Chapter 21

Warren dropped Jimbo off and then headed for the sanctuary of the ‘safe’ flat on Beverley Road. He was in need of some alone time, time to think without the fear of Conway bursting through the door at any time demanding to know what went wrong. He knew he would have to face him at some point soon, but not yet. He parked the Fiesta around the back of the hairdressers, climbed the metal staircase and punched in the combination lock number. Once in the flat he stripped off his muddy clothes, threw them into the washing machine and set it going. Wearing just his boxes and socks he went through to the kitchen and found the tequila bottle

The smell of chemicals from the hairdressers below invaded the place, Warren opened the window hoping the fresh air would take away the fumes. He sat in front of the gas fire. ‘Beggars can’t be choosers,’ he said out loud as he poured himself a measure. Sitting on the sofa in his underwear with the tequila in hand, he tried to piece things together. He just couldn’t fathom it, why was he set up to take the fall?

In the meantime he had a call to make using speed dial one.

‘Unfortunately we are unable to take your call, please call back during office hours.’

‘You are joking me?’ He yelled down the phone. ‘You’re supposed to be available twenty-four seven!’

‘Thank you for your call.’ End of – no option for leaving a message.

Warren couldn’t comprehend what he’d just heard. Answer phone? He dialled again – the same message. He thought perhaps there was some legitimate reason no one answered and dropped the phone beside him on the settee, thinking he’d give it fifteen minutes and try again.

The mobile began to ring. ‘Thank you Lord,’ he said as he picked it up expecting the call would be from Bill or John. He glanced down at the screen it wasn’t who he was expecting, it was Conway again – he cancelled the call. Picked up the television remote and switched on the television just in time for the local news.

‘The emergency services were called out to a fire on a boat moored at a private wharf near Blacktoft, in East Yorkshire. The Fire and Rescue Service managed to put out the fire, it is believed there were two fatal casualties. It has not been determined if the fire started accidentally at this stage. Further enquiries into the incident are ongoing.’
