Chapter Fifteen

Jason drove towards The Donny, anger filling him until he reckoned it’d burst out and he’d mow down the next person who had a mind to step into the road in front of his car. It’d serve them right for chancing it, trying to get from one side to the other while he sped along, and he’d claim it was an accident: “They walked right out in front of me, nowt I could do to stop it.”

God, he needed to kill someone so badly. Since he’d offed Richie Prince, the urge to do it again had prodded at him, a constant poking finger, but he’d held the desire inside, imagining it instead each night in bed, eyes closed, guts and blood spilling from whoever he’d stabbed, his insane laughter so real he’d been brought up short to realise he’d actually been doing it, wetting himself, worrying Mam would come in from her room next door and ask him what he was playing at. “Waking me at two in the morning, lad, you daft get.”

Also, he was sick to the back teeth of acting, doing it Brenda’s way, and it had only been a relatively short while of taking her advice. He’d since made a firmer plan, one he’d see play out soon, and if Cassie didn’t make a move with regards to them seeing one another outside the job, he’d push a bit harder on that front.

He wanted the money, the notoriety, couldn’t get it fast enough.

Things had been going well, he’d admit that, although it pissed him off Brenda was right on that score. Cassie had confided a few things to him since he’d pulled back on being nosy—not about the business, more’s the pity—to do with Lenny and how she felt about him. Jason supposed that was something. She rarely opened up, so for him to be the one she shared her emotions with must count for something. Plus, Lenny had paired them together, so surely she realised Jason was the best one to shadow her. If Lenny had arranged it, it must be so.

“Your dad wanted us as a team,” he’d said. “And we’ll make a good one, the best. I’ll stick by your side and protect you. He knew I would, he told me as much.”

Bullshit, but whatever. Lenny wasn’t around to dispute Jason’s lies.

The night he’d got home after taking the safe from Richie’s flat, he’d gone on a bender with the white stuff once Mam was in bed. He’d sniffed it so far up his nose it had stung something rotten, his eyes watering. He’d livened right up, relived Richie’s murder in his head, but on the comedown, he’d remembered why he’d killed him instead of giving him another verbal warning.

‘I know you of old, remember, and you were a prick when we were kids, so why the hell should I do as you tell me since you’re still a prick now?’

Fucking little bastard.

Of course, the memories had come out to bug him
