âSorry sir, Iâve been a little busy,â replied Nolan. As he drove, he was holding one of the sanitary napkins against his side. It was bleeding as badly as his leg, but the last thing he needed was to pass out behind the wheel from blood loss.
âYes, son, we all saw.â
âYou saw?â
âI had the Canadians put a Zephyr up earlier. I tried to warn you about the welcoming committee, but your phone was off.â
âSorry about that, sir, but it tends to put a damper on things if the phone goes off at an inappropriate time.â
A new voice appeared over Nolanâs phone. âGood evening, Terrance. Very well done. So, what is the news about Lander?â
âWho exactly is this?â asked the agent.
âThis happens to be the deputy prime minister,â the man replied, a little miffed.
Nolan paused before answering. âIf you donât mind, sir, itâs Terry. My mother only ever called me Terrance when she was mad at me.â There was laughter in the room, which made the agent a little pissed off. What the hell is this, pizza and a movie night at MI5? âAs for Lander, heâs dead, the girl killed him.â
âOh, how unfortunate. I thought the purpose of this eveningâs little jaunt was to find out what Lander knew. Pity itâs been an abject failure.â
He was growing red in the face. Jaunt, fucking jaunt. Iâll give this asshole a fucking jaunt. Terry was about to explode when he heard Kâs voice.
âMaybe I should take this off speaker for a second.â
Terry waited thirty seconds, his blood still boiling. Then K was back on the phone.
âSorry about that, laddie.â
âYou can tell that pompous son of a bitch I said to shove his little jaunt up his miserable ass. Why the hell are all those people there? This was supposed to be off the radar.â
âThank you, Nolan, Iâll take that under advisement. As for why they are here, the prime minister wants them involved, so if you have an issue with that, I suggest you take it up with her. Now tell me, what happened?â
âYou know what happened, you were watching. It was a bloody set up. They were expecting me.â
âHow can you be sure they were expecting you? They could have just been lucky.â
âIâd usually agree, sir, apart from one little detail.â
âAnd what was that?â
âLander, sir. He knew my bloody name, my real name. No doubt, no question, he knew it was me the second he walked out of the house.â
âOh, hell!â
âYou can say that again, sir. We have a traitor in our midst.â
âCould the girl have warned them?â
âOne hundred percent no, sir. Those werenât fake bullets Lander was firing at her and she took him out like a champ.â
âShe trained?â
âI doubt that very much, sir. More luck than skill, Iâd say. Plus, she could have taken me out or had a weapon on me numerous times. Sorry, sir, but sheâs as solid as they come.â
âShe could be playing the long game. Weâve done the same. Hell, son, youâve done it in the past.
