Seventeen

Leo hurried out of the building, almost tripping down the entrance steps in his haste. The speed with which Atwood had found him was unsettling, which implied he was being followed, and even though he was several miles away from the MoD building, he didn’t want to wait around to see what the outcome of his conversation with Atwood was. He had no desire to unexpectedly bump into Debra. Two dressings down in one day was more than he was prepared to endure. There was a part of him that no longer cared what anyone thought, because soon it wouldn’t matter, but another part of his brain nagged that he shouldn’t burn his bridges yet in case his plan didn’t work. He might still need the job at the MoD.

He took a second to scan the street before he moved off. No one loitering. No parked vans. No one sitting in a car. Lots of windows. He began to walk.

He hadn’t asked if Mayra had been sent back to the flat, although he assumed she had. She’d be so pissed off with him if she was still there being questioned until her brain felt like a limp rag. He couldn’t face hearing her reaction to the whole process. He knew that she hadn’t done anything wrong, apart from saying ‘yes’ that first time he’d asked her out on a date, but the Ministry needed to make sure.

Too bad if Mayra didn’t like it and wanted to vent her anger. He had things he needed to do and not much time to do them. Casualties were to be expected.

First stop, now that he felt slightly less rusty with a gun, was the disruption site. It was time to test the brac — he couldn’t resist trying — because that would determine his next move. If it worked, he could be through the disruption in minutes — as long as he could disable the guards. He might not even have to if they let him through the tape.

His pulse began to quicken. Anticipation made his body feel like a coiled spring. It wasn’t good. If he turned up at the site all hyper and agitated, they might suspect something was wrong. Although, he had to accept that they might already have been told to report in if he turned up. Most of the guards knew him by sight, and even if they didn’t, he’d have to show his badge.

It was a risk, but he had to take it.

He slowed his pace, in order to try to slow his breathing. He could feel his breaths falter and sputter under the pressure of his concentration.

He arrived at the park and walked through the large, wrought iron gates on the north side. He needed to act confident, as if there was nothing wrong at all. He needed to exude authority. He needed to stay alert for any sign that they knew he was under suspicion. He tried to forget about the fact that the cameras that caught Mara’s arrival could catch his actions as well.
