I’ve Got This Friend

FrakeNews Headquarters – Present Day

‘We need to go,’ Boyd said, panicking. ‘We need to go now!’

He had watched his aunt talking to the Italian man behind the counter in the café and now she was sitting outside in a 4x4, seemingly going nowhere. His heart was beating out of his chest. He felt like he was being chased, even though she was out there and he was in here. Surely there was no way she could really know where he was.

She looked so different. On the black and white camera, Boyd could see her hair was light, like she had dyed it blonde and her clothes were so completely different to anything he had ever seen her wearing. This, along with everything else he had discovered in the last hour, just made him feel like his life was turning into some kind of nightmare. Maybe that was it, maybe he was still asleep in the van on Bloomfield beach and he would wake up to find that none of this was real.

‘Boyd, listen to me,’ Skye grabbed him by the shoulders, shaking him out of his daydream. ‘It’d take an army to get through the doors of this place and that’s even assuming anyone would know where to look.’

‘Think about everything I’ve told you. Now put that together with everything you’ve told me. Do you want to bet on these people not having an army?’ Boyd shrugged her off and started looking for his rucksack.

Skye tilted her head, then nodded. ‘That’s a fair point but you need to calm down and think this through.’

Boyd stopped and took a deep breath; he realised his fists were clenched so tight by his sides, his fingers were digging into his palms and his knuckles were pale white.

Skye pointed at the image of the Range Rover on the screen. ‘We’ve got a camera as flat as a two-pence piece set into the logo on the café sign. So, if they make a move, we’ll see it coming.’ She turned to look at Boyd. ‘They tracked you here, which means they’ve either been following you all along, they accessed CCTV or they hacked the email you sent. But, they aren’t sure where you are now - which means, she is sitting there, banking on you letting your emotions take over and deciding your best option is to run for it.’ Skye sat down at the screen and pulled up the other chair. ‘She knows you pretty well, I reckon.’

Boyd knew instantly that Skye was right; they were safer in here. He just had to come to terms with that feeling of not being able to control the situation;. he was going to have to wait it out. ‘So, presuming we get out of here, someday soon, what’s our next move?’ he asked.

‘A closer look at this guy, Bishop.’

‘The one who no one’s seen in two weeks?’

‘Right. We got into his bank accounts.’

Boyd’s eyes widened. ‘Illegally?’

‘No, Boyd, we asked his mum really nicely.’ She rolled her eyes.
