  56. About the Publisher

She stayed like that for a minute, letting the nausea pass over as she tried to get her trembling under control. She sighed, knowing that there was still a long night in front of her. But she also knew that she needed to keep going. There was no time to waste.

Gathering herself together, Franny ran back inside the flat and looked around, giving it one more check to see if everything was back in place.

She locked up carefully, shutting the communal door behind her before jumping back into the car and speeding away into the night. But what Franny Doyle didn’t see was that someone was following her.

23

After spending the past half hour trying to get through to Vaughn on the phone, Alfie stood at the door of Charlie’s club. He still couldn’t believe Vaughn had left the way he had done. Okay, they’d been at loggerheads over Franny, and he’d been like a dog with a bone, but for Vaughn just to go off like that without saying anything, well if he was truthful, not only had it pissed him off, but it’d hurt too. Really hurt. They’d been through so much together and for it to end up like this felt like a real low-down blow.

He’d left a few voicemails for him, and no doubt Vaughn would eventually call back once he’d licked his wounds. Though of course, there was still the question of the money. According to Franny, Vaughn had been ripping them off, which was a pretty tough pill to swallow. But then, maybe Vaughn hadn’t seen it like that. Maybe Vaughn had decided he was still owed over a million pounds and as he wasn’t getting anywhere by asking for it, well, he’d just help himself.

And there was a part of him that didn’t blame Vaughn. These past few months had been a mess. He’d been a mess, what with the letters and Bree leaving him; perhaps Vaughn had just had enough of all the drama and wanted to get away himself. He had to admit, right now the idea of disappearing seemed very appealing. Still, the fact that he saw Vaughn’s point of view didn’t mean he wasn’t going to give him a hard time when he did eventually see him. A really hard time. Alfie style. For now though he had another little bird to catch: Charlie Eton.

Pushing himself back into the shadows, waiting and watching for Charlie’s men to leave, Alfie braced himself and hurried in, going up the back stairs of the seedy club Charlie had been running for the past few years.
