thats george mudd over there , said jennie , and i think beside him , in the trench coat , is peter brenner . whos the bloke with the wispy moustache and the gorgeous asian ? im pretty sure thats downers old co with his wife gema . well ill be damned , thats ohara over there and ill bet money thats jennings with him , whispered dave . the rest of the mourners were made up of some family , members from the golf course , ladies from the martial arts club and a military honor guard from the regiment complete with reversed arms and a bugler . harry downer was laid to rest in an old gloucester church yard , surrounded by friends old and new , to the sounds of the last post echoing off the ancient , moss covered walls . * it started to rain . ~ ~ ~ chapter 15 gemas cave . gema had been away for a couple of weeks and wasnt due back for another couple of days . things had got so bad between the two of them that he didnt even know where she was . the house seemed very empty to him what with wendy being at cambridge . she didnt seem to call home that often in fact she only seemed to call when gema was home . gema just hadnt been the same since the reunion , not that things had really been any good before . she would barely look at him never mind talk to him , just the essentials usually to do with running the house and wendys needs at school , always distant..as though she were somewhere else . dickie busied himself at work but wasnt as happy at the golf course as he had been before . the death of harry was weighing heavily on him , he had even made a recommendation to the committee that they re-design the fifth hole as nobody liked playing it any more . it was under consideration . the police had been to see him but he hadnt been able to add anything to what they already knew , however they were going to come back and talk to gema once she returned from wherever she was . her car pulled into the cobbled yard in front of the house . he didnt know if he was pleased to see her or not . the truth be known he was a bit nervous about seeing her . she seemed to grow stronger with time.more purposeful . she strode into the house without her customary hi darling im home , greeting . she came into the kitchen after hanging up her coat in the hallway . hi dickie , she said quite softly , i have a few things id like to talk about if you dont mind . ive had time to think a lot over the last couple of weeks and ive made some decisions that affect us both . she walked into the living room and sat on the couch pulling her feet under her . he followed her and sat in the chair by the fireplace looking into the empty grate . i think for years weve been living a sham of a life , she started , things came to a head when wendy went away and harry getting killed has caused us all to think a lot about life in general . dickie didnt even look up . he just continued to stare morosely into the empty fireplace . i know my job hasnt helped the situation so i am accepting part of the blameperhaps even most of it , she said trying to put a bit of a smile into her voice . we certainly tend to go our own ways . you have your job and i have mine . you go to the golf course , i go to the gym or the dojo . we do nothing together any more . dickie weve just grown apart , it happens . im not suggesting we split up , i am suggesting some changesproviding you agree..although wed have to completely re-visit the issue if you find you cant agree with my suggestion . she got up and walked over to the window overlooking the courtyard . im going to move into the barn.. at least it will put that flat to use at last . i think we should hire a housekeeper full time and i have someone in mind . she can take the spare bedroom with the ensuite and the room opposite as a sitting room . it would work out very well . she will look after the house , do the cooking and everything else . neither one of you will ever set foot into the flat , that is the only rule . i will continue to pay my share of the whole place and we can continue to get on with our lives , really not much different to what were doing now . if you want to go ahead and have an affair go right ahead..but not here..not in this house . if you decide you want to split up or this arrangement is no longer acceptable please let me know and i will leave immediately and stop paying the bills . dickie continued to stare into the fireplace .

things really havent been very good since you came back from borneo with wendy and theyve gone from bad to worse since the reunion , he said sadly , i just wanted us to be happy like that evening on the beach in kuching but i guess its not to be . we can try your arrangement for a while and see how it goes , people are bound to find out though . im not sure i really care , she replied , the army wives never accepted me and nearly all my female friends are either at the gym or the dojo . you dont know them and have never expressed an interest in them so what does it matter ? the police were here about harry , he said quietly , theyll be coming back , they want to talk to you too . me.why me ? she said seemingly alarmed . just routine i suppose . i think theyre talking to everyone that knew him , dickie offered , anyway theyll be in touch . the barn was on the other side of the cobbled yard , probably built in the nineteenth century , stone footings and wooden siding up to a new roof . the ground level , which used to be stables , had been converted into a three car garage and the old hayloft into an apartment . it was large with access from an outside stairway up the side of the building to a cantilevered landing that also served as a sundeck as it was facing south . inside a modern kitchen and bathroom with ten foot ceilings , the bedroom the same . they had installed quite recently a new furnace , hot water heater and a phone line separate to the main house . the open plan living area , which was huge , was open to the original beams in the roof with two large , slowly turning fans to push the heat down . two sides were primarily window looking out over farmland.it was a spectacular room . gema had added her own touch to it . she had imported teak flooring which cost more than the appliances in the kitchen . it glowed in the sunlight . she had furnished it with bamboo and camphorwood furniture imported from indonesia and had spread , on some of the floor and parts of the walls , those woven rugs famous in sarawak and borneo..the pua kumbu..the itak . in one corner she had built a shrine , a miniature temple , to semangather god . lying on the shrine the head of a baby orang utang , an amulet of human hair and a small pile of smooth pebbles , to one side the drum and stick carved from ironwood . it was the closest thing to home shed had since shed left home at the age of fifteen . it was her caveher sanctuary . ~ ~ ~ chapter 16 the museum the jangling of the phone brought her out of a deep sleep . shit..whos calling me at this stupid hour its my day off , she said to the empty room . she slid out of bed dressed just in a tee shirtshe rarely slept in anything elseand grabbed the phone before the call went to her answering machine . it better be good , i was asleep , she muttered . detective sergeant plowright ? yes , she replied , waking up suddenly . this is george mudd out at eaton bishop . sorry to get you out of bed but something has come up which you need to know about . can you get out here ? you might also want to bring your partner with you . be a couple of hours mr mudd . i have to shower and grab some breakfast . ill call inspector rowden now . hows lunchtime sound ? * my oh my just look at you , said david , youve got legs ! not sure ive seen you in a skirt before . oh shut up , said jennie . well you look very nice i must say , nice legs , we going somewhere special ? jennie had tried on several outfits and had settled on a black skirt , black sweater with a red blouse worn underneath , on her feet high heeled , red patent leather , shoes . not sure i can even walk in these bloody things , she said , thought id have a bit of a change , im always slumming around in slacks and flat shoes . yea right , said david grinning , so whats up ? dunno , she replied , i got this call at the crack of dawn said he wanted to see us both , sounded a bit bothered actually , ready to go ? driving out to eaton bishop they discussed the case in hand . were actually no further ahead than we were before , said david , we have some circumstantial stuff against tony wei but other than thatnothing , a total dead end . i have another meeting in london next week perhaps something will come of that . its bloody exasperating ! pulling in through the wrought iron gates the house came into sight . i see what you mean , said david , place must have cost a bloody fortune . his financials all came up legit though , hes just done very , very well for himself . parking in front of the georgian portico the front door opened and the two labs came tearing out both wearing red scarves followed by george mudd . hello there sergeant , please come in .

you must be david rowden , pleased to meet you . they shook hands each noting the grip of the other . george seemed very subdued as he showed them into the drawing room . mrs. iredale has made some lunch . i think were fine for the time being , said jennie . ill come straight to it then , said george , as i told the sergeant , i played golf regularly with harry downer and also with peter brenner . peter was another member of our team in the regiment , he retired up north and became assistant pro at a golf course in north leeds . i called him yesterday to invite him down for a while , we were all very close in the old days . he didnt answer the phone , it was an inspector with the west yorkshire police , he told me peter had been killed ! the room was silent , each lost in their own thoughts . david was the first to speak , how did he die , did they say anything ? well they wouldnt talk to me would they , replied george , other than they suspected foul play . thats the trouble with the systems in this country , said jennie , theres no central information data base . the different jurisdictions work on their own . wed have found out eventually but it would have taken forever . david just sat there , looking thoughtful , gazing out of the window watching a mare with a late foal grazing in the paddock . mind if i use your phone , its a london call ? go right ahead inspector , said george . david dialed the building on gower st. and was connected to the commander . rowden here sir , he said , this is not a secure phone , watching george out of the corner of his eye he saw his eyebrows go up and then his face go impassive . he explained the situation to the commander and requested all the information be acquired from the west yorks and forwarded to the office in hereford . perhaps i owe you an explanation , he said turning towards george . george just shrugged , up to you . ill give you the bare bones then , said david . im major rowden of 1st para . im part of the counter terrorist squad currently working out of hereford . we had our eyes on a character in london who youve actually played golf with . tony wei that cheating bastard , said george . you remember him then ? said david laughing , the problem is he seems to be tied in to other members of your old troop in sarawak . david then recounted the facts , as they had them , concerning ohara , jennings and avi coupled with the fact that he could place wei at both belmont lodge and in leeds . its all circumstantial stuff just now , we need a break . harry downer and peter brenner were two of my best friends , said george quietly , id like to be involved in this somehow in an unofficial capacity of course . you know thats not possible , replied david quickly , this is a security services affair now its not even in the hands of local police . just remember were all bound by the official secrets act but the fact that its developing into an anti-terrorist issue allows us a little license not normally allowed regular police forces . lets have some lunch , said george , mrs. iredale makes the most incredible steak and kidney pie and theres always far too much . jennie noted that his manner seemed a lot lighter now as though getting some information had allowed him to make a decision . over lunch david and george swapped stories concerning their military histories . they seemed to have a lot of mutual friends and acquaintances . theyd both been in malaya and borneo and seen jungle action . they hit it off as old soldiers usually do . after lunch standing out by the paddock watching the horses , i knew i shouldnt have worn these shoes , said jennie , i can hardly stand in the damn things anyway . you look very nice in them sergeant , said georgeand seemed to mean it . if youre complementing me on my shoes youd better stop calling me sergeant , she said , smiling , jennie will do just fine . jennie it is then , he said , call me george . back in the study sipping on coffees brought in by mrs. iredale . you never called me with harrys cause of death jennie , he said eyebrows up . she looked at daviddavid said , harry was poisoned . the coroner says he was decapitated post mortem but im not so sure whys that ? traces of antiarin were found in his bloodstream . antiarin toxicaria , whispered george , amazement in his voice . he stared at the floor a couple of moments , let me show you something , follow me he walked out of the room and down a long corridor . this used to lead to the old servants quarters . i converted them to guest rooms .

he stopped at a solid looking door and keyed a code into an electronic pad to one side of the door . it opens the door and de-activates the alarms including the pressure sensitive pads under the flooring , he said almost apologetically , i call it the museum ! both jennie and david gasped as they walked in . the room was windowless and quite large about twenty five long by fifteen wide . the walls are actually steel lined and there are separate humidity and temperature controls in here , said george . the lighting was subdued except for the individual spotlights highlighting certain items on the walls . the center of the room was occupied by a low , green , baize covered table with two comfortable easy chairs off to one side . on the right an extremely neat , well organized work bench with tools hanging on the wall behind . the flooring was cherry with axeminster runners in front of each display . the wall down one side was covered in shields , blade weapons , bows , blowpipes and small bamboo quivers , interspersed with bright , multi colored mats and blankets . the opposite wall was covered with modern weapons . david recognized an fln , an l7al the general purpose machine gun used by the sas , a bren gun and an armalite16 . all the automatic weapons have been de-activated , said george , in case you were thinking . the rest are functional but the ammo is locked up separately , he said , nodding at a safe standing in the corner . i also have several handguns but theyre in the safe too . it might not surprise you to know that i have a license to carry as a result of the business im in , however thats not why i brought you in here , he said , walking over to the other wall , this why youre in here . he reached up and took a five foot blowpipe off the wall . sipet , he said , the blowpipe used by head-hunters in borneo . walking over to the safe he knelt and dialed the combination . reaching in he drew out a short bamboo tube . telep , the quiver the tribesmen used to carry their darts . carefully removing the cover off one end of the quiver he removed a dart . ipuh , he said , nodding at the black substance covering the needle sharp point of the dart , the poison used by head-hunters and made from a tree indigenous to borneo..antiarus toxicarius , the poison youre telling me was found in harrys bloodstream . they just stood there looking at each other and back to the dart being gingerly held by george the only sound the hissing of the air replenishment system . george replaced the dart in the quiver and returned it to the safe . theyre locked up because that stuff is still deadly , he said . no one really knows what the shelf life is only that as long as the sugar content is not boiled off the poison is fatal . cooking it up is passed down from generation to generation . apparently its the sugar that causes it to be absorbed by the bloodstream . good for years so ive been told . without the sugar content the effects are purely temporary . the tribes would use it without the sugar to bring down small animals and prevent the poison getting into the meat , has a sort of stunning effect so ive been told . david had walked over to the wall and was looking at the machete type blades on the wall . i see there are different types here , some are quite distinctive , he said thoughtfully . yes theyre mandau or parang latok the machete in common use in indonesia and that part of the world , replied george . this particular one , reaching up to take one off the wall , is a parang ilang commonly used by a headhunting tribe called the kayan in central borneo what is now kalimantan . feel the balance of this thing , he said , handing it to david . careful its bloody sharp too . you could take someones head off with this thing quite easily , said david thoughtfully , looking at jennie . you chaps and your weapons , said jennie , im just fascinated by these mats and blankets , the colors are so vibrant . theyre also kayan , said george , the women are famous for it ..and their basket weaving , he said nodding at several hanging on the wall . later , once again sitting in the study , all that stuff in your museum makes you a prime suspect , said david laughing , cant be too much of it lying around . actually its not too hard to get , said george , the actual weapons that is and if you know how to prepare the latex they get from that tree , the poison wouldnt be too hard to make either . as it happens ive got perfectly good alibis for both periods of time but i suppose you should check up if youre going to do your jobs thoroughly . * interesting sort of bloke . i like him but then again we have a lot in common . he fancies you for sure , jen .

they were driving back to hereford both seemingly lost in their thoughts . he keeps a lot in , said jennie , he lost his wife and now hes lost two of his closest friends but he doesnt show too much emotion . hes either a cold fish , which i doubt somehow , or its just bottled up inside him . none of this is coincidence , said david , its all inter-connected . we just have to unravel it somehow . as soon as were back in the station we must talk to west yorks and get involved in the peter brenner thing . one thing i know for sure , jennie , before we get to the whodunnit were going to have to figure out the whydunnit . ~ ~ ~ chapter 17 dancing . dick mason sat in his study deep in thought . hed just put the phone down on george mudd whod told him about peter brenner . george had sounded concerned , both harry and peter being murdered and the police seemed to be getting nowhere . it had come to light that peter had the same toxin in his blood as had harry and that there was no other evidence of any sort of trauma whatsoever . obviously george had a source of inside information . the concern was the obvious link to indonesia and their pasts in the jungles of borneo . george had little idea as to what was going on but had voiced his intention of being a little more aware of what was going on around him . he was sufficiently concerned to tell dick that he was going to call robbie in brunei and fill him in . he thought , half of mudds sarawak team is dead no wonder hes getting a bit itchy . his thoughts turned to gema . he hardly ever saw her any more . he knew she was around as he would see her car and the lights on in the barn but she seemed to travel even more than she had before and for longer periods . his new housekeeper , paid for by gema , came into the room to stoke up the fire and check if he wanted anything . he still wasnt used to having her around but it saved having to do his own cooking and bringing in a cleaner . after all its not costing me anything so why should i bother ? he stood up , stretched , walked over to the window and looked across the courtyard to the barn . gemas jag was parked out front and a yellow light shone from one of the windows . he could see she had lit a fire as the light was flickering as the logs caught hold . what does she do in there on her own ? gema sat , cross legged , in front of the shrine to semangat , the fire light shining off her totally naked body . she sat with her arms out in front of her , palms facing up towards the shadowy beams of the barn roof . she called on the souls of her forbears to enter her body . she incanted her submission to the two divine powers , the sky and the water , depicted on the war shield on the wall , by the hornbill and the infernal snakeher personal kliau . she was swaying to the beat of an unheard drum , the ketebung , beaten by an unseen ironwood drumstick carved by paan from one of the posts of the longhouse where her parents had been murdered so many years before . she stood up , the firelight reflected off her glistening body . she began the exercises of the silat , that demanding martial discipline learnt from her father . as she moved around the teak floor her movement became less sensual , less feminine . the beat quickened . her movements were now the movements of the ngajat , the warriors dance , the dance after battle . the beat quickened even more and with it her movements became more and more aggressive . her face was almost trancelike as she moved around her personal soah . coming to a halt , breasts heaving , she assumed the position of singalang burong the rhinoceros hornbill the national bird of sarawak..the god of war of the iban . finally she knelt on the prayer mat , that had been paans gift , facing the shrine . hear me my father . i learnt at your feet . you spoke to me of many things and i have not forgotten . the sweat poured off her naked body and stained the mat where she knelt . dick watched the shadowy shape rhythmically slide in front of the window lit solely by the firelight . what the hell is she doing , he thought , exercises ? but it looks as though she doesnt have any clothes on . * london on the phone for you dave , said jennie , handing him the receiver , i think its your commander , she said teasing him . switch to scrambler please major , asked the voice . im going to drive up to hereford , dave . we can have a bit of a chat and swap information .

save you the trouble of coming up to london and i could do with a bit of a break , anywhere decent to stay ? ill get you a room at the green dragon sir.when are you coming down ? said david . tomorrow if thats not inconvenient , replied the commander , ill call you from the hotel . the following day the commander and david agreed to meet at the bath street police station rather than the dragon . the commander confirmed that security services had taken over the murder investigation of peter brenner in the interests of national security as the commander put it . they gave me a hell of an argument , he said laughing , but i think it was all a front . i think they were happy to get rid of it . forensic services confirmed the cause of death and that it might well have been administered through a poison dart . if thats the case that makes two although brenner was not decapitated , having said that he was found on the golf course but on the driving range this time . does this mean we have a serial killer on our hands ? could well be the case , replied david , but i think it goes a lot further than that . theres this solid connection between the dead guys and an old sas team that operated in sarawak . two of the team are still alive plus their old co. george mudd lives close by and dick mason lives right here in hereford . david then proceeded to describe in detail their interview of george mudd at his home and went on to describe the museum and its rather startling contents . which brings us to two issues i want to discuss with you commander , said david seriously . this sounds ominous , said the commander smiling . my partner here , detective sergeant plowright , is almost as involved in this as i am . the problem is she is not associated with security services and we have taken this whole mess over . it would be a shame to cut her out of the picture , shes a good copper with a lot of local knowledge . id like to keep her involved . i dont see why that would be a problem dave . ill talk to her boss and the chief constable if i have to . dont see why i couldnt get her temporarily transferred . the others not so easy but before we get into it why dont we bring plowright in then we dont have to repeat ourselves and you can meet her . after the proper introductions and an explanation of what was going to happen and why , david continued with the other . i see a problem going forward with this and jennie.. just jump in if you have anything to add . the problem might well be george mudd ! lets take a look at where hes at . two close friends of his have been murdered recently . they spent years together along with the guy in brunei robbie mcelroy . together they saw a lot of action in the jungle . this forms a bond that , unless youve actually been there , is very difficult to understand . he is tough and obviously very focused . he owns a security business with branches both here in england and in the far east . he also has access to information due to his very close ties with both the sas and the parachute regiment . for christs sake , when you think about it , he employs just about the equivalent of an entire sas squadron ! pretty scary now i think about it . im concerned he might bring his considerable assets to bear and take the law into his own hands . im inclined to agree with you , said jennie , its not just the two friends but he lost his wife not so long ago . hes very quiet about it all . hes got it all bottled up inside of him , he might think he has little to lose . the commander got up and paced the small room . the way i see it we have two options . one.we warn him off but he might not take the blindest bit of notice the way you describe him . two..we bring him on board as a consultant but on the understanding that he can never be a shooter and has no formal rights as do you two . i think we should go with the latter , said david , and im sure jennie agrees . hes not the type you can just warn off . hed be very polite and then do whatever the hell he wants . i actually think he could be very useful , added jennie , he has intimate knowledge of all the players including the two we havent mentioned yet and he can go places barred to us . you might well be right , said the commander leave it to me to sort . when were done here , set up a meeting with mudd and lets see if we cant get this thing moving along . we still have the surveillance on tony wei , ohara , jennings and avi but im getting flak about the expense of it . not to worry though im convinced theres something heavy in the wind . jennings and ohara havent met yet and im not sure well have the time to set up complete audio surveillance but well do our best .

tony wei seems to be acting quite normally and were pretty confident he hasnt brought any more illegals into the country recently , so were pretty much at a standstill . tons of circumstantial evidence but nothing we can really move on ... ... theyre up to something very naughty i just know it . having missed her customary two days off jennie was taking the day off . shed slept in and was reading the morning paper curled up on the couch still wearing just her tee shirt . she reached for the phone as it rang . do you shoot ? asked the deep voice . i wondered if you ever did any shooting . i periodically drive down to bristol , to a gun club down there . i shoot a bit of trap or skeet then go on the hand gun range . sort of keep my eye in i suppose . georgei wondered who the hell it was . at least you didnt get me out of bed this time , a smile in her voice . im qualified in semi automatic pistol and shotgun . sounds like fun , what should i wear ? just come as you are jennie its just a gun club . im just wearing a tee shirt , she said laughing . no underwear even ? he asked joining in her laughter , sounds good to me . want me to pick you up ? no its ok , george , ill drive down to eaton bishop . its not far and its on the way . ok see you then , he said sounding happy , and dont wear those red shoes ! he was waiting outside when she arrived . you have to make me a promise today , he said smiling . no business today . ok but only after one question , she said . have you spoken to either david or his boss today or late yesterday ? good thats all i need to know . ~ ~ ~ chapter 18 the old vanguard hes on the move , the watcher keying his mike , hes heading north on the m5 driving a really old , light blue , vanguard , looks like a collectors car to me , you cant miss it , license plate oub 123 . jennings thought to himself , time i gave the old girl a bit of a run , market draytons not too far and theres no hurry . half a dozen cars behind the watcher keyed his mike again . hes going too slow , hell spot me if i stay here . suggest you put a car on the a51 exit for sure hes heading for the meet . he pulled the silver audi out into the center lane and accelerated by the old classic car without giving it a look . frank took his time , rarely going over sixty miles per hour . he exited on the a51 then turned south on the a53 towards the picturesque old market town , the old car giving him no trouble . the ancient hotel was easy to find except some of the streets were ridiculously narrow . he parked close by and walked the rest of the way taking in the elizabethan beamed buildings and cobbled streets . although he was a little early he found paddy in the snug wrapped around a guinness . want the same frank ? lord no paddy , pint of bitter will do just fine . dont know how you drink that stuff , he replied . in the palethorpes truck parked behind the pub the technician was able to barely hear their voices over the background hubbub of the busy pub . he turned towards the smartly dressed man standing behind him . its difficult to hear just now sir but ill be able to filter out all the background noise later and you shouldnt have any problems . the gentleman smiled grimly and nodded his head . paddy and frank had taken a small table in a corner . why dont we have something to eat then go for a bit of a drive ? said paddy , we can talk in the car , as long as im back at tern hill by 2300 hours ill be ok. you going to stay the night here ? did you make a reservation ? yes , paddy me old friend , im going to stay over and drive back in the morning . i dont usually open up the shop much before ten anyway . damn and blast , said the gentleman in the truck , were going to lose them with a ton of work completely down the toilet . commanders going to be seriously pissed . after dinner frank and paddy picked up paddys car and drove down the a529 towards woodseaves . they pulled into the parking lot of a busy local pub . paddy lit a smoke . ok frank..whats up..whats all this about ? a dirty blue vauxhall drove by the pub heading down the a529 . theyve pulled into a parking lot , not getting out of the car , looks like theyre settling down for a chat . theyre smarter than we think . ive got a very specific order for guns , said frank , for some reason they have to be military with british army stamps on them , that makes it an armory job . youve got to be kidding , said paddy , how the hell are we supposed to do that without getting nicked ?

ive no fuckin idea , replied frank sighing , all i know is that theyre prepared to pay a shitload of money for em so its worth thinking about . paddy flicked the cigarette butt out of the window . how many do they want frank and what are they ? as far as i know paddy they only want four pieces plus ammo of course , the heckler and koch mp-5ka4 and the l86a1 , two of each . thats some serious fire power there frank , said paddy , not too difficult to get them off the base . the trick is to get them out without them figuring out who took em . have to think about it a bit . my end is at least twenty grand for the four plus any expenses of course . thats what i figured , said frank , im going to tell em thirty , twenty for you and ten for me , going to need a timeline too . let me think about it then , said paddy , theres always a way as long as we have some time to plan it properly . lets get back into town , weve still time for another pint . * the commander most certainly was pissed . jesus christ we follow them all over gods half acre , then they meet and we still dont know what theyre up to . the chinaman is living on the straight and narrow and weve got two ex soldiers in their bloody graves , he stopped to take a breath , sorry im on a rant dave im just running out of patience with the whole bloody thing . not much else we can do really sir , said david , other than continuing the surveillance . we just have to react to their actions . pain in the arse but what else can we do ? youre quite right of course , replied the commander , how did it go with george mudd ? he was fine with it sir , said david , luckily hes military so i really didnt have to explain anything . i still think he might go off on his own a bit . im tempted to give him a bit of rope and see where he goes with it . hmmmm , said the commander thoughtfully , thats actually a pretty good idea . hes got tons of contacts all over the place and will probably go places we cant . if the shit hits the fan later we can always plead ignorance and fall back onto our consultant understanding . make sure he gets all the information . the commander rang off leaving david to his thoughts . ~ ~ ~ chapter 19 the shooter inviting jennie down to bristol had been a spur of the moment thing for george but she sure looked good in the car . it was a bright clear day , for a change , without any rain in the forecastalthough you can never be sure . for the first time in over a month hed rolled his pride and joy out of the garage , a british racing green sixty six healey . hed spent a stupid amount of money having it restored . now it looked better than it had originally , it was worth it just to listen to the exhaust . he gently powered the car through a roundabout , without hardly lifting his foot off the accelerator , listening to the snarl left in their wake . he glanced over at jennie . she had a slight smile on her face , her short auburn hair blowing in the wind . shed dressed for the day , tan cords , a barbour jacket , green scarf round her neck complementing her coloring and sensible brogues on her feet . he smiled at the memory of the red shoes . he shouted over the wind , i can put the top up if you like . dont you dare , she shouted back , i love it . he pointed the car towards gloucester simply enjoying the driving of the car and being close to this woman in the passenger seat . outside gloucester he picked up the m5 in the direction of bristol . normally it took about an hour and a half from door to door but today he was in no hurry . pulling into the parking lot of the gun club he was able to find a spot close to the clubhouse . they sat for a couple of minutes listening to the tick of the engine as it cooled down ... in the background the banging of shotguns and the occasional boom from the full bore range . double checking the trunk was locked he walked with jennie into the lobby . first thing we have to do is get you registered . theres a waiver to sign for insurance purposes . youll have to show some form of identification he said almost apologetically . i would think my warrant card should be enough dont you ? she said laughingly . once the formalities were out of the way george suggested he show her around a bit . the club was definitely upscale . several trap fields , including an international , two skeet ranges , a sporting clay , big bore range up to three hundred yards and an indoor handgun range . youve got everything here , commented jennie . actually were very lucky , replied george as they walked through the lounge . i didnt tell you but im on the board here so i kind of know what goes on .

were close enough to the main highways to make it convenient yet far enough away for the noise bylaws to be a non-issue . we also bought the land to either side of the club and behind the full bore range . that was a safety issue but also a damned good investment . anyway enough of all that guided tour stuff.have you shot trap before ? no never , she said , im qualified on shotgun but , as im sure you know considering your background , we use the remington 870 pump in a close quarters environment . im sure this is different . it is but youll get the hang of it pretty quick i think , he replied as they walked back out the car . he opened up the trunk , not too much room in here , he said laughing , but enough for this stuff . i brought you some kit youre going to need . he passed her some ear protection and shooting glasses . im pretty sure thesell fit you . i also brought you a shotgun which should fit you too . he reached into the trunk and brought out a leather case . this is a purdey custom . there are actually four barrels for it but i suggest you just shoot twenty gauge for the time being and see how you do . what a beautiful gun , she said . yes i had it custom engraved , its a real work of art . they walked back to the clubhouse and leaving the shotguns on the rack by the door went to the range desk . ive actually booked a trap range for a couple of hours . normally five shooters use it and rotate from station to station but we have it on our own . at first she couldnt hit a thing but she slowly got the hang of it . after a couple of hours she was hitting ten or twelve out of the round of twenty five . george was hitting his customary twenty to twenty two . my shoulder aches a bit , she said sitting in the lounge sipping on her double double . not really surprising , said george , if we ever come back we should get you a shooting jacket that has a recoil pad in the shoulder , makes life a lot more comfortable . what do you mean if we come back , i definitely want to come back.thats if you want to bring me , she said quietly . the wind has brought your freckles out , he murmured , and well definitely come back . you ready to hit the handgun range ? they walked back to the car . after putting the shotguns away he took out two locked steel cases . i took the liberty of bringing a couple of pieces down with me . i already knew you were qualified . they walked over to the indoor range and checked in with the range officer . behind the shooting line george unlocked the two cases . i know you guys qualify with browning high power , he said , we had to too in the sas but i brought my weapon of choice , i think youll prefer it over the browning , i brought both though . its a sig sauer p225 . its a bit lighter and certainly fits your hand better . anyway try it out and see . they shot for about an hour pretty much having the range to themselves except for the range officer . it was obvious that jennie was not a beginner . hey.youre a hell of a shot jennie and you scored a bit better with the sig , said george once theyd locked away the guns and were walking back to the clubhouse , how about a bite to eat ? over soup and a sandwich they discussed the progress , or rather the lack of it , in the double murder case jennie and david were involved in . remember im a consultant now , said george laughing , so consult ! did david tell you about the abortive surveillance we had on your two old friends jennings and ohara ? no he didnt but your commander filled me in . he sounded as though he was getting a little pissed , replied george with his mouth full i can help a bit in this area though . remember i employ better than sixty chaps who are all either ex sas or paras . thats almost the equivalent of a full sas squadron . most of them are still here in england . perhaps , more importantly , i have excellent contacts in many regiments ; in the main fellas that have been rtud , returned to unit jen , after their tour in the sas came to an end . to cut a long story short i have eyes on sergeant ohara ! the commander is keeping tabs on tony wei , jennings and the other guy up in leeds . jennie looked a little peeved . dont blame david jen . dave was going to bring you up to speed but i kidnapped you down here before he had the chance . glad i did too , he added smiling at her frown . they drove home with the top up as it had cooled off considerably , neither one stopped talking all the way back to eaton bishop . it was as if each one was hungry for information on the other , where they went to school , georges army stories , mutual friends .

too soon the healey turned up the laneway to the old manor . mrs. iredale had turned on the lights as it was almost dark . coming in for a coffee , jen ? mrs. iredale had lit a fire in the drawing room and had drawn the drapes . it was a comfortable room the corners lit by the flickering fire . kick your shoes off..make yourself at home , said george . they sat , in companionable silence , watching the fire burn down . theyd talked about music , books..the two labs lying off to one side periodically opening their eyes as though checking the fire . george got up and placed another log on the fire , it erupted in a shower of sparks and flame . you know george weve talked about lots of things but youve never once mentioned your wife , harry downer or peter brenner . probably a bit presumptuous of me to bring it up i know so if you dont want to talk about thats fine too . george gazed into the fire . its okay , jen , he said quietly , and youre right its stuff i dont talk about and im sure thats a mistake , he picked up the poker and gave a log a poke . one of the dogs rolled over with a grunt , legs straight up in the air , enjoying the heat . judy was killed only a couple of miles from here . its five years ago now.hit and runthe driver was never caught . all my life id lived a hard life being a professional soldier . all my life id pushed myself to extremes..probably why i joined the sas . judy was the first soft thing in my life , if you know what i mean . she was feminine , full of light and laughter but at the same time she could be a real tomboy . she loved to go to the rugby matches , loved the dogs , ran every dayshe was pregnant ! he paused , memories flooding into his mind . the problem is..its as though shes there all the timelooking over my shoulder . the only reason i kept this house was because i knew it would be what she would want..i should probably get rid of it .too damn big anyway . as for harry and peterthats different . there are , or rather there were , four of us , those two , myself and robbie mcelroy . rob works for me although thats not strictly true either , i gave him a small interest in the business some time ago , hes in brunei , runs the security business out there . the four of us fought together for a number of years in malaya and borneo although i first met robbie in northern ireland.after all that i still cant believe harry and peter are gone , he whispered his voice and face hardening . i spoke to rob yesterday.really to warn him.although of what im not sure . there must be some sort of connection with the past considering the way they were both killed . rob wanted to come home and get involved , i talked him out of it though . the two of them sat there gazing into the fire now burning down . i never cried you know , said george looking at her . perhaps you will some time , she said , perhaps you will . as she drove away half of her wished hed asked her to stay the night ... ... the other half ? well maybe that half wished hed asked her too ! ~ ~ ~ chapter 20 the irish george was out in the field , behind the house , working the dogs with the help of mrs. iredales husband . they were both competitive field trial dogs and he shot over them regularly . his mobile vibrated in his pocket . its jimmy orourke . oharas on the move . im on the fleetwood ferry heading over to larne . hes either going to be picked up or hell take a bus . george promptly called david and brought him up to speed who in turn alerted the teams on the other three . he called the dogs in , got out of his boots and went into the study . pulling his directory up on his laptop he dialed a number in belfast . jimmy orourkes on the job for me , he said , the odds are good hes going to end up in belfast today . get hold of him on his mobilehe might need a hand . you can call in anyone you need , this has to do with downer and brenner , i dont care how much it costs.just intel for now though ! he then called jennie . oharas on the move jen , ive brought everyone up to speed , nothing to do just now but wait , looks like he might be heading for belfast . hope he does ive got a good network there , remember i was in northern ireland for quite a while . maybe were going to get some sort of break , she said , its hard just waiting for something to happen . by the way what do you know about dick masons wife gema ?

jennie already knew from dick mason that gema had been in hereford the night downer was killed and away on business when brenner was killed . what about robbie mcelroy ? im told youre quite friendly with him and that you have in fact seen him recently in sarawak . yes but whats that got to do with anything ? jennie was surprised , gema suddenly seemed defensive almost combative . probably nothing really , she answered , just that mcelroy was part of the original group and two of them are dead now . food for thought wouldnt you think ? i cant figure her out , she said later over a pint in the dragon . she sat opposite david and george in an alcove in the snug . its not that shes inscrutable , so to speak , its more that she never says anything . she answers any specific questions but never volunteers anythingcertainly no casual chitchat . for some reason she didnt want me anywhere near the house and when i mentioned rob mcelroy i thought she was going to have a fit . maybe it would be a good idea for you to have a chat with mcelroy , he seems to know her better than anyone , said david , and in the meantime im going to have another chat with mr. mason . i need to talk to robbie anyway , why dont you come over to the house tomorrow ? suggested george , itll have to be very early because of the time difference . id have to talk to him first anyway otherwise he wouldnt tell you a thing . she woke in the morning not quite sure where she was for a moment . the sun was slanting in through the tall , mullioned windows and bouncing off the large dressing mirror like a kaleidoscope . she stretched and luxuriated in the comfortable bed under the goose down comforter . she remembered david leaving the pub and george suggesting they go back to eaton bishop that night rather than her drive out first thing in the morning . sounded like a good , pragmatic step except she couldnt remember what time they eventually fell asleep . what had started out slow and gentle ended up rough but a good rough . she thought about clean underwear and a toothbrush and then decided she didnt really give a damn . the click of the door opening made her pull the comforter up to her chin . only me , he said , as he stepped into the room , i thought you said you always wore a tee shirt to bed , he said smiling at her . not quite always , she said , but its been a long time since i havent . he was wearing old track suit bottoms , a tee shirt with 1st para printed on the front and technical looking runners on his feet . i run most mornings you know..anywhere from ten to twenty miles.sometimes with a bergen on my back . i forgot to tell you that bit , he said laughing , usually pretty early too . as long as you dont try to get me to join you , she said throwing back the comforter , three miles ok maybe even five but not that far . what i need is a shower ! got a spare toothbrush ? she walked into the breakfast room while george was feeding the dogs . mrs. iredale was in there setting the table with the breakfast things . she started to blush heavily with embarrassment and turned back towards the door . miss jennie , the older lady said , i know youre probably feeling embarrassed but you dont have to worry about anything at all . its as though mr. george has come back to life and is mr. george again so you just sit yourself down and ill bring the tea . breakfast just seemed to be companionable , as though theyd known each other for years , the radio on bbc 1 , mrs. iredale bustling around like an old hen humming to herself . mr. iredale came in to briefly discuss the days work . seems a shame to break up this scene of domestic bliss but im going to call robbie now , lets go in the study . george picked up his tea and walked out of the room . by now the study was a familiar , friendly place . they sat either side of the large partners desk in front of the window looking out over the paddock . im going to put him on speaker phone jen and turn on the scrambler . our government is a lot more invasive than they would like you to believe , he said smiling , at times , the less they know the better . the connection went through as though robbie were just around the corner , robbies strong scottish burr coming through the speaker . george advised robbie that he had company but that rob was at liberty to say whatever he liked . they talked for a while about the brunei business and their involvement with brunei shell . i have something else happening here too , said robbie , theyre doing more exploration down south of here close to the border . the company seems to be concerned about terrorist incursions but more the possibility of kidnap . were being asked to provide security down there .

