Just remember, Colin,’ Smith said, ‘you’ll be walking away with twenty-five million in your hands.’

A smile crept over Hodge’s greedy little face.

Smith and Crane stood up. Smith said, ‘We’ll be back in five minutes with a tape-recorder. We don’t want to miss anything.’

They left Hodge at the table.

Once out of earshot, Crane growled, ‘He gets nothing ‘cept for a bullet in the head.’
