‘Sounds like a drink of vodka and tomato juice,’ Pike smiled.
Street did not react. ‘She rang me, unloaded a godawful blast. She’s got the notion that Argo is shonky. No way, she said, would she con her friends into joining it.’
‘She’s been listening to a dream buster,’ Pike asserted. ‘Is their marriage okay?’
‘I think so, but Argo lore says no network, no bedwork. She’s sabotaged Monday’s bloody pitch! She’s been ringing the wives of all the couples Sean’s invited and she’s un invited ’em! Then Sean’s been ringing the poor buggers back and re inviting ’em.
‘And Mary’s called the wives back again! Now she’s telling ’em to come in force, to turn your performance there into a donnybrook, Blarney. Irishtown’s phones must be steaming!’
‘I’ve heard of one case,’ he said. ‘From our Janet Pride. Oh, well, there might be a good mob there.’
‘The men are siding with our man Sean. The women are siding with bloody Mary. I’m damned glad it’ll be you and not me drawing the circles there.
‘Sean’s just phoned me. He says he’s got Irishtown behind him, to a man. But only the men. You’ll be smashing through barricades of shelias in green to get to the farm tomorrow, boyo.’ Dick Street laughed. ‘You’ll need a police escort.’
‘That’s arranged,’ Pike smiled into the phone. ‘Himself, Sergeant Sam Bond, will be there. He wants you and me to meet him and his squad on the way there, for a final tactical briefing. Stanley turn-off, 7.15 sharp. Any assaults by those women, and Plodder and a riot squad from Smithton will chuck the lot of them in the pokey. And to hell with the publicity.’
‘Bloody oath!’
‘We’ll talk later, Dick.’ Grinning, he disconnected the phone and turned off his mobile.
