СКАЧАТЬ A pinched, lean, chalky-white face with something of Edgar Allan Poe about him, something perhaps a little bit mad. The hair was oiled and parted in the fashion of the 1920s, the little brush moustache trim and neat. The eyes were sharp and foxy and seemed to bore right out of the screen and into Ben’s.

      ‘If this is really all about you,’ Ben muttered, ‘you’ve got a lot to answer for, pal.’

      He gazed at the image a moment longer, knowing he was only procrastinating. This wasn’t what he’d taken his phone out for.

      He swallowed and quickly keyed in Brooke’s number. As he waited for her to reply, he anxiously tried to think of how to express what he wanted to say. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. Can’t we just stop? Can’t we just go back to the way things were? Or just I love you. I need you. Let me come home, as soon as this is over.

      But there was no simple formula. No backspace key, no erase button. The damage that had been done couldn’t be healed with just a few facile words.

      Brooke didn’t even reply. He aborted the call, strangely relieved but dreading when he’d have to try again.

      The pain in his body reminded him of the other damage that needed healing, too. Standing up, he painfully unpeeled his jeans far enough down to inspect the large red weal across his left thigh where the Beretta magazine had absorbed the force of the bullet strike earlier that day. Its oblong shape was almost perfectly imprinted on his skin. He touched it and winced. In a day or two it would blossom into a spectacular bruise and a rainbow of colours.

      His right side was pretty tender, too, where he’d taken that particularly solid blow from the man now encased several feet deep in concrete. I’m getting too old for this bollocks, he thought as he peeled off his T-shirt to examine his ribs. Another florid, multicolour bruise was on its way there, too, but at least nothing was cracked internally that he could feel.

      The bedroom door suddenly opened and he turned to see Roberta standing there.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
