Sean took the bait, as Ray knew he would. He saw it in the boys seducing blue eyes. The change in colour to a pale grey was remarkable. It was almost inhuman.

Ray continued to taunt Sean. “It’s an achievement, what you’ve got at your age. You run your girls tight and I like that. Tried a few out myself too, their nice, clean, amenable, but at the end of the day they are whores. Don’t you want more than that?”

“Like what? George’s role? No thanks Mr Jarvis. I like it just the way I have it. But I must admit I don’t like giving him a cut of my hard earned.”

“There is a huge difference between being respected and being feared. Respect is easy Sean. You give a little, you get it back, it’s simple, it’s life. But fear is better. So we have a deal?”

“I didn’t say that. What’s in this for you? Why you just handing me over a turf you and him have been fighting over, for how long you say? Twenty years was it?”

Ray grinned. The boy sure was shrewd, he thought.

Kenny had been doing a good job. He saw what attracted him to Sean, because it was attracting Ray more by the second.

It took either a very stupid person to be that arrogant, or a complete nutter. Ray doubted that Sean was stupid, which meant he was more likely the latter.

That could become extremely useful. If Sean felt beholden to Ray, like he was to Kenny, then Ray could pretty much have him at his disposal, anytime he wanted.

Sean however was on the ball. Whether it was the instant rush he felt from the cocaine, or whether he really had been paying attention to Kenny’s elongated speeches, no one knew, but he could read what was running through Ray’s mind.

“I don’t have the patience or the inclination to take over more Sean. I’m past the craving for being king of the manor.

I just want my old enemy gone. He is nothing more than an irritating itch now. It would be more beneficial for you to take over. Young blood is what the green yards need.”

The stories of Ray Jarvis and George Anderson were almost as old as they were. Sean had heard them many times. Details changed and names were added or omitted but it was generally the same each time he heard it.

In 1982 Eddie Fraiser, one of the Anderson’s associates, was shot unintentionally, during a brawl at a nightclub in Norwich. The owners of the club, Bristol based businessmen, had asked Ray to protect the club, in exchange for gaming machines being placed there. At this time, club machine gambling was in its prime.

The Anderson’s, not impressed that a club in their jurisdiction was being racketed by an east end face, muscled in on the contract and took over with the protection including the ejection of undesirables; which, presumably, meant Ray and his associates. It is not clear why the club owners changed
