Thursday Morning

Darlington

Brad locked the blue van and carefully looked around, making sure it was clear. He walked along the side of the building, rounded the corner then went to the front door. He was told to keep the van out of sight in case anyone noticed it. At the yellow double metal doors he used the key from his pocket to open it and went through, then locked it once he was inside.

He flicked the switch on the right-hand side. The wide hallway flooded with harsh bright light. He walked down the hall, his boots echoing off the hard wooden floor, until he reached a door on the right and opened it. The room where the two computers were.

He turned on the light, dropped into one of the seats at the desk and looked at how the votes were going so far.

‘Ooo, interesting,’ he whispered.

Sarah had fifty-six percent and Lisa had forty-four.

When he phone rang, he pulled it out. ‘Hello?’

‘How are things going there, Brad?’

‘Okay, Mitch. Gonna be close on votes I think.’

‘How they doing? They still alive?’

Brad concentrated on the screen.

‘They’re awake. Sat against the wall. Not saying much, though.’

‘You fed them yet?’

‘Just about to.’ Brad went back over to the chair and sat back down. ‘Hey, I was thinking…’

‘Yeah…’

‘We’ll be okay, won’t we?’

‘How do you mean?’ replied Mitch.

‘I mean about the van, you know. ‘Cos I messed up with the body parts. Think the police will trace us?’

Mitch didn’t answer him, which sent butterflies through Brad’s thick gut.

‘Mitch, I mean—’

‘They’re fake plates anyway, Brad. Don’t worry about it.’

Brad sat in thought for a moment, then said, ‘They can’t track us, can they?’ He pointed to the computer screens as if Mitch was there, knowing what he was referring to.

‘I’ve been doing computers all my life. There’s no way the site can be traced, never mind traced back to you or me. It doesn’t work like a normal website.’

‘How do you mean?’

‘You heard of the dark web?’

Brad frowned. He had heard of it, but that’s as far as his knowledge went. ‘Yeah?’

‘It’s like that.’

‘Okay…’

‘Don’t worry, big fella.’

Brad smiled. ‘Good. Just concerned for a moment there.’

Brad hadn’t known Mitch very long. They had first met a few months ago in The Green Dragon pub in the middle of the town. It was a Friday night, the place was busy with loud music, fancy disco lights, and a DJ who didn’t make much sense when he spoke but played some classic dance tunes when he finally put the mic down. Brad had gone for a smoke out the back. The place was busy, groups of men standing, laughing, and large groups of teenagers, smoking and cracking jokes to impress the people drinking with them. Brad was minding his business when Mitch came over, introduced himself, and asked him if he needed a job. Brad explained he had a job but asked what it was out of curiosity. When Mitch had explained he needed someone strong, he told him he was okay