right now theyre in the process of getting clearance from the sultanate for us to run armed patrols . shouldnt be a problem though , after all theyre all in this together ! be just like the old days patrolling the bush . okay robbie , george cut in , i want you to talk to jennie here , answer all her questions please . shes part of the investigatory team concerning harry and peter . tell me what you know about gema mason , robbie asked jennie . do you want the short or the long of it jennie ? questioned robbie . i think more the stuff you would assume i dont know , replied jen , i already have the basicsi think anyway . shes a throwback , started robbie , her grandfather was a head-hunter if you can believe that . it still goes on you know , admittedly in a small way but the traditional iban living in the jungle still believe in the spirit world . gema is a traditionalist . she was brought up in a jungle longhouse and never even saw a white guy until she was fifteen . underneath that veneer of civilization is a kayan native.like i said a traditionalist . shes smart and shes tough . she was over here with her daughter not so long ago you know . she got very friendly with one of my guys here , paan . hes penan , one of the most warlike tribes in borneo , he guided her into her old home you know . think she was on a bit of a quest . you know her entire family was murdered back in sixty five , the whole village wiped out . never did figure out who did it..bit of a mystery that.except the indos tried to blame the brits . even took it to the un . waste of bloody time that . when she visited i helped her out a bit . provided some of the equipment and choppered her out when shed done . yep shes tough alrightstill very much at home in the jungle . i know paan has sent her stuff from time to time . just traditional blankets and prayer matsstuff like that . robbie thats a great help and youre right most of that stuff i certainly didnt know , answered jennie , it helps to sort of paint a picture of peopledevelop a bit of a profile . george continued his conversation for another few minutes , most of it business . robbie , i know i mentioned this before , but now i want to stress . there seems to be some sort of connection with harry , peter and the rest of the old team . ohara and jennings seem to be involved somehow , somewhere , but we havent figured that part out yet . i guess what im saying iswatch your back ! shit manits watched , said robbie laughing his deep laugh , that bloody paan , hes like a rash . cant get rid of him , all he says is , got your six boss , hed go to the latrine with me if he thought he could get away with it . silly little bugger , he added affectionately . * george sat on the oak bench in the old church yard . the sun was still warm although you could tell it was autumn already..a little chill later in the day , the sun a little lower in the sky . looking around he marveled at how time seemed to stand still in this place . the church behind him , st. michaels and all angels , built in the eleventh century and still here . the east window , installed in 1320 and removed during the war for safekeeping , gravestones so old you could barely read the inscriptions . he was not a particularly religious man although he had heard there were no atheists in the trenches a hundred times , rather he admired the constancy of it all , the peace it could bring , the space and the quiet to commune . he sat on the bench , elbows on his knees , deep in thought . he had bought the bench some years prior and came to sit several times a month . in front of him a simple white marble headstone with the inscription judith allyson mclelland- mudd 1950-1980 . the base of the headstone was a riot of color although starting to fade now with the waning year . soon hed have to come with his trowel and secateurs and clean it up for the winter . he wished it would snow this winter , it always seems quieter and more peaceful under a blanket of snow . he sat up straight as though hed just made a decision . judyits time for me to move on now . you were my life and i know youre still there but ive met someone who , for the first time in five years , has brought back the light in my life . you would like her and she would like you . there are no secretsshe knows all about you and now you know about her . later i will bring her to visitif she wants to of course .

he then told her all about harry and peter as though it were some sort of catharsis for him . they were two of my closest friends . we trusted each other implicitly and often placed our lives in each others hands . i promise to find out what happened as they would for me , i know you understand . he stood up and nodded as though a weight had been lifted off his chest . the church looked on as benevolent as ever , it would still be there after theyd all gone . he turned his back on the white , marble stone and strode through the lych gate as erect as ever perhaps more purposeful than before but at peace with himself and with what he had to do . ~ ~ ~ part 3 * chapter 22 christmas is coming at about the same time many of the old churches in the district were being built , so was st. marys in what used to be drayton in hales in the diocese of lichfield . in 1245 king henry the third granted a charter to the church to hold a weekly market just off the church property . the village that slowly developed around this market became known as market drayton . the wednesday market is still held to this day . paddy ohara followed the young tour guide around the old norman church noting the additions and changes that reflected the current age ; the ramp to the north aisle , the new servery and kitchens , the lack of an alarm system , the simple locks . the guide continued : in the early twentieth century lay people got more and more involved in the life of the church . the raising of money for the ongoing renovations , the youth club and the many charities st. marys is involved in is now managed by the church wardens . our most successful charity is the collection of christmas gifts for the needy . we collect from all over the diocese , store and sort them here and then distribute them to local children who would otherwise have very little at christmas . paddy had heard what he needed to hear , had seen what he needed to see . he walked out of the church and round to the parking lot at the back , noting the proximity to the kitchen doors and the exit to the road . st. marys not being in the center of town was a distinct advantage . later he called frank jennings . it can be doneexpensive but possibleall a matter of timing . from a different call box he dialed a number in belfast . its a go ! essential you arrive on wednesday the eleventh of december , thats market day and you wont be noticed . the game will be played friday the thirteenth , vehicles not a problem , he rang off . * it was crisp that morning with the type of blue sky that heralds a really cold snap . the labs chased each other through the cover and reveled in rolling in the light dusting of snow . they were dressed for the outing , boots , parkas , thick winter gloves . george was carrying a chain saw , jennie a small handsaw . its years since i chopped down a christmas tree . fact is i havent done it since judy died . he was casting his eyes around looking for a suitable victim . if we put it in the hallway by the front entrance we could go to twenty feet or so , said jennie . yabbut you can haul the darn thing back jen , he said laughing , if you want one that big ill go back and get the tractor and well tow it back . he stopped , put down the chain saw and pulled her close to him . im looking forward to this christmas . im tired of just going to the golf club , thisll be like the old days , a tree , christmas decorations , a turkey , christmas music and friendslife is good.thank you . he looked into her eyes and kissed her on the end of the nose . remind me to pick up a couple of kids gifts . i have to drop them off at the barracks . they have this friendly competition with some of the other bases in the region as to who can collect the most gifts . they cut down a tree that was , of course , far too big , got the tractor and towed it to the front door . after cutting off several feet from the base , trimming the lower branches and with the help of mr. iredale they eventually got it into the front hallway and up on its stand . it just fit..but only just ! the three of them , david , george and jennie sat around davids desk in the station waiting for the connection for the conference call with the commander in london . they were no further along with the two murders . tony wei had had conversations with avi in leeds but the only item they had been able to glean was that their business would be concluded before christmas . doesnt help us too much if we dont know what that business is , said the commander . george reported on ohara . he was in an anglican church the other day . no idea why , his army records show hes catholic .

st. marys is in market drayton , after that he just went back to clive barracks . id like to come back to downer and brenner , said jennie , are we sure were talking about the same killer in both cases ? thats an educated guess on our part , replied the commander , the cause of death is so unusual as to make it a good bet but of course its all circumstantial still . are we sure its a man ? both george and david seemed to think so based on the strength it would have taken to take down both men experienced in hand to hand fightingone an expert . i hear what youre saying , said jennie , but whos to say its not a woman ? * jennie pushed the doorbell again . she could hear it ringing stridently inside the house . nice looking place , obviously an old farmhouse with the barn behind her on the other side of the cobbled yard . it looked as though it had been converted into a garage with the triple overhead doors and maybe a flat over the top looking at the steps going up the side of the old building . it was getting bloody cold as the year headed towards christmas and standing around on somebodys front step was not her idea of pleasure . suddenly the door opened , a middle aged lady stood there . she asked , sorry i took so long to get to the door but i was down in the cellar and only just heard the bell ringing . jennie showed her warrant card and introduced herself and asked for either dick or gema mason . im sorry neither one is home just now perhaps youd like to leave a message . asked jennie hoping she sounded chatty and friendly . im mrs. trenholme , im mr. masons housekeeper . well then perhaps you can help me out a little , may i come in ? she took a step forward making it difficult for mrs. trenholme to say no . youd better come into the kitchen miss , i was just about to make a pot of tea anyway , said the older lady turning away down the corridor towards the back of the house . jennie thought a change of tactics might do the trick with this lady . its not miss by the way its detective sergeant , she said striding into the kitchen and sitting down at the table . when will the masons be back ? i really couldnt say , replied mrs. trenholme . couldnt or wouldnt thought jennie , things just didnt seem quite right here but she couldnt put a finger on it . put it down to female intuition she thought . maybe if i scare her a bit shell open up . mrs. trenholme im in the middle of an investigation into two murders . im not suggesting that your employers are involved..in fact far from it but i do need background information . mr. and mrs. mason knew both the deceased . the middle aged lady put two mugs on the table and sat down looking at the kettle as though willing it to boil and give her something to do . mr. mason is over at the golf club , belmont lodge , i doubt if theyre playing , its very cold but he goes over there quite often for lunch and a game of snooker . what about mrs. mason ? asked jennie , mrs. trenholme looked embarrassed and adjusted her pinafore worn over skirt and blouse . it was mrs. mason that gave me the job , she said quietly . i come in every day , keep house and cook for mr. mason when its required . ive never seen mrs. mason in this house , said trenholme , she lives in the flat over the barn . she seems to be away a lot . ive never even seen the two of them talking , they seem to be estranged . so youve no idea where she is or when shes coming back ? questioned jennie . no miss.we never do . if her cars there , she drives a green jaguar , we know shes home . anything else you think i should know ? asked jen , dont worry its all quite confidentialreally just between you and i , she waited . there is one strange thing , replied mrs. trenholme , when i started here she told me that i was never to go into the flat . she was quite emphatic about it . on top of that ive never seen mr. mason over there either , its as though its off limits . mrs. mason spends a lot of time with the daughter.wendy but even when she comes to visit she doesnt stay in the house , she stays in the flat with her mother . * i love this room , she said , i love this house and youre not too bad yourself either , she added laughing . she was sitting on the carpet leaning back on the couch one of the labs lying with her head in her lap the other quietly snoring in front of the roaring fire .

so , george , whos coming over for xmas ? george , lying stretched out on the couch , stroking the back of her neck affectionately answered , not absolutely sure yet . im still waiting to hear from robbie . id like him to come and its quite a while since he was in england . i know dickie is coming and probably wendy if she comes down from cambridge but dick wasnt sure about gema for some reason . im pretty sure david will come and he might bring a lady friend from london and , of course , there will be mr. and mrs. iredale . so that makes nine..eight for sure i think . good enough crowd for dinner . what excuse did dick make for gema ? asked jennie playing with the dogs ear . just said that he didnt think shed be able to make it replied george . theyre estranged , said jennie and continued to tell george about her entire conversation with mrs. trenholme . doesnt surprise me , said george , what i am surprised about is that it lasted as long as it did . shes an enigma , said jen as though talking to herself , ive only met her the once . its as though she doesnt quite know where she belongs . she lives her own life , seems to dote on her daughter , obviously has her own source of income.but strange . ~ ~ ~ chapter 23 charity and the church wednesday was market day , had been for over seven hundred years . paddy knew this from the tour guide , not that he really gave a shit . what he did know was that the town center , around the buttercross , was inundated with people attending the market from outside the town . looking around he could see that it was not like the summer . nowhere near as many produce stalls , which was hardly surprising , still plenty of people though , braving the cold and manning stalls of all types . enough people into which six extra could easily disappear . theyd been instructed to travel by different routes although they all originated in and around belfast . they were all staying in different hotels and bed and breakfasts , all within walking distance of the center of town . paddy strolled through the market but could not make them out . he knew they were there but that they had been instructed to remain unobtrusive . each one knew his job and they wouldnt be coming together until the friday . he did two complete tours of the market periodically stopping to say hello and chat to people who were , in fact , suppliers to the base . as quartermaster sergeant he had a lot of contact with local suppliers . later that afternoon back in his office , in one of the large service buildings , looking out through a window he could see the five , large laundry hampers on loan from one of the local dairies . these were loaned annually to st. marys church for the collection of christmas toys . they were almost full already . theyd received toys from bradbury lines , copthorne barracks and mod donnington plus their own collection here at clive . the collections had been done a little earlier this year . much of the garrison was already on extended christmas leave and one entire company was down on the brecon beacons training with 22 sas . this left the base very thinly manned , a few of the raf personnel as clive was also home to a helicopter training squadron . the administrative levels of the irish rangers were all doubled up to allow extended leaves and there was a small guard on dutynot that there was too much to guard after all . even paddy had double duty over the holiday not only being responsible for the quartermaster stores but also the armory . paddy glanced at the full laundry hampers and decided it was time . using the office phone he called the church in town , spoke to one of the wardens and suggested he send the church truck to pick up the five hampers of toys but not before 1800 hours as the docks would be occupied until then . at 1700 hours the two clerks in the office plus the warehouse staff went off duty . they would not be replaced until the following morning . ensuring that everyone had left the building he took half the toys out of one hamper and stacked them into the other four . using the keys , entrusted to him , he accessed the armory through the steel door leading down to the well lit basement . unlocking the security chains he took the four automatic weapons and buried them underneath the toys in the fifth hamper . using another key he accessed the ammunition storage facility and took approximately five thousand rounds over the two calibers . he buried these also topping up the cart with toys from the other four . locking the doors behind him he went back to his office to wait for the truck .

he was relying on two assumptions that would culminate in either twenty years in jail or his ability to retire a year earlier than planned ; firstly that the armory would not be accessed until the training company returned from the beacons . secondly that by the time the truck got back to the church it would be so late that no one would touch the toys until the following day . not a bad bet he thought to himself . at about 1815 hours a large white truck with st. marys church emblazoned across the sides , driven by an elderly gentleman , backed into the loading bay . paddy opened the electric overhead doors and offered to give the old gentleman a hand loading the hampers . the old man gave him his hand , extended the churchs thanks to everyone that had contributed and to paddys help specifically for coordinating the annual charitable effort on behalf of the local bases . with a merry xmas he climbed back into the cab and drove away . the guard in the guardhouse at the main entrance waved him through and wished him a merry xmas also . paddy stood in the warehouse door : how ironic , he thought , a church of england truck hauling stolen guns out of one of her majestys military bases.have to see the funny side of it . * were an item ! david and jennie were sitting in the dragon enjoying a pint after a day of paperwork . she was responding to a question from david concerning george mudd . thought so , said david , he fancied you right from the get go you know , you could see that . i hear youre coming over for christmas dinner , she said , bringing someone so ive been told , she said questioningly but with laughter in her voice . yes and old friend from london.pauline . weve been seeing each other for a long time now . we wont be staying over or anything like that , that would be a bit embarrassing for her but shell be in hereford over the new year , should be fun . george says therell be eight or nine of us but he didnt know about gema mason , said jennie . funny you should mention her , i saw dick mason the other day , just bumped into him , he looked like crap , replied david . i asked him about gema he just mumbled something about not even knowing where she was or when she would be home . the whole situation seems to be tearing him apart . if its that bad why dont they just split up , period ? jennie though about it for a moment or two , you know i wonder if she feels she has a reason to stay in hereford because , without good reason , why would anyone persist in such a strange living arrangement ? * it was bloody cold . frank jennings sat in his black van behind st. marys church . he couldnt run the engine in case it was noticed..never mind the noise . he was far enough away from the main road as to be almost invisible providing a police car didnt patrol through here . he was waiting for 0400 hours , that hour when most people are truly asleep and people who should be awake are half asleep . on the hour he pulled on his gloves and removed the bulbs from the lights in the interior of the van . he opened both back doors and left the drivers side door ajar in case he had to get out of there in a hurry . on his rubber soles he silently approached the door to the kitchen at the back of the church . based on the intel provided by ohara he slid a credit card down the crack between the door jamb and the lock and was rewarded by a satisfying click as the door quietly opened for him , he stepped into the church . inside it wasnt much warmer than it had been in the truck , he could almost see his breath in the light cast by the shaded flashlight . he held the flashlight down and made a mental note of the location of the windows , he didnt want to inadvertently advertise his presence . he could see he was in a kitchen area , the room bordered by long white counters . the room looked new and was obviously part of a recent addition . there were two doors , fifty , fifty chance he thought and took the one on the left . it was even cooler in here than in the kitchen . he had a feeling of space and risked shining the light a little off the floor . he was in the nave , the moonlight trying to pierce the shadows through the old stained glass windows , rows of pews stretching to the opposite aisle like windrows in a hay field . a sudden fluttering of wings high up in the arched roof nearly made his heart stop . a pigeon locked in for the night after the evening service . slowly his eyes became accustomed to the gloom . saints looking down on him from niches in the walls , up past the transept the chancel could just be seen through the ornate carved screen . he had the feeling that the church was watching him . paddy had told him that it had been here since norman times , he thought that through its life it had seen much worse than frank jennings but it nevertheless made him feel uncomfortable .

theres no way theyre out here , he thought , so much for my fifty , fifty chance . he retraced his steps back into the kitchen and tried the other door . this looked more like it , the servery as paddy had described . rows of tables and chairs set up for informal gatherings and for feeding the needy . over on one side a large aisle had been created specifically to park the five large laundry hampers loaded with toys . shining the flashlight on each of the carts he could easily see the one that paddy had identified . he quickly unloaded the toys to reveal the guns and ammunition below and started to transfer everything to his van parked outside . the weapons themselves didnt take long at all and werent particularly heavy . the ammunition was different though . five thousand rounds took him over a dozen trips to the truck . by the time he was finished hed built up a sweat and was mouthing obscenities aimed at paddy ohara . once finished he carefully re- distributed the toys amongst the five carts and , making sure the door locked behind him , quietly drove away . he left no sign that anyone had even been in the church that night . turning the van south , humming quietly to himself , careful to stay within the speed limit , he headed towards london , tony wei and a good payday . ~ ~ ~ chapter 24 surgical the barracks had something of a pastoral air about them , lots of green space , red brick buildings..playing fields.the old control tower . it had originally been a ww2 air force base but was now home to an raf helicopter training squadron plus the barracks themselves were occupied by a small battalion of the irish regiment attached to a fast attack force . the property itself was divided by the a41 , a busy highway connecting to the m56 up north by chester and the m6 to points south , although thats not the way it was originally designed . the family accommodation area and service centers were a short walk from the service buildings on the other side of the highway . they comprised of married quarters , a couple of low , dormitory buildings , a convenience store , kiddies day service and playground , a caf and petrol station.all closed for the night . the barracks themselves were a mixture of red brick buildings and modern warehouses , including an administrative building , quartermasters stores warehouse , offices , three story dormitory buildings and a gym . at this time of the year , being almost christmas , the base was almost deserted . an irish company was still training down in herefordshire with the 22 sas and most of the remaining personnel were on extended christmas leave . on duty was a small guard force plus raf maintenance personnel . it was scheduled to stay this way until after the new year . paddy ohara , as one of the senior ncos on base , had his own bachelor apartment in the family accommodation area about a fifteen minute walk from his office.a neat little apartment in a co-op type building . tonight he couldnt sleep . he lay in bed repeatedly looking at the clock on the bedside table willing the hands to turn . there was still plenty of time to go . through the bedroom window there was no blush of daylight . it was still pitch black outside with good cloud cover making it even darker , dawn was still three hours away at this time of year . the camp guard wouldnt change until 0600 hours the replacements not even showing up at the guardhouse until 0530 . the clock said 0400 hours.half an hour to go . everybody should be in position by now . the previous evening , just after the pubs had closed , a dark colored van rolled down the a41 . a quarter mile short of the base , within sight of the yellow lights of the guardhouse at the main gate of the base , the van pulled over onto the shoulder . the driver got out , rummaged in the back of the van for his tools and proceeded to change his left front wheel . checking that the road was clear in both directions he tapped twice on the side of the van . two men climbed out of the back and , without a word , disappeared in the direction of the playing field off to one side . within ten feet they were virtually invisible . they were both dressed entirely in black their heads and faces covered in black balaclavas . both were carrying back packs and uzi sub machine guns strapped across their chests . they made it across the playing field unseen by anyoneit was so dark they couldve just casually walked acrossand took up position by the decorative hedge bordering the empty parking lot about fifty yards in front of the quartermasters stores . they settled in for a wait of about five hours . paddy looked at the clock yet again , the hands had hardly moved . by now the other two teams should be in place . two men should be in front of the main gate on the other side of the road having infiltrated their way across the old aerodrome to the north , the other two sitting in their van three miles down the road , tucked in through a farmers gate and invisible to any vehicle passing through the night .

all six waited with the patience of the well trained . at 0425 the two men in the van pulled out onto the road and headed in the direction of the base . at exactly 0430 the van was in sight of the gates and blinked his headlights twice . the two rocket propelled grenades hit simultaneously , one hitting the gate itself and the second hitting the small guardhouse killing the two troopers instantaneously . the van accelerated through the demolished gate and turned in the direction of the qm stores . the two men in front of the main gate held their position to provide covering fire if necessary . the two , lying by the hedge for the past five hours , ran forward and placed a breaching charge against the door to the stores and stood to one side . as it blew the van pulled up in front . one man jumped out with cable cutters and joined the other two in the building . the fourth turned the van around and opened up the back doors . a second breaching charge blew the door to the armory . they had four minutes to get out as much as they could carry . five minutes later they exited through the wrecked main gate , picked up the two lying in the ditch and turned north west on the a41 . the entire exercise took seven minutes ! it took almost half an hour for the new guard and the small section of military police to determine that the threat was no longer in the immediate area . it took better than forty minutes to throw up road blocks on all the major arteries in and around the base and market drayton . it took over an hour for the quick response team to arrive from hereford . by the time the protocols had all been followed the six were long gone . theres no bloody way this is a coincidence , the commander was truly pissed . jesus christ we dont even know how many people were involved never mind who they were . david and jennifer sat at the desk listening to the ominous silence coming from the speaker phone , before either one of them could speak , sorry guysi know its not your fault . im going to take the chopper . get hold of george mudd i want him there and get an inventory from tern hill . i want to know exactly whats missing including the serial numbers . before he left for hereford he instructed that the surveillance be increased on tony wei , frank jennings and avi up in leeds and that any movement reports be immediately forwarded to major rowden in hereford . less than two hours later , with a clattering roar , he touched down in a local park in hereford much to the excitement of the children playing in the playground . within fifteen minutes the four of them , the commander , george , david and jennie were sitting in davids cramped , little office on bath st. david was pouring over the surveillance reports that had been faxed from london and the commander was going over the inventory reports provided by the military police at tern hill . the surveillance team seems to have lost touch with jennings for a while commander , said david , they lost him around lunchtime on wednesday last and he just pops up in his shop thursday afternoon . hmmm , the commander thoughtfully , but thats before the attack on the basemight just be the only coincidence in this whole bloody thing . jennie chipped in , but surely your team knows what its doing , they havent lost him before..perhaps he wanted to be lost , certainly food for thought if nothing else . the commander was reading the inventory report . they got away with twelve m16s , twelve browning high power pistols and two each heckler and koch mp-5ka4 and l86a1s plus a raft of ammunition . doesnt seem to be a hell of a lot considering the downside but guess who signed the inventory reports..sergeant patrick ohara..now theres a coincidence ! george had been quiet up to this point . he had read the initial reports on the attack sketchy though they were . lets look at what we actually know , he said quietly . paddy ohara has dealings with people , either directly or indirectly , that the security services are watching very carefully . he travels to belfast where he meets with three known provos that we know of . within weeks the base of the 1st battalion irish is bombed , two troopers are killed and weapons are stolen out of the armory . its obvious that the strike was both professional , surgical and required inside information . he had the attention of the other three now , they were leaning back in their chairs listening . he sat , with his elbows on the table , gazing at the wall lost in thought . if i was planning a strike like that i would do it with six to eight peopleno more . i would have had at least two of them on the base during the night and i would have picked the same time of night to attack . they must have had a good idea of the response times as they were obviously long gone by the time everyone got their acts together .

the commander leaned forward in his chair and said , the fact that two of our boys were killed turns this into something else which , in itself , gives us a lot more license than normal . i agree that we have to assume , for now anyway , that the provos are responsible , probably in cooperation with ohara . we will go down that road for the time being at least . george interrupted , we know the identities of the three gents that ohara met in belfast , it will not be too difficult to find out who else was involved.my team can look after that for you . the commander looked up and smiled . i knew youd have your uses , he said . ~ ~ ~ chapter 25 ask no questions get no lies one of the oldest pubs in belfast is whites tavern . some say its been in existence since 1630.perhaps it has , perhaps it hasnt it doesnt alter the fact that its popular with both the locals and tourists alike serving up good traditional music , excellent food all to be washed down by one of the best pints of guinness in the cityso they claim . hed been coming here for years . he liked the very irishness of the place , the malt smell of the beer on tap , the constant chatter , the lively music of an evening . often there was someone here he knew..someone to chat to . not so this evening . he thought there might have been more people in being so close to christmas although it was a bit early . he sat in the middle of the long bar , enjoying being on his own for the time being , chatting with the barman as he polished glasses and pulled pints . he sensed rather than saw the two men behind him . looking in the mirror , behind the bar , he saw them , both about his age , really no different than most of the chaps that come into the pub . one of them looked vaguely familiar . the one on his right bent down to his ear , good evening john , how are you ? the voice was cultured irish , quiet , pleasant in a way , sounded more like donegal than belfast . wed like you to come with us , pay your tab and just walk out with us . he stiffened and sat for a few seconds pondering his optionsa voice from his left , still quiet but definitely not cultured more falls road than anything . if you think its my dick you can feel in your back youd be wrong , now be a good boy , pay your tab and just walk out of the pub with us nice and quiet like . the three of them got into the car parked at the curb , the driver pulled out into the traffic . the one with the gun , who looked as though he knew what he was doing , said , get on the floor and keep your eyes down , try anything stupidhe left the rest unsaid . they drove west for almost an hour , out along the a52 , the ballyutoag road . john hadnt heard another vehicle for over twenty minutes . eventually he felt the car turn onto a bumpy lane , he could hear the splashing of the , not yet frozen , puddles under the car . they pulled up in front of an old farm house , surrounded by trees . it had started to snow and the wind was threatening to drift the snow against the buildings . the driver said conversationally , place has been in my family for a long time , beautiful in the summer but a bitch in the winter . no neighbors or anything . bit too isolated for mebut it has its uses . they walked him into the kitchen . sit down john , said the cultured one nodding his head towards one of the pine chairs at the table . they tied him to the chair with plastic ties . the cultured one again , before we have our chat i think we should light a fire and make a pot of tea , its a bit chilly in here . slowly the room warmed up as the peat took hold . the one with the gun took off his parka and poured three mugs of tea . john.milk and sugar ? the cultured one again . no need to be rude old boy , again the cultured one . he took the mug , poured the contents down the sink and sat down on the other side of the table . he smiled at john . it should be obvious , even to you john , that weve brought you here for a little chat , he smiled again . we know you were at tern hill the other day and , just in case you dont know , the two troopers in the guardhouse died . i should add , by the way , that right now the authorities really dont care what happens to youjust thought id throw that out so you get the whole picture..only fair after all . we really only have one question for youwell more than one actually , he was still quiet and polite . we know who three of your group are but we also know that it couldnt have been pulled off with only three , so we would like to know the names of the others . take your time john theres no hurry . he got up and poured himself another mug of tea . the room now was getting quite warm .

its also pretty obvious that you had inside information so we would also like to know who the contact was and who organized the whole thing..perhaps it was the same chapwho knowsso what do you have to say john ? go fuck yourself , said john straining at the ties . you know im really remiss , said the courteous one , i failed to introduce myself . my name is james , people call me jimmy.jimmy orourke actually , thats probably all you need to know just now . to be fair i should probably explain your options to youas i said before the authorities really dont care what happens to you as long as there is some sort of retribution . the nature of that retribution is entirely up to you . you can tell us what we need to know right now . for that we simply hand you over to the authorities . you will be found guilty of a terrorist act or second degree murder or both i suppose in which case you will serve a considerable amount of time but , and i cant stress this enough for you , you will be alive . the other options i leave to your imagination , are you sure you wont have some tea ? he turned to the driver of the car , could you put the kettle on again please and then get that large poly tarp out of the back of the car . we really dont want to make a mess in here.. do we have any biscuits ? they sat around for quite a while enjoying the tea and biscuits . john on his chair had been placed in the middle of the large blue , plastic tarp . jimmy took a notebook out of his jacket pocket and an old fashioned fountain pen . unscrewing the top off the pen he looked up at john . okay john the moment of truth , firstly the names of the men with you at tern hill . go fuck yourself , said john , sweat shining on his forehead . youre a very rude man , john , shoot him in the left kneecap please ! the roar of the gun exploded in the room . johns scream was drowned out by the crash of the chair as it hit the floor . the tarp was spattered with blood from the shattered knee . pick him up theres a good chap , said jimmy quietly . has he passed out ? hmm well ask him again when he comes round . the pleasant smell in the kitchen of the peat fire was now replaced a mixture of burning peat , cordite and the coppery smell of blood . john sat in the chair , chin on his chest , his face waxen in shock the blood from his shattered knee dripping onto the tarp . hes awake , said jimmy . john i really do dislike this unpleasantness but i must insist on getting the names so you give them to me now and then well get your leg fixed up . john looked at him balefully almost biting through his bottom lip in an attempt to quell the waves of pain . you might as well kill me now , he whispered . goodness..no point in that , said jimmy , shoot him in the other knee please . again the gun roared out , the kneecap visibly shattering in front of them . john and the chair were thrown across the room by the force of the heavy caliber bullet . untie him now , said jimmy , hes not going anywhere . lie him down on the floor and get the poor chap a pillow for his head . john came round to find himself lying on the floor . the kitchen lights were dazzling above him , the windows dark with the coming night . he could see the two shapes sitting at the kitchen table . the effort brought a moan of pain to his lips . good show.hes come around at last , said jimmy . one of the shapes stood up and kneeled by his side . those legs look pretty bad john , sorry about that but , like i said before , i really do need the names . john tried to speak . shhhh , said jimmy , before you try to be rude again let me explain something to you . weve done this before , youre not going to die . next are your elbows then your eyes , we can keep you alive for days if needs be , he sat back on his heels so whats it going to be john ? oharaohara , whispered john . ~ ~ ~ chapter 26 was the night before christmas..almost anyway . tony wei sat in his club in kensington . the attack on tern hill had been relegated to the third page in the times . speculation was rife concerning the circumstances although details were sparse to say the least . this , tony assumed , would be due to the security forces clamping a lid on any and all information , d notices flying around all over the place , that throwback to the last war that prohibits publishing information that might threaten national security . his greatest concern was that this had something to do with jennings . he had never felt this exposed , after all two troopers had been killed . if he could be tied to the event he could be considered as guilty as if he had pulled the trigger himself .

for years he had prided himself on his tradecraft , now he was kicking himself for getting involved in something where the gains , frankly , did not justify the risks . he had been complacent , he knew it and now the knot in his stomach was becoming a constant reminder . if caught and proven that he was indirectly involved in the tern hill affair none of the options were overly attractive . if proven and he could be tied to the chinese embassy his , life expectancy would be considerably shortened . if not tied to the embassy he would get at least lifehed be an old man by the time he got out . maybe he would be deported but to where ? if to china , same thinghe wouldnt live too long . viet nam ? his papers were false and wouldnt stand the type of scrutiny that deportation demanded . the more he thought about it the more his imagination ran riot , the more his stomach got into a knot . he had set himself up as the middleman.jennings as the source.avi as the client . surely if these two were out of the picture nothing could link him to tern hill . having thought that he came back to the fact that he still hadnt heard from jennings so just perhaps tern hill didnt have anything to do with them..yea and cows can fly he thought . of course his final option would be just to cut and run , but to where ? life on the run didnt exactly appeal to himno , the best action would be to insulate himself from what was going on and then lie low for as long as necessary . his mind twisted and turned . he was tempted to call frank even drive up there but he knew either could be a mistake . patience was his only friend just now . no matter what one decision was made , both jennings and avi had to go and he would have to do it himself . outside of avi nothing could tie him to the smuggling business at that end and with jennings out of the way nothing tied him to any weapons theft . having come to a conclusion his stomach settled down and he could focus more on the details of the jobs at hand . perhaps a light lunch and a good bottle of wine would settle his nerves . he stood up , straightened his immaculate suit and , waiving nonchalantly to a couple of acquaintances at the bar , strolled into the dining room as though he hadnt a care in the world . * it was exactly a week since the attack on clive barracks . paddy ohara could feel the blood pounding in his ears . his legs werent sore yet and he was still nowhere near the wall although he knew it was coming . he was jogging his normal route . most of the guys jogged on the base using either the track or the playing fields . he just got bored silly going round and round and much preferred jogging down by the river and the canal . there was always something to see down therethe colorful canal boatsthe river itself with the huge willows at the waters edge . first thing in the morning , even in the winter , with your breath following you like an old steam train , it was a pleasure providing you were dressed properly . he simply had to get out every day for a while . in a couple of weeks , in the new year , even older ncos like him were going to have to go over the obstacle course and hed better be in shape otherwise he was going to have a heart attack . this time of the morning it was barely light . probably because of the time of year , coupled with it being close to christmas , there werent many people out either . in fact he hadnt seen anyone for quite a while . he could hear footsteps behind him , somebody younger , faster catching him up . a joggerno , more of a runner went past him . couldnt tell if it was a man or a woman , dressed in black , with a black hoody , moving quickly and effortlessly where he was starting to labor a little . he offered a good morning as the runner went by but got no response which was unusual for this part of the world . he turned down towards the canal , his favorite part of the run . this was a little easier now , slightly downhill then leveling off along the old towpath , a line of bare , winter trees to his left the canal on his right , vestiges of ice rimming the banks . he was running a little easier nowmust have got his second wind . he ran by a line of canal boats all tucked up for the winter . he could see the locks several hundred yards ahead . this is where he could cross the canal and jog down the other side . a shape stepped out of the trees about fifty yards in front of him and just stood in the middle of the tow path as though waiting for him to arrive . it looked like the runner that had passed him earlier . as he moved over to one side in order to pass , the runner in black moved over as if to block him . he slowed down to almost a walk as he approached . the runners foot and leg were a blur . it was so fast he almost didnt see it happening .

the foot struck him just below the heart . his heart almost stopped . he didnt feel the ground as he crashed down neither did he feel the gravel of the path as the runner dragged him to the edge of the canal . he felt the cold water close over him as he slipped under the surface . his whole chest was numbhe couldnt feel anything . there was no sensation . he didnt feel himself bump against the hull of one of the colorful canal boats.he no longer felt anything . * tony took a table in the dining room sitting with his back to the wall facing the entrance.old habits . he nodded to the smartly dressed gentleman , dining alone , a couple of tables further down the wall . he failed to notice that the gentleman had an excellent view of the lounge area and bar and particularly the area where tony had been sitting although he must have had the choice of far nicer tables . after having sampled the excellent sancerre brought to his table and whilst waiting for the soup he had ordered the mobile in his left jacket pocket vibrated . its frank , the voice in his ear replied . you following protocol ? dont worry tony , im calling from a call box . just as well , said tony , what do you want im just having lunch ? frank told him that his order was ready and that he would be willing to deliver it the following monday dec 23rd . it was agreed to deliver the order to the brixton warehouse between three and four in the afternoon as tony wanted to be there himself and the order was c.o.d . when tony rang off he didnt notice the other gentleman check his watch . the commander , george , jennie and dave rowden were meeting on saturday evening but this time in the comfort of georges home in eaton bishop rather than the cramped quarters of the bath st. police station . this was at the request of the commander rather than georges preference as he had wanted to see the weapons in the museum particularly the blow guns , darts and poison . they were sitting round the table in the museum , notes and drinks in front of them . i could get used to this , said the commander , much more civilized than im used to he smiled at jennie as though he knew something that she didnt . well , he said lots of activity in the last few days . thanks to georges team we now have the names of all the participants in the tern hill job . we also have confirmation that the whole thing was organized by ohara . im not sure i want to know exactly how the information was acquired and , quite frankly , just between the four of us im not sure i really give a shit..enough that we have it for now . weve also intercepted a call from jennings to tony wei concerning some delivery to his brixton warehouse on monday . now its very much a question of timing and developing a link between the whole bunch of themproviding of course there is a link , although i find it hard to believe in coincidences . the commander looked up , we have to assume that jennings and wei are up to no good . under the counter terrorist act we have sufficient suspicion to justify warrants for the arrest of both of them plus warrants for search and seizure of the warehouse , jennings shop , both their homes and all their vehicles . we know theyre meeting on monday so thats when well take them . although we dont have much time well coordinate with the west yorkshire police and take down avis entire group plus the illegals . at the same time we can take down ohara . the commander took a sip of his drink and looked over at george . george i assume your people have located all the irishmen ? yes sir , george responded out of habit , we have eyes constantly on all of them . i would have thought some of them might have made a run for it by now..at least get out of the way for a while ; canada or the usa , they must be feeling pretty confident ! each of the four sat , quietly lost in their own thoughts , considering their potential part in what the commander was proposing . fair bit of coordination required here , mused david , the separate groups will have to be taken down simultaneously . we cant afford any communication between them or we run the risk of them running . there are some unknowns too . we dont know how many villains were dealing with in brixton so wed have to be prepared for the worst . i dont know about leeds or ireland . the easiest part seems to be taking down ohara . the commander chipped in . youre absolutely right major , however we do know what were dealing with in leeds and im confident the west yorkshire police can deal with them . i agree with the ohara part..the mps can take him down easily . the problem is in london and ireland . frankly , george , i wish i could use your people in ireland but its out of the question .

