“We’ve found them!”

The call from Todd Hamilton came through to Farrar as he was entertaining guests, and he excused himself, finding a quiet spot in his study.

“Where are they?” He asked.

“It looks like a caravan park in Dorset. We intercepted a text sent to the Levine kid’s boyfriend and traced it back. She wasn’t using her normal phone.”

“Can you pin-point the caravan they’re in?” Farrar asked.

“We narrowed it down to a thirty metre radius, and slap-bang in the middle is one owned by Tom Gray’s solicitor.”

“I told you to check connections to all friends and acquaintances,” Farrar said angrily. “Why am I only hearing about this now?”

“It’s registered at the camp in his wife’s maiden name,” Hamilton said. “We just hadn’t dug that far.”

The phone went quiet for a while, and Hamilton took the opportunity to deflect some of the blame away from his team. “If we’d drilled down to relatives of friends, where does it end? Relatives of relatives of friends? Friends of relatives of friends? We’ve had our hands full just looking at known contacts.”

Farrar knew he had a point, but wasn’t about to let him off the hook so easily. “I want this finished tonight. Get in touch with Matt Baker and work up a plan.”

“Baker’s a liability,” Hamilton objected. “My team can handle this.”

“He gets the job done,” Farrar replied, hoping the insult registered. “It must look like an accident, you understand?”

“Got it.”

“Make no mistake, if you don’t end this in the next six hours, you certainly will ‘get it’!”

Farrar killed the connection and put the phone back in his trouser pocket. His watch told him it was just after eight in the evening, which meant it would be a few hours before the team were in place. Despite this, he wanted to end the dinner party early so that he could get to the office to listen in to the take-down over a secure connection.

After dishing up the meal he informed his guests that an emergency had come up at work and he would have to disappear shortly after dessert. They made consoling noises, not envious of the hours he kept.

Throughout the meal, Farrar wondered whether or not to tell Palmer about the find. There was no longer a need to get the information from Baines and Smart, but it would be satisfying to have them go through one of Palmer’s interrogations. Then again, Palmer was a valuable asset, and the men he would be going up against had proven themselves rather resourceful. It would be totally unprofessional to ask Palmer to take on these two as well as Gray when three bullets could solve the problem.

Actually, four bullets, he reminded himself. There was a fourth passenger on the ship, though he had no idea who the other might be. Whoever else was with Gray was obviously a fugitive, otherwise they wouldn’t be tagging along. That made them desperate and potentially dangerous.

Farrar decided that he would tell Palmer to simply kill the targets. However, he would wait until his team confirmed that Levine and Campbell were well and truly dead.
