Fury - Page 80
“Someone’s just taken Heidi.”
“What do you mean, taken?”
“Grabbed her off the street and stuffed her in the back of a van fucking taken.”
“Fuck.”
“Exactly. We’re tailing, but we lost them. I need cameras, Jake.”
“I’ll get a car out.”
“No Jake, you won’t. You’ll get me camera intel. Tell me where you last saw them. I don’t care how you do it, but no police. I’m dealing with these fuckers myself.”
“I don’t want any bodies, Fury.”
“There’ll not be any bodies, Jake. You and I both know Dave takes care of those when we need him to. Now get me the fucking intel.”
I pulled into a side street, the bikes following me.
“What’s happening, Fury?” Chaos asked.
“We’ve lost her. I rang Jake.”
“You rang Jake?” Magnet pulled his helmet off.
“Sargent fucking simple didn’t fucking answer. What else do you want me to do?” I shrugged.
The phone in my pocket vibrated against me, and I yanked it out, forcing it to my ear.
“That reg you gave me. Turned into that old industrial estate just north of the Tyne Tunnel a few minutes ago.”
“Thanks Jake.
“You owe me now, brother.”
“No brother. You just don’t owe us anything anymore. Your debt is discharged.”
The phone disconnected.
*****
The industrial estate on the north side of the Tyne Tunnel had been desolate for years. The roads crumbled, the feedback through the steering wheel of my truck giving me worse repetitive strain injury than the vibration of my Harley. Behind me, the bikes roared, announcing our approach from metres back. There would be no creeping about, just a charge and an extraction. We’d already lost the element of surprise, so we’d just use the element of force.
The van was parked outside one of the units, the shutter half rolled up, exposing the bottom of a red metal door, covered in scratches and dents.
“I want her out and in my truck, lads. I don’t care who you have to kill to make that happen. Understood?”
The men with me nodded.
“Good. Keep your helmets on. Faces covered. I’ve no idea whether there’s CCTV in there. Leave your cuts in my truck.”
“What about us?” Demon asked.
“Just don’t look up.”
“And what about you? You’re hardly unnoticeable.”
“It’s easier to get one of us out of trouble than all of us.”
