The officers in the patrol car received the information that the Saab was stolen; the owner had reported the theft two nights ago. The beat officer had succeeded in taking the Saab’s registration number and had flagged down the patrol car, whose window he was now leaning against. “I thought it might be. They drove off fast soon as they saw me, heading back toward Tower Bridge, but they could have turned off anywhere. Lot of old warehouses round that area.”

The patrol car moved off. As the officer watched it disappear, he turned to continue his street patrol. An old, green-painted van passed him but he didn’t give it a second glance. Inside, Gloria was counting the money, licking her fingers to flick through the notes. “Ten grand! What a bleedin’ rip-off. I couldn’t believe the cheap bastard.”

“Well, we made up for it with the Saab.”

“Yeah, but that’s not the point. I hate being skinned. They got a lot for their dough, you know. They were worth at least thirty grand. I mean, two of the rifles would cost you seven big ones alone.”

Ester headed over Tower Bridge. “Well, I’ll split the money from the car with you. Dolly needn’t know.”

Gloria smirked. “You mean about it being nicked?”

“Yeah, we just divide the cash between us.”

“No way. She gets the lot because she’ll be on the blower to Tommy checking it out, you know her. And besides . . .”

“Besides what?”

Gloria stuffed the money up her skirt, wriggling it into her panties. “Somebody kept those shotguns—and you never know . . .”

“Never know what?”

“Maybe she’s got something in mind? I mean, she’s pulled a couple of blinders, hasn’t she? Way I see it, let’s keep her happy, see what’s going on in that old brain of hers.”

Ester laughed. “Why not? In the meantime, you keep that cash warm.”

“Better to be safe than sorry,” Gloria said, as the wad of notes eased round her panties. “They got bastards holding up motors in traffic jams to nick handbags now, you know. They push a gun into your face and nick your wallet. Shocking world nowadays.”
