Agnes Cooney

Being a nurse meant being on your feet all day, every day, and nobody knew that better than Agnes Cooney. That meant that the few precious days she wasn't working, she liked to have a nice long lie in her bed and a good portion of the day sitting on her backside. Hiking all over the city looking for a new place to live, even in the company as pleasant as her best friend Gina, was not her idea of a good time. She could tell that Gina was feeling equally cheerful after they had been to see the third flat up three flights of tenement stairs. They had taken the morning to themselves and met at midday with the property agent. They had both had enough by dinnertime. Gina looked like she was ready to drop, and Agnes didn’t feel much better. The south side of Glasgow had been Agnes’ home for a good few years now while she worked in the children’s ward, and while she wouldn’t claim to know it like the back of her hand, she knew it well enough to find her way through the warrens of streets to find Westmoreland Street and the Clada Social Club, where they could sit down and have a quiet drink for the rest of the night without threats of dancing or more walking. A couple of drinks turned into a couple more and the night stretched on and on until midnight closing arrived and Agnes realised with a groan that she had to be up again in the morning for her shift. She gave Gina a hug goodbye and headed out the door to look for a taxi, waving her arms at traffic as she made her way along the street in the hope of one spotting her before she finally found the taxi rank. It didn’t take long for a campervan to swing up to the pavement beside her and for the passenger door to pop open. Angus gave Agnes a big smile, ‘You need a lift home, hen?’

In her addled state, she took his van for a taxi and his catcall as an invitation. He helped haul her up into the seat beside him and then he drove off. Before long she dozed off in the warmth and the gentle rocking. Angus had never had such easy pickings. He had barely driven fifty feet away from the door of the tenement in Glasgow where he had been staying recently before a fresh victim was proudly presenting itself on the side of the road. It was good timing. He had been itching to try something new ever since those daft wee girls from Edinburgh had turned out to be such a disappointment.

The drive out to Lanarkshire was almost completely peaceful. Angus found himself almost bubbling over with energy that had no outlet. Normally he would be smoothing things over, laying on lie after lie to keep the girl complacent, but tonight everything had just fallen into his lap.