at least its a known quantity.just the six of them . actually just five sir , said george one of them had a bit of an accident im sorry to report . exactly why we cant use your people for this , george , said the commander , once we start , some of this is bound to leak out and become public knowledge , particularly the london element . we will have to be able to withstand a certain amount of public scrutiny although not too much as the official secrets act will be invoked plus d notices will be thrown at the newspapers . the problem will be mr. joe public . the biggest unknown is going to be in brixton.theres no telling how many we will be dealing with at the warehouse and of course we certainly dont know if all weis employees are villains . the odds are that theyre not . the last thing we need is some innocent to get caught up in it ! ok , heres how i propose we go about this . the commander stood up and started to walk about the room lost in thought . david i want you take responsibility for tony wei . youll use the sas counter terrorism team in north london , there are eight of them stationed there just for this purpose . youll also have to coordinate with the met.ill give you a contact name of someone high enough up the ladder that you wont have any problems . however its of paramount importance that the sas set up a command and control center immediately in brixton to try and determine exactly what were going up against . ive also had contact with some of the brass at clive barracks , said david , it was part of the initial investigation into ohara . id recommend we ignore the co there hes a real colonel blimp , just go with the officer commanding the military police . he can do it nice and quiet like . that works for me , said the commander , make sure ohara is arrested at exactly 1500 hours on mondayno later ! georgeas far as the irish side is concerned its not that difficult . i once met the chief constable of the royal ulster constabulary at an extended training course at the police college in bramshill so i have the contact . im going to talk to him as soon as i can find him , simply have your people hand off to him and his people . just make sure that your guys keep a low profile..out of sight altogether would be the best thing , he added smiling , as soon as i have it set up have jimmy orourke call himill give you the number . jennie who had been silent up to now said , commander , none of this cloak and dagger stuff has anything to do with me however i do have two murders on my plate just now.one of them right on my patch in hereford . i presume you have no objection to our interviewing tony wei once you have him in custody ? actually that might be a good thing , answered the commander , added pressure can do nothing but help . as soon as we have him in his new home well be in touch . you and david should do the interview . george..if you dont mind id like to get on the phone and get the wheels in motion . once thats done , if youve no objection , ill have the chopper pick me up here and nip me back to london . no problem commander , said george , tell the pilot to pick you up in the paddock to the south of the house . theres plenty of room and ill have mr. iredale move the horses into the barn . wellthats the most activity weve had in the last ten days , said george . the clatter of the helicopter , returning the commander to london , had disappeared behind the trees and david had left for london to coordinate that end of the operation . they were sitting in the kitchen at the large pine table . youre right about that , said jennie , but were really no further ahead concerning harry and peter brenner , hopefully theres some sort of connection . id like to leave everything until after christmas if thats possible . by the time they get tony wei locked up itll be christmas eve . theoretically i have the week off starting now but id like to do the interview next friday if that works for everyone , just means ill have to drive up to london which is a bit of a pain . you going to stay here over christmas ? you mean all week ? replied jennie teasing . darn right , replied george , no point in running backwards and forwards all week is there ? typical male logic , said jennie , sure there isnt another reason ? okaythe truth is id like you to be here for the week and i dont care who knows it . itll make mrs. iredale happy too , he said laughing . id love to..thanks for asking , she replied laughing , but theres a couple of conditions .

i dont want to be treated as lady of the manor and i want to be involved in the household stuff .that includes cooking the christmas dinner . just have to make sure mrs. iredale doesnt think im putting her out of a job . do we know whos coming for christmas yet ? good news there jen , i heard from robbie . hell be here by christmas eve , going to stay at least a weeknot just a holiday we have a fair bit of business to discuss too . apparently he had a hell of a job convincing paan that he would be okay on his own . theres also a bit of a turn up for the book..gema mason is coming together with wendy . i dont know how dick feels about that , he might not even know . just hope there isnt any unpleasantness . anyway that makes ten including the iredales . ~ ~ ~ chapter 27 operation icarus the commander and david rowden were sitting in the communication center on gower street in london . jennings hadnt even left for london yet so there was plenty of time . you know this is too bloody complicated , said the commander , too much going on at once . the lynch pin to the whole thing is ohara . if he twigs , everybody will disappear on us ; the irish , the chinaman with jennings , avi up in leeds plus the illegals..theyll all dive underground , wed be screwed ! lets pick up ohara now , that way we can isolate him and obviate any risk , call the mps now , dave , and lets lock the bastard up . david dialed the direct line to the lieutenant he had met up at clive barracks . after a terse , rather one sided conversation , he hung up and turned to the commander . bit of a problem up there sir , they dont have eyes on ohara , in fact he hasnt been seen for a couple of days . hes actually awol never mind everything else . youve got to be kidding me , replied the commander , what the bloody hell is going on ? tell them to keep looking but keep it quiet until we give them the go ahead for an all out search . he looked at the wall clock , jennings should be leaving soon . i might as well call the ruc now and get the irish mob picked up.should bring them all up to london , puts the pressure on . soon as ive done that well drive over to the command and control center and get a closer look at the brixton operation . surely wed have known if ohara had done a runnerwhat the fuck is happening here ? the command and control center was , in fact , a completely nondescript fifty three foot trailer parked several blocks from the warehouse . the interior comprised of a communication center , a toilet , small galley and four berths . when the commander and david arrived communications was manned by an sas captain and one trooper . lines were open with the west yorks police , the royal ulster constabulary and the military police in clive barracks . after introductions had been made the commander asked for an update . the sas captain , sitting in a swivel chair in front of a console of screens and phones , turned to him . theres still no sign of ohara , which is of some concern , but we cant let it influence us . jennings is on the move now and should arrive in about ninety minutes . the police , in yorkshire and ireland , are all in place and are just waiting for the go ahead from us . what about the warehouse ? its not that bad commander , said the captain , only the one floor , three entrancestwo in the front , one of which is an overhead dock door , and one in the rear which is a man door . all the windows are barred . the operation should be pretty straight forward although , of course , you never really know . were an eight man team plus the two of us in here . therell be two on the back door , two on the main entrance in the front and two on the dock doors . we also have snipers covering the front and the back . as soon as jennings gets out of the van we give the go ahead to yorkshire and ireland . we go in simultaneously as soon as jennings has unloaded . the met is prepared to handle road blocks if necessary and will block all traffic as soon as we go in . there are only two people in the building , tony wei plus the driver that does the run to amsterdam . an added bonus is that their truck is parked outside on the street , any requests or suggestions commander ? just keep them all alive if possibleanything to add major ? turning towards david . once theyre in custody where are we taking them ? i suggest that jennings and the driver be taken to the jail here in brixtonseparate cellsno communication whatsoever . tony wei goes to a safe house . you and i will take him , that ok with you david ?

works for me commander let them all stew over christmas . plowright and myself plan to come up to town on friday to interview wei , of course our prime interest is downer and brenner , anything else will be dependent on this afternoon i would think . they settled down to wait , periodically checking with the teams and the two snipers on the roofs , having excellent views of the streets . two of the screens on the console in front of the captain glowed in the indirect lighting showed the front and the back of the building . one of the phones rang jolting them into alertness . jennings is about ten minutes out , said the captain tersely . he keyed his mike button , ten minutes gentlemenwait until my commandsnipers you are not green until my command..we want them alive . traffic was light on this side street off the brixton road . it was less than ten minutes before the black van pulled in off the main road , stopped and backed up to the dock . the sas captain keyed his mike . only one man in the van . confirm as frank jennings , let him unload.wait for my command . he picked up one phone receiver on which was conferenced the west yorks police , the royal ulster constabulary and the london met . yorkshire and ireland you have a go . london wait for the breaching blast before you block off the streetdont want to tip anyone off at this stage of the game . jennings got out of the van , looked up and down the street and rang the bell by the side of the dock door . the door rose electrically . it was impossible to see inside from the camera placed across the street . jennings started to unload boxes that seemed to be heavy for their size , passing them to someone inside the building . there were ten cardboard boxes of average size followed by four large wooden crates . jennings closed the rear doors to the van , locked everything up and jumped up onto the dock without a word . the overhead door closed silently . blue team you are good to go , said the captain quietly into his throat mike . three men quickly and simultaneously approached the three doors , placed breaching charges against each and stood off well to the sides with their partners . with a resounding crash all three were detonated together . flashbangs were heaved through the resulting entrances immediately followed by the three teams of sas troopers . in the distance the sirens as the london police blocked off the side street . for a number of seconds it was quiet , the dust settling around the doors , a team of riot police keeping both traffic and a few pedestrians away from the immediate scene . from deep inside the building the muffled sound of three shots quickly followed by the quick chatter of an mp5 followed by quiet . building clear , came over the speaker , two in custody and one down.no rush hes dead ! roger that , replied the captain , two men on each doorway immediately , no one in unless authorized by myself . were coming in now..three of us . the commander , david and the captain jogged across the street and , climbing over the rubble of the destroyed door , entered the building . the lobby was cloudy with dust from the explosion . the three of them walked out into the warehouse . the scene was like a war zone , thick dust everywhere , yellow in the light of the fluorescents high in the roof , three teams of two men each in black coveralls and balaclavas standing guard at the entrances . david recognized the coppery smell of cordite and blood in the air . one of the men approached the captain and , glancing at the commander and david , said , one of the bad guys made a run for the rear door . he opened fire with a handgun , we had no choice but to take him out . the commander walked down the warehouse to the body , lying in a pool of blood , spread-eagled on the concrete floor and took a good look at him . must be the driver , he said that mp5 made a mess of him . he walked back to the group at the front of the warehouse just inside the dock door . two men were kneeling on the concrete floor hands tied behind them with plastic ties . tony wei and frank jennings.youve both been naughty boys.the question is.how naughty.so what have we got here ? said the commander , nodding at the pile of boxes and crates . david took out his pocket knife and sliced open one of the cardboard boxes . no wonder they looked heavy , he said . he pulled off the cardboard box to reveal a military looked ammunition box . he sliced open a few more . all the samelooks like two calibersabout 5000 rounds in total id estimate . taking a wrecking bar from the bench by the door he opened up the four crates . oh boy.take a look at this commander looking down into the crates they saw four automatic weapons . looks like two light machine guns and two mp5s .

theyre all brand new..still in their packing grease . the lmgs look like the new ones just issued . give me one of the serial numbers david , asked the commander taking a folded sheet of paper out of his jacket pocket . david lifted out one of the machine guns and reeled off the serial number . the commander walked over to the two men kneeling on the floor . these are some of the weapons stolen from clive barracks recently . two irish regiment troopers were killed in that jobyou two boys have a real problem..fly that close to the sunicarus i believe . * later that evening back in gower street with george and jennie on the conference phone in the middle of the table , ok lets have a quick post mortem so as we are all up to date , said the commander . firstly we have to commend everyone for a job well done . it was as quiet and as unobtrusive as we could have it and no one got hurt..other than the chinamans drivercouldnt be helped . all the irish have been picked up , are in transit to london and are awaiting her majestys pleasure . avi and his group , plus the eight illegals , are all in custody . we wont have any trouble figuring out avis involvement in this and the illegals will be deported quickly to their country of origin.interpol are working on that in amsterdam . jennings is sitting in brixton prison and tony wei is in a safe house . by the way we found twenty thousand quid in small bills in a briefcase in weis office..obviously payment for the guns . the only wrinkle still left is that theres still no sign of ohara . i suppose he could be long gone by now . luckily we dont need him to tie everything together now although it would have been nice.well keep on looking though . i think thats about it for now . david and jennie are coming up to london next friday to interview tony weianybody anything to add ? any objections to me coming up to london on friday as well ? asked george over the phone , i might be of some help there . its fine with me , said the commander , its still a counter terrorist affair and youre still a consultant although obviously jennie plowrights interest is the ongoing murder investigation . i suppose now i only have one thing to add at this stage of the proceedings.merry christmas everyone ! ! ~ ~ ~ chapter 28 time for presents it was like a multi-layered christmas card thought jennie , both inside and out . it had snowed overnight and was cold enough for it to remain fluffy and unmarred by a partial thaw . it lay on the pine trees and fields like a great white , fluffy blanket . the paddock behind the house was stained by the pile of hay put out by mr. iredale and surrounded by the hoof prints of the horses , a cloud of steam above each horse like a personal aura . she stood in the tall , mullioned study window looking out across the paddock towards the woods in the distance , the fire crackling behind her in the hearth . she could see robbie and george coming down the path out of the woods together with the two labs like two black blobs in the snow . the two men had their shotguns under their arms although it looked as though theyd had no luck . it was obvious that now the dogs were playing rather than working , chasing each other and rolling in the snow . it all seemed so far away from what she did for a living.another world . her world seemed grimy compared to this place , a world of crime , a world that often seemed ugly by comparison . this place was like an island.a refugea cave almost . george stopped at the paddock railing and waited for the horses to trot over as he knew they would , each knowing that he had carrots in his pocket , as he always had . he treated each one individually then turned towards the house , disappearing round the corner , heading for the back and the mud room . she turned back into the large room feeling at home and comfortable amongst the chintz covered couches and gleaming antique furniture . the crash of a door in the back of the house brought her out of her reverie , the pounding of canine feet in the long hallway followed by the eruption of the two dogs into the study . they rushed over to say hello and then collapsed in front of the roaring fire..measured strides down the hallway and the two men walked into the room . she had met robbie for the first time just last night . they had taken to each other immediately . he was a huge man , in his forties now but still lean and hard . hed shaved off his beard and was deeply tanned from the brunei sun . he made george appear small yet george himself was well over six feet . the two of them were obviously more than just comfortable in each others presence .

for some inexplicable reason mr. and mrs. iredale insist on being called mr. and mrs. iredale.i , for one , have given up arguing . their names are actually terry and margaret . he looked up at them quizzically , margaret started to blush . terry here is actually sergeant major terence iredale retired of the parachute regiment and one of the originals . for your benefit jennie the originals are the original members of the sas that fought with stirling in north africa during the last war..hes a hard man but loves horses , he added laughing . they live in the lodge down by the gate and have done since i bought the place . i trust them both implicitly . well i never.lifes full of surprises , said robbie , its an honor to meet you sergeant major , standing up and shaking his hand . one night we should get together , over a wee dram , and swap lies . the first to arrive was david and his girlfriend pauline , theyd been staying at the green dragon in hereford . jennie went out of her way to make pauline feel at home but only after having spoken to david to ensure that shop did not crop up during conversation . they were gathered together in the museum trying to re-arrange things to make room for robbies substantial addition when dickie mason arrived.alone . he was showed in by mrs. iredale . dickiemerry christmas.great to see you , said george . nice to see you people too , said dick , thanks for inviting me . robbie you look absolutely sensational in a kilt , that the style in brunei these days ? he said laughingly . gema and wendy will be along soon i expect , theyll be in their own car . why dont we go into the study and crack a nice bottle of sherry whilst we wait for them ? suggested george giving jennie a questioning look . by now the spicy smell of christmas was pervading the house . roast turkey , a separate pan of walnut stuffing , bread pudding . the vegetables would only go on once the turkey was almost cooked , the kitchen a hive of activity . george had just poured the sherry when gemas green jag pulled up in front of the house . mother and daughter walked into the study . robbie eyed the two from where he was standing in front of the fire . it was years since he had seen gema and wendy hed never actually met . gema seemed to have hardly changed at all . she was beautiful twenty years ago and she was still beautiful . a few lines about the eyes but her hair was still lustrous although now it was cut short . her figure looked the same as it had all those years ago.youthful and hard but it was wendy that caught him aback . she was tall , as tall as her father . in her heels she had to be well over six feet towering over her mother . her hair was short and auburn in contrast to her mothers , her skin a honey color blushed by the sun . her most startling feature was her eyes . they were dickies eyesa startling blue yet almond shaped like her mothers . she was dressed in a cheomsam , that high collared , oriental dress with a slit up the side . it was a peacock blue accenting her eyes and showing off her long , tanned legs . ignoring her father she walked over to him . you must be robbie mcelroy , im wendy mason ive heard so much about you . he took her hand to shake it and immediately felt not the hand of a student at cambridge but something else . he looked down and was surprised to see tiny intricate tattoos on the backs of the fingers . i am indeed , he rumbled , im so pleased to meet you at last . ive known your mother for over twenty years now.your father for longer than that . with that gema came over . he had to lean right over to kiss her on the cheek . long time no see gem , he said quietly , paan says hi , daughter looks like a chip off the old block.tall too . yes but which block ? gema whispered and turned away to be introduced to david and pauline . * the house was quiet now save for the muffled ticking of the old clock on the landing . jennie lay in bed looking at the shadows on the ceiling cast by the bedside lamp , george by her side . that was one of the nicest and yet the weirdest christmas dinners of my life , she said . i know exactly what you mean , jen . im not quite sure why all the masons came . i dont think one word passed between dickie and gema all day or with wendy for that matter..its the strangest arrangement . did you get to talk to wendy at all ? no not really , she replied , gema and wendy avoided me like the plague . im sure its because gema knows im a copper , food for thought there though .

robbie mcelroy will be second in command as long as he is here . any questions jim ? no sticky , should have everyone there by the weekend , shouldnt be a problem at all . probably have a line-up of fellas wanting to come , anything else ? no thats it for now jimmy.see you in a day or two . he hung up the phone and sat there nursing his tea . might be overkill but , like i said , better safe than sorry . terry i want you to keep an eye out now until jimmy shows up . check on the proximity alarms in the woods.make sure everythings on line.nobody in without checking with the house first . they walked back to the house in silence each lost in his own thoughts . i hope were going to do something about harry and peter , said robbie , but i dont want to run afoul of your good lady . im with you on that robbiethey wouldnt expect anything less and neither would i.what we need is more intel . back at the house george and robbie went back to the museum . got to sort this lot out , said george , maybe start some sort of catalogue . thanks to you my collection has almost doubled in size . he was kneeling on the floor , twiddling the dial , unlocking the safe door . reaching in he took out two handguns , his sig 9 mill and the browning high power which he passed to robbie . you might want to keep that in your room while youre here . he tucked the sig into his belt at his back , under his sweater . sure got that itchy feeling . later that day , the weak sun doing nothing to melt the snow , george suggested to jennie that they go for a little drive . theres someone i want you to meet , he said , put your boots on and wear something warm . taking the land rover they drove towards the village . at a long stone wall , backed by a row of leafless oaks as old as time , he pulled over onto the snow covered verge , parked and got out . they walked through the lych gate partly hidden by the trees and into the snowy yard . what a magnificent old church , said jennie her breath curling up into the air . its st. michaels and all angels , said george , it was built in the eleventh century . that huge , stained glass window was installed in 1320 . its so important that it was removed during the war and stored for safekeeping . they were walking on what was obviously a pathway , snow covered now.. no sign of anyone having passed since the snowfall , the gravestones standing like dark , lonely sentinels against the bright snow . they stopped in front of a white marble headstone . judith allyson mclelland-mudd 1950-1980 . there was a bench , snow covered now , at right angles to the gravesite . i came and sat on this bench just about every week for years.except for when i was away . its important to me that you meet her , that you understand she was a major part of my life for a long time . you would have liked each other . in some ways you are alike , in most you are different . after she was killed a part of me died but she never seemed to be far away . she always seemed to be there , looking over my shoulder approving or disapprovingalmost like an alter-conscience . i told her about you quite some time ago . i told her i would bring you to meet her if and when i thought the time was right . i havent felt her presence for some time now . its as though she feels im in good , safe hands and can now lie in peace . it had started to snow lightly , the flakes settling on the shoulders of their jackets the silence only broken by the occasional call of a rook in the oaks . jennie took his hand and turned to him , tears shining in her eyes . thank you , she said , i was waiting for you to bring me here . he put his arm around her and they stood there , in the snow , gazing at the headstone each lost in their own thoughts . she looked up at george..tears were streaming down his face . ~ ~ ~ part 4 * chapter 30 up to london town the light snow had persisted all night but they had committed to drive up to london to interview tony wei . if they left a little later , giving the road crews time to clear the major highways , it would be nothing the land rover couldnt handle . george was doing the driving with jennie sitting up front . david and pauline were sitting in the back , the understanding being that they would drop off pauline at her home in north london and then continue on up to the safe house . as predicted the land rover took the road conditions in its stride . as they got closer to the city the conditions improved and the skies started to clear .

due to pauline being in the car it was impossible for them to enter into anything other than small talk . they dropped her off in edgeware only about a twenty minute drive from their destination in barnet . it was agreed that david would lead the interview with jennie jumping in when she felt it appropriate . george would act as an observer although he was the only one who had actually met wei previously . driving up the high road towards barnet george turned the radio off . you know no one has convinced me that there is a connection between the raid on tern hill and the killings of peter and harry . that doesnt mean to say there isnt one but we cant lose sight of ohara getting killed whilst all our main players were under observation . weve obviously either missed something or someone or there is no connection whatsoever which , i would agree , would be a hell of a coincidence . i dont want you folk to lose sight of the fact that all three killed were part of an old group of mine , admittedly twenty years ago but it certainly is strange . i need to let you know that , starting this weekend , ive brought in four minders to keep an eye on the estate . theyll be staying with the iredales and will be there until this mess is cleared up . dont worry..theyll be working within the law and staying within the confines of the property . robbie feels the same way about this as i do and hell be staying on a few extra days before going back to brunei . jennie turned towards him her arm over the back of the seat . you worried there might be more george ? the fact is , jen , we really dont know whats going on . three people are dead , two killed by a poison that originates in borneo although it could be reproduced anywhere if you had the correct ingredients . at this stage of the game id much rather be safe than sorry . i also think we should be warning both dickie mason and colonel gurney of what has been happening although im sure they already know . i would doubt though that theyve considered themselves at risk . of course i could also be totally wrong and i hope i am . on davids instructions george turned down friern barnet lane and drove past the north middlesex golf course . he then turned into the driveway of a large detached house set back from the road . nice home , said jennie , as they got out of the car stretching . yeswe keep them until we think they might have been compromised then we sell them on the open market and buy another one , answered david . there are certain criteria but thats what makes them attractive on the market . im told we usually make a bob or two on the sale , he said laughing while ringing the bell . who is it please ? a pleasant female voice from the intercom speaker to the side of the door . major rowden , detective sergeant plowright and sergeant mudd , answered david . step back from the door please , the metallic voice from the speaker , after a few seconds the door clicked open on an electric lock and they stepped into the entrance hallway . the door silently closed behind them and self locked with an audible set of clicks . facing them across the hallway a matronly , middle aged woman , hair in a bun , sat behind a desk her hands conspicuously out of sight . may i see your identification please ? she asked politely , put them on the desk in front of me . after inspecting the identity cards , georges having been provided by david , she pushed a bell push on the desk summoning a guard who entered from a door off to the side . two of you are armed , she said smiling , jennie looked shocked . technologys a wonderful thing , said the matron . please leave your weapons with robert here..you can retrieve them when you leave . jennie looked angrily at george who shrugged his shoulders . ill leave it in the safe as soon as my itchy feeling disappears . i knew about it , said david , and i agree with georgeits all too weird just now . robert , the guard , led them to an oak door and ushered them into what must have been the drawing room originally . the room was comfortably furnished although looking a little worn , the heavy drapes drawn even in the daytime . tony wei , sitting calmly in an armchair , did not rise or even move as they came into the room . he sat impassively waiting for them to speak . his eyebrows went up in surprise as he saw george but quickly reverted to his look of apparent boredom . david introduced the three of them . i already have had the pleasure of meeting george , he said , hes a good golfer as i recollect . sergeant mudd to you wei , said george walking over to a chair against the wall and sitting down . david and jennie sat down in arm chairs facing the asian . jennie appraised the man .

i could do with another guy , george , as i cant keep a continuous eye on jennie on my own . other than that everything is fine . go ahead and bring someone else in , said george , makes sense when shes in hereford and not here . shell be in hereford all this week as will david.lot easier when shes here ! robbie what are your plans ? robbie stretched his long legs and took a pull of his beer . i think i should stay here until next week.see the new year in here . we have some business to discuss have to make some decisions concerning the active patrols i was telling you about . fine with me rob , said george . i have another question for you though , with that he told them about the interview in barnet with tony wei and specifically about the tattoos on the backs of his fingers . what is really strange is that they are similar to the tattoos on gema and wendy..would be helpful if we knew the significance . i could speak to paan if you like , said robbie laughing , we just managed to convince him that the phone is not some sort of evil spirit . thats a great idea but i would prefer if you dont mention anything about either gema or wendy to him . you know better than me that he seems to have some sort of relationship with them . right now the less anyone knows the better..even if he is in brunei . * dickie was restless , he paced from room to room aimlessly , unable to settle . he knew he was depressed and knew that a symptom of the medication he was taking was restlessness..that and a reduction in libido although he hadnt had the opportunity to put that to the test for quite some time . he still dwelled on the christmas dinner at georges couldnt get out of his mind the sight of his daughter striding by him to say hello to robbie mcelroyignoring himcouldnt believe that , all the time they were there , neither gema or wendy said so much as a word to him . he sat on the window seat gazing across the yard at the barn and gemas flat . the jag wasnt there , in fact he hadnt seen her or wendy for a few days now . nobody ever came to visit , except mrs. trenholme of course , but he couldnt exactly talk to her come to think of it who did he have to talk to ? no one reallycertainly not his old army buddies . his world seemed to be shrinking to the confines of the house . he was scheduled to be going into work but hadnt bothered . he needed a shave and a shower but couldnt be bothered . he didnt seem to have any energy..everything was a struggle , there didnt seem to be much of a point to anything anymore . he found himself in his bedroom looking into his full length dressing mirror . he frowned at the man looking back at him . he was developing more of a paunch and he was definitely getting a little thin on top . his pale blue eyes seemed tired.he looked and felt beaten..he needed a shave . he remembered that day on the beach with gema so many years ago . he remembered her pulling his head down into her neck and teaching him to breath in her spirit.he remembered , later , teaching her to kiss . his eyes filled with tears and he turned away . without thinking he opened his closet . how come it was so neat and tidy ? he didnt remember doing that , must be mrs. trenholme . boots and shoes , shined , neatly lined up on the floor , suits and jackets hanging on the rail , shirts and sweaters properly folded , in their pigeon holes . he took down a suit bag , laid it on the bed and unzipped it . inside the bag his dress blues , the dress uniform of the parachute regiment . he slowly dressed in front of the mirror . the dark blue pants with the wide red stripe were snug , even tight , the tunic tight around the middle but alright if he sucked in his gut . the staybright insignia , the wings on the high collar , the jacket buttons were still bright although he hadnt had the uniform out in over a year . the two rows of theatre ribbons looked colorful against the dark blue background . he rummaged around on a shelf in the closet until he found the maroon beret so proudly earned and worn by the paras . he squared it away and looked at himself in the mirror . momentarily the figure looking back at him was twenty years younger , twenty pounds lighter , well suntanned with a confident look in the twinkling blue eyes . quickly the image faded to be replaced with nothing to be liked . pasty faced , overweight , round shouldered , tired looking in an all too tight uniform that looked as though it had been rented rather than custom tailored at hobsons military tailors in london .

he took a chair from the bedside and , standing on it , reached into the back of the top shelf in the closet . finding the small suitcase he was looking for he placed it on the bed and opened it . inside a jumble of old photographs , nearly all from his years spent in the army , many from the paras but also many from 22 sas in borneo . he found photos of gema and himself taken in and around kuching . he found copies of the photos taken at long alat showing the team , the bodies and the grave with harry and peter . beneath the photos a cardboard box , an old shoe box . he lifted it out , it was heavy . removing the lid he opened up the oily package to reveal the browning high power issued to him so many years before . some of the bluing was worn where it had rubbed for years in the holster . it gleamed dully under its sheen of gun oil . he worked the sliderit still operated with a satisfying click . taking the empty magazine and a box of 9 mill hollow points he went back down to the study and thoughtfully poured himself a drink . * deep in terry iredales subconscious there was this incessant beeping . it sounded like a microwave at the end of its cycleno perhaps a mobile that needs re-charging.the alarm clock ? no that was more of a jangle . slowly he clawed his way out of the deep sleep . margaret lay asleep by his side , gently snoring . whatever it was it hadnt woken her up . it was driving him crazy , slightly muffled , high pitched and incessantdemanding . he jerked awake , leapt out of bed . the proximity alarmsthe heat sensors in the woods ! he ran downstairs and into the estate office . they had installed a series of sensors in the woods surrounding the property . they were numbered , wireless and detected either motion or a heat bloom of anything larger than a small animal . they were sited in such a way that progress could be recorded . station 4a had been triggered but nothing else , whatever had set if off was stationary . so much for the minders , he thought where the hell are they ? he quickly dressed , put on a white camouflage suit and balaclava . there was no one currently up at the house to call . he checked the system again..there was still no motion . whatever it was it was still stationary in the woods beyond the paddock to the south of the house . it could be the minders themselves of course . although they were aware of the system they were still not yet aware of each individual location . he quietly let himself out of the house and started to make his way around the perimeter of the property . it had snowed again , lying on the ground muffling any sounds he might make . he stopped , motionless , every ten paces or so..listening . he could feel the adrenaline coursing through his body . i might be getting old , he thought but i aint dead yet . he arrived at the beginning of section four and quietly made a right angled turn in the direction of the main house still stopping every few paces and listening . every now and again the moon peered out from behind the clouds lighting up the stark , bare winter woods . he looked for tracks in the moonlight but realized he would see nothing as it was only 4a that had been tripped . he knew that 4a was located only just in the tree line giving a good view of the south side of the house , the paddocks and study windows . he slowly moved forward soundless and almost invisible in his camo . ethereal in the dark the white paddock fencing came into view , he could see the outline of the big house in the distance . he knew he was within range of the sensor . he stopped , crouched down and waited for the moon to come out again , no sound except the rustling of some small night creature and the periodic call of an owl far in the distance . he willed his heart to slow down and waited . like the drawing back of a curtain the clouds revealed the moon lighting up the woods in its cold light . terry inched forward through the snow visually casting to both sides looking for some sort of human sign . he had almost given up , was ready to put the alarm down to some technical glitch when he saw it , an area of snow , close to the fence where someone had been lying . they had been there long enough for their body warmth to begin melting the snow and hadnt been gone too long as there was no fresh snow in the indentation . there were boot prints leading away to the east following the line of the fence . slowly and quietly he followed the trail away from the house . the blow took him behind the right ear . he fell face forward in the snow remembering a pair of black , lace up boots below white over pants . he remembered wondering why he hadnt heard anything before the blackness overcame him . * george and jennie were driving over to see dickie mason .

they had been out the night before in hereford , a nice meal and a few drinks in the green dragon . rather than drive home to eaton bishop george had stayed over at jennies . he wanted to see dick to warn him of what his intuition was telling him . jennie had decided to tag along as she didnt have to get together with dave rowden until lunchtime . pulling into the yard between the house and gemas flat they were faced with two police cars and an ambulance the red , blue and white flashing lights reflecting off the windows and wet cobble stones of the old yard . showing her warrant card they went in through the front door . mrs. trenholme was being interviewed in the kitchen by a uniformed officer ; she looked up her face tear stained . thank goodness youre here sergeant plowright..captain mason shot himself ! they stood in the entrance to the study . the room was being kept empty as the coroner had not yet arrived . they walked in , careful where they were putting their feet and making sure they didnt touch anything . jennie looked carefully at the scene trying to analyze exactly what had happened . dick was sitting in his armchair by the cold fire . he was dressed in his dress blues . it looked as though hed had a drink and perhaps spent some time looking at his favorite photo of gema and wendy as it was in his lap rather than on the mantelpiece . hed taken off the maroon beret and left it on the coffee table . hed placed the muzzle of the browning in his mouth and literally blown the top of his head off , most of which was on the ceiling . the gun had fallen to his side . george stood there the memories running through his mind like a fast forwarded film , malaya , sarawak , bradbury lines , harry , peter..even ohara ; the shit storm in kuching when dick had announced his intention to marry gema . hours spent on the golf course . hours spent in this very room . he looked at all the photos on the walls . he knew almost everyone there.he was in many himself . his thoughts were broken by jennie . what a bloody mess , she murmured , cant just assume suicide with what is going on , have to do a complete investigation . she called the station on bath st. and explained the situation to david . due to the relationship with harry downer and peter brenner she insisted she be made the investigating officer . send a crime unit over , she instructed , this is to be treated as a crime scene , a murder site until it is ruled out . it certainly looks like a suicide but we cant be sure . she took a last look around and strode purposefully down to the kitchen where mrs. trenholme was keeping herself busy by making tea for everyone . when did you last see mrs. mason and her daughter ? they were here together yesterday morning but the car wasnt here this morning and there were no fresh tire tracks in the yard so no one has been around since it started to snow . the coroners van pulled into the yard followed by the crime scene investigation unit . jennie went outside to talk them before they entered the house . i want this site treated as a crime scene . it certainly looks like a suicide but.no assumptions . doctor..when you get to it i want complete blood work on the deceasedyoure looking for antiarin and rhamnose . she saw the doctors eyebrows go up . i know thats a bit weird , she explained , but theres method in my madness believe me . she turned to the crime unit . look for a note and dust the whole place , its a crime scene until i say different . now where the hell are gema and wendy mason ? the pub was a warm , cozy place the flickering flames of the fire winking off the horse brasses on the walls . jennie sat in the nook with george and dave rowden . it seemed far away from the harsh realities of her job . she struggled to get the sight of dick mason out of her mind . how desperate do you have to be to take your own life ? how empty must the future look ? how alone must you feel ? we have the autopsy results on ohara , david interrupted her thoughts , he didnt drown although there was a little water in his lungs . he died from a heart failure brought on by a savage blow to the chest , he was dying when he entered the water . he had massive bruising on and in his chest . any sign of gema or wendy yet ? nothing yet but the commander is on the job..we should hear something soon . im heading home tonight , said george , i need to talk to robbiesome business stuff andhe was going to talk to paan about those tattoos . you coming with me jen or are you staying in hereford ?

i should stay here for a while george , she replied , need to get to the bottom of this mason thing and we need to talk to gema and wendy once we find them . it had started to snow again blowing in from the west . the land rovers wipers clacked rhythmically..he slid the transmission into four wheeled drive as the snow built on the road . luckily it wasnt too far to eaton bishop . he was looking forward to putting his feet up and spending time with his dogs . he was trying to figure out how the hell he had gotten involved in this crap when his mobile rang urgently . whereve you been george ? robbie asked , weve been trying to find you for a while . i had my phone off for a while rob.whats up ? terry was attacked in the woods . he was outside for quite a while before we found him . i have him in the house but hes a bit hypothermic , hes going to be ok though . nasty bruise on the side of his head but hes a tough old bastard . he seems more pissed that somebody was able to jump him rather than worrying about his head . im on my way home now , said george , get hold of orourkeget him over to the house quick time . i should be there in about fifteen minutes..its snowing pretty hard just now . the gates were closed when he arrived , he got out of the land rover and made to open them . stop right where you are , a soft irish brogue from the dark , a flashlight right in his face blinding him . sergeant majordidnt know if it was you or not , cant be too careful . its rafferty..remember me ? i was in b troop in the regiment . he stepped out of the dark , into the light cast by the cars headlights , dressed in full winter camo , mp5 slung across his chest . better be careful with that thing , said george smiling nodding at the weapon , someone might get their nose out of joint seeing something like that out in rural herefordshire , terry ok ? he seems fine , replied rafferty , band aid and a couple of drinks did the trick , having a hell of a job getting him to stay in bed for a while . old bugger thinks hes still thirty five . the dogs nearly knocked him over when he opened the door , robbie was waiting for him in the study . george walked straight down the corridor to the guest rooms . terry was sitting up in bed looking no worse for wear other than the band aid over his ear . he glared at george as he walked in . some bastard jumped me in the woods down by the paddock..never heard a bloody thing . he had some sort of op right in the tree line , must have been there for a while . he went on to explain the circumstances , george listening patiently thanking all the powers that another of his friends hadnt died . okyou stay where you are at least until tomorrow . well bring margaret into the house for a while . the boys are on the ball . rafferty scared the shit out of me at the gate , robbie i want to talk to you . they settled in the study the dogs content in front of the fire , george happy to be back in his familiar surroundings . i spoke to paan , said robbie , took me all my time not to burst out laughing , little bugger still hasnt figured out the phone , cant get it into his head that im here in england and hes in brunei.anyway heres how it is . the tattoos are peculiar to most of the indigenous tribes in borneo and mean different things . they are applied at different stages of their lives and are a status symbol . the kayan tattoo the fingers before they are ten years old and the girls add to them before they marry , over the wrists and up the arms as they achieve status . what is distinct about the kayan is that the finger tattoos identify not only the clan to which they belong but also the family . george sat there gazing into the fire . not sure what it all means but thanks anyway , what else is going on ? i spoke to another of my guys who tells me that the arrangements concerning the proposed patrols in the south are not going very well . apparently the problem is not with the oil company itself but more with the sultan . hes not happy with the notion of us taking on almost a military task but he admits he doesnt have the resources to do it himself . you might have to get involved yourself.youve played golf with him after allmaybe you can convince him . he doesnt seem to be concerned about the cost of it mind you he never is . i think hes more worried about the optics of it . george stood up and poured them both a drink . ive got some bad news for you robbie , he said quietly , dick mason shot himselflooks that way anyway . jennies taken over the investigation because of his links to the other guys . robbie just sat there shaking his head . what the hell is going on here , he said thickly .

