Martini was in Greenwood’s living room, waiting for her to finish a conversation with Prime Minister Pears and her secretary of defence. Greenwood wanted to know how the negotiations about the Irish referendum were going to play out and should British intelligence establish increased levels of surveillance. Loyalists were not going to be happy at the idea of leaving the United Kingdom and being governed from Dublin. He was beginning to realise the severity of what was going on in his father’s home country. He reading through the BBC News report on the body of a man found at an apartment in London. A man. Not Knight. Not a notorious member of the UDA’s North Belfast Brigade. A John Doe. The British government didn’t want people, especially those in the UDA, to know what had happened until Sloane was caught and more importantly the Iranians. Hojaji and Azrael, on behalf of the Quds, were willing to pay forty million to take POTUS out on British soil. Forty million was enough to cause the PM to lose a night sleep. POTUS, on the other hand, was more gung-ho with life; ex-US special forces, he’d returned to civvy street with a chest full of medals and still a young man. He’d quickly stepped into politics, realising that many of the problems America was facing were domestic and the country that he’d always felt so patriotic about was something he wanted to improve. Now at the highest level of government, he was in a position to make those changes, but still, he was a solider at heart and carried himself in a way that communicated that to people.

Confident and courageous.

Greenwood stepped into the living room. ‘Our lift’s on the way. Should be here any second.’ She snatched Martini’s attention away from his phone. ‘You look engrossed.’

‘Just the news.’ He locked the phone and set it down on the sofa next to him. ‘What did the PM say?’

‘She’s…she seems a bit off.’

‘What do you mean?’

She sat down on the chair facing him. She crossed her legs and looked at him, ‘I don’t know. She usually talks with a lot of conviction. But this thing with the referendum, she seems like she’s more on the fence, just going with the flow.’

‘To be remembered as the PM who re-united Northern Ireland with the republic can be good or bad depending on your perspective. Guess she’s looking at it in the wrong way.

‘I’ve contacted Harper Black. Asked her to track Sloane’s phone. She’s said he’s in Belfast. You know his neighbourhood?’

He nodded. ‘But I don’t think he’ll be there for any length of time. We can find out if he’s returned and if he’s not around, we can go knocking on the door of the other brigadiers. They might be able to help us find out where these Iranians are.’

‘Maybe you should stay here, and I’ll go to Belfast.’

‘You don’t know the streets over there like I do.’

The sound of a car horn beeping outside alerted them both that it was time to go.
