CHAPTER 15

On The Run

In an office suite in the centre on London a Phone rang at a dark Brown Chippendale style desk.

"Hello" a voice asked The Boss as he picked up the telephone

"Yes Hello can I speak to Mr Joseph Stranding Please" a Voice asked at the other end

"My I ask who is speaking please as Mr Standing is not here at the moment" asked the boss

"Yes it is Terry Franklin and I was told to phone this number should I ever be taken into custody by the police, can you please tell him I am being held at Croydon Police Station along with David Miller we have both been arrested for conspiracy to defraud bookmakers and conspiracy to fix cricket matches" replied Terry Franklin

"Thank you I will be sure to pass the message on to Mr Standing for you, goodbye" the Boss then put the phone back down on the receiver he stood stared out of the window and then is mobile phone rang he looked at it, it was showing Curtis James-Rowe.

"Hello Curtis what can I do for you" The Boss asked

"Have you heard the news that Terry Franklin, David Miller, Brad Cousins and Hugh Price they have all been arrested on conspiracy to fix cricket matches, it is all over the TV and radio boss" Curtis replied

"Yes Curtis I have heard, terry Franklin was just on the phone, I spoke to him everything is going to be OK, I will get Joseph Standing on to it, put you my friend can do me a big favour and I want it done properly and needs to be done tonight2 The Boss replied

"Yes Boss what is it you would like me to do" asked Curtis

"Right and this goes no further and if you get caught there will be no help for you got it" The Boss replied

"Yes OK whatever the boss, wants" replied Curtis

"The Thompson woman I want her dealt with, I want her wiped out, she needs to die and die tonight, I don’t care how you do it but it gets done tonight, as soon as she is out of the way we can start making plans to make these thing disappear, but we need her out of the way" The boss replied

"Yes I can get that done for you tonight, I will do it myself I have been waiting for this for many years for this day" Curtis replied

"OK Curtis now this your chance to make sure it gets done" The Boss replied

"Cheers Boss, it will get done" Replied Curtis

"Make sure you do" The Boss replied as he hung up

Back at the Thompson household Georgia was sat in the kitchen at the dining table, she looked at her husband Reginald to say

"So my love what do you think of what has happened at the cricket and these arrests that have happened I hope Clinton is not involved"

"Don’t worry my love I am sure he is not, he is not stupid, he knows right from wrong and anyway he doesn’t need the money he has what his father has left him now he is at that age" Reginald replied to Georgia

As Reginald was talking to Georgia, Georgia’s mobile phone rang

"Hello Georgia Thompson speaking" Georgia replied

"Hello Mrs Thompson, my name is Jason Bartholomew and I was wondering if you would be able to meet me in about an hour to talk about the story that broke in The London Evening Standard tonight it is very important that we do it tonight so it can be in the morning editions"

"OK where and what time" Georgia asked

"Nine o’clock this evening at the Seaside Café" Mr Bartholomew replied

"OK will see you there" replied Georgia

Jason Bartholomew turned to Curtis James-Rowe who was to the left of him and put his thumbs up to say the meet had been arranged.

"Right Jason, I want you to go and wait outside the Thompson house and wait for her to leave to come here and then when you get the chance mow her down and if she is still alive run the car back and over her again and again and again I want her dead, she does not survive, she must be dead, dead, dead" Curtis said to Jason Bartholomew

"Ok Curtis that is a bit over board isn’t it, just the once will do won’t it" replied Jason Bartholomew

"Listen to me Mate when I say I want you to run her over and then run over her again and again and again, I mean it I want her dead, she has caused me so much grief over the years I have been married to her bitch of a daughter, I will just be glad to get rid of her and I am paying you a king’s ransom to do this so just get it do and no more questions or I will take you out and the boss wants it done properly and if you do it right I will give you a bonus of another Two thousand pounds if it is done right, she must not live, I want her left unrecognisable, I want her family to see what will happen if they cross me" Curtis replied to Jason Bartholomew

"Curtis you are sick my man, sick in the head, she must have really pissed you off for you to hate her this much" Jason Bartholomew replied to Curtis

"Hate her I cannot stand her and her grandson will be next and his wife to be they will be gone next if I have my way, even if she is due to have a baby I will kill that to, I want the whole family dead, dead, dead, even my wife she is going to get done after to, I will wipe the whole family out if I get my way the whole stinking lot of them, but maybe I will make it slow and painful for Chelsea and Isabella, maybe I should make Clinton watch me make his precious mother and girlfriend beg for their lives in pain" Curtis replied

"Curtis you really are a sick man but I love the way you are thinking, can I please have Isabella to myself I have so much I want to do to take sexy girl even if she is pregnant not sexual but just stand there and give her a good slapping and watch that Radford boys face as I do it, watch her beg me to stop doing it and then just blow her away" Jason Bartholomew replied

"Jason you are talking my language and you to my man have a sick mind and don’t worry our chance to do this will come" Curtis replied laughing as he did so.