ive no fucking idea , said george , what i do know is that it 's getting out of hand . its time to get proactive but i dont know how without getting afoul of the law . really dont even know where to start . cant just hold a defensive position for ever.more people could get hurt.and we dont know whyor who . we know zip ! ~ ~ ~ chapter 32 rattle a cage it was over a week before the autopsy results on dick mason were made available to the team . the conclusion was definitely suicide , no note had been found . jennies investigation had turned up that he had been clinically depressed for quite some time and had been trying out different medications . the body still had not been released to the familywhich begged another question.where was the family ? still no sign of either gema or wendy . considering the circumstances , the decision was made to keep the findings under wraps for the time being . winter had now set in with a vengeance , unusual for herefordshire . snow lay heavy on the higher ground and it was colder than it had been for years . the old timers said it reminded them of the winter of forty seven . jennie was still seconded to dave rowdens team , spending the week days working out of the bath st. station but her weekends with george in eaton bishop . the old house had become a home away from home for her . she had gotten used to the guards , in their white camo , that george insisted stay around until some sort of conclusion was arrived at . terry had healed and was his old self . he and margaret had moved back into the lodge down by the estate entrance . robbie was making rumblings about returning to brunei . george seemed to be more introspective , spent hours in the museum cataloguing his collection and running the business from the home office . conference call , said david walking into the office , commander wants to talk to us.he has some news i think . they sat huddled over the speakerphone . wendy mason has left the country , said the disembodied voice , took us a while to get the info . she bought a one way ticket to bandar via kuala lumpur or rather her mother did in her name , shell be there by now . thats a turn up for the book , said david , whats with the one way ticket ? either shes no intention of coming back or she doesnt know when . any sign of gema ? not yet jennie , she seems to have disappeared . jennie and david sat there looking at each other , the commander had hung up with the promise to keep them updated . time to rattle some cages , said jennie , im going to go see mrs. trenholme . she knows more than shes letting on . arriving at the masons she was surprised to see both a for sale sign outside the property and the green jag parked in the yard . she knocked on the door of the main house . when the door was not answered she walked across the yard to the old barn , climbed the steps and knocked on the door to the flat , gema came to the door . i assume this is not a social call , said gema , so how can i help you sergeant ? first thing you can do is invite me in , said jennie , its damned cold out here . id rather you didnt come into the flat , said gema aloofly . jennie had had just about enough of this woman her patience was running a little thin . let me tell you how it is mrs. mason . concerning the death of your husband nothing has , as of now , been concluded therefore this entire property is a crime scene . either you let me in right now or i will come back with a warrant that will allow us to search the entire property . i will also do my best to see that you are charged with obstruction of justice in which case your passport will be seized amongst other things , the choice is yours . sitting in the living room she looked around startled by what she saw . wheres wendy ? im not sure that i know sergeant.shes a grown woman and has her own life , she certainly doesnt check in with me all the time . jennie looked around the large room . strange living room , looks more like a gym , she said , i understand youre into martial arts mrs. mason ? before gema could answer she continued , let me help you out a bit . wendy is in brunei , bandar to be accurate . she flew out three days ago via kuala lumpur . the ticket was bought by you . she stood up to leave , im really getting quite bored with your evasiveness , it would be better if we continued this discussion down at the station . asked gema incredulously . nonothing of the sort , why would i do that ? youre just helping us with our enquiries .

his wife was in the kitchen preparing the evening meal , his two children hanging onto her skirts and peeping , from time to time , at this tall woman with the red hair that spoke their language and had the tattooed fingers of the kayan . you have come back many times wening . i have often wondered about that after that first time with gema . you seem quieter now..more at home . he squatted on the veranda , dressed solely in shorts his bare feet splayed out on the rough boards . most of his body was tattooed in the traditional way of the penan , that tribe renowned as the most ferocious in the days when head hunting was common . he ignored the chair that robbie had given him and gazed at the river seemingly at peace with his lot . his hair was grey now as he was in his mid forties but his eyes were still bright and his body obviously still hard . i am at home here , she answered in malay , more at home than in england . after that first trip into the orang ulu with you and my mother i came to see that kalimantan is part of my heritage , that being kayan was more important to me than being english . my mother understands this . now i speak malay and butak the language of the kayan . i follow , with my mother , our old traditions and pray to semangatan . we see very little of my father and i am sad to say we live apart . that is a sad thing , he said quietly , family traditions and family honor are the backbone of life for both the panan and the kayan . i never met your father although i have heard of him of course . as you know i spent several years with sergeant george , downer , brenner and , of course , robbie mcelroy . i guided them , i taught them to be patient , taught them to be quiet , taught them how to survive in my land . when mr. robbie came to brunei he offered me a job as scout and guide . he got me an indonesian passport and brought me to brunei..to this farm . now i have a wife , two children and a home . i have been on a plane . i have been in a helicopter . she looked at this rock of a little man . she was almost a foot taller than he but he exuded an inner strength , a calm , a faith in his heritage , he knew who he was ! your hands are hard and you are not fat , he said his bright , black eyes looking at her quizzically , have you kept up with your silat ? yes , she replied , more than that . i am guru muda as is my mother . i attend the dojo three times a week and enter into combat . i practice with my mother when i am at her home . it is my heritage as it is my mothers and all our forbears . heading downstream , back to bandar , in the heavy river traffic , the waning sun hot on her back , she reflected on the fact that she had not told paan about harry downer or peter brenner . ~ ~ ~ chapter 34 the interview march in england is not the greatest of months no matter where you are and hereford is no exception . the weather still comes rolling in from the grey atlantic and over the welsh hills . the countryside has not yet woken up to the fact that , in a few short weeks , it will be a riot of color as the daffodils , crocus and bluebells welcome another spring . gema reflected on this as she walked up bath street in the direction of the police station . she envied wendy being in sarawak or wherever she was . it was summer there.hot and humid . here she was dodging puddles and the spray from passing vehicles . everything seemed to be grey.grey weather , grey buildings , grey people even her mood was grey . what could the police possibly want with her ? her appointment was with jen plowright and david rowden . she remembered meeting them both at george mudds christmas dinner party and of course plowright had been around at the house the previous day . now she wished shed paid a little more attention to them at georges . forewarned is to be forearmed . she climbed the steps up into the police station happy to be out of the weather but the interior did nothing to brighten her spirits , a typical old fashioned station house badly in need of a coat of paint with an odor hard to define but not particularly pleasant . she was shown into a small conference room that had seen better days and still stank of stale cigarette smoke although most certainly the building had been a no smoking area for several years . the floor was covered in indiscriminate green linoleum long out of style and well worn by a multitude of feet . one of the fluorescents needed a new ballast and flickered annoyingly . a tall man in a hacking jacket and cavalry twills stood gazing out of the window his back to her as she entered the room . bloody depressing place isnt it gema ?

george what the bloody hell are you doing here ? she asked , for that matter what am i doing here too ? thought you might like a friendly face , he said laughingly . seriously though i`m actually a consultant or observer as i`m sure someone is going to explain . nothing to be afraid of just be sure not to drink the coffee..it`s disgusting . after a few minutes david and jennie entered the room and invited gema and george to sit down . before we start , said david , i just want you to know how sorry we all are concerning dickie . although i personally didn`t know him other than meeting him at christmas i know that george has known him for a long time as have you gema if i might call you that . i think at this time , in order to clear the air and put things into perspective so to speak we should properly introduce ourselves . my name really is david rowden but i`m a major in the 1st parachute regiment and attached to the anti-terrorist task force . sergeant plowright you already know and she also is temporarily attached to the same task force but with specific responsibility for the investigation of the deaths of peter brenner , harry downer , sergeant o`hara of the irish regiment and your husband . george you obviously already know but he is also attached to the same task force as a consultant . i`m sure you will understand that he has a lot to bring to the table . having said that do you have any questions for us gema before we proceed , perhaps youd like a coffee or a soft drink ? i dont want anything to drink thank you , she replied coolly , what i dont understand is what all this has to do with me and why im here ? let me set your mind at rest gema , said george from the window , you are not a suspect in any of this but you might well be able to help us . george is quite right , interrupted david , lets try and put things into perspective and then im sure youll understand why we feel we have to ask you some questions . in our line of work it is hard to accept coincidences on face value . im not saying they dont occur because they do but only after intense investigation to ensure there is no link or connection are they accepted . for the time being we will exclude the death of your husband as cause of death is still in the hands of the coroner . i apologize for sounding so callous but i have little option . brenner , downer and ohara are all dead . all three were murdered under unusual circumstances which we are unable to divulge to you . what we can tell you is that all three were in the same military troup in the sixties in sarawak and all three were known to you . to me that is beyond being coincidental . you are one of the common denominators , one of the links so hopefully you can help us . gema sat at the table staring at georges back as he watched the rain running down the window . george ive known you for over twenty years do you really think i have anything to do with this ? the idea is quite preposterous , please say something . gema , as i said before , you are not a suspect in this but you are a link and you might well have useful information for us that possibly you dont even know you have . we would be better off if we simply asked you some straight forward questions and allowed you to answer them in your own way . gema stood , gathered her coat , bag and gloves . i will have no part in this , im leaving now . if you wish to speak to me in the future please speak to my solicitor . i will leave you his name and number . jennie stood up and took up a position in front of the door . mrs. mason i warned you yesterday about being evasive now im warning you about your lack of cooperation and how that might be viewed . she looked at david who nodded his agreement . sergeant plowright is quite right gema . if you force me to it i shall invoke the terrorist act which allows me to hold you for an extended period of time without warrant or charge . i would much prefer not to have to do that . please gema ... .sit down and answer the questions , nobody is here to hurt you , cut in george , like you said weve known each other for a long time . gema sat down . ask your questions then . david , opening a leather bound note pad . what was your relationship with brenner , downer and ohara ? i never had a relationship as you put it . i vaguely knew them in sarawak as they were part of an sas team to which i was interpreter . as i remember it ohara used to get me tea . brenner and downer were part of a fire team .

i have hardly seen them since other than the occasions they got together to play golf with dickie , who was their old co and george of course . i saw all three recently at the reunion and saw both brenner and ohara at downers funeral . do you know a frank jennings ? jennings was also in sarawak . he was very friendly with ohara as i remember . he was at the funeral , said george . i didnt see him , not sure id recognize him anyway , she replied . asked george from the window . as i told sergeant plowright yesterday im not really sure . she went to brunei ... .bandar to be specific but i havent heard from her so she could be anywhere . shell be going up to cambridge in september to read asian studies . to prepare for this she is spending as much of her gap year as possible in indonesia studying the culture . what was your relationship like with your husband ? i dont understand the relevance of that question , she retorted . we cant lose sight of the fact that he was also in sarawak at the same time as the others so there is some relevance , said jennie . i think its common knowledge in this room that we were estranged . we hadnt lived together as man and wife for a long time . he had a hard time with his retirement and was severely depressed . he was on medication as im sure youll find out . do you know tony wei ? never heard of him , who is he ? its of little importance gema ... ..bit of a shot in the dark . george walked over from the window and sat down . the rain has stopped at least , he said to no one in particular . gema those little tattoos on the backs of your fingers have always fascinated me obviously they have some sort of significance . george you know my background , im a full blood kayan from kalimantan . these finger tattoos are called tedek and are applied when we are young , to male and female alike . they are added to as life progresses , as achievements are made . many men would be covered from head to toe particularly in the old days . they vary from tribe to tribe , clan to clan and family to family . david stood up and stretched his back . the coroner still has not made a determination concerning dickies death gema . under the circumstances we have no option but to treat the house and associated buildings as a crime scene . we will be putting a forensic team in there immediately . in fact theyll be there by the time you get home . sorry for the inconvenience as theyll be looking in every nook and cranny . i have to advise you not to touch or remove anything until you are advised that it is clear to do so . do you have anywhere else to stay for a short time ? i could stay at wendys flat in london for a few days . do me good to get away from here for a while anyway . leave the address and phone number with sergeant plowright just in case we need to get in touch with you . when she left the station it had , in fact , stopped raining but a chill wind was blowing up bath st. , george had offered to give her a ride home but she preferred to walk ; so many questions , the past rearing its ugly head , memories coming back in waves . her parents , life in the orang ulu ... ... .the jungles of what used to be borneo , the years spent in kuching with the missionaries , dickie her husband lying on a slab in the morgue . the one bright ray of light , her boundless love and pride for her daughter wening named after her grandmother . she strode back past the cathedral . she had nothing to fear and she would enjoy a few days in london ... chance to do a little shopping ... ..perhaps start looking for a tenant for the flat when wendy was up at cambridge . jimmy o`rourke dropped back another hundred yards or so . she was in easy sight now and seemed to be heading home . he looked forward to changing shifts with rafferty . he was cold , wet and bored and looking forward to a guinness in front of the fire in the pub . ~ ~ ~ chapter 35 the photo god i hate that police station its so bloody depressing , said jen putting down her pint . its a wonder you can get anyone to say anything in there , said george , its so damned dickensian . i heard , on the local grapevine , that it will be shut down eventually and a new station will be built over the river . ledbury is really too far away to service hereford . well she didnt have too much to say thats for sure , interjected david , a very cool customer . dont underestimate her for one moment , said george , remember ive known her on and off for over half her life . shes very bright , speaks five languages fluently and is as hard as nails . i wouldnt like to take her on !

in indonesia theres a form of martial arts called silat which originated with the tribes in the interior . downer was into it a little and took some basic training whilst he was in sarawak back in the sixties . apparently its very old , originated in the fifth or sixth century . its derived from the hunting styles of animals in the jungle and is common in families that have inherited cultural traditions . its not limited to physical offense and defense but really focuses on the spiritual which makes practitioners even more dangerous . like i said i really wouldnt like to take her on . jen took another pull on her pint . when i spoke to robbie mcelroy about her he said she was an enigma , a throwback to the past , literally a product of the jungle from a way of life that most of us could not possibly begin to even comprehend yet living in a modern society . her life must be one of constant push and pull . its all well and good , said david , but where the hell do we go from here ? she didnt tell us anything we dont already know , any ideas anyone ? george gazed into the fire the single malt warming his stomach . we cant ignore the fact that four people are dead therefore we have to assume a defensive posture for the time being . we should include jennings , even though hes in jail , myself , colonel gurney and robbie mcelroy . i think for the time being ill keep robbie in england . brunei can wait for the time being . he spoke for a few minutes , i have eyes on gema just now , that was jimmy orourke . she went straight home ... walked all the way . your forensic van was at the house so theyll be starting now . rafferty is keeping an eye on the place for a while , jimmy was whining about being cold , wet and thirsty . for now gema is the only common denominator we have , other than the people that might be still threatened which includes yours truly . david stood up , well back to the grind , we need to rattle her cage somehow . jen , i think you should head over to the masons perhaps take someone with you . let the forensics people do their thing but you have a really good snoop around starting with the flat over the barn . the techies will be focused on the house for now so you won`t be in each others way , i`m going to talk to the commander about getting some formal surveillance going , you don`t suppose she might have anything to do with the chinese do you ? george drove back to eaton bishop on his own , jen had taken her own vehicle over to the masons to conduct the search whilst the forensic team was on the property . a couple of uniforms were meeting her there to give her a hand . david was going to speak to the commander to both bring him up to speed and suggest some technical surveillance on gema mason . halfway home he pulled over to the side of the road and rummaged about in his briefcase . he was sure he had it with him . he found it tucked in with all his notes , the print of the photo he had taken of tony weis hands . after sitting and thinking for several minutes he turned the land rover around and headed back towards hereford . he was in no hurry and the rain had set in again , if it turned much colder it would snow . there was no room to park in the masons cobbled yard . two forensic trucks , gemas jag , jens car and a panda police car filled up the space . he parked up on the grass verge outside the gate . he ignored the main house and climbed the wooden stairs to the flat over the garage . a uniformed police woman answered his knock and let him in after asking for jen and showing his temporary warrant card . he entered into a tastefully furnished entrance hallway with a distinct oriental feel to it . passing through it he came to an open plan , super modern kitchen and breakfast room with large shuttered windows doubtless overlooking the courtyard . wheres sergeant plowright ? he asked the uniform . through that door in the main room sir , she answered . he opened the door and just stood there in amazement . i told you what it was like george didnt i ? said jen , she was sitting on a cushion at the far end of the room going through the contents of a camphorwood chest of drawers . i know you did jen but this is bloody amazing , i had no idea it was like this . the room was at least fifty feet long and perhaps half of that wide . looking up , the exposed beams of the original barn roof could be seen in the gloom . they had to be at least twenty feet clear . two slowly moving fans moved the air . the floor gleamed , a huge , shiny expanse of polished teak with the odd piece of soft furniture scattered around the perimeter . two of the walls were solid sheets of glass looking out onto farmland , now veiled in grey rain .

on one wall a rack storing a selection of parangs , several small knives , lengths of bamboo , a flute and several drums of different sizes . at the far end , just as jen had described , a small shrine , a tiny white skull , a small pile of pebbles , a drumstick made of some black wood , a couple of small wooden bowls and a large woven basket . i had no idea it was like this , its like her own personal dojo , its almost creepy . certainly not out of place in indonesia , ive seen them myself ... ... but in hereford ? in the bedroom george ... through there , she nodded towards a closed teak door . fair warning ... ..shes spitting bullets about our search ... ..cant blame her i suppose . i would probably feel the same , why are you here anyway ? i had a bit of a brainstorm on the way home . dont really know why i didnt think of it back at the station ... ... ... ... ... better late than never i suppose . knocking on the door and not getting any response he pushed open the door and walked into the room . she was sitting on a hard chair staring out of the window at the ever worsening weather . she looked up , i thought you were my friend george . i was wrong , my world is upside down and i dont know what ive done . i am your friend gema and i dont believe youve actually done anything . what i do believe is that you can help us clear up this mess . i dont know but i do believe that information exists that can send us off in the right direction and then we can all get on with our lives . she didnt cry , her face remaining expressionless staring out of the window . george could see her reflection as it started to get dark outside . she stood up and turned on a couple of lamps that barely lit the corners of the sparsely furnished room . she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him , he , in turn , looked at her feeling sad . i wonder how she feels inside ? he thought , shes part jungle animal and part professional interpreter . shes equally at home in the jungles of borneo or the drawing rooms of herefordshire ... ... ... ... ... .or is she ? shes probably far more at home in indonesia than here . the only thing keeping her here in england is the fact that wendy is going up to cambridge . im sure , if it were not for that , she would live somewhere in the far east . he looked carefully at her . she was still a beautiful woman . she had to be forty five but didnt look a day over thirty . shed cut her hair short and there was just a touch of grey at the temples . her hands , clasped together in her lap , were hard and calloused out of character with her sensual appeal . her face was calm but she seemed tense like a coiled spring . i have something to show you gem , he said quietly , i dont know what it means , if anything at all , but its something perhaps you can help me with . he took the photo of tony weis hands out of his inside pocket and held it out to her . after the attack on the base at tern hill which , as you now know , involved sergeant ohara we picked up a number of people who are now being held and will be charged under the terrorist act . this is just one of the photographs we took of one of the individuals ... ... ... ... ..actually , as you can see , the backs of his hands . she took the photo and taking it over to one of the lamps she held it in the light . looking at it she immediately took the spiritual position of a guru muda of the silat . she focused on her centre and did not allow her feelings or thoughts to manifest themselves physically in any way . its hard to say , she whispered , the tattoos are faded and the photo is quite small . i would say they probably belong to someone from the kalimantan . i couldnt say anymore than that . thats what i thought , said george , he insists hes from viet nam and actually has a legitimate vietnamese passport . we think hes some sort of sleeper attached to the chinese . i told him , to his face , i thought he was indonesian . i could probably help you much more george if i could see his hands close up perhaps even speak with him ... ... ... ... ... im assuming its a him ? yes its a him , replied george , ill make the suggestion to the people running the investigation . you going to be here long jen ? he asked , walking back into the great room . a few hours i think george , its going to take a couple of days for us to go through the whole damn place . you going to stay in town or come out to eaton bishop ? better i stay here , i only have to come back first thing in the morning . much as i would like to come out there and fool around , she said quietly , smiling at him .

he bent down to the cushion she was squatting on and said very quietly , i managed to seriously rattle her cage i think . rafferty is outside keeping an eye on the house and we have a warrant for the gpo to put a tap on the phones here and over in the house . we already have ears on her cell phone . ~ ~ ~ chapter 36 brecon walk i have a couple of days off , she said , like to do anything particular or just hang out ? i thought you hadnt finished the search of the masons yet ? the uniforms are still at it but if i dont get a bit of a break soon im going to go nuts with it all . he thought for a moment , you ever been to brecon ? its a spectacular little place and not too much of a drive from here . thats in wales isnt it ? certainly is ... ..just over the border , one of the jumping off spots for the beacons . i could do with something different . sounds like a nice change , what do we need ? just some good walking gear plus warm , layered clothing , the weather can be pretty iffy this time of year . as they drove into the village in the land rover jen could see that george had been quite right . the village was quite spectacular , totally unspoiled , the castle and church looming in the centre . the castle and church were built in ten something or other , he said , theres a terrific military museum here run by the welsh borderers . they have several of the victoria crosses won at rourkes drift . the village has a military history which is why i know it so well . its actually in the brecon beacons which is now a national park but still used by the military for extreme training . its used by the sas , the marines and any other unit that has the balls to try it , he said laughingly , well stay at the brecon castle hotel and maybe take a bit of a walk tomorrow . jennie was charmed . the hotel , she found out , was the oldest in wales and actually built into the walls of the ancient castle . the views were spectacular being on the banks of the river and , in the distance , the menacing beacons glistening under the late snow , pen fan , one of the highest mountains in wales starkly outlined against the sky . that evening the hotels restaurant and bar lived up to its reputation for the best of local fare and cider that creeps up on you , if youre not too careful . later that night curled up in the huge four poster bed , sans tee shirt , georges muscular body tea spooned against her back she said sleepily so what about tomorrow then ? staying as we are seems like a pretty good idea to me , pressing her rear into his body . we can go for a walk if you like , said george in her ear , but well have to be careful . the weather at this time of year can change in a heartbeat . well stay in the lowlands . i know a route that is only ten or twelve miles thatll take us through some of the woodlots and by some of the waterfalls . they can be really pretty this time of year . we could be back come late afternoon . sounds good to me , she whispered , providing youre not in too much of a hurry to get up in the morning . you can be a real slut sometimes , he said rolling on top of her . i know , she said opening her legs to welcome him , thats one of the reasons you love me . * its not so tough in here , she said as they hiked by a roaring waterfall . they had seen no one over the first few miles . the mountain visitors centre was closed for the winter and there would be few casual hikers . this is the easy part of the park , he called back to her , the military doesnt come down here . they operate over the tops . its really tough , maybe the toughest in the world . for the sas only ten percent actually qualify , the final test is called the endurance . its forty miles with a fifty five pound pack plus water , food and weapon , has to be finished in twenty hours . if you qualify here you then go to the jungle warfare school in brunei which is where i finished my military service as part of the training cadre . its a tough go ! ! the trail , although easy , was now closing in . to one side the woodlot came right to the edge of the path , the pines seemingly planted quite close together , the bright , winter sunlight barely reaching through to the thick ferns below . shadows seemed to move in the gentle breeze . to the other side a fairly steep rock escarpment soared upwards of forty or fifty feet . rivulets of water ran down what looked to be an easy climb even for her . his voice echoed off the rock face , robbie loves to come in here and run . were getting too old to do the higher courses but we can still manage the ten miles or so in here .

we try not to come in the summer as theres plenty of hikers in here coming from brecon . her phone vibrated gently in her jacket pocket . hang on a minute george my phones going , no bloody peace ! hi its david , where the hell are you ? im out on the beacons with george , well be back later today . i think we have the link ... ..a connection . one of the uniforms found something tying gema mason to brenner and downer . give me a bell when youre back in town . ~ ~ ~ chapter 37 the link they sat in the conference room in the bath st. station the only saving grace being the starbucks in front of each of them . the commander sat at the head of the table , jen , david and george down one side . david why dont you lead us off , said the commander , then we can go round the table . david had in front of him an old , legal sized envelope . he held it up for them to see . written on the front in faded ink were the words sarawak 1965 . one of the uniforms found this envelope in a desk drawer in the flat over the barn , it looks as though there had been no effort to hide it . he tipped the envelope up and a batch of old color photos , fading with age , spilled out onto the scarred table . some of these are pretty ugly but pass them around then well go round the table . george sat quietly , hands clasped lightly in front of him on the table , fighting an awareness that he didnt want to admit . i dont need to see them , he said tightly , i took some of them ! after they had been around the table david took them all and pinned them on a corkboard on the wall facing the table . would you care to fill us in as best you can george , said the commander . they are recce photos of a village in borneo called long alat in 1965 . we had received a report that a massacre had occurred , probably the indonesians . most of the photos were taken from the air as you can see . based on the photos a reconnaissance team from the 22 sas was inserted to investigate on the ground , i commanded that team . it comprised of myself , robbie mcelroy , brenner and downer . the close up photos on the ground , were taken by myself . brenner and downer accompanied me through the village , or what was left of it , while mcelroy provided cover from an observation post which is why he is in none of the shots . the spent shells in the photos were 5.56mil and had obviously been left deliberately . in those days all sides tended to police their areas in order to leave no clues . these shells were particularly worrying for us as we were under the impression that the sas were the only group using the new armalite ... obviously we were wrong . due to the fact that there were wild boars all over the place we opted to bury the two bodies you can see in the photos , the two covered in tattoos . the photo of brenner and downer standing over their grave was taken by me . it was concluded later that the village had been singled out in order to stir up political unrest in the area . it was also concluded that the area was so isolated that local knowledge of its very existence had to have been provided and that it could have been attacked with virtual impunity . i remember that the propaganda was disseminated via a newspaper controlled by the indonesians . gema mason was from that village . many of the inhabitants would have been her relatives . i can only assume that dickie kept these photos and gema found them . it seemed a collective sigh came from the table . my god , said david , if she saw those photos she could easily come to the conclusion that the 22 sas was responsible , particularly that one of brenner and downer . george would she have known who comprised the rest of the team ? absolutely she would sir , replied george . therefore the only thing she doesnt know is who is on the other end of the camera ... ..george or robbie , mused jen , bloody wonderful ! jen its actually less of a worry now if our conclusions are correct , said george . hes quite right you know , jen , said the commander , if our assumptions are correct we know who the enemy is . we have eyes on her constantly plus her phones and mobile are monitored . we immediately should increase surveillance on george here , robbie mcelroy , colonel gurney and jennings , said david . you dont have to worry about robbie or myself , said george , my own people are taking care of that . mi5 should keep an eye on the colonel and jennings should be put into isolation if you havent already done that . i think we have an opportunity here but we have to take a much broader view . as i sit here looking at these photos there is another common denominator ... ... the tattoos ! !

there are tattoos on the bodies in the photos , there are tattoos on gemas hands and there are tattoos on the hands of tony wei . they all look similar to me , must be more than pure coincidence . i should tell you that i have already shown the photo of weis hands to gema . she admitted that she thought they were from kalimantan but thats as far as she went . we need to get gema and wei in the same room and look for reaction . everything we have so far is purely either circumstantial or an assumption on our part , said jen . the commander stood up and looked more closely at the photos on the wall . he paced up and down scratching his head . do we think she would be capable of this ? he asked the group in general . absolutely , said george , remember that her background is traditional , that family and clan honor would have been drilled into her by her parents . she is also a grand master in silat a deadly form of martial arts . go and have a look in her flat if you want some insight into that . also , dont lose sight of the fact that shed never even seen a white man until she was fifteen or so . she was brought up on stories of tribal battles and clan feuds . she also has some sort of a relationship with an old border scout called paan who robbie has known for years and is , coincidentally , employed by mudd international in borneo , probably where she got a lot of her artifacts . they sat looking at each other mulling over the startling facts that had just come to light , the photos leering at them off the wall , evidence of an atrocity twenty years old . i think jens right , said the commander , we need to stir things up a bit . didnt she say she wanted to go up to london ? lets accommodate her . heres what i think we should do . firstly we dont pick her up , take copies of the photos and replace them immediately where they were found . i dont want her suspicious at all . david i want you to elicit her help with identifying the tattoos so get her into see wei in barnet . ill arrange it with mrs. thompson ... ... the lady with the big gun , he said laughingly . george i want you to get robbie to talk to this paan fellow and see if hes ever sent her anything , particularly that black poison stuff we saw in your museum and which was found in both brenner and downer . jen you stay in hereford for now , perhaps start catching up on the paper work . well get together again here after davids taken gema to see wei and perhaps by then we will have some more information from this old border scout in borneo or sarawak or whatever they call it . ~ ~ ~ chapter 38 jungle phone george , jen and robbie relaxed in the drawing room of the old house . the drapes were drawn , the log fire crackling in the fireplace , dogs stretched out on the mat almost nose to nose one of them twitching as he chased rabbits in his dreams . jen lay on the couch , head in georges lap . robbie sat by the fire in an ancient but comfortable leather chair , bowmore in hand . hope to god he calls soon , said george , im getting tired of waiting , robbie laughed and took another sip of the single malt . hes probably still plucking up courage . he really hasnt figured the phone out yet . you should have seen him the first time we took him up in a helicopter . i thought he was going to crap himself . anyway i left a message with the office to , one way or another , get him on the damn phone ... ..theyll call soon dont worry . anyone want another drink ? robbies soft scottish burr seemed somehow in keeping with the old paneled room , the fire and the dogs . the jangling of the phone brought everyone upright tipping jen onto the floor . you pick it up robbie ... ..its probably bandar . mcelroy , he said into the phone , hellooo mrs. mcdonald how are things over there ? are you surviving without me ? have you got paan tied down yet ? good put him on . he smiled and looked at the other two , funny little man he is . he broke into fluent malay . george periodically just nodded whilst jen tried to look interested . they talked back and forth for over fifteen minutes . robbie then spoke more with mrs. mcdonald and gave her some instructions . he finally hung up the receiver and poured himself another measure of his favorite . he confirmed that he has periodically sent stuff to gema ... ..ostensibly for her museum and that includes small amounts of antiarin toxicaria , in fact hes just in the process of putting another package together for her . i told him there was no problem but to just go ahead . he now knows about brenner , downer and dick . hes really upset thats why i was so long on the phone .

he said to say to you that he will pray to semangatan and look for their spirits . he also said hed just seen wendy . apparently she was in to see me not realizing i was still in england . she obviously doesnt know about her father . shes still in bandar he thinks . as you heard , in line with the commanders instructions , i asked mrs. mcdonald to put together an affidavit for us concerning what he had sent to england ... ..just in case we ever need something like that . so thats that for now , im for me bed ! ! ~ ~ ~ chapter 39 gema heads east gema headed east on the m40 the powerful jag pulling her towards london . there was no way she was going to stay in hereford whilst the authorities invaded her privacy by searching both the house and the flat . shed quickly packed a bag and left . wendys apartment on gloucester place just behind selfridges in the west end , although small , was quite adequate for the time being , wendy being away . the bath st. people knew full well where she was going and had no idea of her other place or so she hoped . it was a chance she was going to have to take . she fully expected to eventually receive a call from george concerning the stunning photo he had shown her . her mind raced at the thought of meeting the person who owned the hands in the old photograph . her mind went back to the photo . hopefully shed given george no indication whatsoever of any sense of recognition although even now she couldnt be sure . the whole idea was farfetched even ludicrous . she couldnt even be sure if the photo was authentic or when it was really taken . several cars behind her orourke keyed his mobile while rafferty was driving . shes heading up the m40 towards london just now , he said to george , do you want us to stay with her all the way ? thats affirmative , said george , shell be heading towards the daughters flat in the west end , stay with her . it shouldnt be too difficult to keep an eye on her there although i might have to send you some help as that building has both a front entrance onto gloucester place and a small garden in the rear giving onto some mews . i dont think shell bolt if she makes you , wheres she going to go anyway ? be prepared for her to move though as eventually shes going to hear from major rowden . fortunately shed been able to find a parking spot on gloucester place which was a stroke of luck although if she was going to be here for a few days shed have to find some 24 hour parking for the jag . unfortunately orourke had not been so lucky and had had rafferty drop him off at a spot where he watched her key the front door of what had , at one time , been a fine georgian townhouse long converted into a number of tiny flats . rafferty was circling the block impatiently waiting for a parking spot to open up . even so theyd have to think of something to allow them to keep the eyes on as long as was required , he keyed the mobile again . got a problem here george , shes in the flat but were vulnerable here . im sticking out like a sore thumb and rafferty is still driving around looking for somewhere to park . she couldve walked out of the back door for all i know . ok jimmy ... .major rowden anticipated this problem . let me know exactly where you are now . the major is going to send one of his lads down with a small tracker and receiver . get the tracker onto the car ... under a bumper or in a wheel well or something like that . the receiver has a range of about a mile so get yourselves into a small hotel within range and keep an eye on her that way . anything happens with rowden well let you know , its the best we can do . gema had unpacked her bag and had eaten when the phone in the flat buzzed its quiet tone , she picked it up . major rowden here , im following up on your discussion with george mudd concerning having another look at those tattoos he showed you , thought perhaps we could get together . too fast , too fast , she thought . ive only been here a couple of hours or so . they must be following me ... ..but why go to the trouble ? of course anything i can do to help , she answered . why dont i pick you up in the morning then ? i dont think that will work for me major , she said , im going to be round and about tomorrow as i have a few errands to run . why dont i just meet you somewhere ... ... ... ... .ideally a tube station , crazy to try and drive around in london . david thought for a moment , georges fellas are keeping an eye on her , shouldnt be a problem . ok then ... .ill pick you up at the totteridge lane tube station ... thats up the northern line .

in a blur of action mrs. thompson was down behind the desk and robert was sliding down the wall a look of surprise on his face . david stood in the middle of the lobby looking at gema with a look of horror . they could see her mouth some words as there was no audio . he put his hand in his pocket and handed her his car keys and then knelt down in front of her . she said something else to him then laid her gloved hand on his throat and kept it there as he slid quietly to the floor . she then looked directly at the camera and smiled wistfully ... ..she knew she was being watched . she reached over the desk got the automatic pistol out of the centre drawer , checked roberts pulse and took his keys out of his pocket . placing the pistol in her briefcase and using roberts keys she opened the door into the living room . the different cameras then picked up the rest of the action . she walked into the living room , said something to tony wei sitting in front of an electric fire . the two of them then walked out of the house , got into davids car and drove north back up friern barnet lane . theres going to be the hell to pay over this , said the commander , two dead , a terrorist in the wind and we just let it happen , luckily davids going to be ok , although that doesnt help either mrs. thompson or robert the minder . jennie had wound the tape back yet again and was focused on gema as the action unfolded . i just cant believe how fast she is , ive never seen anything like it . they didnt have a chance , why do you suppose she left david alive ? she had no alternative but to assume that both the old lady and robert were armed . she knew that david was unarmed and no match for her so she had to deal with the other two first . she had time to take care of david , said george , there are some other assumptions we can reasonably make too although now im getting a bit skeptical . firstly she either knows shes not going to get caught or she doesnt care . if its the latter , that makes her doubly dangerous . she knew we would see the tapes ... ... ... ... .she looks almost apologetic . ive already heard from gower st. , david said , theyre taking over although what they think theyre going to do i have no idea . theyll do all the usual things ... ..put watchers on the airports , bus terminals , ports , train stations etc . theyll put the alarm out to interpol who in turn will work with the european security groups but , george , if youre right about her not caring , its all irrelevant isnt it ? the question is ... ..where the hell did she go ... ..and why ? the house in hereford , the flat in london her gym and her dojo are under surveillance so she cant go there . if she has another bolt hole were screwed . well only be able to react to her . we should get a watch on her credit cards and freeze her bank accounts ... .that might slow her down a bit ... ..other than that i really dont know . ~ ~ ~ chapter 42 chipping norton driving well within the speed limit in davids car gema drove up the barnet high road pulling off at the barnet tube station where she had left her rental before taking the underground the one stop south to meet david . during the short drive tony had tried to talk to her . shut up , dont say another word , she spat at him in malay to his surprise . pulling into the short stay she parked close to her rental fiesta . opening the passenger side door she told tony to sit in the seat with his hands in front of him , wrists together . when he argued with her she took the pistol out of the briefcase and in malay , they know who i am and i doubt very much we can get out of the country in any conventional manner . there is no advantage or disadvantage to me killing you so dont make me make the choice . he put his wrists in front of him and she tied them up using duct tape . if you speak i will shoot you . if you try to get out of the car i will shoot you . if you try to get anyones attention i will shoot you . nod your head if you understand . he nodded she got into the drivers side after leaving davids keys in the glove compartment of his car , started up the fiesta and drove out into the traffic . * there was little point in either george or jennie staying in london . their prime suspect was in the wind and mi5 were now fully involved so they had driven back to eaton bishop and the security of georges home . they were back in their favorite room with robbie and the dogs . robbie had seen the surveillance tapes and was as amazed as the rest of them ... ..perhaps more so because of his previous relationship with gema .

