said Jez as they started the drive to Glasgow. He was sat with Mikey in the back of the black Mercedes with blacked-out windows they used for business. Mark was driving and an eager Shane was sitting beside him. Jez had quipped that if he was a dog he would have his head out the window and his to...
Finally she appeared, sandwiched inside a bunch of rowdy cockneys who were all talking loudly and blatantly ogling her backside. Cass had no idea how attractive she was. She wasn’t beautiful in that tacky, Hollywood way with big cheekbones and huge white teeth. Hers was more subtle. She always dr...
She’d completely vanished and he wasn’t afraid to admit to himself that he was terrified. He’d not alerted his brother to the situation yet, not wanting to scare the kids unless he really had to. He’d seen Rachel dump her phone on a shelf in the shop and thankfully it was still there, so he picke...
When they reached the graveyard she placed the flowers on her parents’ graves and sat cross-legged on the warm grass before them. Craig sat behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. The graves were well tended, Nora coming up once a week to have a tidy u...
He was well over six foot tall with massive shoulders, deep liquidy dark eyes, hair jet black with a perfect grey streak running back from both temples and a designer dark stubble. He was extremely good looking, his Italian heritage shining through, a fact he was tremendously proud of, sometimes ...
For the twentieth time that evening I look down at my flawless white gown, the vast hooped skirt awkward and walking requires a lot of concentration. Taking a last look in the mirror I admire how my thick chestnut coloured hair has been curled into ringlets and piled atop my head, complementin...
said Cass chirpily as she walked into the office laden down with coffee and doughnuts for them all. “Morning hen,” said Brodie. “Here you go,” she said, dumping the box of doughnuts and a large black coffee on his desk. “Wow,...
began Jez. He and Mikey were in the latter’s office at the compound, Grant, Hayden Brody and Mark Cameron sat before them looking serious and all-business. Mikey was letting Jez do the talking because this was his brother they were trying to find. Jez hadn’t taken the news well, in fact it had kn...
“I’m off to the salon. I’ve got a massage booked.” “We’ve just had a weekend in the Scottish Highlands and you need to unwind?” he replied with a smile. “Daina’s learning Swedish massage. I said I’d be her guinea pig.” “Rathe...
Craig said loudly, drawing everyone’s attention. “How do you know?” said Jimmy. “I don’t for sure but the man I saw outside fits his build and he disappeared before the second shooting even started.” “No, that can’t be right....
Craig learnt from Gordon that he was the one who’d taken the knock to the head. Martin finished tending to him and approached Craig. “I suppose you’ll want to talk to me?” “Aye I do. Come through,” he said. Martin followed hi...
“I’d better get it,” said Rachel. She handed Leah to Danny then got up to answer the door. “Mum, Dad,” she smiled. “It’s so good to see you again.” And she meant it. Seeing them reminded her how much she’d missed them. She...
She’d been stuck in the boot of a car, ankles taped together, hands tied behind her back, forced to lie on her side, mouth taped shut. At first she’d tried to note every turn the car had made, figure out which direction they were heading in but after a while it became impossible to tell. Due to t...
Neither of them had slept the whole night but they were still bright eyed and alert, not so much as a crease in their expensive tailored suits. Rick crept in and took the chair by Rachel’s side, watching her sleep. When he took her hand her eyes rolled open. &n...
