Chapter 21

Len Jobson stopped for coffee at McDonalds at Abergele. He grabbed a cheeseburger and small fries and ate them in a few bites. He was hungrier than he thought. His mind was racing. There were things to do and not much time to do them. The clock was ticking and he was running out of time on this planet. He still had his strength although it wasn’t anything like what it used to be. His muscle wastage had been distressing. He could see it in the expressions of everyone he met. Shock, horror, surprise, sadness and pity. The pity was the worst. He had been a strong man with a powerful physique. For those that had known him, it was visibly shocking to see him so thin. It was one thing knowing someone was ill but another to see them wasting away before their eyes. It was more obvious for those he didn’t see regularly. His decline was more acute to those who remembered him in his heyday. In his prime, he would eat two steaks in one sitting and bench press his own bodyweight for eight sets. His strength had been God given. God gave it to him and God had taken it away. Fuck him. He’d given him a son and taken him too. There was nothing Len could do about that but the reality was that someone had snatched Leo away. Another human being or human beings had murdered Leo and his girlfriend and stuffed them into a barrel and dumped them in a pond, where they should have remained for the duration of time. Whoever was responsible for their murders would soon be acutely aware that their bodies had been discovered. They might panic. They might not. They might believe enough time had gone by for them to remain anonymous, hidden in the shadows of the past. There would be a ripple of fear running through them, no matter how cool, calm and collected they were. Hopefully, the ripple would turn to a tsunami of anxiety, wondering if they had left clues to their identity behind. Leo’s killers would not get the opportunity to live with the peace of mind that their victims would never be found. They had been found and now Len was going to find them and his retribution was going to be biblical. Len vowed he would bring vengeance for his son. He would sort that one before he bowed out for good. He had to act before the cancer sapped all his energy completely. He felt enthusiastic for the first time in a long time. It had taken five long years to get a sniff of what had happened to Leo. There had simply been nothing to go after but now he had a direction to go in. Better that that, he had a name. A name he knew well. Koresh.

A tap on the window made him jump. He nearly spilled his coffee. His right hand went to the switchblade he carried on his belt.