he repeatedly played the tapes over and over hoping to see something that would explain the why of everything . gower st. wants to put a security detail on me , said jennie , but i think id be better off just staying here . perhaps i could just take a short leave of absence . david will be down here shortly , said george , hes been released from observation and seems to be no worse for wear . happy to be alive i think . orourke and rafferty are back here and im going to move jimmy into the house for the time being . when david shows up ill have him talk to the commander . frankly i would feel a lot better about things if you stayed down here . i thought i knew her , whispered robbie , off and on ive helped her and her girl for twenty five years . now ive just seen her kill two innocent people without any apparent thought and , for reasons totally unknown to us , snatched a terrorist who had links to ohara and jennings . just gives me a bloody headache . we have to assume she killed harry and peter because of the photo she found . im not sure why she would have killed ohara ... ... ... ... ..not that hes any great loss . now shes in the wind and knows shes been on camera . nothing to lose really , mission accomplished ... ... ... ... ... ... .almost . lying in bed later that evening he rolled over to look at jen , scared ? a little , she said , ive never even dreamt of anything like that . she killed two people almost effortlessly and she might be coming here . you dont have to worry , he said , ill keep you here i dont care what your bosses say . we have around us some of the best fighting men in the world . theyre in and around the house . they all have experience in multiple fields ... ..they are the best of the best , nothing to worry about . you know i think robbie was getting a little pissed . i was watching the bowmore going down . one things for sure ... ..nothings ever scared him . jen propped her head up on her hand the sheet falling off her shoulder to expose her breasts , you know i think he was more disappointed in her than anything else . * quite some time ago when things started to get really bad between her and dickie gema had rented a small house in chipping norton just south of banbury . she had needed to get away . quite often he thought she was off working in some far off place when in actuality she was in chipping ... ..not too far away , not because she was having affairs or anything like that , that would be to dishonor her family , but more to get away from his depression and the effect it had on her . now in the fiesta she headed west on the north circular to pick up the m40 that would take her to banbury and finally to chipping norton . it was already getting dark . by the time she arrived it would be pitch black and there were no street lights . she had the radio tuned into a 24 hour news station just in case there was anything about the activities in barnet although she doubted it ... ..after all it was supposed to be a safe house ... ... ... ... ... not that safe she thought to herself . tony sat quietly in the passenger seat , must have made an impression , she thought . eventually she turned south on the banbury road with only another twenty minutes to go . it was by now completely dark with thick cloud cover , which suited her purpose . finally she turned into the driveway of a rather isolated house and , operating the garage door opener she had in her pocket , she drove straight into the garage and closed the door behind them . she sat in the pitch black of the garage . let me repeat myself , she said in malay , if you do anything that i deem incorrect i will shoot you . nobody knows where we are and neither do you . the house is isolated and quiet . you will sit quietly in that seat until i tell you to move . for now she held all the cards ... ... whoever she might be . leaving him sitting she got out of her side and unlocked the door from the garage to the kitchen . she made him stand up , undid his belt and pulled his trousers down around his ankles . shuffle into the kitchen , she said . pulling a kitchen chair out from under the table she made him sit down . leaning against the kitchen counter she threw two plastic ties into his lap . tie your ankles to the chair legs , she said conversationally . do it yourself bitch , he hissed at her in malay . at least youve answered one question for me , she said . like lightening she was across the space between them and swiped him across the ear with the heavy automatic pistol . the chair and tony crashed to the floor accompanied by his yell of pain . please get up and tie your ankles to the chair legs tony ... ... i really dont want to have to hurt you again over such a minor thing .

theres a good boy , as he did as he was told . she took more tape out of a kitchen drawer and taped him around the chest to the chair , he couldnt move ... ... ... ... ..he could hardly breathe . before i make us some tea theres one other thing i think i should do in case theres any mess . she disappeared into the garage and came back a few moments later with a large folded tarp . she pulled the table out of the way and spread the tarp on the floor . with difficulty she heaved tony on the chair into the centre of the tarp . thats a lot better , she said , i hate the thought of having to clean up . now well have some tea , weve had a rather exciting day . ~ ~ ~ chapter 43 family david arrived the following morning looking none the worse for wear . the dogs announced his arrival but only after the call from the main gate and an ongoing progress report of the guards stationed in and around the property . terry had the kitchen set up like an observation post and was online with each sensor on the property and in contact with each guard . place looks nice and quiet and pastoral , said david settling in the drawing room with a cuppa brought in by marjorie . dinna kid yoursel , muttered robbie , place is like a bloody fortress . she never had any intention of killing me you know . she said to tell everyone shes sorry . she told me it wouldnt hurt , that i would just go to sleep for a while . they found my car and the keys up in barnet in the tube parking . she must have had another car stashed up there . shes thought everything out . she said to me ... ..when all this is over have paan look at the tattoos . ive no idea what shes talking about . i do , said george . firstly the fact that she gave you the message and didnt send it to either robbie or myself means shes coming after us . shes referring to paan an old border scout of ours . hes penan but understands these things . secondly ... ..she doesnt expect to live through it . jesus ... ..whats going on ? * gema spent the night in the kitchen wide awake exerting mind over matter . there would be plenty of time for sleep later . tony slept intermittently his head falling to his chest . as the sun came up she closed the blinds on the small kitchen window plunging the room back into darkness . out of the briefcase which she had brought in from the car she took half a dozen candles placed them on the table and lit them with some difficulty due to the thin leather gloves she still wore . to tonys amazement she placed in front of the candles a small white skull , a small pile of pebbles and a wooden bowl . the candles flickered giving the whole scene a macabre look . she knelt in front of the table and began to pray in a language that seemed vaguely familiar but which he didnt understand . she started to sway , as though to an unseen drum . she came to her feet and , in rhythm to the drum in her head , removed her jacket , shirt and bra . she swayed in front of him almost trancelike . the sweat beaded and rolled down between her breasts . she held her gloved hands , palms together and continued to pray . she moved out of his line of sight and he could hear the rustling . when she came back in front of him she was quite naked . he couldnt help but gasp at the sight of her magnificent body . she writhed sinuously in front of him , her gloved hands like serpents in front of his face . he could almost hear the drum that was obviously sounding in her head . the sweat poured off her and dripped onto his knees as she danced right in front of him . slowly one by one she removed the thin , kid leather gloves from her hands and then squatted in front of him almost touching his knees . she turned her hands out , palms to her own face . welcome susilo my brother , she whispered in butak . tonys eyes rolled back in his head as he fainted . hours later she had showered , made herself some breakfast and changed back into a sweat suit and trainers that she had upstairs in her bedroom . her body glowed from the searing heat of the shower and her hair still glistened , she felt at peace with herself and thankful to her god semangatan for leading her to the truth . tony slumped in the chair . he had refused anything to eat and the stink of fear was around him . she had taken an hour to explain to him what had occurred after he left the village , whilst the wintry sun climbed in the sky . she had refused him the opportunity to speak and had had to remind him of that request a couple times much to his discomfort . the fact that you no longer understand butak is to your dishonor so i shall speak to you in malay .

however there is now a change to our agreement . if you dissatisfy me i most certainly will not shoot you but i will hurt you in the tradition of the kayan and the orang ulu , nod if you understand . i have had twenty years to conclude what happened to our mother , our father , our grandparents and the rest of our clan at long alat . i have seen photographs of both my father and grandfather lying dead on the soah . i have seen a photograph of their grave . i have brought myself peace concerning the other people in the photographs . i have visited their very grave and prayed to semangatan for them . the terrorists needed a guide . long alat was unknown to the outside world . only someone that knew could guide them up the river . only someone that knew could advise them of the best way to attack the village , that someone could only be you . for years i wondered who it could possibly be . that question was answered the moment i saw the photograph of your hands . for that , my brother , you must pay . semangatan and the spirits of my ancestors and parents demand that kayan honor be maintained . tradition requires that you pay the penalty and the penalty be handed out by your closest relative . that is me my brother , thanks to your dishonor i am your only relative ! the parang whistled through the air , a silver blur in the darkened room . his head jumped off his shoulders and rolled on the floor with an obscene thump the eyes staring as though in surprise . blood spurted up out of his neck to be caught by the tarp . twenty years later it is done , she thought , my honor and the honor of my family is reinstated . now what will be will be , it doesnt matter anymore . ~ ~ ~ chapter 44 hereford shes back ! shes in the flat in hereford , i saw her in the window , the watcher reported on his mobile . her jag is still in london though , said david , its still in the parking on wardour st. theres a blue fiesta in the courtyard . i dont know , said the watcher , i didnt see anyone arrive . i was in the copse at the back of the house , you cant see the courtyard from there . suddenly there she was ... .in the window . dont do anything at all , ordered david , im bringing in a special forces team . shes killed at least five that i know of , no need to risk anyone else . withdraw to a spot where you can eyes on the vehicle . ill call you once we are in position . an hour later an assault team had been sent down from credenhill joined by david rowden , george and robbie . they had taken up positions around the house . should we give her the opportunity to come out quietly ? said george , or do we just go in guns blazing ? well give her the chance , said david , ill call her . might be better coming from me , said george . the phone rang for quite some time . gema ... .its me george . were outside ... robbie , david , myself and a complete sas team . its almost like full circle , please come out . george ... ..i am first and foremost kayan . i have done what i set out to do . semangatan is satisfied . the honor of the kayan and my family is satisfied . paan can explain . it was my brother ! there was the sound of a shot and the rattling of the phone as it hit the floor . the scene upon entering the flat would be seared on his brain . it might fade with time but , with a little scratching , would easily come to the surface . the magnificent room was softly lit by the lamps in the corners . the expanse of teak floor gleamed like it had been recently oiled . spread eagled in the middle of the floor was the totally naked , headless body of susilo . on the altar at the far end of the room the skull and pebbles had been replaced . the small wooden bowl was back in place as was the little black drumstick . in front of the altar , on the floor , the woven basket held the head of susilo the eyes staring in surprise ... ... . to one side the blood stained parang . she had fallen on the bedroom floor , mrs. thompsons gun and the phone close by . she was dressed in traditional kayan dress . she had placed the pistol in her mouth and pulled the trigger . her magnificent body seemed relaxed on the floor her beautiful face forever marred by the 9mm bullet . ~ ~ ~ chapter 45 a jog at brecon its over darling , said george , the only positive thing to come out of the whole mess is that i met you . yes but five people died in the process , she replied i have to believe they would have died anyway im sorry to say , he said . orourke and his crew have gone back to ireland .

im convinced terrys sorry its all over , he was enjoying the excitement . robbies going to hang around for a few days then hell be going back to brunei . so itll be back to business as usual i think . she got up off the couch , poked the fire and threw on another log . i think im going to find that just being a copper in hereford is going to be a bit boring now , she said . i was going to talk to you about that , he said . why dont you just quit your job , marry me and well live happily ever after ? i thought you liked me just for my red hair and other attributes , she said laughing . seriously , he said , will you marry me , jen ? you dont necessarily have to quit your job but you would make me very happy if you were to accept . theres someone i would have to ask first , she said . ive already asked her , he replied , she said it would be okay . * robbie before you scoot back to bandar howd you like to drive down to brecon ? last time we were there everything went sideways . sounds fun to me georgie , havent been there in years . maybe we could do that little run down by the waterfall ? yea we could do that rob . jen and i walked down there when we were there . we can stay at the brecon castle again ... ... love that place . they drove down , the two old friends , the land rover easily eating up the miles and echoing to the banter and laughter of two old comrades . george managed to get the same room as last time remembering the huge four poster bed , and jen in it . robbie took a pleasant single overlooking the river . they set off the following morning . the day was cool but not threatening , the high clouds scudding across the pale blue sky . the river and streams were high as the spring runoff had begun . they maintained an easy pace running easily along the well worn path . it was only about twelve miles with none of the going really hard , however they couldnt lose sight of the fact that they were both in their mid forties now and perhaps not as fit as they would like . it was pleasantly quiet the silence only broken by the pounding of their feet , the sound of their breathing and the blackbirds in the woods to the left . for the first few miles the trail was wide enough for them to run abreast but as the path neared the first waterfall george surged ahead as the trail narrowed . slowly the silence was broken by the roar of the waterfall in full flood . the rock face reared up to their right as the pine forest closed in on their left . robbie felt a stitch coming on and slowed watching george move further ahead . too much of that bowmore , he thought , i either get myself in shape or start to recognize my limitations . the pain of the stitch bent him over as he came to a standstill . he stood there as his breathing returned to normal . the dart took him high on the left shoulder . he hardly felt it it being so sharp . he looked at it in amazement and tried to call out to george . his voice only came out as a croak and , as he fell to the ground at the foot of the rock face , he saw a shadowy dark shape come out from the trees on his left and then the darkness . george sensed that robbie was no longer behind him . he looked back and saw nothing . he turned around and jogged back the way he had come expecting robbie to come around the corner at any moment . rounding the corner he saw robbie lying motionless in the middle of the trail and a tall figure just standing there looking down at the body . he quietly approached the two , his runners quiet on the trail . slowly the figure turned around . he was dressed completely in black with a black balaclava hiding his features , black combat boots on his feet ... black gloves . the figure came at him in a lightening blur of speed . it felt as though a jack hammer hit him in the chest as a boot hit him below the heart . he couldnt get his breath , his whole chest felt paralyzed . he tried to get into a defensive posture but a blow from the side of a gloved hand almost paralyzed his arm . he sank to one knee his vision blurred by the pain in his chest and arm . the attacker was tall and seemed to be just standing there appraising him . george stayed on the one knee gathering himself , the feeling slowly coming back to his arm . he stood up slowly holding his arm and looked at his attacker who was closer now . the startling blue eyes glared at him out of the balaclava . wendy mason , he whispered . she reached up and pulled the balaclava off her head exposing her auburn hair . it never was my mother , she said , it was always me . my familys honor demanded vengeance . your team killed my grandparents and the rest of my family .

'' dancing across the crosswalk was one of my friends moms . yes , thats right , i said dancing . about twenty thousand cars were racing down the road , and a girl who looked about seven dropping her ice cream . three high school kids walked by me and four little kids were ambling after them like ducklings with their mother . a teenager gripped his mom 's hand and cried , `` mom ! ! that car almost hit me ! ! '' by the way that car was probably about half a block away . i sighed and crammed a piece of taffy into my mouth . without my realizing it , a hand had silently moved towards me and now rested on my shoulder . i screeched and hopped nearly a foot in the air . the person started laughing like a madman and i swung my head around to see my friend dylan . i screamed and smacked him on the back of his head . `` i ... that ... so funny ! '' he gasped through laughs , fighting for the right words , and clearly choosing the wrong ones . i stood and offered him a piece of texas pecan taffy , knowing that would make him shut up . he took a square and raised an eyebrow at me suspiciously , `` haley , what did you do to it ... ? '' he shrugged and handed me the wrapper after devouring the piece of candy . dylan 's mom walked up ( the one who was dancing ) . behind her , about two blocks away , i saw my best friend mallory running toward me . i grinned and waved .

dylans mom loved taking pictures of emily , his other `` friend '' who was a girl and i . she snapped a picture of me when i was turning back to her . `` mom , enough pictures . '' dylan groaned . `` it is ok emo . '' i 'd called dylan emo since the fifth grade when hewellwent emo , i suppose . he had soft brown hair that was usually dyed black , the same color as his clothes . he was average height with pitch black eyes that seemed to go on forever , like two small black holes . `` sorry to interupt . '' mallory breathed as she caught up . dylan 's mom snapped a shot of her , and i really couldnt blame her . i wanted to scream `` for the love of christ , mal , what is wrong with your clothes ? '' here is why : her shirt was neon chartreuse and she was wearing a pair of dark denim skinny jeans . not so bad huh ? alright , heres the accessories : a tie-dye scarf that hung loosely from her neck , purple converse , and a light brown throw bag with a peace sign on it . imagine that on a girl who was thirteen and not thirteen in the seventies . `` umm ... '' i began . a smoldering glare erupted from her violet eyes , and she hissed a shut up . a crowd of my friends , including emily , brooke , jessie , ethan , and mikey poul , rushed down the sidewalk in a fit of laughter . mikey bruno had been chasing them half a block . his dirty blond hair flying behind him , and his brown jacket on , even in the middle of summer . my jaw dropped , and i pointed my finger at them . dylan and mallory whirled around . mallory gasped and took three steps backward . dylan and i stared , but i managed to run with him about two steps behind . mallory was right behind him , and then his mom , who was looking a little confused . emily 's ex-boyfriend tristan was soon right in front of me , whom i guess had been in a shop and seen us run by . four blocks away , ethan scurried up a tree and hung by the top branch with one arm . about two minutes later , our groups met up and ethan jumped on bruno 's back from behind . dylan and tristan held him back while us girls and poul ( the nickname we made up for mikey poul ) ran like crazy . dylan 's mom had already left , seeing it was taken care of . i didnt stop running until i was in front of our apartment building , which , for the record , was seventeen blocks away . we all entered panting and breathless , except poul , because guys werent allowed in my apartment unless my grandpa was there . he had a room down the hall , however . and he , my mom , and my grandma were at work , so it was just us . i plopped down on my bed and mallory sprawled out across from me . emily perched in a black leather office chair and brooke and jessie shared the beanbag chair . i grabbed the remote and flipped the switch . `` comedy central or teen nick ? `` `` comedy central . '' jessie answered . emily nodded in agreement . `` science channel . '' argued the forever mythbusters-geek mallory , while we all rolled our knowing eyes at her . i counted her as teen nick , since she hated comedy central with a passion . `` teen nick ! '' yelled brooke , surprising us all . i waved a hand to shush her , and she blushed . `` nick it is . i grinned and flipped it to that station . mallory grimaced and crawled under my covers , sounding like she mumbled im gon na read my book . i heard the doorbell , and brooke wandered off to answer it , returning moments later with my grandma next to her . hey girls . the older woman smiled warmly at us . we greeted in unison , mallory almost yelling with a spastic wave . `` do you girls have money ? '' my grandma asked . we were all planning to go eat . we headed down stairs to the apartment restaurant and asked for a table for six . a waitress named samantha led us to our table and took our orders , which , for most of us , was a bacon cheeseburger , except for brooke , the vegetarian . she had a salad , awkwardly flushing red as we all smiled at her . my mother walked in the restaurant and pulled a chair up to our table . `` hey , y`all should probably let your moms know that you are alright . my friends all pulled out their cell phones , ( except mallory , whos phone was almost always lost and she used mine instead ) and dialed their numbers .

most of them stayed on for only about twenty seconds , but jessie took two minutes , because her mom wasnt at home and she had to call a number of different cell phone numbers to get in touch . it was so normal for my friends to come over that we usually forgot to call their parents . the good thing is that we all lived in close proximity to each other , jessie living a couple doors down , emily and brooke residing in a duplex down the road , and mallorys little house a few miles north . i picked up my fork and began devouring my meal . chapter 2 i walked into the hallway and headed toward my grandpa 's apartment . when i walked past room c7 i knew jessie was about to be home alone with her devil of a big sister amber . she was screaming and begging her mom to let her stay the day in town . jessie her mother warned . jessie pleaded , but i knew she would get what she wanted . jessie had such persuading abilities it could have driven you insane . but see if one of your friends will go with you first . '' i heard her mom mutter . i kept walking , knowing jessie would find us eventually . i pushed the elevator button with my thumb and waited to see jessica 's door fly open . i stood there for a few seconds . she shot out her front door . she turned in the direction of my apartment and ran . i called and hoped that wasnt too loud . the guy next to the elevator always screamed at me for being too loud , well , me and every other person who breathes . jessie garrett turned around and walked calmly to the elevator . it arrived and an old couple that i think live in c2 got out . jess and i got in and i hit the d button . `` so ummwere you going to my place ? '' i didnt really want jessie to know she had been so loud i could hear her from the hall . she nodded and rummaged through her backpack . she pulled out a brush and a hair clip . jessie was like that . she couldnt remember if she put her homework in her backpack or in her binder , but she sure could be prepared if a clothes crisis happened. `` you need to borrow something ? '' i asked trying to get her to ask me . i needed some girlfriend time . you want to spend the day in town with me ? '' she asked , while brushing her dirty blond , almost brown hair . she put a pink hairclip in and stared at me like if i said no , shed curl up and die . yeah sure ! just me and you ? '' i asked hoping so . i loved spending time with jessie . mallory too , but i 'm with her way too much . in the middle of last semester i even started making the weird faces she does . she answered and smiled . jessie put her brush back in her bag and took out a pack of gum . `` strawberry or extra ? '' i answered and popped a piece in my mouth . my small tote bag only had my cell phone , a pack of gum , fifty bucks , a comb , two hair clips , and a stick of eyeliner , lip-gloss , and my membership cards for the shops . jessie 's had that , a hair brush , a change of clothes , blush and eye shadow , a percy jackson book , a bag of fruit loops , an additional pack of gum , and some nail polish . so basically she was ready for anything . if anything had anything to do with looks . she was wearing every type of makeup , where as i was only wearing lip-gloss and eyeliner . the elevator sank down to the lobby and we exited the building . `` haley 's ? '' i asked which ironically was the name of our ice cream shop . one of i should say . `` later ok ? i want to go to the jewelry shop in 42nd street . she answered , heading in that direction . i nodded and followed her . we had to walk across a crosswalk , and down two blocks , but we made it there in one piece . that was when i realized jessie might have been the prettiest powera ever . she was a firea . they could touch you and set you aflame . or give you burns , their choice . their favorite color was automatically red . and yes , jessie 's one of them , but im not . i 'm called an aqua . an aqua has the ability to not drown in water . we can breathe in real water , meaning salt water . our favorite color is blue , because its the color of the water . i forgot to mention this before , but our eyes are the color of our favorite color . because red is un-natural jessie has to wear contacts . anyway , we can drown other people with a flick of our fingers . i 'll inform you of the rest later . umm jess ? i asked as we walked over to the rings . she answered , eyeing a red one . `` so pretty , '' she murmured . you brought money right ?

i know you 're prone to forgetting , but ... . '' i asked her cautiously , wandering if she would chew me out . `` oh , yeah i brought a few extra . mom said to spend the day in town . '' jessica replied turning back to the ring . i looked at a light blue ring with wave looking design on it . i grabbed it from the shelf and walked to the counter . i placed it gently on the glass and gave the lady a five . she handed me back three ones and gave me the ring . i walked back over to jessie as i put my new ring on . i smiled at her and looked at a bracelet she had started looking at . she picked it up and put it on , testing the size . the room burst into flames . the fire spread around the room . i screamed so loud i could have sworn people in china could have heard it . i felt some one 's hands on me . a right hand was on my right arm right below my shoulder , along with the same on my left arm . the man i barely knew picked me up and carried me out of the store , with me screaming the whole time . dylan 's dad was strength . he could have put an arm around me and carried me , but that would be a bit awkward . i 'm not going to say i was expecting him to rescue me , because i wasnt . i looked through the shop window as i was carried down the street . jessie was standing right in the middle of the flames . not caring that if she were human she would have third degree burns , or if she were i she would be dead as soon as the flames touched her . i tried to reach for my necklace . if you call a blue rock on a ribbon a necklace . if i wasnt wearing that thing at all times then i would be in mortal danger . jessie 's red and my friends the color of their power . i reached for my necklace again , and mr. ross shook his head and tightened the grip on my arms . i did n't blame him for thinking i was trying to yank it off . mr. ross nodded and murmured , `` yes , yes . '' i tried to make water shoot from my necklace , but that would just choke me . i remembered that there were water fountains in the shop , and visualized them in my mind . i commanded the water to put out the fire and then opened my eyes . i quieted as mr. ross toted me to dylans house . he sat me down on dylan 's couch . i stopped screaming and clutched my necklace . dylan walked in the room and jumped backward . mr. ross looked at his son and burst out laughing . `` son , i 'm sure this is the one young lady that could scare you out of your socks . he laughed again and went in the kitchen . so , youre in my house , no scratch that , you 're sitting on my couch why ? '' dylan asked setting down his ipad and taking a seat on the other end of the couch . jessie and i were buying some jewelry . i know , weird . but anyway , jessie put on a bracelet and the roomkind of burst into flames . so um when your dad got there , i was screaming my lungs out . and he ca- '' i started . `` and he carried you here . dylan finished for me . my hand left my necklace and rested on my lap . you want root beer or coke ? '' dylan asked and walked toward the kitchen . i shot up and followed him . `` a & w. `` i answered and leaned against the counter . `` and then i 'm going . i want to see if the fire went out . heres your root beer . it okay if i come with you ? i want to know if jessie is mad enough to burn you , '' he told me . `` dylan ! i protested and hit him on the back of the head . he did that half laugh/half grin and sipped on some a & w . i drank about half of mine and got to wonder . so are you really going ? cause i dont think your dad is going to let me go alone , '' i told dylan . `` dang right i 'm not . mr. ross said , walking into the kitchen . `` so , umm it ok if emo comes ? '' i asked and almost choked on my drink . `` yes its ok if emo goes , '' his dad said and chuckled . i waved and made my way out the door , turning towards dylan . '' you still drink ? '' i shoved his shoulder and walked next to him around the corner . hey , we 're almost there . '' i pointed at the ashen building . we strolled over and saw jessie wandering out of the store . we screamed . she turned with a flip of her flaxen tresses as i neared her. `` `` did you kill anyone ? ''

nah , just burned a few people ... . by getting mad when the fire was going out . '' you could have killed them ! '' i half whispered . come on relax ! to the people nearby it just looked like the fire growing in a spot . you cant blame me ! she cried , the fiery red of her eyes burning through her contacts . dylan motioned for us to go in one of the empty stores nearby . i nodded and followed him . `` you are going to get caught one day , jessie . and i dont want to hear any bitching . '' he said as soon as we were near the building . people are noticing . i replied and pushed them through the door . chapter 3 i took out my phone and sent mallory a quick text : jessie set flame to a store . my phone vibrated when she texted back : get your trouble-making asses at my house now . shes on the news ! i muttered `` crap . '' and explained to them . dylan shook his head and jessie shrugged . if i get caught at her house- '' dylan warned , but i cut him off . he and mallory were sworn enemies since fifth grade . i had no clue why , but she enjoyed kicking him in the ass and he liked turning everything she said into something perverted . i fixed him with a stern look and walked towards mallorys street . she was one of the only ones of us with her own house , though it was small . plus , her parents werent divorced and were much older than all of ours . the house next to her held her brother collins family ; her brother , his wife heather , his stepson cameron , and two-year-old cainen ( collin and heathers son together ) who was probably mallorys favorite little person in the world . the toddler was just starting to talk and had already started calling her mal and me hay , since i often visited him whenever at her house . mallory was an electress , which meant she controlled all types of electricity , from small static shocks to lethal lightning strikes . her species was the second most powerful , second only to darkness because of her ability to instantly kill mortals , though she would never ever consider that . her eyes glowed an intense violet , with green contacts covering them . her skin was milky pale , with freckles dotted across her cheeks , and reddish-brown curls trailed to her shoulder blades . her opposite powera was ice . dylan was a darkness . he had dominion over the night and held control over this black , smoke-like mist that could suffocate or pick up things . he could also see in the dark . his opposite was light , a rare type . my friend brooke is what you humans would call a grass type . in reality , she was an earth protector , who took care of the environment and had control over all plants . pollution affected her greatly , and sooner or later she would need to take a journey to the powera headquarters to be cleansed of it all . her color was green and she had no opposite powera . emily was an eartheen , also called a geo . she could bend rocks or solid metal with just a flick of her hand . though it took a lot of her concentration , she could also summon lava from places where the plates of the earth were very thin . poul was an ice type . his powers were the ability to freeze anything , and also to paralyze with just a touch of water . his weakness powera was an electrician/electress , which was one of the reasons why mal hated him so much . and last but not least was ethan . his powera was an animalia . he could summon animals , from elephants to little worms . his color was gray , and he also thirsted for blood , mainly because of his tiny little wolf gene . as we approached mallorys driveway , i smelled that she must have contacted them all . we all had a different smell that only other poweras could smell . being around so many others made the smell of smoke and burnt wood next to me stronger . i was sure i smelled like the ocean , but there was no time to ask . i sprinted up the driveway , quickly waving to cainen who was seated on his front porch with a huge box of legos in his lap . ~~~~ chapter 4 i pushed open the door and stepped inside . mallory led us all to her living room , which had a chaise , a huge couch , a loveseat , and many fluff pillows on the floor . i clutched my necklace and pulled it to my face . the smells i loved flooded my nose ; rain and salt-water . i looked around the crowded living room . i inhaled another breath of necklace and let it fall to my chest . a tear dripped down my cheek when i looked at brooke . the weak look in her eyes told me we would need to leave soon to cleanse her . mallory gave jessie a sharp look . then she ran to me .

she demanded looking me over from head to toe . in most ways , i was more maternal than mallory , except she was fiercely protective over me , like a mama bear . i nodded and looked at brooke again . she was changing like this every day . at times she was so life-like and her beautiful , normal self . other times she was like this , so energy drained . guys we need to leave soon . no parents , so we need a plan . i glanced at everyone one by one , and they all nodded in agreement . we let brooke head home as soon as she was feeling better . we told her to be awake at midnight ; that someone would be there soon after . after we all talked it over we decided it would be best to bring a bag of stuff with us . it took a lot of convincing , but we talked jessie into not putting make up on for an escape . i grabbed my gray aeropostle bag and went to my closet . i packed a two pairs of jeans and a pair of shorts , and three shirts , along with a blue one-piece bathing suit . then i changed out of my pjs and in to a clean outfit . i headed to the kitchen next . i grabbed a zip lock bag and went back into my room . i put some blue jewelry in just in case i needed extra power . i put that in my bag and headed to my personal bathroom . i shoved in a stick of deodorant , my toothbrush , a hairbrush , a comb , perfume , eyeliner , and lip-gloss . again i entered my room and grabbed my fifty dollars . i put that in my pocket , along with my cell phone . i glanced at the clock ; 11:30 . i still had half an hour , so i went through all my old purses and found another twenty-five . i put on a watch so i would be sure what time it was while we were gone . i slipped on a hoodie on top of all my other stuff . it was 11 : 45 now . i went over a checklist in my head and added some hair bows , and blue hair dye . 11:50 now . i kissed my mom 's , my grandpa 's , my grandma 's , will 's , and breanna`s ( my other little cousin ) foreheads god knows how many times . i left a note explaining about brooke and the fact we were going to the leader of all powers . my hands were shaking , so i made many mistakes ; `` nanny , pop , will , momma , breanna , brooke as you know is an earth protector . the firrst first part of her life where she must free her body of polllutien pollution is here . we are all going to take her to powera head qurtars headquarters . love , haley '' then i walked out the door , bag in hand . i stumbled down the stairs and texted everyone that i was ready . we met in front of brooke and emilys duplex and whistled five times . she slipped out and joined us . emily had gone to her house earlier and helped her pack . so we left her in charge of snacks . she was carrying a bag of oreos , a mini bag of cheetos , and a box of graham crackers . we made each of them fit in our bags and headed for the back door . we journeyed for what seemed like an eternity , though it was only an hour and a half . mallory was playing dance songs from her ipod to pump us all up . dylan groaned as she played florence and the machine , but the rest of us honestly didnt care . we had made it out of town safely and were in the middle of a little farmhouse ( which happened to be our friend kyle 's house ) . we stopped and ate some snacks and then made our way to a barn . ethan talked some horses into letting us hitch a ride . i was riding one with mallory sitting behind me . jessie was leaning over the neck of one with brooke riding with her . ethan had his own . mikey rode by himself too . emily sat passenger to dylan 's horse . dylan 's cell phone rang and he looked down at it . he muttered some words that shouldnt have been said and hit ignore . `` oh ... '' i said , realizing how hard this was going to be on us . he nodded and we continued riding . we rode toward the place that you could call `` powera headquarters '' , which was in los angeles , california . once we got there we could restore brooke 's power , and then it would be another twenty years before she needed it again . living in georgia it was going to take a while to get there , and with many obstacles we got off of our horses about a two hours later and started walking again , but letting brooke stay on the back of hers .

at about three in the morning we wandered into a big city . the guys sort of surrounded us , ethan and mikey in the back , and dylan in front of us . three goons jumped in front of us in the middle of the sidewalk , obviously some of the guys who disliked thirteen year olds trying to live on their own . one took off his glasses , which set off a harsh orange glare on the sidewalk . emily smirked and started to pull off her glasses too . i grabbed her arm and squeezed tightly . she let go of her lenses and put them back on . dylan jumped forward and smoke shot from every hole in his head , even his eyes . it was a bit frightening , but sooner than later we got over it . we heard footsteps behind us and whirled around to see two women and one guy behind us . water shot from the blue in my eye and into the mouth of a firea girl . she dropped to her knees , the water drowning her . once the woman was unconscious i looked over at jessie . fire shot from her toes in all directions , but the flames swerved around us . mallorys pearly white hand flashed , and a burst of purple electricity arced from her fingertips and onto the chest of a man , who twitched twice and crumpled to the ground . ethan looked at the sky and whispered some words in greek . pigeons rained down and started pecking at one man like he was a target . brooke , who was strong at the moment , covered the fourth with vines . mikey paralyzed the last person in the back , and dylan blasted smoke in his lungs . we all moved to the sidelines and emily faced off with the eartheen man . rocks flew and chunks of concrete zoomed by us . one brick hit mallory in the back of the head , which made her stagger before painstakingly regaining her composure . i ripped off a piece of my shirt and soaked it , handing it to her . she smiled gratefully and pressed it to the wound . after about fifteen minutes emily came back in our direction . she grabbed dylan 's hand and he kissed her forehead . two years ago i would have gagged . but after that time i think my stomach had just decided to let it go , though i did still feel disgusted . mallory groaned and turned away , something that happened often . `` are you missing your parents ? i asked after about twenty minutes . `` oh come on dylan . youre heartless . '' he said and walked away to emily . douche bag ! i said and trudged over to both of them . i repeated for about the millionth time in my life . he threw the word at me again . salt-water foam started bubbling out of the middle of my hand . `` dylanhey ! emily started yelling . the water was starting to flood out now with extreme speed . i could feel water beginning to seep out of my toes and fingers . dylan was refusing to look at me , mouthing the word fuck . i reached out and touched dylan 's shoulder , and he finally turned around . i smiled , but it was turned horrid by the salt water seeping through my teeth . i tried to stop the rage , but it wouldnt leave , just go down a bit . the water was going down to a stream when dylan turned around to me again . why are you so obsessed with making me mad and annoyed ? `` hey , leave her the fuck alone you little whore ! mallory cried , balling her fists and glaring bullets at the black-haired boy . emily started to walk over , her glasses gone and her eyes glowing an extremely bright orange . her fingernails were starting to turn to stone . ethan screeched and jumped on top of her . she popped her back and shoved him off , but he was able to grab her wrists . get your hands off of my girlfriend ! dylan protested loudly . `` shell kill someone ! ethan shot back , fighting to keep his hold on the struggling eartheens hands . youre not a bitch ! you are n't one haley ! dylan was screaming now . emily broke free and ran for us . rocks were flying everywhere . the water backed off , but we all knew it would be moments before emily could control herself enough to stop . i leapt for her glasses and shoved them on her head . i ducked as huge chunks of stone rained down on us . i cried out in pain as one hit my kneecap and bounced back , hit it again , and landed on the ground . mikey crawled over and let me lean on him . the rocks flew for fifteen minutes , so nobody noticed that i was weeping . when it was over dylan walked to me and helped to get me up . `` umm ... im sorry . '' he mumbled half-heartedly , saying the last word so quietly i thought for a while that i had completely imagined it .

