Joey had travelled up by train and, while pretending to read the paper, he’d had a long, hard think about his future. Living at home without Frankie by his side really didn’t appeal to Joey. He loved his mum, but his sister was the only one who really understood him.
As Dominic walked through the huge glass doors, Joey’s heart skipped a beat.
‘What are you doing here?’ Dominic hissed at him.
‘I need to talk to you,’ Joey pleaded.
‘I’ve already told you, I’ve met someone else. Now please just leave me alone,’ Dominic told him.
Upset by his ex-lover’s reaction, Joey followed him as he walked off in the opposite direction. ‘I know you’re lying, Dom. I found out the truth and I know my dad came to see you. Please, let’s go for a drink so I can say my piece. Ten minutes of your time, that’s all I ask.’
Dominic had never felt so petrified in his entire life as the night Joey’s father had paid him a little visit. He still couldn’t sleep even now, and every time he closed his eyes, he could feel the tip of that knife on the base of his helmet.
Deep down, Dominic still adored Joey, but he wasn’t about to tell him that. He couldn’t – it was too dangerous. ‘Ten minutes, then I want you and your thug of a father out of my life for good,’ he said venomously.
Eddie took the phone call from Gina, which confirmed what he had already been told.
‘I’m still in the vicinity. I’ve taken loads of photographs. Do you want me to meet you now, Mr Smith?’
Guessing that Raymond’s phone call had something to do with Frankie, Eddie asked Gina to do him a big favour. ‘Look, I don’t care how much this costs. I want you to keep my friend’s daughter and the bloke she’s with in your sights. Anywhere they go, I want you to follow ’em. Can you do that for me?’
Gina smiled. She would literally do anything for the gorgeous Mr Smith. ‘Of course I will,’ she told Eddie.
Desperate to get home, Eddie ended the call and pressed his foot hard against the accelerator. He had been on his way to pick up some money off a geezer in Kent, when Raymond rang him. He had immediately turned around and headed back towards Rainham. Unfortunately, it had taken him ages, as there’d had been an accident at the Dartford Crossing.
Eddie breathed a sigh of relief as he finally pulled into his driveway. Raymond had been reluctant to talk on the phone and all the way home Eddie had been going over what might have happened. Eddie had never been a person to be kept in the dark and the suspense was fucking killing him.
