Chapter 10
I stared at the bar owner and old woman in shock for a moment, until I quickly pulled my head back behind the stage to look at the girls.
âBaxter and Betty,â I mouthed silently, and both Becka and Hae-won raised their eyebrows.
I had figured out Baxter was an asshole on our first meeting, after the way he yelled at Fareed, leered at Becka, and then made off with our wine offering.
Betty was unexpected, though, since she had seemed like such a nice old woman as she had led us to the Stinky Pete. It was such a shock that I wondered if they were even the ones behind the whole act.
âTheyâre just kids,â Betty said. âI donât understand all this hoo-haw over a few students, Baxter.â
âTheyâre not kids,â Baxter spat. âOne full of himself yank, and two bimbos, just stroll into my pub like they own the place. Think I can tolerate that?â
âI brought them,â Betty sighed. âAnd they even brought wine, which you downed rather quickly, I might add.â
âI might spare them if the blonde stays with me,â the pub owner said with a loud burp. âIâd like to feel that lush body next to me on the cold nights.â
I glanced at Becka, who scrunched up her face and mimed being sick.
âTheyâll leave soon enough,â Betty said hopefully. âMaybe if we return their things, theyâll stop poking around. The blonde one you fancy said she was on her way to find her Mum, so they wonât want to delay that for much longer.â
âShe wonât need a mum if sheâs got me taking care of her,â Baxter replied. âI could do a better job than that arsehole yank.â
I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore the pain in my neck from being crouched over. Baxter was not only gross, but clearly responsible for stealing our shit, trying to scare us off, and God knows what else he had gotten up to before we arrived. But I needed to stay hidden a while longer to get an idea of what his plan was.
âWe have so much,â Betty pleaded, and I wondered why she had teamed up with Baxter in the first place. âMore than anyone else does. Letâs just wait until they leave.â
âThing is,â Baxter chuckled. âIf we kill the fucking lot of them, we can have all their things. I liked the sound of those motorbikes you said they have, especially the pretty Chinese girlâs one.â
I glanced at Hae-won, who scowled as she muttered something in Korean.
âShe was Korean,â Betty corrected, and Baxter just laughed.
âWho gives a shit?â he said. âWonât matter when sheâs dead. I didnât fancy her as much as the blonde. But they both had a right gobby mouth on them, not sure I can be arsed with a slag who talks back so much.â
I almost dove out of our hiding spot just to silence the rancid pub owner, but Hae-won grabbed my wrist, and the two girls shook their heads urgently at me. I nodded in silent agreement, but they could tell my rage was building as Baxter spoke.