i glared mildly at him , before grabbing his forearm and leading him off into the shadowy woods . i stared at the leaves on the forest floor , and at the night sky above the treetops . i could hear a little stream , and if i listened closely enough i could hear my other friends talking and enjoying themselves . `` i just ca n't believe that i 'm traveling the length of the country for a girl that i barely know . '' dylan admitted . `` you always allowed me let my anger out . but emily just tells me to calm down . that does n't help me at all , but you know that . '' i nodded and looked over at him . he had jet-black hair with blonde layers at the moment , cut in an emo style . he was wearing a very gory band t-shirt , and black , ripped skinnies . his tennis shoes were black converse , and he had about three cut marks on his wrist . i grabbed his arm and ran my finger on one of the scars . `` you 've got to stop ... never mind . '' i looked up a few inches into his black eyes . dylan said , putting it bluntly . he looked away , and i just sat there . i looked down at my converse , loving the fact that they had all of my friend 's signatures . i looked at the blank spot where dylan should have signed two years ago . i tapped his shoulder . he raised an eyebrow questioningly at me . i pointed at the spot next to emily 's name . `` you never signed it . '' i answered his unspoken question of 'whats that supposed to mean ? he sighed and took a sharpie from his pocket . i scooted sideways and held out my foot . he wrote dylan and threw the pen to the ground . `` come on , they 're going to notice we are gone soon . '' i realized and stood . i put my hand on the tree and waited impatiently while he grabbed his backpack and stood . we wandered back to the clearing in silence . our parents would know we were gone soon , and then we would have to be extra careful . as we approached our friends i spotted mikey in a little clump on the ground , his clothes fried and his hair a toasted color . my jaw dropped and i ran forward . when i got to him he was groaning and trying to freeze himself to stay cool . i pressed my necklace to his so that he would have something to freeze . i glanced around frantically , and saw mallory with this proud smirk on her face . i bounded towards her and knocked her to the ground , a mistake because i got a small shock from the sparks coming from her body . when she got her breath back , and i stopped shaking and she stood . `` why did you do that to him ? i yelled , feeling my eyes turn that neon shade of blue . seawater shot from my hands and ears . i aimed my hand at her . chapter 5 mallory oh my god . i hate dylan and mikey . i was seriously on the verge of roasting dylan on a rotating spit when he caused haley to get hurt . i had started forward , a lightning strike ready for my usage , until emi grabbed my wrist . the look in her eyes turned my decision . my temper flaring , i folded my arms and clenched my fists . and mikey did something as dangerous and reckless as lighting a match next to a bomb . gee , mallory , getting a little bit of a temper there , huh ? i whirled around , my mental concrete casing exploding off my bubbling temper . a loud crack of thunder echoed around , and with a flash of light , mikey was on the ground , burned to a crisp . brooke screamed , horrified . with a satisfied smile , i casually hummed the rhythm to sunday , bloody sunday by paramore . that was when haley ran in and thwarted my plans . she darted over to mikey and pressed her necklace to his , her long black hair swaying . then she attacked me . in defense mode , i shocked her . then i stopped , absolutely disgusted with myself . how could i hurt my gentle , sweet friend ? my compassion was not shared . why did you do that to him ? haley shouted . she aimed her hand at me and i closed my eyes . i fluttered my eyelashes to try and stop the tears . i shocked mikey , and now haley was going to kill me . wow , way to be a great friend . i caught jessie , emily , and brookes horrified looks and let out a soft sob . the water crashed into my chest , instantly knocking the breath out of me . i attempted to fight it off , but it only resulted in a chemical reaction . i felt the cool liquid take on a quality like acid , and i tried to scream , but all it resulted in was a low groan . my anger took over as i staggered to my feet , with a quiet whimper .

i directed a bolt at haley , and she fell back with a cry of pain . my body slumped forwards , and i sank to my knees . id hurt sweet haley , the first girl who gave me a chance at getting friends . the girl i had hung out with every day since fourth grade . haley , whose smile could cheer me up on a daily basis ? my best friend who i could not live without ? my reddish curls shivered in front of me . tears began to overflow . i could see my arms shaking , from their place holding me upright , my pale palms pressed into the ground . i was a monster , an absolute monster . that was my only thought as my arm support failed and i collapsed onto the forest floor , dark spots dancing in front of my vision . i dont know when i woke up , but when i did i saw everyone clustered around the limp body of haley . i curled painfully into a ball and began to silently cry . through my tears i felt warm arms around me and looked blearily into the eyes of sweet brooke . i tried to smile , but instead i buried my face into her shoulder and sobbed . she hugged me knowingly , like she understood . haley haley , are you okay ? i woke up lying on the ground ; dylan and jessie were standing above me . i sat up and smacked the former in the shoulder . `` i dont want you to ever be the first thing i see when i wake up ! '' dylan rolled his eyes and walked over to emily . `` shes awake . '' emily walked over , her glasses missing . i looked around and saw more rocks on the ground . emily hugged me . `` you two could have killed yourselves . '' i flinched at a sudden pain in my forehead and noticed mallory had stood and walked over . `` umim sorry . '' i rolled my eyes and let her join the hug . we hugged for a moment but all of the people around us started interrupting us . i looked toward mikey . he threw his hands in the air and i raised an eyebrow . mikey glanced at mallory . `` just forget it ok ? '' i rolled my eyes and looked at everyone else , who was just staring at my forehead . i demanded them . could they not just forget that had just happened ? ethan pointed at my forehead , even at the age of thirteen he still acted like he was a crazy seven year old . i reached up and touched my forehead where his finger had skimmed . when my finger made contact with that bit of skin it burned . i muttered and looked at my slightly burnt finger . `` jessie , give me a mirror . '' i said , because everyone else was taking action . she handed me a very purple mirror and i grabbed it . when i looked at myself there was a small , but very noticeable lightning bolt on my forehead . i looked at mallory , realizing why she had refused to look at my face . i grabbed mallory 's wrist and pulled her with me to the now familiar forest . `` pull up your shirt '' i told her . mallory asked , having trouble keeping her temper down . she lifted it up and there , right above her bellybutton where i blasted her was a blue mark in the shape of a raindrop . my mouth dropped again . mallory looked at me confusedly but then followed my gaze . `` see i 'm not the only evil one . '' i turned around and stomped off , realizing i needed dylans scissors . i walked up to him and tapped his shoulder . then he realized who it was . he asked , calming down a bit . `` give me a pair of scissors . '' i said , reaching for his backpack . `` what makes you think i have scissors ? '' dylan asked , and took his bag off of his shoulder . `` because youre emo , now give them before i kill you in your sleep . '' i answered , locking eyes with him . his gaze shifted to my forehead , and i think he understood this time . he pulled out a pair of scissors and jessie handed me a mirror . i walked into the woods again ; walking past mallory . i hung the mirror on a tree and started cutting my hair . i first cut the length until it was just past my shoulders . i cut the bangs to swing over my eyes , and then styled it to hide mallory 's little mark . mallory cried out behind me . i spun around to see her standing there . `` oh my god ... '' she murmured and walked over to get a better look . you made the mark . '' i looked in the mirror , realizing i had done a pretty good job . i stood from the tree stump and yanked jessie 's mirror off the tree . i picked up dylan 's scissors and headed back towards the rest of my friends . when i got to the clearing everyone stared , well all but dylan . i shoved dylan 's scissors in his hand , the blade cutting into his skin .

he looked at me in anger and i realized what i had done . ethan flung himself at dylan and they landed on the ground with a loud thump . my hand went to my mouth as ethan 's leg landed on the blade of the scissors . ethan was still on top of dylan , the wolf part of him wanting dylan 's blood . as much as dylan had done to me over the years , i didnt want him to be killed by one of his best friends . i could n't believe i was doing this but i ran over and threw ethan off of dylan . ethan snarled at me and jumped for me . i stepped to the side , a mere inch from where he landed . i realized i had just made him angrier . he was infuriated now , spitting slobber like a dog would ; yet standing , as a cat would stalk its prey . behind ethan i saw dylan stand , blood covering his face and scratches everywhere . lightning flashed behind us and i screamed as mallory electrocuted ethan . while ethan collapsed his hand reached over and grabbed at dylan and i. mallory cried out in anguish and dragged him backwards while he drooled like a dog . she dropped him a little ways away and rushed to me . i woke up to see dylan still unconscious a few feet away , and glanced around . i saw mallory and ethan and caught their `` conversation '' . `` you worthless piece of shit ! '' mallory screamed , punching ethan in the face . `` dylan i do n't care about , but you know that could have killed her you little faggot ! '' i sat up and glared at ethan , wanting to jack slap him . mallory noticed i woke up , threw ethan the word bitch again , and stepped over to me `` are you ok ? '' she asked , crouching down beside me . her long curls brushed my face and i nodded . dylan groaned and i looked over . his hair was covered in blood , and so was his hand where i had stabbed him . i suddenly noticed that i had started all of this by stabbing him . i crawled over and pushed his bloody hair out of his face . she ran over , her eyes a bright orange and her nails little pebbles . she bent down to him and looked over at me . `` can you find somewhere for us to wash his hand ? '' she asked , rubbing his hand . `` yeah i can try , but you do realize i have a major headache . '' i answered and pressed my head to the ground . i could hear a stream , but with my headache it could have been niagara falls . i rubbed my temples and groaned at how much it hurt . i suddenly remembered dylan and i had walked past a creek . i stood up and locked eyes with emily . `` it has minerals and ... '' i closed my eyes its clean enough to wash him off . '' mikey and ethan , who was scared of mallory enough to control himself , managed to carry dylan to the creek . dylan opened his eyes , and looked up at emily , who was starting to clean his hand . he asked , looking at his surroundings . he recognized the stream i guess and sat up a little bit , grimacing when emily continued to wash his hand . i could hear male laughing and glanced around suspiciously . there were only three boys with us and they were all nearby . jessie stood and raked her crimson across the clearing . ethan muttered , making a large circle away from mallory . he easily leaped from one stone to another and stepped on the other side . he walked away through the trees . dylan rolled his eyes and tried to pull his hand away from emily . she looked up at me , a pleading look in her eyes . i walked over , wondering what kind of a cut could make her look so upset . when i reached her i grabbed dylan 's wrist , and uncurled his fingers . my mouth gaped at how deep and wide the cut was . had i really done that ? i ran my thumb over the mark , flinching at how bad it made him wince . i let go of his hand and as my finger was sliding away there was a rustle in the bushes behind me . i turned around to see ethan riding an elk , and following him were two boys , one with a smug smile on his face and the other looking nervously around with his hands in the pockets of his black jacket . the smiling one was tall , probably about as tall as dylan . his shaggy hair was a soft dark blond , and his eyes were liquid brown . the other was about an inch shorter , just a tad taller than mallory , the second tallest of all of us . his hair was mahogany colored and kept short , though the front part nearly reached his chin , and his eyes were bright blue . ethan hopped off of his elk and started the introductions . `` i 'm ethan .

i looked at the brown-haired boy as he spoke . `` skye estes . he mumbled , glancing at mallory . she raised an eyebrow and smirked at him . she leaned over and whispered in my air , best not frighten him . looks skittish . it seemed this one made another guy she hated . the other boy smiled a little , but not a real smile , a smile id give dylan , one that means nothing . `` my name 's austin silvers . who are you guys ? '' where had i heard that last name before ? `` i 'm haley winn . an aqua . '' i murmured , knowing he was some form of powera solely by the way his brown eyes appeared like molten chocolate , the same liquid tendency as dylans dads eyes had . `` dylan ross , darkness . '' dylan said , flexing his cut hand . `` brooke gaddis . i am an earth protector . '' brooke announced , looking like she was straining to keep up a smile . `` my name is jessica garrett , but most people call me jessie . uh , firea . '' jessie placed a hand on her hip and eyed austin suspiciously . `` mikey poul . an ice . '' mikey muttered , looking at the ground for some reason . `` emily woodall is my name . im an eartheen . '' she was holding dylan 's uninjured hand with one hand and holding a rock with another . `` names wheeler ; mallory wheeler . but many call me the weirdo . youll find out why soon enough , and im an electress . mal introduced herself , staring mockingly at nervous skye . `` sorry , we forgot to mention our powers . i 'm a strength , and skye here -my best friend- is an air . '' i see you have an earth protector . are you guys heading to powera central , because if so i could help you along your way ? i 've been there many times ! '' `` thank you , us girls said at once , knowing we needed help . the boys nodded their thanks , and so skye and austin walked over . skye inched over to mallory , who instantly began interrogating if he was a serial rapist . austin sat down next to me , judging me intently . `` we do n't exactly have time for sitting , let 's just get going . '' dylan said , rising from his place beside emily . austin stood , and surprisingly held out his hand to help me up . i grabbed it and almost flinched at how he did n't even budge . we all walked in silence for a bit , but then austin caught up to me , and we started talking . `` so are you emo ? '' austin asked , looking at my hair . i remembered my hair and reached up , feeling the shape that could be mistaken as scene hair . its just that uh , '' i pushed a little bit of my hair away from my forehead , showing him the 'scar ' . he reached up and ran the flat of his thumb across mallory 's lightning bolt . i flinched ; i did n't trust people that quickly . noticing i was feeling touchy , he dropped his hand and his gaze . `` no , its fine . '' i said , feeling a bit guilty . he raised his gaze and smiled , not another fake smile but a real smile , a smile i enjoyed seeing . i felt the corners of my mouth pulling upward , my lips revealing my teeth . it was the first time i had smiled in a really long time , since i was twelve when my childish smile left me . we approached a small town , one that reminded me of home . my heart ached with homesickness . we walked into a cheap restaurant with a server that looked like a crack head . we all managed to cram into one very long table . to my left was austin , and to my right was mallory . across from me was emily . next to emily was dylan on one side and jessie on her right . on jessie 's other side was brooke . on mallory 's other side there was skye , who she was arguing to . on austin 's other side sat mikey , and across from him ( next to dylan ) was ethan . at this point , mallory was yelling at skye , something that had to do with astronomy . no , you dip-shit ! charon is plutos moon ! not fucking saturns ! mallory hissed . its weird looking ! looks like a rock ! thats fucking phoebe ! wait , isnt phoebe a star ? yeah , its one of the pleiades oh . ok. you changed the subject . mallory thought for a long moment . you are confusing . you make my brain explode .

i chuckled under my breath , while austin rolled his eyes . we all ordered different things . most of us agreed that what we got was delicious . ethan was the only one who did n't like it and he had one reason : there was no milk . we sat there eating for a while and talking . i took a sip of my mountain dew and sat it down . emily gave me a grin , pointing at dylan . i looked over and he was listening to his ipad . i rolled my eyes and reached across the table . i yanked out the earpieces and sat down again , feeling like he got the message . he almost flicked me off , but he turned it off and stuck it in his pocket . i looked over at mallory , seeing that she had stopped speaking long enough to finish her philly cheese steak . i felt my eyes starting to droop and realized that the last time we had sleep was the night before we left . brooke yawned and tried to get hyped up by drinking the rest of her coke and a whole refill . when it was time to leave the restaurant we all paid for what we ate , so that nobody was cheated out of his or her money . we exited out into the crisp night air , and followed austin and skye . dylan , emily , and i were standing just behind them . mallory and mikey were arguing in hushed tones behind us , and following them was jessie , brooke , and ethan . ethan was looking at the sky , muttering greek as we walked . i looked over at a shop that looked to be like an old navy or kohls . someone tapped my shoulder and i turned around to see that austin had let skye take the lead . we stopped and let emily and dylan go on ahead . we walked between them and everyone else , because mikey had dropped back to talk to ethan , jessie , and brooke , and mallory had ran up ahead to ( to more than likely argue with ) skye . i looked up at the sky , wondering why it looked so dark . i had been knocked out twice , but had i really `` slept '' that long ? i looked down at the watch on my wrist , but it had n't made it through the lightning bolt and landing with ethan and dylan . i looked up into austin 's eyes . i asked , very quietly . he looked at his watch and squinted . how long have you been traveling ? '' he asked , looking up at the dark blue sky . `` midnight last night . '' he looked at me like i had said we had n't eaten in three years . `` where did you guys come from ? '' austin asked , and turned away , looking at his watch again . where are we now ? '' i answered , and asked a question i had n't been able to ask in a very long time , well , what felt like a very long time . he exclaimed , like i did n't know what state i lived in . `` youre in colorado ! how 'd you get here in one night and day on foot ? '' i shrugged and glanced at his watch . i was n't the talkative type with people i barely knew , but he kept following me like that , acting like we were lifelong friends , and to be honest he was creeping me out . at this age i was only used to friends and family . i shut the rest of the world out , acted like they were n't there . it was getting extremely dark now . i walked faster than him , picking up my pace until i was in the front . i was a girl who took charge when it was needed , and most listened to me . dylan , though , did n't take orders from anyone unless he was at such a miserable point it was absolutely needed . i looked at skye and mallory , who were yelling at each other pretty darn loud . i stepped back a little until i was with dylan and emily , who were still holding hands . `` do n't you think it 's getting pretty dark ? '' i ran to the front and noticed austin had been right behind me . i walked towards a patch of woods , feeling a bit uncertain . everyone followed me though . i sat down on a rock next to an extremely narrow stream . we all just sat there for a while , not knowing what to do . i did get pieces of mallory and skies conversation though : `` no ! percy jackson is not cool ! hes ugly and stupid ! '' and , `` you lie ! '' as it got darker the boys built a fire . i leaned against a rock , then a tree . i grabbed my bag and laid it on the forest floor . i rested my head on it , and most everyone else did the same . i lay there for a while , listening to the crackling fire . i could n't fall asleep , even though i knew i needed to .

i was pretty sure everyone was asleep so i sat up and stared at the fire . i looked over at where austin was supposedly sleeping and saw him sit up too . he smiled and scooted over . i looked up into his deep brown eyes . that was when austin leaned down and kissed me . chapter 6 as our lips touched i gave austin 's shoulders a hard shove . i had just met him ! he gave me a confused and hurt look . i felt like slapping him , and if he tried that again it would happen ! i stood up , as did he . i marched off into the woods , ignoring the fact that that damn stalker was following me . i let out a huge puff of air as we left ear shot distance of the others . i dont know what the heck made you think we were like that , but we arent ! '' i could barely see the brightly lit fire , so i was hoping the others could n't hear us . he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly . he replied , `` i 'm sorry ... i just thought you liked me too , and its not like we 're little kids or anything ! '' `` little kids ? no austin we are n't . and i do n't know about you , but i 'm only thirteen ! '' i flared , the control of my temper hanging on by a thread . austin looked at me like i was crazy . you guys are only thirteen ? `` if that surprises you so much then how about you tell me how old you guys are ? '' thirteen is a young age , but he was acting like we were three ! i 'm fifteen and i just kissed a thirteen year old . `` he is a fifteen year old ? he looked our age ! '' `` i have friends back there that would gladly break your back . so i would n't push it if i were you . '' i started to walk past him but he reached out and grabbed my shoulder . i tried to get loose , but when i did it felt like i was just making his grip firmer , which , at this point felt impossible . dylan , the son of a strength was one thing , but an actual strength -a young one at that- was about ten times worse . `` will you just let me go ? god youre a stalker ! '' i yelled , letting loose of my temper . no water or suds came surprisingly . `` break my back ? '' austin chuckled . he let go of my shoulder , but blocked my path so that i could n't go back to my friends . `` i 'd love to see them try ! '' now he had done it . water started foaming out of my palm . he saw this and stepped aside . shockingly he did n't follow me , just turned off in another direction . i pulled my jacket tightly around me . i was slightly disturbed . a boy that i had met just this morning had tried to kiss me , a fifteen-year-old boy at that . as i was walking back to where my friends were enjoying a deep slumber i began to cry . i bit my lip , trying to control the noise and tears . i had it almost completely managed when i made it back to them , but there sat emily trying to control a miserable looking brooke gaddis . i looked at brooke and my tears just erupted . i had been fighting my emotions since we left home over twenty-four hours ago . i was a girl who cried easily . when my tears exploded i tried to control the noise , not wanting the guys to see me . emily rushed over and pulled me into a fierce hug . she shed a few tears , but not as many as i did . when my tears began to subside emily held me out at shoulder 's length . i knew she must be curious with two people missing . i sat down next to the fire and patted a spot on the ground next to me . she sat down too , and stared patiently into the fire as i found my words . not even jessie . '' i watched brooke fall back to sleep as i let out the words . emily replied , her last word almost swallowed by a yawn . when she stopped yawning i started to explain , `` i could n't fall asleep and i thought everyone else was asleep so i sat up . but when i did so did austin . he scooted over to me and . and he- '' i stopped mid-sentence not knowing how to put this into words . emily looked over at me , her expression urging me on . i took a deep breath , `` he tried to kiss me emily . i shoved him off and headed into the woods , but he followed me . we fought a little and hes fifteen . there was no point in telling her the details , mostly because she probably did n't want to hear them any way . i wiped off my soaked face with my jacket sleeve . emily looked over at me , shocked . i nodded my head and sighed .

emily is the only person in the world i would have told that to . i loved my other friends too , but emily was different . emily hugged my shoulders and i reached up my arms and hugged back . when she went to the other side of the fire and lay down again i relaxed back against my `` pillow '' . the last thing i saw before i drifted to sleep was austin walking back to our little camp and laying down . i woke to the sunlight pouring through the tree branches overhead . the birds in the trees had already begun their song , and the stream was making a beautiful sound ( to my ears ) as the water splashed up against the dirt bank . i propped up on my elbows and looked around . jessie was already awake , and so were mallory , dylan , ethan , and that boy skye . jessie noticed i was awake and walked over . i stood up and gave her a small `` good morning . '' she nodded and walked over to the stream , looking curiously into the crystal clear water . i walked over , seeing that the fire was already out . `` whats it like to love such a thing as water ? '' i almost laughed , but i knew it was a real question . `` i 've asked the exact same thing about fire , electricity , and all the others . '' i answered , a smile creeping across my face , `` but if you really want to know ... '' `` no . it 's fine , '' she answered . jessie was a good four inches shorter than me , and had been for as long as i 've known her . jessie was a good friend , someone that you go to when you need laughs , or to go to when you need to be reminded of the rules . jessica garrett was my conscience . the one i came to for many things . i loved jessie , as i did with all of my other friends . all of my friends are different , and jessie just happened to be one of them . jessie had rules about hugs . she did n't liked to be touched , as i did n't like to be touched by people i did n't know . jessie was different though . hugs had to be one arm around the shoulder , and it had to be a short little squeeze . jessie had done a lot for me over the years . as emily was my friend for her own reasons , so was jessie . mallory walked by and i grabbed her arm . `` hey mal you not gon na speak ? '' i asked , smiling `` hey . have n't talked to you ever since yesterday . '' i let go of her arm . mallory , mallory , mallory , my crazy friend , the prankster , and the one who did n't care how much trouble she got in or how crazy she looked . after all , weird was a good thing . i knew all her secrets , and she knew most of mine . i loved the girl to death ; i loved her dearly , not queerly , as we always said to each other to ward off comments of lesbian ! i gave another smile and walked back to my bag . i got out a blue ring and put it on . i did n't trust anyone anymore , not after last night . i leaned against a tree , my thoughts swirling around in my head . i took my mp3 player out of my bag and turned it on . i put the headphones in and just listened to music , the way i escaped the craziness of this world . when i was eleven , twelve , and most of being thirteen i would have a laptop on my lap , and my ims would be full , and sometimes ignored . i looked around our little camp . my eyes rested on austin , wondering if he would stalk me again . he had n't exactly stalked me , but he was close enough for me to beat the crap out of him with no regret at all . except maybe just a little part of me liked him , just a little part . he saw me looking and i quickly glanced away . my hands were in my pockets , my bag sloppily thrown over my shoulder . my black hair was a tousled mess . i was wearing my collage converse with my friends ' signatures on the toes . i had on black jeans and a gray shirt that had the definition of love . over my shirt was a white aeropostle jacket that i wore almost 24/7 . it was hot weather out , yet here i was with a jacket , converse , and a pair of pants . i was too into my music to notice austin had walked over . i did n't realize he was there until i felt a tap on my shoulder . a glance over proved he was there , his blond hair covering his brown eyes . i turned my mp3 player off and put it in my bag . i asked a flash of an escaping temper in my voice . i could probably control it now , however . he brushed his hair aside , so i could see his eyes .

`` look i 'm sorry about last night . i did n't realize i was jumping ahead , but i was . and im really truly sorry . '' i wanted to scream at him , wanted to slap him again , or beat the living crap out of him . i did n't care , but i preferred the third . i asked , fighting to keep my voice to a whisper , `` you do n't get it . like i said before , i 'm thirteen , and you 're fifteen . theres a bit of an age difference . and it would n't have been too bad if you had waited more than one day . '' i said , letting go of the thoughts i had n't told him last night . he seemed to get the hint that this would go a whole lot easier if we stopped talking about it . i walked over to dylan . `` so when do you guys think we 'll leave again ? '' he shrugged , his black shirt rippling a bit . dylan was my emo friend . always wore black , cut himself , and had been my friend ever since the first grade . i used to be so mean to him in fifth grade . i think i was a bully , but near the end and afterward our friendship returned to normal . there was only one problem with that though , and it was that people looked at me weird when i told them to stop being so mean to him . he came up with an answer i suppose , because he answered ; `` now i guess . what state are we in again ? '' i answered and nodded at his very shocked expression . he said , `` that could explain why everything looks so different . '' i nodded and shoved my hands in my pockets . i walked over to the still sleeping emily and shook her shoulder . `` wake up emmy . its time to go . '' she felt around for her glasses and her hand landed on my arm . i handed her her glasses and helped her pack up the things she had spilled from rolling around in her sleep . we stood up again and i walked over to the little stream . i dropped down to my knees and the water rose from its spot , following the commands in my head . it swirled around me . i could feel everyone 's eyes on me . i had no purpose ; i was just playing with what i loved . i threw my bag to the ground as the water soaked me . i let most of it sink back into the stream and grabbed my bag . i stood and walked over to the others . i felt so glad to just be wet . mikey was looking down at the water as it froze . jessie and dylan were using their elements to stop it from freezing , and before we knew it we were all playing with our elements . all but austin who was standing next to me , watching us play . i shot water from the creek straight at jessie and felt quite satisfied when she screamed in disgust . or was that pain ? i ran over , austin right behind me . she must have been playing , because flames erupted just beside my feet . i screamed and ran back over to mikey . he too , looked terrified . jessie stopped and exploded with laughter . we all started along our walk then , and i was surprised when austin left me alone for the better part of the morning . when he did walk over though , i let him because i knew he realized the ground rules . he just walked with me for a bit , not saying anything . we walked in that uncomfortable silence for a while . i looked over at his dirty blonde hair . maybe we would be good friends , or maybe his wish of falling in love with me would happen , but i really , really doubted that . `` so , umm why do n't you ... . '' i began but my voice trailed off as i realized i didnt hate him as badly as i thought . `` why do n't i what haley ? '' austin asked , putting his hands in his pockets . `` why do n't you tell me a bit about yourself ? '' i glanced up at the tall buildings of the large city . `` one thing ok ? '' he asked , but continued without waiting for an answer , `` i have n't seen my mom since i was seven . she left me with my dad , and when she came back for me he would n't let her take me . '' i patted his shoulder , as i did when i was trying to reassure boys . `` let 's just say she hated my dad 's career choice , and thought he was very mean and rude . '' i guessed that this was painful for him , so i did n't ask for more . i nodded and said no more , just looked around at the city . i looked at my friends and noticed mallory , mikey , and skye having a small argument . i started listening to them intently . they were quite interesting . `` no mallory , all i was saying is that you have a bit of a temper ! '' mikey said indignantly .

`` he was about to break her dang arm poul ! i would have fried him instead if emmy had n't stepped in ! '' mallory hissed at him . i glanced down at my bruised arm and realized it had been hurting . i rubbed the bruise with my thumb . it went completely around my wrist . can you guys dumb it down a bit ? i 'm still at the part where mikey said you had a bit of a temper ! '' skye objected . i smiled ; at least mallory was bothering to not scream at him now . i really would n't care , but mallory is very mean to all boys that breathe . `` so then i ... '' mallory continued telling the tale and i listened , wondering what had caused mallory to fry mikey crispy enough to eat . i walked along listening to them for a while , but then mikey walked away , the story was told and skye was still deciding a side . i stepped up beside skye and mallory and glanced over at them . `` it was nice of you to try to stand up for your friend like that . '' skye told mallory . i looked at mallory , noting that that was the first compliment he had ever given her . her cheeks flushed a deep rose and she punched his arm , muttering a half-hearted shut up , while skye responded with a roll of his blue eyes . i winked at mallory playfully , and she flapped a hand in the air nonchalantly , trying to calm her racing emotions back into her even , pale skin . on the inside though , i knew i felt the exact same way about austin . i slowed my pace until i was walking in the back alone . i looked at the back of austin 's head . he was really cute , and if he tried to kiss me again tonight , i just might let him . chapter 7 we stopped to rest for the night in a hotel this time . it was twenty bucks apiece . i shared a room with mallory and emily . brooke and jessie shared a room . dylan , ethan , and mikey shared a room , and skye and austin shared a room . we were all on the same floor . before i went to bed i put on my jeans and stepped into the fancy hotel lobby . there were three couches , tons of chairs , and a flat screen tv . there was a pool next to the lobby , and i figured why not . everyone said that they would come down in a few minutes after they found something to swim in . i checked that no humans were around , and stepped into the poolroom . the smell of chlorine flooded my nose and i reached up to hold my necklace . still no humans were around , so i dove into the ten-foot area . i loved the water all around me . the feeling of being wet was incredible to me . i swam from the ten-foot end to the three foot in a mere thirty seconds . i lifted my head from the water , even though i had no need to breath . i looked around the pool . still nobody was there . i plummeted back into the water and swam about half way across the wonderful pool . skye i stared at the copper-haired girl standing in front of me with a petulant pout on her face . for the love of christ , mallory , youre not freaking obese . she crossed her arms over her chest and scowled at me . she wore a neon chartreuse swimming top with purple spatters all over them that tied at the back of her neck , and a matching pair of shorts . but an oversized mccluskey tennis center t-shirt obstructed her body , which nearly went to her mid-thigh . i knew she was modest , but not to this magnitude . who are you to talk ? you dont even have a belly ! she walked over and smacked my flat stomach with the back of her hand . mallory narrowed her eyes and looked me over critically , while i shrank under her gaze . put on a little weight , you make me feel like a pregnant cow . shut up and go . she shoved me in the back and followed as i jogged down the hall and into the elevator . the younger girl caught up with me and shoved the button for ground floor . some strange eighties music began to play , and mallory began squealing in delight . my parents play it all the time ! she waited a few moments for the intro , and began mouthing the lyrics while dancing enthusiastically . why waste your time ? you know youre gon na be mine . im gon na get you baby ! im gon na get you , yes i am ! im gon na get you baby , im gon na ge- i slapped a hand over her mouth as we entered the lobby . she glared at me as i led her gently into the empty atrium leading to the pool . i led her to the empty atrium . she asked curiously , judging her surroundings . bout what ?

i had no answer to that so i changed the subject . your eyes are pretty . i said in that creeper-way , just to get a smartass comment from her . she laughed half-heartedly , and then blinked up at me through her hair timidly . i was shocked ; that was the first time i had ever seen her that nervous . uh , y-yeah . i shoved my hands into the pockets of my swim trunks . aw , thank you . y-youre welcome . you know , i was trying to tease you , but they really are . they flash white sometimes . like lightni- i was rambling , but mallory stopped me . and i sure as hell liked the way she did . she wrapped her arms around my neck and smashed her lips to mine . i was still for a moment , but my hands inched to her hips , pulling her closer . i could feel her fingers gripping tufts of my hair . at last we stopped kissing , our foreheads pressed together and the both of us gasping for air . god , that girl was strange . but , hell , i liked strange . haley i surfaced and saw a blurry figure . my eyes adjusted and i saw that it was austin . i swam over to where he was sitting on the side of the pool . his long legs were swaying and making ripples in the cyan water . i grabbed the concrete and held myself there . he offered me a hand and i pulled myself up beside him . i sat only inches away . he smiled , `` youre a really great swimmer . '' you know the reason for that . '' i glanced down at my bare feet . my converse were now sitting beside a twin size bed that i had declared was mine for the night . austin laughed and nodded . he was wearing shorts , which i guess for now were his swimming trunks . he leaned over towards me slowly . my heart stopped for a few moments , but i said nothing . i sat perfectly still , in other words , i just let him kiss me . i kissed back this time , but it was quick . `` hey you two ! '' mallory started laughing and skye did too . i laughed nervously and glanced over at austin . i nervously rubbed the back of my neck . `` how much did you two see ? '' my feet were making splashes in the deep water . i was going to jump in soon . mallory grinned , as if she had caught us doing a crime . `` enough haley . my eyes widened miles wide . i was about to slip into the pool to escape the embarrassment . i looked down at their linked hands . austin and i were n't the only ones with a secret around here ! skye looked between us and sighed . `` it 's okay guys . it 's not like we 're going to tell anyone . '' my patience was growing , little bit by little bit . i smiled and started staring at them . i felt a shove from behind me and screeched when i plunged into the depths . i was going down , sinking almost at incredibly slow speed . i opened my eyes and gazed up at the pool above me . the person who had shoved me was ethan . of course it was somebody utterly stupid . i sat on the bottom of the pool and watched as austin stood and walked over to ethan . i fought to keep myself from swimming to the surface . my senses were perfect underwater ; they just took a few moments to come to me completely . all senses were good . now my hearing was coming to me . austin was muttering something to ethan , the look on his face . i looked over at mallory . she had her hand covering her mouth . she was staring intently at ethan and austin . skye was just standing there glancing at everyone . he caught my eye and smiled . i turned away and listened to them again . `` what made you think you should do that ? '' austin asked ethan . tears were flowing from my eyes . i did n't want austin to hurt ethan . a simple shove into a pool was no reason to kill him , which i knew he was very capable of . i managed to get up enough strength to rise to the surface . when i ran out of the pool austin had ethan by the shoulder , about to throw him into the glass wall . `` austin no ! '' austin spun around , and seeing that it was i , he just held ethan there . austin had a crazed look in his eyes , but it was starting to soften . `` austin just ... just let him go . '' i murmured as his grip tightened on ethan 's shoulder . i could feel the tears pouring out of my eyes now . he glanced at my tear soaked face and released ethan . i ran to him and wrapped my arms around his neck . behind me i could hear ethan 's bare feet slapping the pavement as he ran away from austin .

i released him and turned in the direction of the pool . i dove in with deep satisfaction . i pushed open the door to our room and walked to the bed that was declared as mine . across the room was emily , and the bed next to mine was mallory 's . i pulled back the covers and lay down in my clean , dry clothes . emily was already asleep , but mallory was sitting in bed with the lights off , the volume up loud on the radio . paramore 's `` ignorance '' was playing . mallory was quietly singing along . i wondered how emily was getting any sleep at all , but as soon as my head hit the pillow i was gone . i blinked open my sleep heavy eyes . nobody else was awake yet , but paramore was still blaring . i walked over to the radio and turned it down just a bit and got in the shower . i stepped out of the bathroom to see that mallory was still asleep , but emily was awake and ready to use the shower . i gave her a brisk hug and let her get on with her morning . i turned up the radio and gave a satisfied smirk when mallory flipped over in bed groaning . i poked her shoulder , but she continued to keep her eyes closed . well , i supposed she could sleep until it was her turn in the shower . i walked over to my bed and sat down , staring out the window . there were lush forests and a full parking lot . over the trees , though , i could see a large hill , and a sign that said los angeles . i screamed and mallory jumped out of bed , her hands and hair a bright purple , as if she were about to electrocute someone . she walked over to the window , and when she saw what i was screaming about she jumped up and down . `` tape dance ! '' i grabbed her elbows and she grabbed mine and we jumped up and down yelling `` tape ! '' emily stepped out of the bathroom , `` what in the world are you doing ? ? '' i released mallory 's elbows and grabbed emi 's arm . i led her over to the huge glass window and smiled in satisfaction when her orange eyes widened . she said `` oh my god ! do you think the guys know ? '' when mallory got in the shower we locked the door and ran down the hall . i pounded my fist on dylan , mikey and ethan 's door . dylan pulled open the door , and seeing us he stepped aside . we walked into their room with excited faces . `` dylan , come here . '' he looked at me in a way that sometimes made me feel guilty , but this time it did n't . i grabbed his wrist and lugged him to their window . `` look right there . '' i pointed towards the hill and smiled when he did . `` almost there bro . '' he nodded and ran off to tell ethan and mikey . `` we 're going to go check on mallory . '' emily told them . i closed the door shut behind us and followed emi down the long hallway . we unlocked our door and stepped inside . mallory was wringing her hair out with a white towel and packing up her things into her black florence and the machine bag . i walked over to my bed and grabbed up my gray tote bag . i put it on one shoulder and walked over to the radio . it was playing fences , also by paramore . i wished i was an eleven year old again , back when i thought i was human , and all i had to do to find happiness was turn on a laptop . i sighed and plopped down on the silk sheets of the hotel bed . we would reach l.a. soon , and then austin and skye would take us to the head poweras . i was happy that rolega was n't a head powera any longer . he had turned on us all , wishing to enslave humans and control all poweras except himself and his son like dummies . his son was supposedly tall , and hung around l.a. , but you never knew if he was short , fat , and had a mustache . he could be anybody , and he , or his father would supposedly kill any powera that came in contact with him . it was scary to be so close to las angeles , knowing he could be anywhere . he could be swimming in the pool downstairs , or even in the room next to us . either of them could be . it was a lot to take in , especially because we were technically on the outskirts of l.a. mallory tapped my shoulder and i glanced at her . she laughed `` come on . we 're going into l.a. ! '' i grabbed my bag that was lying on the floor and walked over to where she and emily were standing by the door . i smiled at both of them and we walked out the door and into the hallway . we waited rather impatiently for all the guys and jessie and brooke .

jessie and brooke ran out of their room and down the corridor to us . we all whispered excitedly about how far we had come . brooke was leaned against the yellow wall , staring blankly into space . she looked pitiful and helpless , which , by the way made me want to scream at the guys for being so slow . ethan came running , and i mean running , from their room . following him were mikey and dylan , and a few doors down skye and austin were walking from their suite . when i saw austin my heart stopped , and i stared at him blankly . i loved austin , even if it was a little early to be saying that . when all of the boys caught up with us we headed for the exit of the hotel . we were in a huge group and everyone was bumping into each other . however , somehow during the entire ruckus austin grabbed my hand . i looked over at him in pure surprise . he gave me a reassuring grin . i continued to stare , but after a few moments he started to pull away . i grabbed his hand before it could get out of my reach . austin smiled down to me and i glanced away . we were walking safely down the streets of las angeles , california when austin came to an abrupt halt . `` are you guys ready to meet him ? '' chapter 8 when we looked at him in shock he nodded . `` where 's headquarters ? '' i realized that we actually had no idea where it even was . we were lucky they found us . `` in the a at the beginning of angeles . '' skye answered for austin . `` well , thats what austin told me . austin nodded and let go of my hand . `` you guys ready for some climbing ? '' we started our trek up the hillside . as we approached the huge a my heart almost stopped again . i looked up at the giant letter . austin stepped over to the wall and hit a small crack seven times . `` powera ! '' a hidden door popped open and we all took a look inside . it looked more like an evil layer than the way i had imagined it . a man in a dark cloak stepped out of the shadows . i jumped back , and almost tumbled off of the bluff . austin grabbed my arm and steadied me . i see you have brought them to me . '' the man in the cloak said to austin . the man 's stare gave me the chills . my hand groped around blindly for austin 's . his hand found mine and we healed them . i looked over to see that emily and dylan were doing the same , and on the other side of them so were skye and mallory . jessie , brooke , ethan , and mikey were in a small huddle a few feet from mallory . are you sure this is powera central ? i mean i 've seen pictures of the leader , and i ca n't see him from here . '' skye asked austin . `` this is rolega . '' austin answered . i looked over at austin with a deep fear in my eyes . `` dad i do n't think you should do this . '' austin said to rolega . rolega was austin 's dad ? he was a tall fifteen-year-old boy . `` oh really son ? you want me to spare these idiots ? i told you i might make an exception with skye , but the rest have to come with me . '' rolega replied to austin . i almost cried at that moment . i slung his hand away from mine . i ignored him when he tried to grab my hand again . i also ignored the searing pain in my shoulder as he jerked my hand . but not her . '' austin said to his father . austin pointed at me as he said her . my jaw dropped once more , but it quickly closed . `` not my friends either . look austin . it 's them and me , we 're a package deal , and you ca n't do anything to change that . '' did he think that i would abandon my friends for him ? well he was wrong . `` haley it ca n't be a package deal . you 'll die if you do n't stay with me ! '' then i guess ill die . austin turned to rolega . `` dad we need some time to talk . '' rolega nodded and he flung my friends in the building . i cried out for them , but the door was already closing . skye was still standing there , his mouth wide open . he walked over to us . `` haley , i 'm sorry . i had no idea my friend was such an ass . '' skye said to me . he turned to austin . `` come on bro ! my girlfriend 's in there ! and so are our friends .

`` look man , '' skye grabbed austin 's shoulders and began to shake them . `` you have to make your dad stop . you said he was a cool guy who loved you ! '' `` skye . if you would n't mind , id like to speak to austin . '' skye nodded and followed our friends into the a. i could hear mallory screaming at him , and my other friends were making no noise . i turned to austin . `` austin those are my friends in there ! you have to let them go ! '' `` look haley , my dads a really caring person . he loves me and he would love you , if you would just let him take your friends . '' austin said to me . you look austin ! he does n't love you ! he uses you austin ! '' `` the only person hes ever loved was your mom , and she could have stopped his madness but she did n't . are you going to make the same foolish mistake as your mom ? '' i continued to scream . austin shrugged and muttered something about how all i had to do was let his dad torture and kill my friends . i reached up and slapped him as hard as i possibly could . `` good bye austin , i 'm going to go tell my friends we 're leaving to find help for brooke . oh , and you could still stop your dad . '' he just stared at me and watched me go . he was an idiot ; a complete idiot . how stupid does a person have to be to think an evil guy loved them ? i marched into the room and screamed when rolega flung me against a brick wall next to my friends . i looked up at mallory and skye . i was eyeing austin as he fussed with his father . i could n't believe austin would do something like this . my austin . i loved him even now . was i the monster ? i was so unhappy . i continued to let the tears flow . i sat with my arms crossed and watched austin . i could n't keep my eyes off of him , even though he was a traitor . i watched as they fussed , and watched rolega spit a few cusswords . everyone around me was whispering about who knows what . i admit my brain was n't working quite right at the moment , after affect of austin . when rolega finally walked over to us i sat when he commanded us to stand . my friends looked at me like i was crazy , but i just sat there and looked up at them with a blank face . `` wait dad . '' austin ran over to rolega , and pulled him aside . he motioned with his hand for us to run . mikey , jessie , ethan and brooke ran immediately . i noted with a smile that ethan and brooke were standing really close together . emily and dylan followed no more than two feet behind them . i watched them go , and then turned and watched mallory and skye`s exit , though the former glanced back at me worriedly . skye pulled her out the door , though she was reluctant . i , however , leaned against a wall and watched austin and his father . they were murmuring in low voices , and when austin saw me he paused . `` hey dad can you go get me a glass of coke ? '' rolega walked away , muttering something about lazy teenagers . `` come on we have to get out of here , haley ! '' he stood no more than a foot away from me , so close i could feel his breath . i took a cautious step back , and didnt like that he took a step and a half closer to me . you can stay right here with your precious daddy dearest . i have a friend to help . was it part of your disgusting plan to kiss me and then have your dad torture me ? '' i hissed , my frustration seeping through . he seemed to take that in like a bullet to his heart . i would never do that to you on purpose . he grabbed my arm `` come on ! '' i jerked my arm away from his strong grasp . `` fuck off austin , just fuck off . '' i said as casually as youd tell someone your favorite color . he stopped speaking then , his eyes wide . i smirked and stomped off toward the door after my friends . i could hear him following me , but he did n't say anything . i stepped into the wide hall , my face heavy with the smirk that austin had just received . one of my hands was in my pocket , but my other one was covering my gaping mouth . no more than two feet in front of me stood mallory making out with skye , his hands looped around her waist and her fingers knitted in his hair . i cleared my throat loudly and stood with my smirk still on display . i watched as mallory jumped backwards , but smoothly regained her composure .

skye calmly put his arm around her shoulders and said , `` you knew we were together , so whats the big deal ? '' i could feel nothing put happiness for her , but i heard my stalker behind me . with tear filled eyes i stepped forward and hugged mallory briefly . i shrugged an answer to skye`s question ; i knew my voice would crack if i tried to use it . i walked over to skye and gave him a pat on the shoulder as an apology for my rudeness and stepped around them . i fled out the front door as my many tears erupted . i began to follow the rest of my friends down the steep hill . on my way down austin stopped and handed me a piece of paper . while i was going down the hill i read it : haley , i 'm sorry for what i put you through . i hope you can forgive me , because i do n't think my life will be whole without you in it . you can always come and find me , please do n't forget that . i will try to stop my father , but you should know what a father-child connection feels like . haley , i truly am sorry ! please remember that i love you very much , and i 'm sure i 'll miss you . once again , i love you . with lots of love , austin i thought about how his handwriting was so beautiful . after all he had out me through , i had to fight against my instincts to turn around and stay with him . chapter 9 the trek down the mountain was intense and annoying . we were now about half way down , and there was a cliff next to us . i was walking in the back , trying to cope with my thoughts . dylan was walking alone directly in front of me . there were a few feet in front of him , but then there was mallory and skye . in front of them was emily , jessie and mikey , who were laughing and talking as if i was n't fighting back tears just yards behind them . brooke and ethan were walking in the front , holding hands . i was too busy watching them to realize there was a rock just in front of dylan . evidently he did n't realize either because he tripped , rolled three times , and landed on the edge of the cliff . he rolled over , i guess trying to get up , but in the wrong direction . his feet went off first , which was a major plus . he somehow managed to get some footing on a small mound of dirt a few feet below the cliff edge . there was nothing for him to grab , though , so he was leaning forward , and grabbing at the rocks so he did n't topple off . i ran over to him and held out both of my arms . he grabbed each of my wrists and i did the same for him . `` come on haley pull me up , '' he said . i was looking at the one thousand foot drop below him . i gulped , happy that he had n't fallen . us poweras could go through a lot , like when i was little i would climb the tree in front of my house until i was at the highest point , and then i would jump . i would land on my feet without a scratch on me . then i would do it again , but i did n't think this was anywhere near the same thing . i gripped his arms even harder and began to pull him up . he was trying to put his feet on whatever was possible . `` dylan fell ! '' we were making very little process . nobody heard me yelling , they were already too far . i shouted , while trying to pull him up . dylan slipped and began to fall backwards , to plunge to his death . i held on tight and pulled as best that i could . i screamed when he had no more footing and i felt all of his weight . i could feel a scar on the palm of his hand where it was pressed to my wrist . the scissors . dylan started scrambling with his feet , trying to regain what little footing there was . his fingernails were deep in my skin , and i was holding on so tight his hands were turning blue . if dylan went down , i was going down too . i saw with satisfaction that his left foot had found the dirt pile again . his right foot was swinging through the air . `` haley '' he murmured . i asked , trying hard not to let go from the pain his grip brought . i jerked his wrists , trying to help him . `` we 're going to die , '' he answered , giving up . i 've wanted to die remember ? '' i wanted to slap the stupid out of him . i asked , not believing what i had just heard . `` it 's going to be alright dylan . we just have to get you up here . '' i knew from the look on his face my eyes were bright blue . he smiled and tried his foot again . his nails were sinking even farther into my arms . blood was oozing out of the spot where his thumb was . i felt some of the weight go away .

his right foot was on a small rock . i jerked on his arms as hard as i could manage . his left pinkie broke the skin too and blood was coming out . i tried hard to focus on the fact that if i let go there would n't be a dylan ross anymore . he glanced up at my piercing eyes . i nodded , seeing that his pupil was blended with his iris to a point where there was no difference . `` one ... '' he took a big breath of air . three ! ! '' i pulled with all my might and he jumped for it . we landed on the ground with a great thump ! i had landed on a rock the size of my leg . i looked over at dylan . he was lying on the ground with a cut up knee , and a chunk missing from his jeans , but we were both living . i sat up and looked down at my arms . his fingernails had left little holes , and where his right thumb and left pinky were was blood . `` thank you , '' he muttered . i nodded , not wanting to drag out the embarrassment . i rose to my feet with a deep sigh . `` youd think they would 've noticed we were gone by now . '' `` yah thats what i was thinking when we were on our way to death . '' he stood up and we began walking in silence down the mountain . there were foot prints here and there from our friends , and us when we had walked up the mountain to find- well i did n't want to think about that . `` sorry about your arms by the way '' dylan apologized . he did n't glance my way , so i guessed he hated apologies too . `` its fine , as long as you did n't end up as a pile of bones . '' i smiled and looked down at my feet . `` watch for rocks . '' i could n't bring myself to trip him , or hit him . when would we find the others ? we walked on for about ten minutes in silence , neither one of us saying a single word . i started to say something , anything to break the silence , but i saw seven teenagers running at us . we both jumped away from the edge . mallory greeted me with a huge hug . emily patted my shoulder , and then grabbed dylan 's hand . when mallory was hugging me skye saw the blood on my arm . i saw him eyeing it . when mallory released me he grabbed my arm . i looked up at him , biting my lip . he rubbed a thumb over the bruises that were starting to form from them . i flinched slightly when he rubbed the one from dylan 's thumb . `` we were walking and dylan tripped '' i began the story , and skipped over the part where he said he wanted to die for emily 's sake . they all listened intently until the very last word . dylan nodded and added things i left out from time to time . neither of us mentioned his suicide attempt . skye continued to stare at my arms , which scared me a bit . i glanced at him about every twenty seconds while i explained . once that was over we began walking again . dylan and emily were walking in front this time , and dylan was watching where he placed his feet . brooke and ethan were behind them , and then mikey and jessie . following them was skye , mallory , and i. skye stared at my arms for about two minutes longer , but after that i could n't take it anymore . skye glanced up at my face for about half a second . why do you keep staring at my arms ? '' `` my mom was an animalia like ethan . '' he paused , making sure he said the right name . then he continued `` and when she saw even the tiniest drop of blood the wolf part of her kicked in . '' i remembered with a shiver what had happened when i shoved those scissors in dylan 's hand . `` she would suck a body completely dry , and then she would run away into hiding , and because of who she was . i feel like blood would be nice . '' he finished , regret in his blue eyes . i jerked my hand away from him with a gasp . `` i 'm sorry- i mean i would n't actually- , '' he stammered . i grinned and hugged him quickly . `` i know '' i murmured , laughing . `` you dont scare me skye . what does scare me is skydiving . the only time you should be rushing down like that is in water , no offense . '' skye laughed `` none taken . '' mallory was quiet for once , holding on to skye`s left hand . i was on his right . i had n't noticed that ethan had drifted behind us . `` hi ethan . '' skye said , without looking behind him . i whipped my head around to see ethan walking along behind us . ethan replied .

he was kicking stones around and staring at the back of brooke 's head . austin had almost tried to kill ethan . why did i keep thinking about austin ? i sighed and reached up to rub my pointer finger on the lightning bolt on my forehead . i jumped a few inches from how bad it hurt to touch my skin to it ; water and electricity just do n't mix . ethan was still walking behind us when the light suddenly brightened . i glanced around me , uncomfortable from the harsh sunlight . every one of us was looking around , trying to fine the light . light poweras control the glare of sunlight , how intense it is , the heat , and other things that had to do with the sun . thats when i saw her . she had platinum blond hair that was nearly ; it went just past her elbows . her eyes were a scary shade of gold . she wore a pretty violet colored sundress over black tights . she was wearing violet shoes that perfectly matched the shade of her dress . she was a very pretty girl . she stepped toward us cautiously . her eyes landed on skye and she walked over . mallory stared with an angry look on her face when the girl hugged him and he hugged her back . `` umm '' mallory said , crossing her arms . skye looked around `` oh , yeah . this is stella , my sister . shes a light . i have n't seen her in over a year ... shes a messenger , she uses rays of sunlight to get from place to place . '' stella smiled and nodded . then she walked over to mallory . she handed her a letter , and then came to me . she handed me an envelope as well and walked in the direction of the big yellow sun . `` i 'm sorry skye , but i must go . i will see you if you assist these people to powera central . maybe i can see you before another year passes . '' stella 's voice was beautiful ! it was how i imagined alice cullens was . little bells . skye was about to reply , but she was swept away by a beam of light . with shaking hands i opened the letter . we began walking so i had to read the message while walking . i unfolded it and gasped when i saw his handwriting again ; haley , i think about you every moment . my father swears that he will catch you someday . i tell him he should let you go . i tell him it is stupid to obsess over one group of poweras that have no direct meaning to him . he just wo n't understand when i murder him . even if it is n't murder , i 'll see you again soon . i know you may not want me there at your side , but i 'll be there . one way or another , i 'll get away from the hell my father built for me . when i do get away , i 'll find you . i will see your beautiful face again . i know you do n't believe that i love you . yes , yes i know who my father is , and i know that this will take time . one time a light came to my house . she was skye`s sister ( did you meet her ? ) . lights can see the future you know . stella saw whom i would grow up to fall in love with , and whom skye would . i asked her to give me a name and she said that she did n't know names , but this girl had black hair , and electric blue eyes . she said she was an aqua . i now know she is you . now i believe in telling others the future , haley . i am still trying to figure out how any other boy could look at you and not want to love you like i do . love is a very strong four-letter word . yet i feel love for you like i 've never felt for anyone , not even my mother , wherever she may be in this world . this has been a long letter , and i 'm dialing stella 's number right now . haley , you can never forget how much i love you . i love you , please , please write me back . love , austin i read the letter over and over again , as mallory seemed to be doing with her letter . i did n't know what mallory 's said , or who it was from . skye was standing only feet away from her , so why would he write her a letter ? i then remembered that there was more to our lives than just a journey across the country , that when we flew back to georgia on the first plane there would be a family i had been missing . hugs , kisses , happy tears . i looked forward to it all . austin was another thing . what would i do when i saw his beautiful face again ? it sickened me in a way to think about how i might react , because knowing me there was no telling . i sighed and folded the letter twice . i then put it in my back pocket .

skye was watching mallory as she reread hers . i began to watch her , noticing how her eyes would fly across the page , and how they were always wide . her eyes were bright purple . i wondered what that letter could say , but i had no idea at the slightest . i did n't even know who had written it to her . i walked calmly with my friends , even though i was panicking a little . mallory had gotten a letter , a letter that she continued to reread for another ten minutes . she began to fold the paper in half , but i grabbed her arm . she looked down from the two inches taller than me . she frowned , but nodded . i unfolded the letter and read the first paragraph : dear mallory , this is cameron . mallory i miss you . your dad keeps on coming over and printing out have you seen this girl ? flyers with collin . cainen keeps on saying mal-mal whenever your parents come over , because he expects you to come in . i think he misses you too . your mom is always crying and merritt is writing songs on his guitar about you . collin is so protective of me ; he wont even let me put this in the mailbox . mallory , im scared . i dont know where you are . will you ever teach me how to play monopoly like you promised ? come back mallory ! ! ! cameron was one of mallory 's nephews , well , step-nephews . cameron was her brother collins stepson , her sister-in-laws child from a previous marriage . mallory shook her head and grabbed my arm . she flipped it to the back , where a beautiful note was written . it was more of a note than a letter : as a light i can see into the future . i looked into skye`s future and saw you and skye married , and adults . being almost fourteen , you have a long way to go . as with all relationships there are bound to be tough times . mallory , no matter what you might come to believe over the years , skye loves you very much . i look forward to getting to know you better . stella i gasped and looked up from the letter . i reached out to hug her and she hugged me back . i could feel a smile tugging at her cheeks through our hug . `` i love him haley , '' she whispered in my ear . this time yesterday i would have said the same about austin , but i was n't sure if i could say that truthfully . we pulled away from our quick hug . skye was staring at us , not with the same white eyes as before , but a natural blue . for a very quick moment i thought i might 've seen what mallory saw in him , but it was gone almost instantly . i sighed , knowing i missed austin . nobody looked over to see what was wrong . we were nearing the bottom of the hill , where we would walk from to the main part of the city . i sighed once again as i jumped the last twenty feet to the bottom . chapter 10 jessie was the last to jump down the twenty feet . she had merely peered over the edge for a good three minutes before jumping . she landed safely next to me . we all just stood around , not quite knowing where to go from here . `` so does anyone have any idea at all what building its in ? '' jessie nodded slightly `` well ? '' i asked , when she did n't say anything . `` it 's supposed to be in the center of l.a. , so i was thinking that we go to the middle of the city . '' jessie answered , a little embarrassed . i nodded and smiled `` and then we could narrow down to a few possibilities . '' i looked around the rest of the group . mallory was smiling , knowing how close we were . emily and dylan were smiling as if they agreed . mikey simply nodded his agreement . skye said nothing , but did n't object . ethan was looking anxiously at brooke . she was pale , paler than mallory was when she had strep throat one time a few years before . we began to walk , keeping brooke in the center so we could watch her . we were all in a big huddle . jessie was standing next to me . i looked over and began to talk . `` when was the last time you thought about how far away home is ? '' `` every two seconds . '' as we walked jessie looked straight ahead . the silence had returned . i said nothing when we entered the large city . the crowd around us was very massive , and it was hard to act like regular teenagers . we started losing each other in the sea of humans , and , every few minutes , there would be a powera or two . they would look at us intently , but then just walk away .

a family of about four walked past me and i was jumbled farther away from my friends . i could only get glimpses of them , but most of us were separated now . five teenage boys shoved their way through the crowd as if there were nobody in their path . as they got closer i realized they were strengths . just like austin . when they were a few feet away from me they stopped . i continued to walk , but i was forced to walk toward them . one reached out and grabbed my arm . his grip erased any doubt that they were human . the guy holding my arm asked . `` one of ... one of.. '' he leaned down to my ear , even though humans walking by couldnt have heard through the noise . `` one of us . a powera . '' surely he could smell the aqua scent on me right ? i answered , nodding . the boy stood up strait again . `` guys go get her friends and meet me back there . '' he told the other four . they nodded and then i lost their faces in the crowd . come on , '' he told me . i did n't object , i would n't dare refuse an order from any strength but austin . dylan too , but he did n't count because he just inherited some extra strength from his dad . i was willing to push my luck though , `` where are you taking me ? '' i asked jake . he answered as we pushed through the impossible crowd . `` powera central . also known as the place . thats where you were going right ? `` `` yeah , but is this what you do ? go through l.a. and help random poweras ? '' i ask to many questions as it is , but we were about to meet the leading poweras . `` no , only the ones she sees coming . '' i had no idea who 'she ' was . `` whos she ? '' when we walked past skye , jake grabbed his elbow and dragged him along with us . he sighed seeing my confused expression `` you know who i 'm talking about . the leading female . '' i nodded , getting it now . we stopped outside of a large closed door . there was a touch pad on the door . he entered about a twenty-digit number and then six letters `` p-o-w-e-r-a '' then enter . the door demanded a fingerprint . he touched his pointer finger to the pad lightly . then it began to open . the door slid open , then another slid down . one went to the left . after about twenty seconds the final door slid to the right . he stepped inside and held out his hand so it would stay open . mallory , jessie , and another one of those guys stepped inside . i lightly hugged each of them . dylan , emily and another guy soon followed . brooke and ethan walked in with another about ten seconds later . after waiting for about two and a half minutes mikey and the final guy stepped inside the doors . we all looked around nervously . it was then that i took in our surroundings . on many different tables were magical , glowing spheres that each contained an element . i looked at each one for a few moments . i looked up at the middle of the room . there were two thrones , each holding an extremely important-looking powera . they were over two thousand years old , but they were immortal . one was a very beautiful woman named ranae with a flowing dress down to her ankles . her hair was brown , but with streaks of the color of the elements . her eyes were all the colors , swirling together and always moving across her iris . her dress looked like it was made of silk , and it was an array of colors . the man , whose name was solace , had on pants and a shirt that had the same look to them as the woman 's dress . his eyes were the same as hers , and his hair was almost like hers , just shorter and blond . they both smiled at us from their thrones . she rose from her throne , as did he . they both walked down to us , smiles still on their faces . `` hello , young poweras . '' the woman nodded her greeting . we muttered stupidly . i was looking from the elements on the tables to the two powera leaders standing before me . i wanted to walk up to one of the element bubbles and touch it , just to see what would happen . i also wanted to look at ranae and solace , because i knew how large their value was to all poweras , and i knew that if they got annoyed with me they could easily kill me . they say that if you do make one of them mad enough to kill you then they would kill you with your own powera so that you would feel what others feel when you use it . i did n't want to drown to death . `` so you are here to help your friend ? '' she asked , looking at brooke . an earth protector . fourteen years of age , favorite color is green . '' she recited some facts about brooke .

brooke nodded a bit and stepped forward . `` how do you know all of that about me ? '' i was curious as well so i waited rather impatiently for the answer . the man spoke this time , `` we know everything there is to know about all poweras '' he explained `` for example. `` he pointed at jessie with his head `` jessica garrett . a firea . fourteen years of age , favorite color is red . nicknames are jessie , jess , and jessiepooh . '' he came close to laughing when he said 'jessiepooh ' . that 's what i call her sometimes . jessie smiled and her cheeks flushed . the woman nodded in agreement . i found it hard to believe that i could use my voice around these god-like creators , but i did . i asked weakly , then added , `` taking brooke 's pollution away i mean . '' ranae clearly expected us to ask that `` you see these element orbs children ? '' she asked , waving her hand toward the element bubbles . `` well all she must do is touch the earth protector element and she will be cured . '' solace beckoned brooke forward and she slowly stepped toward the green bubble he was standing beside . she reached out with a pale , shaking hand and touched it with her fingertips . green mist started creeping from her arm until it was covering her entire body . i gasped again when she began to look more like the old brooke i had known . i wondered if we would get to touch our own elements . her skin was n't as pale anymore , and her eyes were no longer a dull green , but a bright green that made me smile with happiness . he reached out and gently pulled her hand away from the element thing . i ran , hoping it was n't considered rude , and hugged brooke . jessie , emily , and mallory soon joined me . ethan walked over and patted her back . she pulled him into the group hug and we all laughed . the rest of our friends were standing back , watching . i pulled away from the hug , because the man was eyeing us like we had done something wrong . in my mind i scrolled down a long list of laws that i could 've broken . none seemed to pop out . i watched him curiously as he smiled . i looked behind me , making sure mallory was behaving herself . she was merely looking at brooke and smiling . `` would you all like to spend the remainder of the day with us , in our home ? '' i snapped my head back around while he was looking around our group . some of us nodded , others murmured yes , and some were just too shocked to say or do anything . but mallory beamed and pumped a fist in the air . she yelled , but i clamped a hand over her mouth and smiled apologetically at the leaders . i nodded my head once as his gaze filtered in our direction . `` so you 're all in agreement ? '' `` then my wife and i will escort you to our guest rooms . '' i watched , and when the woman walked over to us i looked up at her . `` and haley ? '' my head jerked in his direction as he spoke my name . i asked in a frail voice . i wondered what he could possibly want with me . `` you may ask one of us about your element question , we do n't bite . '' he smiled , and turned to lead the guys off through a door to the left . `` do n't mind him , girls , he is little strange . '' the woman said through a laugh `` after all , he is rolega brother . '' she walked toward a hall on the right . i followed closely with my friends . we stepped into a grand bedroom with three twin size beds and about five sets of bunk beds . the covers felt like silk , and they had beautiful designs and colors . slowly , i walked over to the bed that had light blue pillowcases and a blue bubble design on the comforter . i ran my fingers down the side of the twin size bed . i looked back at my friends , who were still looking at all of the beds . i sat on my bed for the night and looked around the rest of the elegant room . the curtains were splashes of different colors that resembled the elements . next to each bed there was a nightstand . on each bedside table there were an ipod , a set of headphones , a glass of soda , and a box of makeup . the carpets were like the curtains , but even more colorful and neon . i glanced back at emily , brooke , jessie , and mallory , and watched them select a bed . mallory 's bed was next to mine , and it had neon yellow pillowcases with a purple lightning design on the covers . she plopped down on the bed with a smile ; she must have admired the room as much as i did . i cast my gaze at emily .

she was staring at an orange top bunk with smiling eyes . she sat her bag on the bed and climbed up the ladder . she grinned and lay back to see a gerard way poster on the ceiling . she sat up to admire that she thought was the hottest man alive . her eyes were orange , but a warm , dull , happy orange . it was n't like the neon color they got when she became angry . i smiled and looked at brooke , who had chosen the twin size on the other side of mallory 's bed . everything was neon green , including the ipod and headphones . brooke looked over at me and gave a short little wave . i could n't help but laugh and wave back . this time yesterday , she was near death from the pollution . i looked over at jessie , who was on a bunk bed that had flames on the covers and pillows . she was smiling and admiring every little detail on the pillow she had picked up . `` do you girls like it ? '' the woman asked , still smiling . i wondered if it hurt to keep your face so stiff . we all nodded or whispered a yes . the woman nodded , `` dinner will be ready in approximately ten minutes , so you can rest or talk or do whatever you like until then . '' she then stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her . as soon as the door shut i began talking , `` ohmigod this is awesome ! '' i said and reached for the mountain dew on my nightstand . brooke smiled and walked over to my bed . i took a sip and sat it back on the table . `` would it bother you if i hugged you again ? '' she shook her head , frowning as if it was a stupid question . `` are you and ethan a couple ? '' she answered as we pulled away . she walked back to her bed . i knew everyone else would spend the ten minutes talking , but i wanted to lose myself in music . i picked the ipod up and discovered it was a touch screen . i plugged the headphones into the ipod . i put the headphones in my ears and scrolled through a list of every song ever written . my thumb tapped paramore`s song called decode . i leaned against the wall and began to think about all we had accomplished over the past few days . i remembered leaving , and having no idea i was going to meet austin , and that we would meet rolega . then i remembered the first time i saw austin . i remembered the way i had stared at him , and then i remembered what happened that night . i recalled watching , from the bottom of a hotel pool , austin almost kill ethan . i sighed ; why did i keep thinking about austin ? this journey was about something more than him , yet he was all i wanted to think about . i sighed and pulled out my headphones , knowing i was just going to keep thinking about him . i sat straight up and sat the music player on the nightstand . mallory was leaning back against her pillow listening to her ipod . brooke and emily were talking from almost complete opposite ends of the room about some rock bands . i smiled again , happy that brooke was happy . jessie was sitting with her hands in her lap , listening to brooke and emi . i stood up and walked over to jessie 's bed . i climbed the ladder and sat next to her . jessie nodded , and said `` yeah it is , i just miss home . i thought that when we got brooke healed we would take the next flight back to georgia and go home. `` i nodded `` yeah , but we do need food and rest before we see everyone again . i mean , do you want to see your mom for the first time in almost a week looking like you 're starved and beaten ? jessie smiled , and was about to say something , but the door to our room swung open and dylan , mikey , ethan , and skye stepped inside . `` they said to tell you dinner 's ready . '' dylan informed us . i jumped from jessie 's bunk without thinking and landed flat on my feet . i followed my buddies out of the room . we walked in silence after him , who had been waiting in the hallway . he led us to a large deck that had the illusion to me of being on a boat in the middle of the ocean . i leaned over to mallory , `` what do you see ? '' she looked around with her purple eyes . `` a lightning storm and it looks like we are on a cloud , '' she answered . i nodded , overjoyed that i saw water , and not electric death . `` i see us on a boat deck , in the middle of the ocean . water as far as i can see , no land at all '' i answered . she shivered , as if the idea made her cold . she asked our large group . i cast my eyes around the large space .

all of the tables were long , long enough to fit our group if we all wanted to sit together . most people gave shrugs . `` i 'll give you a minute to choose , and then i shall send a waitress . '' the woman said and walked out of the room . emily and dylan went over to a shortest table by themselves . i looked over at mallory and saw that she and skye were holding hands and going to a table near the railing of the ship . brooke and ethan had scattered to a nearby booth , which left jessie , mikey , and me . i wished austin were there . jessie grabbed my arm , so i grabbed mikey 's as i was tugged along . we sat down in the middle of the boat type room . i watched the waves as we waited . jessie looked at me . `` i wish ... '' i began , but i never finished , just averted my gaze because mallory and skye had walked over . mallory pulled out the chair next to me , so i looked up . `` we 'll sit with you guys , '' she said . i smiled , thankful for good friends . skye gave me an awkward nod , and sat next to mallory . i looked over at emily and dylan as they walked over . emily sat on the other side of me , with dylan on her other side . i grinned as brooke lugged ethan over to our table . across from me was jessie , and brooke sat on her right . ethan sat on brooke 's right , and mikey remained on jessie 's left . a pretty woman , and a man walked over . the man 's shirt said , `` tacos are the best ! '' i looked up ; making sure it was n't our human friend brayden . i pointed at the man and mallory laughed for a few seconds . the man frowned slightly , but grabbed his pen and paper to take our orders . i glanced around for a menu . `` there is no menu , we shall serve whatever you want , '' the man said with a mexican accent . i looked at his nametag : mario . could mario read minds too ? `` i 'll take a lobster with extra butter , and i 'll take a mountain dew '' i said and leaned back in my chair . i listened to everyone order , and realized we were all eating big . mallory ordered some sesame chicken , jessie ordered a pizza ; an entire pizza for one person . i realized we had n't eaten since the afternoon before in the hotel lobby . my stomach growled at the thought of a lobster . as we waited for out food mallory tapped her fingers on the table , while rambling on about how incredible twilight was to skye . jessie , brooke and emily talked about what they saw and stuff like that . the guys and i sat silently , waiting for our food . the man and woman came out from the kitchen with our plates . i grabbed a piece of lobster , dipped it in butter , and shoved it in my watering mouth . chapter 11 i stepped into the guest room , sleepy yet hyped up at the same time . i burped , said excuse me , and drank some more mountain dew . i plopped down on my bed and popped right back up . as all of the other girls came in the room i started wandering around the highly decorated room . there was a window , but you could only look out , not in . i smiled and watched the humans walk by . being a human - well , thinking i was a human- had been so simple ! i silently wished i were still about eleven when my main concern was if i would get paid for babysitting breanna and will . such a simple time that had been ... i remembered when we all turned twelve and we started loving the elements . we had all moved to our apartment building except dylan , ethan , brooke , emily , and mal . my seventh grade year had been such a hectic one , on which i had tragically had only one class with mallory , but i backed up a bit and thought about sixth grade . i remembered running around the middle school gym during our halloween dance being chased by dylan . i still remember now that i had wished to be a vampire , or maybe a werewolf . dang , i was so foolish . opening my locker for the first successful time had seemed like a dream . my life seemed like a dream now . i began thinking about seventh grade , but i felt someone behind me . i turned ever so slightly to see solace standing behind me . i looked up , strangely not dazed anymore and smiled . my voice was strong , but i felt squeamish at how close to me he stood . `` you had a question ? '' he smiled , and i could see the smile reflect in his eyes . he whirled around with a muttered 'come ' . i followed him and tried to hurry after his large strides .

my friends were following me . i glanced backwards once to see that they were trying to keep up as well . i sighed and ran . he stopped abruptly in the element room . he gestured with his arm to the glowing ball of water . i walked forward until i was barely an inch from it and reached out a shaking hand . my fingers had barely touched the floating liquid , but already i could feel the presence of water . it was surging through my body , flowing in my veins . it was overwhelmingly cold , yet boiling warm . i smiled and shoved my hand to the middle of the water and held it there with a shriek . all the cuts and bruises from the journey here were disappearing . my free hand surged up and ran along my lightning bolt . it did n't hurt anymore , but its presence was still there . it was slightly sizzling from all the h2o in my body . i smiled with pleasure when the water actually started making me wet . it had been simply making me feel it before , but now it was making me physically soaked . my hair was splattered against my wet face . through it all i was laughing and crying with joy . this was simply amazing . something was in this water that was truly wonderful . water dripped down in my open mouth , and it tasted just as well as it felt . i screamed , though , when the water touched the bolt and made me fall onto the dry floor . the bolt continued to sizzle and spark . it hurt , it hurt too much for words . i screamed as loudly as i could manage through the pain . i had always looked to water for help , so i instinctively reached for it . i cried out in agony when all the water began slipping to my forehead . my vision was blurring , as my brain was being shocked . i could n't hear anything , and the pain was giving way to numbness . as i was slipping away into the dark depths of unconsciousness , i felt a strong hand pull me away from the water . through the blur i could only see blonde hair and brown eyes . who had just saved me ? my eyes closed and i could feel nothing anymore . mallory i was wondering absently where exactly we were , when i felt overwhelming pressure on my wrist . i blinked at skye through my reddish-brown hair . what happened to haley ? `` she went someplace with that solace guy . i dont know wheres theyre going . skye looked right at me , concern glowing in his blue eyes . i intertwined my fingers with his , and began running . dylan , ethan , brooke , emily , jessie and , *shudder* mikey were behind us . i was wearing ripped skinny jeans with light purple tank top ; over that was a darker violet see-through shirt with most of one sleeve torn off , so it hung down so that the strap of my tank top could be seen . it wasnt the best outfit to be running in . jessie caught up to me . i was about two inches taller than haley , so jessie was five inches shorter than me . i looked down at her questioningly , about to ask why she looked so freaked out , but haleys screaming shocked us all . you fucking dildo ! i yelled when i saw him . austin whirled around . i thought of how he broke haleys heart , the lost look in her eyes as she left him , and the anger i felt as the doors closed on me . he obviously cared little for me , but i cared a lot for him . cared a lot about him dying soon . austin whirled around while i dove towards him , knocking him to the ground . i was digging my fingers into his skin in fury , letting the electricity that coursed through my veins slowly shock him , but he was beating me . blood covered my face from where he had probably broken my nose , but that was nothing compared to the next . he took out a fucking knife and stabbed me in the shoulder . the blade buried into my skin , and i let out a shriek of pain . i cradled my arm to my chest , but he delivered a blunt strike with the butt of his knife to my head and i fell back onto the cold floor . a gust of wind reared back and crashed into austins gut , knocking him backward and into a glass wall . i saw a flash of gray and dark brown and skye appeared next to me . the world swung and blurred sickeningly , so i closed my eyes to clear my aching head . `` mallory , oh god , do you hear me ? squeeze my hand if you can . i smiled inwardly at skyes worry and tried . but i was unable . skyes voice faded slowly as i drifted along the line of consciousness . and then , even the sticky blood pooling around my hand was gone . haley i opened my eyes to see i had been moved during my 'slumber ' . i was in another room of the elegant building .

i knew this because everything was a different element color , and only a place like this could make the dull colors like brown and gray look beautiful . i tried to sit up , but a hand kindly , but firmly , pushed me down on the pillow . i looked over and almost shouted with glee when i saw austin was the one holding me down . i grinned ; i actually felt fine , just tired . `` you were away for only days , and you hurt yourself in the presence of my loving uncle ! '' austin chuckled with a bright smile . my austin was back ! i opened my mouth to laugh but he put his hand over my mouth and shook his head . `` rest , haley . hell you nearly killed yourself ! '' i nodded slowly and let myself sink into sleep , knowing the guy i loved would be the first thing i saw when i woke . i fluttered open my blue eyes to see austin was still sitting where he was when i closed them . i smiled when he let me sit up . i leaned forward , unaware of the doctor in the room and kissed him for quite a long time . i pulled away when the doctor walked over and asked , `` miss winn , are you aware of what danger you were in ? '' i looked up at the handsome man . i only know that i was killing myself . '' austin held my shaking hand . then continued , `` you 're very lucky you did n't lose a sense . your brain was frying , actually frying from all the electricity . if he- '' he pointed at my boyfriend `` had n't pulled you away , you would be dead right now . i considered making you immortal so that the procedure would n't be so dangerous . '' i did not want in any way to be locked at thirteen my entire life . the doctor chuckled for a moment , but stopped when my frown stayed solid . `` he told me that that was n't the best way to go so i just began doing what i could . '' he said , referring to austin again . i nodded , but bit my lip . austin 's hair was burned a little , and i had been too tired earlier to realize that he was looking pretty mad , but worn out at the same time . the doctor nodded and left the room . i turned to austin , a worried look on my face . he frowned and leaned toward me . i shook my head and shoved on him a little . `` no , you are going to tell me . '' `` haley , do n't be mad at me , '' he said . he had to have done something really bad if he thought i could be mad at him . when i said nothing more he continued . `` when i got there , mallory shot me with a lightning bolt- '' he started , but i interrupted him . i mean , mallory had tons of reasons to be mad at him , but still `` just , just wait haley . '' he said , looking a tad guilty . i nodded , sat up , and faced him . `` so i ... i kind of started beating her up ... '' his voice dropped at the end . `` au- '' i began , but this time he cut me off . you said you 'd wait . '' i sighed , but nodded . `` and we , i guess started battling . but i had a knife so i beat her . '' he had to cover my mouth to stifle my screaming . he said the rest in a rush . `` while everyone else was trying to wake her up i rushed out with you , and i went to the only place i knew i would n't be found . haley , we 're at my dad 's place . '' he uncovered my mouth , and i knew he was finished . `` we 're at your fucking dad 's place ? '' `` austin silvers ! '' my hand made contact with his face with a sickening smack . `` i ca n't believe you did that to her ! austin , she 's my best friend ! '' let her kill me ? '' he huffed , clenching his fists . for someone with a short temper he sure could control himself around me that made me all the angrier . `` if you can watch yourself around me , why ca n't you do that with everyone else ? '' i jumped from the hospital type bed and ran as fast as i possibly could out of the room . i could hear his footsteps behind me as i ran . i ran until i found the exit to the huge letter and shoved open the door with a cry . austin had caught up with me and grabbed my shoulder . i spun around and tried to control the tears threatening to overflow . `` ca n't we just talk about this ? '' i shook my head and continued to run . i ran until i was going without oxygen . i could still hear his footsteps behind me , but he needed oxygen . i was an aqua , so i did n't need it as much . his footsteps stopped abruptly after a few more feet . i did n't look back , just kept running .

when i was approaching the cliff dylan had almost fallen off of i stopped and walked over . i took tiny steps until my feet were less than an inch away from the edge . i began crying then and let my tears just escape . i began thinking about how i should probably make sure mallory was okay , and how i 'd like to see my mom again . i closed my eyes , and , with shaking legs , jumped . on the way down i regretted my suicide attempt . it was like nothing else to see my death coming , but once gravity claimed me there was nothing i could do . i could only scream and wish i had n't done this . i definitely was screaming , but there was a scream that was n't mine . the voice was low , and it was above me . i glanced up and saw austin running down the mountain . i knew he would n't make it , but i silently prayed he would . i shut my eyes and landed in austin 's waiting arms . we rolled quite a few feet . he was holding me very tightly . man , his arms were going to be messed up . i screamed with i felt my leg break and heard the sickening crack . i was covered in my blood . i cried into austin 's shoulder . he was screaming just as loud as i was ! i heard more cracks and some of them were n't from me . i groaned when we came to a stop . i could hear skye telling me everything was all right , and mallory 's crying . i whimpered when skye moved me . the pain was worse than anything i 'd ever felt in my life . mallory i watched as haley landed in his arms . i was crying , crying for many reasons . the first reason being that skye was upset . the second , and most important , was that my sweet best friend was about to die in his arms . another was that the fractured and stabbed shoulder , broken nose , bruises , and other injuries were all throbbing . skyes arm tightened around me . he whispered , looking upwards in fear . i am in something close to agony but lets not talk about that right now . sure , haley was blinded by love , but i would have given up as soon as he admitted who his father was . when my very best friend landed i guess the faggot-face did sort of break her fall . they went rolling as soon as he caught her . austin was holding her close to him . i remembered the rumor in sixth grade that said if you touched a person for more than eighteen seconds it was considered ... well , rape . they were touching for longer than that . i would have laughed , or shot austin in the ass with a lightning bolt , but i had more important issues . skye scooped me up in his arms and ran to haley . even my boyfriend 's gentle touch was too much . i did n't know it then , but austin had driven that knife between the sockets in my shoulder and screwed it to hell , given me a concussion with his goddamn knife , and broken my nose and a rib . i was only defending haley and trying to get back at austin for all he had done . my side throbbed where my broken rib bone was pressed against my side , and i flinched , almost tripping skye . my skye sat me next to them and rushed over to haley . as far as i was concerned austin could die then and there , but my bestie must be saved . i had n't seen her jump , but i suspected she had n't made the same mistake as dylan . haley whimpered sort of like a puppy when skye untangled her from austin 's unconscious grip . `` haley it 's alright . it 's skye , and mallory is over there . '' my boyfriend said as he observed her wounds . i watched her roll her head towards me . `` i love you , mallory ; dearly , but not queerly . i burst into a new set of tears when haley said the words we always used to prove we were n't gay . even haley thought she really was dying . haley i closed my eyes when mallory started crying again , but through her tears i heard a small `` i love you too . '' but that was the last thing i heard that made sense . now there were many voices . i heard a squeal by brooke and a shout that was probably from jessie . i just let somebody -i was n't sure who- pick me up . i leaned my head against their arm when they ran at the speed only a powera could travel by . i opened my eyes a crack and saw a black sleeve in my face . i closed my eyes again , knowing dylan was faster than my other friends . i heard austin grunt and then the world went black . chapter 12 i was awake , but the pain meds made me groggy . i did n't open my eyes , but simply listened . i was in some sort of hospital .

i could hear the monitor beside me beeping in tune to my heart rate and some people talking . there was another monitor to my left that seemed to be for someone else . i opened my left eye a tiny crack and saw i was n't in slings . must be a powera hospital if they had magically healed my bones . cool , these people knew what they were doing . i opened both eyes all the way . the room was full of people . a lot of my friends were sitting in chairs between my bed and another . i looked over to my left and saw mallory , who was still sleeping . in the chairs were ethan , skye , emily , and jessie . i realized there was somebody standing between mallory and i. i looked up at brooke who was crying . brooke truly was a sensitive person . i then realized i was crying as well . streaked with blood . realizing i was awake , brooke turned to me and grabbed my hand . nobody else had noticed yet . brooke was being quiet , just stroking my bloody hand . mikey and dylan walked in the room . mikey tossed ethan a carton of milk , saying , `` there was n't chocolate milk . '' he went and sat beside jessie , not noticing my being awake . dylan , on the other hand , ripped open a bag of doritos and shoved one in his mouth . i would have rolled my eyes , but that would 've hurt too much . he looked at mallory , then my friends in their chairs , and then me . `` oh , hey , she 's awake . '' i knew that was his way of being relieved , so i did n't pay much mind to his lack of attention . everyone looked at me and was instantly by my side . i ignored their fretting and looked at mallory . it was austin 's fault she looked so bad . magic could n't heal scars , and we both had a good many . was mallory okay ? did my friends know it had been a suicide attempt ? where was ... . where was austin ? i really need to stop thinking about him ! `` . i had n't realized i 'd said that out loud . i simply ignored his question . he did look concerned though . she knew what i was really talking about . she bit her lip and answered . no idea where , he just took off when he knew you were n't gon na die . '' she answered my unspoken question . everybody but me looked at her like she was crazy . i tried to smile , but it ended up looking more like a smirk . jessie answered this time . her sweet voice always calmed me down , `` almost home . we ran to the nearest hospital , '' she looked at dylan to see if he would note who had carried me . when he did n't she continued `` and they sent you in a helicopter to atlanta . we had to take a separate plane that took like , eight hours ? `` `bout three days . '' brooke answered . `` and we 're gon na go as soon as you and mal are up to it . '' when the powera leader had taken me to the element room he probably did n't know it would lead to this . i yelled when her heartbeat started speeding up on the monitor . ethan clamped my mouth shut with his palm . `` it 's just because she 's waking up . '' i nodded and looked down at his hand with a raised eyebrow . he jerked it away . i watched mallory until she opened her eyes . i pointed at her with the arm that did not have an iv attached to it . the crowd was between the two of us now . brooke started to let go of my hand , but i grabbed her wrist . not just you , but everybody . '' she nodded and leaned down to hug me . i let her do so . when all attention was finally on mallory , i looked out the window . i felt like crying again , but i think i 'd cried all of my tears three days ago . the doctor walked in just then . `` hello , i was notified both patients are awake . `` . he was watching mallory and i with quite an interested gaze . i watched as he checked the monitors and nodded to himself . when he got to me he said `` feeling better ? '' i nodded my response . `` well , you two should be able to leave soon . just be happy you 're poweras . '' he took the iv out of my arm and judged the huge scar on mallorys shoulder blade . your arm if probably going to be numb for the next few days , due to the drastic surgery we had to perform on it to save it from amputation , so try to not abuse it . he told mallory , and then turned to me . `` and you should be very happy a strength broke your fall . he your boyfriend ? '' `` that is n't any of your business now is it ? '' he merely nodded and finished looking at stuff .

`` did he ever show up here or did he let dylan do all that work ? '' i lay back against the pillow . i could n't help but notice he never answered . `` you two may leave now . '' i sat up and moved the covers . this truly was a powera hospital , you could tell from how they had let me wear my clothes instead of a hospital gown . i was wearing neon green converse , jeans , and a black tee . the t-shirt was ripped several times in straight lines across the front . that 's how it had come . i had on a neon green tank top under it . i had a green , blue , and purple bracelet and a black ring on my right hand . i was wearing my favorite colors . jessie grabbed my elbow to steady me when i stood up . i smiled and walked with my friends out of the hospital . i took a steady step away from jessie 's hand with a smile . i could stand on my own . i was still a little groggy ; therefore my thoughts were n't very clear . emily answered . home was so close , yet so , so far . we found a couple cabs soon and climbed inside them . i was in a cab with jessie and mikey . on the way home i thought about austin . i said nothing about him to anyone , but they seemed to know what i was thinking , because jessie patted my leg and whispered , `` you 'll figure this out . '' `` do you know how i 'fell ' ? '' i asked , putting air quotes around 'fell ' . `` my guess is you jumped . it 's alright haley , everybody attempts it at some point . '' i pretended i did n't know what she meant . jumping` off a cliff and landing in your sorta-boyfriend`s arms ? '' `` i know ... '' i said . i closed my eyes and lay back in the seat . i slept the rest of the cab ride home . i handed the man my cut of the cab bill . i gave him a five for tips . he said and collected jessie and mikey 's money as well . i walked over to mallory quickly . she rolled her purple eyes and nodded . id try to kill myself too if the guy i loved was a total dildo . i laughed and hugged her tightly . together , we walked into the parking lot of our apartment building . i reached up and felt my scar . i was getting used to the jolt i felt form it . i wondered if it would ever go away , but then i saw my mom . i ran into my mother 's open arms when she came into view . i yelled and hugged her as hard as i could . i more than likely looked like a big baby but my friends were doing it too ! i smiled and closed my crystal blue eyes . she held me out at arm 's length and examined all of my scars . `` alright now where 'd all these scars come from ? '' `` long story short , i fell off a cliff . '' `` and this , '' i pushed my hair out of the way , `` is when me and mallory battled . looks cool , though , huh ? '' `` uh , sure , harry potter . how did you survive falling off a cliff ? '' i bit my lip , how would i answer that ? luckily mallory ran over , hand in hand with skye with cainen balanced on her hip and the toddlers head nestled into her neck . she looked perfectly content with skye gently holding her bad arm and her beloved little nephew clinging to her neck . as soon as cainen spotted me he laughed and yelled , hay ! i waved and smiled at him . i looked at skye with a grin ; he had been the first one to reach me when i landed . `` hey haley . '' `` not sure if the wheelers like me very much . well , cept the baby . '' he rubbed mallorys nephews swarthy little head . i put my hand over my mouth to stifle my laughter . `` this your mom ? '' mom this is skye . skye , this is my mom . i 'm not good with this . '' skye nodded at my mom . `` oh , and do n't feel bad about mals family . they 're a little hard to get to know at first . '' he nodded and shrugged it off . `` and hello to you skye , do n't really remember you though . '' my mom said in greeting . `` oh they uh , met me and austin along the way .

`` second reason is that my parents said to ask if anyone wants to go to dairy queen with us . '' she finished , eyeing me and adjusting cainen awkwardly with her good arm . at last she put him down and let him hug my leg , then took his little hand . `` yeah i 'm up for it . my mom gave a nod and went back in the apartment building to grab her purse . i turned back to mallory . `` i know what he did , and i truly am sorry , but i ca n't ... i ca n't ... just imagine if skye was the bad guy . '' i turned to skye `` which you are n't . '' i just kept babbling . `` haley , just go . '' mallory said with a wink . i nodded and walked toward him . i had noticed the immediate anger that hit her eyes when she looked in his direction . it was n't until i was at the tree did i realize skye was punishing him . his breath was being taken away , and the wind ripping around him was almost blinding . i turned around and pleaded with skye `` stop . i held out my hand to an exhausted looking austin . he grabbed it like a life preserver . skye`s eyes widened . he must not have noticed he was still torturing austin . i rolled my eyes and climbed up next to him . we said nothing for a minute , just stared at each other . i said to end the silence . `` umm no problem . haley , you did it because you were scared to love me , were n't you ? '' i looked up at him with tear-filled eyes . i nodded when the tears escaped . `` come here , i got you . '' he reached toward me , but i smacked his hands . i pulled myself together and leaned against the trunk of the tree . `` we have things to talk about , but before we do you have an apology to give . '' the seconds ticked by until he finally talked . `` yeah , yeah i guess i do . '' he started to jump from the tree . `` at dairy queen . you have money right ? '' he nodded and sat back on the branch . `` then ... '' i trailed off when i leaned forward and kissed him smack on the lips . he pulled me really close to him and i broke the kiss . austin whispered back . `` but , i know i love you . '' i grabbed his hand and jumped from the tree . we walked over to mallory and skye . skye grinned at me , but avoided austin . i could tell he was still mad . `` hey haley , how are you punishing uglynuts ? '' mallory asked impatiently . `` i was thinking you could do that when i 'm not around . '' mallory gave me a huge grin and thumbs up . i turned to my kinda-boyfriend . you were gon na say something ? '' austin looked at mallory , `` i 'm sorry . the hand that was n't holding mine extended to her . once i get payback we 'll call a truce . '' mallory answered . austin nodded , sighed , and let his hand fall back to his side . our other friends and our parents started coming over then . i leaned against austin and smiled . i was home again , and austin was here with me this time . we could worry about rolega later , now we were just going to enjoy life like a bunch of normal teenagers . epilogue i sat up in bed with a smile on my face . i could finally be like a normal teenager again . i got ready for school and went into the kitchen . i was dressed in denim pants , gray flats , and an orange t-shirt that said `` samuel park , colorado '' . i was wearing a pink and orange necklace that dangled all the way down to my belly button and a white ring in the shape of a heart . my mom , grandma , and grandpa were already gone for work , but i did n't care . i grabbed my key and went into the hall . i locked the door behind me and went to the elevator . i pushed the lobby button . now i had to go back to school , which sucked , but at least i was n't on the other side of the country jumping off a cliff . austin had enrolled himself in our school , so now we had school together as well . when the elevator doors opened i saw him talking to skye near the door . they were obviously waiting for mallory and i , because when i walked up skye said `` now just mal . `` . i grabbed austin 's hand while we waited . `` skye are you enrolled at our school too ? '' i said when mallory stepped out of the elevator , dressed in a white transparent tee with a black tank top on under it . she also had a black vest on , and black leggings . her shoes were white and gold flip-flops . when we got to school there was a lot of stares .

the priest had grown up in a large house , always full of interesting people , always the best of everything . unlike many families struggling through the lean post-war years , they had enjoyed holidays abroad , especially here in malta . they had been better off than most . his mother had died after a short illness whilst he had been in seminary , the detail of that illness a shock , only being revealed to him after she had passed away . returning to their home in basel for the funeral , he had found it stripped of everything , his father offering a single goodbye as they passed at the cemetery . now , little more than a year later , his father had summoned him here , a cheap apartment on the island of malta , living in squalor , an old revolver visible under the pillow . the old man tried to speak , lifting a shaky hand . buried in zug buried the treasure nazi treasure . the priest stared hard at his father , not sure he had heard the words correctly , a chill running through him . nazi treasure ? buried next to the treasure the files files of great value . the words were repeated many times , the old man using his remaining energy to desperately force them out before he slipped into unconsciousness . unable to rouse his father , the priest lifted the pile of hand-written notes , scanning the first page whilst he considered fetching a local doctor , and debating how he might go about finding such a person at this late hour . he took several measured steps towards the door as a cat cried out again , enough time to read the first paragraph . the written words caused him to turn , and to stare open-mouthed , at the seemingly lifeless form of his father . by dawn , the priest had re-read the numerous pages four times , catching only an hours sleep during the night , the tear-tracks down his face distinct in the amber light of dawn . setting light to each page in turn , he let the burning paper float down into apartments chipped and rusted bathtub , staring at them as they changed colour and slowly folded in on themselves , their hideous story lost forever . gathering up the brittle ashes , he flushed them down a yellow-stained toilet , another cat crying forlornly at him through a cracked bathroom window . returning to the bedroom , he snatched the pillow out from under his fathers head , placed it over the old mans face and pushed down with force and anger in his arms . forgive me , lord , he said in a strained whisper as he pressed down . leaving the apartment , and trying not to trip over the dozen hungry cats littering the stairway , the priest considered the final line his father had written , and what it might mean : find the englishman , beesely . dallas , texas . the police officer released the safety on his rifle , and waited ; calm , confident , resolute in his beliefs and his purpose . a moment later cheering signalled the approach of president kennedys motorcade , the procession visible now through a crack in the wooden fence he now stood hidden behind . the officer had just a few seconds to make a choice that might change history , his grip on the rifle tightening . as he observed his intended target three shots rang out , distorted echoes bouncing off nearby buildings , an overlapping chorus of screams and shouts rising up . he felt oddly relieved , and heaved an involuntary breath . lowering his rifle , he peered over the wooden fence at the chaos . in his black and white police motorcyclists helmet , he studied the scene through his sunglasses : the president was slumped forwards , not a visible target , not that it mattered now , it seemed the job had been done . the rifles barrel and stock were unclipped in haste , the weapon now a third of its original length . his motorcycles pannier hung open ready and the rifle parts fitted well , covered in a moment as the pouch clipped shut . throwing a leg across , he pushed the bike for ten yards , free wheeling before starting it . pulling off quietly , he gently accelerated , the bikes radio buzzing with shouted orders and requests for clarification . a quick glance over his shoulder confirmed an empty parking lot . with the sun beating down on deserted streets , he drove four blocks , the only thought on his mind being what a pleasant day it was for such a cold act . he pulled into the next alley . turning hard and then braking , he passed under a shutter door being held open for him , halting with a squeak in the dark interior of a large workshop , the shutter immediately dropping down behind him with a clatter . the officer dismounted , kicking out the bikes stand before calmly taking off his helmet . a punctured oil barrel enclosed and funnelled a roaring fire just outside an open rear door , the police helmet tossed in , his sunglasses and gloves inside . came a familiar voice from the shadows . the officer took a moment to adjust to the darkness . none at all , he said in a nasal and clipped english accent , calm and casual as he continued to strip down .

our friends loosed off three shots , so one fired twice . poor old oswald , in the wrong place at the wrong time . did you need to , you know ? echoed from the shadows . no , the englishman answered as he undressed , amused by the other mans discomfort . and would you have ? the second man asked after a moment , standing and moving into the light . without hesitation , the englishman firmly stated , as if proud to issue the words , grabbing fresh clothes . i manage to see these things quite clearly . the second man nodded , putting his cigarette back on his lip . listen , old chap , he mocked , stepping closer and checking over his shoulder . family would prefer if you didnt get too friendly with my kid sister given who , and what , you are . the englishman attended his clothes . oliver , lets be clear about this ; she was the one making all the moves . and dare i remind you that it was you who introduced us . a surprise given just who , and what , i am . he tipped his head and formed a thin smile as he buttoned his shirt . and the good lady is not quite the kid sister . shes twenty-six , divorced with two kids , and could probably drink us both under the table ! oliver shrugged a reluctant agreement with that last statement . cmon , old chap . the new chairman of the lodge is waiting . he hasnt yet had the pleasure that is morris beesely from englandshire . june , 2007 . the joke . sir morris beesely woke from a daydream certain he could hear gunfire . sitting up and letting down his legs , fogged for a moment , he observed delicate beams of sunlight highlighting dust , his mind still in dallas on that sunny day . easing up and stretching , he peered through a crack in the curtains , noting his bodyguard below with a resigned sigh . oh gawd . sweat rolled down the bodyguards face , today being a particularly warm day for stalking prey . he now wished that he had not worn his silk simpsons family shorts , they were stuck to his skin . he stood motionless , pistol ready , breathing steadily . ignoring any distractions , he waited for the right moment . nine years in the sas , ten years working as a freelancer for various mercenary and intelligence groups , he had seen better days ; now he had something to prove . he had missed this quarry fifteen times already , but this time it would be different , he told himself . with his weapon held on-target , he wiped sweat away from his eyes with the sleeve of his suit jacket , his sponsor observing unseen from a high window . the gunmans quarry foolishly gave away its position . this one would be different , they would see , he could do it . he pulled his sweaty shorts out of the crack of his backside , and fired . quickly adjusting his aim a fraction he let off six rounds , bracketing the target , spent 9mm cartridges flying high and wide . he closed the gap and fired again at point blank range with anger and determination , willing the bullet into his intended victim . he readied his trowel , determined that they were not getting away . digging quickly , he opened up the moles latest mound , right down to the small two-way tunnel . with a sigh he holstered his weapon , his sponsor turning away from the window . his sponsors housekeeper enquired from the edge of the lawn , the lady stood with a tea towel in her hand . the gunman lit up as his sponsor came into view . since leaving active service , and retiring to work as a driver , his sponsor and mentor had been very tolerant . the old man asked , no hint of emotion evident . the gunman lowered his head and dropped his shoulders . two hours of shooting up his sponsors lawn with a 9mm pistol had produced no visible results ; no deaths , not even a wounding . the garden moles had won . the housekeeper was sympathetic . maybe if you wore your old camouflage clothing ? slowly , his sponsors features distorted . he bent double , clutching his chest . laughing hard , but silently , he crumpled and fell over . bemused , the housekeeper did not understand the cause of the hysterics , rushing to the aid of her elderly employer . she had not meant to be cruel about the gunmans efforts . the gunman walked inside , his head lowered , checking his watch . the simpsons were on in five minutes , time for a cuppa . not a pleasant way to die 1 with his shoes squeaking on the recently polished floor , george willis , assistant to the new director of mi6 , approached an isolated office in the basement of the mod , central london . he knocked on the glass door and entered without waiting . willis ? the sole occupant squinted over the rims of his glasses in unwelcome recognition of the younger visitor , the occupier half buried in files .

the disgruntled employee , fifty-five at his last birthday , sat wearing new red braces over an off-white shirt hiding a slight frame . his grey hair grew thin , his cheeks thinner . after a moments thought he jabbed towards the kettle with his pen , a firm hint . kettle has boiled . willis sniffed . whats in the kettle , toby ? scotch ? he asked with a knowing grin as he took a seat . toby stared back for several seconds . its the cleaner they use for the lino on the floor , it smells terrible , he stated . he threw down his pen , eased back and took a big breath . so what brings you down to purgatory ? well , youre really , really old , and rumoured to be a really sneaky shit . toby forced up his eyebrows in theatrical surprise . compliments already , you must be after something . willis eased back and crossed his legs . sir morris beesely . toby allowed himself a thin smile , an old memory surfacing . that name takes me back to the good old days ; long lunches , fiddling your expenses , being politically incorrect , genuine enemies to spy on . he was old school , proper spy . knew ian fleming they said . toby frowned in surprise . beesely ? god , is he still alive ? he asked as he poured out two small drinks . yes , apparently . someone lifted his old personnel files , so madam will not be pleased . that is , of course , if i tell her . ah yes , the new lady of the manor , dame helen eddington-small . how long now , three weeks in the hot seat ? shes not one of the boys , but better at her job than certain age-ed gentlemen , toby finished off without looking up . so what about this beesely character ? willis pressed . toby curled a lip as he thought back to his early career . he was quite the lad . excellent at his job , dont get me wrong , but always managed to get into trouble and , strangely enough , he always managed to get away with it . he lifted his head , staring out of focus . bit of a ladies man if i recall , even in later life . he focused on willis . anyway , they never managed to make anything stick . not even that kosovo thing . kosovo ? willis challenged . that would have been well after he retired . agn security limited , toby whispered , glancing around the small office , despite the fact that they were the only occupants . i know the outfit . theyre heaped full of ex-sas muddy-boot-wearing types . unofficial recruiting ground for your more energetic field agents ... when the lads are short of money , of course . so whats the connection ? willis asked , hiding a smile . again , toby curled his lip , giving a slight shrug . beesely used to own it , may still do . madams illustrious predecessors used to sub-contract the odd job to agn - plausible deniability . but i had heard he retired from all that long ago . got a photo ? why , lost his file ? toby pointedly enquired . willis heaved a sigh . photo ? only in my mind , toby mouthed in an exaggerated fashion . five ten , thin , bit of a stoop , walks quickly . he shrugged , grimacing . bald , thin face . looks like someone of his age , i suppose . saw him last year - well , maybe five years ago - at a reunion bash somewhere . cant remember where , so it must have been a good one . still sharp as a tack , mind you . he remembered me , and all my misdemeanours . didnt catch you drinking on the job , did he ? willis took a sip and winced . so whats this kosovo thing you mentioned ? toby grinned at his visitors discomfort . it happened during the early days of the conflict , when i had a desk with a window . beesely sent recon teams in under the radar . some got themselves caught , but the powers that be wouldnt send a rescue after them , so he funded one himself . he rescued some ex-sas trooper by sending in some other ex-sas trooper . its quite the after-dinner story in some circles . williss expression suggested they had the time . toby reluctantly continued , well , this one ex-sas guy , a freelancer for madams predecessors , ricky something if i recall , he went in after johno . thats beeselys driver now , by the way , saw him at the reunion . willis eased his face forward . his driver ? back then this johno fellow was a freelancer for your lot . he went into bosnia a few times , apparently successfully blowing things up . anyway , he went into kosovo to blow up some ammo dump . parachuted in , walked twenty miles and made a nice big bang . willis offered a look of mock surprise .

johno faced the wall again . bloody hell , he let out . and whats these swiss boys interest in beesely again ? you tell us when you find out , general rose stated . well drop you around at the lap-dancers , the second man offered . johno faced his old boss , offering a hard glare . like i could get it up now ! he finished the last beer can . any backup on this deal ? none , came quickly back , the reply sounding final . contact routes ? johno stood . love to say that its been a pleasure , but all things considered , i really wish i hadnt got out of bed this morning , fuckers . he tipped his head at the second officer and left . with the door slammed shut the second officer stood . can we rely on him ? general rose eased up . all our psych evaluations say hes certifiable . if he were still in the service hed be sectioned . if he were a horse or a dog hed be put down ! but i know doc manning , and he has faith in johno , although god knows why . we even bugged some of his sessions . he has acute post traumatic stress disorder ; regressive childhood behaviour , shouting nightmares , chronic drinking , hand tremors , the works . he wears t-shirts with little messages on them , phones people at random and takes the piss . about the only adult thing he partakes of is the prostitutes , and even thats weird . the second office asked , dreading the answer . never takes his clothes off , just gets the old todger out , keeping the scars hidden . why are we even using him ? the second officer complained . on something this important ! general rose sighed . and right now hes in the right place at the right time . five minutes after the officers had vacated the room an elderly cleaner let herself in , an unlit cigarette balanced on her lip . she reached under the bed , fiddled around and removed a listening device , pocketing it . she took another from behind the mirror , a third from the bathroom before leaving , the beer cans still littering the room . 3 not a pleasant way to die . willis uttered the words as much to himself as his superior , stepping now across the spacious office of the new director of britains overseas intelligence service . at forty-five she remained attractive , if a little thin in the face for his liking . in her subordinates opinion , she had earned the post despite being noticeably younger than her predecessors ; he regarded her as being more politically astute . he placed the report that he had been reading onto her desk then , as an afterthought , rotated it the right way up for her to study . she shot him an intolerant look . i doubt there are too many pleasant ways to die , she commented , a dry and husky voice out of character with her trim and pleasant appearance . willis slipped down into one of two large leather chairs arranged in front of her noticeably uncluttered desk ; it supported just two flat-screen computer displays , a neatly recessed keyboard and a multi-buttoned desk phone . not something youre going to want to read before bedtime , he pointed out as she started to scan the front page . she raised her eyes toward him without moving her head , then focused again on the report as he pointedly added , or any other time , come to that . she hesitated as she held the document , issuing a sigh . this poor guy was tortured at length . and expertly , might i add . they made sure he stayed awake and understood the full weight and magnitude of what he had done , whom he had upset . they administered adrenalin injections , supplemented with cocaine on the gums finger toothbrush ! cocaine ? apparently it makes the tactile senses stronger , and it stops the attendant party from falling asleep , or inconveniently fainting too often during torture . she eased further back into her chair , her expression blank . they took to him with a blowtorch , all captured on high quality video , this guy surviving for some six hours . towards the end of the tape they , well , got rather nasty with him . nasty with him ? she repeated with a pained expression . yes , he grimaced , remembering some of the video images . as best we can figure , the victim was our mafia hit man , the guy on our watch list . not an easy task , getting reliable intel , since these guys play their cards very close to their chests . and our mans connection ? she asked , rising and walking to the window . our man had been tailing the deceased from italy to switzerland . just at the point that our luckless mafia man was being bundled into a van our man became aware of five other men , agents of some sort , suddenly surrounding him . she glanced over her shoulder briefly with a questioning look . anyway , they politely escorted him back to the swiss-italian border , gave him some local wine and cheese and bade him a fond farewell .

at that dame helen turned around , her eyes widening . bade him a fond farewell ? with a gift basket of wine and cheese for his troubles . good quality stuff , apparently . she lowered her head , thinking hard as she returned to her desk . he added , local police or intelligence services seemed to be in on it , waved them through an impromptu checkpoint . the swiss intelligence services abilities rank just above those of luxembourg , and slightly lower down the scale than those of my local boy scouts , she illustrated . we should know , we used to train them until they went all political in the 1990s . now the germans and french train and equip them . she took a breath , staring out of focus . so just what , exactly , is going on over there ? she thought aloud , tapping a foot . all we know is that the mafia hit man , alleged hit-man , was linked to those on our watch list , hence our interest . and its definitely the same mafia guy in the video . she eased forward . which was sent to the supposed mafia mans boss , found its way into the hands of the italian not-so-secret service , and to us some four weeks later . in a nutshell . doesnt make a lot of sense i know it doesnt make any damn sense ! he sank further into his seat . this unknown group is well connected - enough to influence or corrupt swiss police - ruthless beyond russian standards in what they do to this poor man , but send our man off with a packed-lunch and his tail between his legs . she pulled a file out of a drawer . ive been doing some digging . i can tie this group in to five other murders with the same taste in snuff videos . apparently , its called getting the chair . they were all video taped , all victims sitting in a chair as theyre tortured . one lasted fourteen hours . she regarded her assistant for a moment . yes , ouch . focusing back on the report she said , all of the victims were male , well built . two more were mafia hit men , several were russians - one rumoured to be a particularly nasty russian hit man with chechen links . another was a former serbian special ops man , rumoured to have raped and killed the children of a german industrialist before attempting to ransom the father , and one was later identified as a slovakian planning an attack on the pope . a very oddly mixed bag . he raised his hands , palms upturned . all bad boys , no tears shed . his boss shot him a disapproving look . its almost as if there is a vigilante element to these killings . its definitely the same group , cheekily confident in their ability to evade the authorities , and cheekily sending in a video each time , usually to the employer of the victim or associates of the victim . quite a deterrent , he emphasised . any details from the police in these countries ? great professionalism each time by the attackers , not so much as a fingerprint or witness in any of the cases . suspiciously little evidence , as if the police themselves were colluding across four countries . that hardly seems likely . she glanced up at nothing in particular . then we have a mystery on our hands . willis stood . not to worry , he offered . she had put her glasses back on and now frowned at him over the rims . whoever this group is , theyre only killing the scum of europe . he stepped towards the door as she returned to her previous file . stopping and turning , he said , oh , one more thing , completely unrelated . some old files have gone missing . with a pained expression he informed her , yes seems that someone has removed all files that we had on an old boy , well before your time , former section head in the seventies and eighties , a sir morris beesely . beesely ! she jumped up , slamming her hands onto the desk . oh , god , she added , her shoulders dropping . he took a step closer , surprised by her reaction . this gentleman is almost eighty years old . she forced herself calmer . he was rumoured to have stolen prime minister harold wilsons private journals , from number ten , in the seventies . weve been searching for those journals for a long time . besides he waited . 4 on a small sailboat in a washington d.c. marina , senior cia analyst james kirkpatrick studied the report that had just been placed down for him on the polished galley table . as he read and absorbed each line his face inched closer to the paper , his features hardening , his eyes widening . finally he raised his head and stared at the elderly , white-haired man sitting opposite . the white-haired man enquired , although it had clearly not been meant as a question . he glanced at the yachts brass barometer , gently tapping it as the boat moved , a familiar creaking sound issued by the boats rope moorings .

kirkpatrick eased back , taking off his glasses . how do you wish to proceed ? simply close observation for now . we have to be very , very careful with this . when he was active , beesely knew about our ... activities in this area . if he reappears with a connection to this swiss group just as we are finalising activities then , well he upturned his hands . a serious impediment , kirkpatrick finished off . whats beeselys link to our swiss cousins ? we dont know yet , but i have taken steps to find out . pity is , theres a prize greatly valued in switzerland , at least in the short term , if thats what beesely and his people are up to to get at it . do you think beesely knows whats hidden in switzerland ? or whats hidden within the k2 organisation for that matter ? all we have at the moment is a great deal of k2 intercepts , all concerning beesely . kirkpatrick glanced again at the report . do you think they aim to kidnap him , to get information ? beesely hasnt attended a meeting for ten years , hasnt worked on any sensitive projects for twenty . what would be his value to k2 ? well , theyre interested in him for some reason ? kirkpatrick pressed . henry took a breath . worst case scenario ... theyve found something , something old that they think he can shed some light on , from the sixties or seventies - either mi6 business , or possibly us . but as far as i know , the k2 organisation has never shown any interest in anything this side of the pond . 5 what kind of man is beesely ? the front seat passenger asked in a mildly accented voice . the driver turned his head , but the question had been meant for the passenger in the rear . the three men sat in a darkened range rover , the inside even darker than the rain-swept dusk outside due to the vehicles tinted and bullet-proof glass . those rain clouds had brought on dusk an hour early on this otherwise mild june day in the english countryside . from their raised positions , the men could see out over hedgerows on either side of the country lane they had stopped in . in the distance they could just make out a large house with its lights on , nestled between a wood and a small lake . the rear passenger began , hes a unique man , and he was a good officer back in the day a good leader of men . he coined the phrase leading from the front . hes also an old-school gentleman , a proper gentleman , not like some of the public school twats that run the intelligence services these days . you could image beesely on a hunt in africa with a line of slave bearers behind him . ive known him almost twenty-five years , right from my first days in sas . he wasnt there then , he was working for army intelligence , but i heard the stories and met people who knew him . when i did finally meet him i took to him straight away . hes simple in his attitude , no messing about . if hes wrong hell admit it , not like most of the ruperts i worked for whod do anything to advance their own careers . he takes care of his boys , those he send outs . breaks his fucking heart if one gets hurt . what he did for johno in kosovo was no isolated case , he would have done it for anyone working for him if he could . hes eighty now , but still sharp as a tack and going strong . i havent seen him for two years , but i dont reckon hes changed much . the front seat passenger sighed . youll be fine , boss . its going to be like frigging christmas in there when they see me . smartest move you made - bringing me along . the front seat passenger announced , i would rather climb everest again than be here . i hate things that are not ... controllable , not black and white . he spoke with a clipped accept , even-toned , and with no hint of emotion . well thats because youre a tight-arsed swiss banker . you can control the figures on a balance sheet , but you cant control people , especially not the ones in that house . the driver asked in english , but clearly not his first language . why is lower church fenton called lower , and upper church fenton called upper , when the signs are there and this land is flat ? the sir in the front seat turned his head towards the rear . i have wondered this myself . the land here is flat , no hills , yet many place names are lower or upper ? streams , boss . the villages are roughly at the same height above sea level , but a stream flows from one to the other , and in the old days a stream was a valuable commodity for all your frigging cows and crops and the like . downstream was lower and upstream is upper .