At the Thompson house Georgia Thompson was getting ready to go to the meeting she had arranged with Jason Bartholomew, her husband Reginald asked her "Love where are you going I thought we were having a night in tonight"

"We are love, but I just want to take a walk to the beach to clear my head and stretch my legs, is that OK with you" Georgia replied

"Yes cheeky that is OK with me my Love" Reginald replied smiling at her

Georgia came over to Reginald who was sat at the Dining table and gave him a kiss on the cheek and said "Look I won’t be long and then you will have me all to yourself for the night"

Georgia then left the kitchen and went through the front door and out for her walk to the beach, unaware that she was going to be followed.

Jason Bartholomew was sat in his BWM on the opposite side of the road to where Georgia was walking as she was making her way to the beach, he would wait until the right moment to take his opportunity to run her over, he had to make sure the job was done properly all he could hear in his head was the word of Curtis James-Rowe "When you hit her and run her down, reverse back over her and the forward back over her again, I want her to be dead, dead, dead and unrecognisable, I want her family to look at her and remember her as she is when they see her after this has happened and not for what she was before2 these words were bringing rage to Jason and he could wait no longer and as Georgia was turning ready to cross the road, he allowed her to take a few steps to the middle of the road and put his foot down as hard as he could on the accelerator and aimed straight at Georgia.

The last thing Jason Bartholomew saw was the whites of Georgia’s eyes as he hit her head on, she was thrown high into the air and landed with a thump and crack on the road behind his car, Georgia was lying on the screaming in pain, Jason looked back, put the car into reverse and put his foot down again and aimed straight at the stricken Georgia who was powerless to do anything as she was in so much pain and barley couscous, he hit her in the midriff of her body his car going straight over her and he could hear the crunch of her bones snapping and cracking, he looked at her again and she was still breathing, he aimed his car to hit her again the words of Curtis in His head "I want her dead, dead, dead" but there was another couple who were crossing the road who had seen what had happened and were making their way to help, so Jason Bartholomew reversed his car to the end of the road and sped off at high speed.

Jason Bartholomew then phoned Curtis James-Rowe from his car phone.

"Hello Curtis here" a voice replied on the load speaker of Jason’s car phone

"Cutis it is me, it’s done" Jason Bartholomew replied

"Is she dead Jason, is she dead" asked Curtis

"Not sure never had the chance to hit her a third time some people got in the way so I left the scene in quick as not to raise suspicions" Jason Bartholomew replied

"Listen Jason what am I paying you all this money for if you can’t do the job properly, you idiot" Curtis replied with a bit of arrogance in his voice.

"Well Curtis what do you want me to do mow down the other people as well and then raise even more suspicion" Asked Jason angrily back at Curtis

"yes if it meant that that bitch was dead yes, it would have been better that way, I told you that I wanted her dead, didn’t I, not one breath left in her body, her face smashed in unrecognisable I wanted her yet you are unable to do that because of a couple of people getting in the way, you should have killed them as well and made it a good day for all three less people in the world for us to worry about" Curtis said back

"Listen Curtis you are becoming obsessed and have become sick in the head with trying to bump this Thompson woman off, you have been going on about it for years, what is the problem has she got something on you in that black book you are always on about that she has, you have lost it mate gone in the head a wacko, a sicko someone who needs help" Jason Bartholomew hit back at what Curtis had said to him

"Well my friend yes I have been on about for years and now I get the chance you can’t do the job properly, yes I am sick, sick of people like you and that bitch of an ex-wife of mine and believe me she is next on my list but I will make her beg for her life before I finish her off, I will inflict so much pain on her, she will begging me to blow her brains out and I won’t I will sit and smile as she begs and begs and begs, for me to do it" Curtis replied

"You really are sick in the head a psychopath and you need help, better still you need to be locked up and have the key thrown away, sorry but why I ever got involved with you in the first place I do not know, I must have been desperate" Jason Bartholomew replied

"Yes Jason you were desperate, desperate for the money and the life style you are now accustomed to, the women on your arms and the cars you drive, so don’t you go getting all high and mighty on me" Curtis replied

"Well Curtis, I have now seen a new side to you a side I don’t like, so thanks for the memories and goodbye" Jason Bartholomew replied he turned his car phone off

As the phone went dead, Curtis brought up the number of the boss on his mobile phone and rang him

"Hello Boss" Curtis asked

"Yes Curtis, I hope you have some good news for me, has it been done yet, has Georgia Thompson met her maker" The Boss asked

"No but she will be soon she won’t survive I will make sure of that" Curtis replied

"Curtis I am trusting you we have a lot riding on this happening she knows too much about the syndicate and we need to get that book back, she has held us to ransom for too long now, so did Mr Bartholomew do the job" The Boss replied

"Yes sort of he said she was very mashed up and she was hardly breathing, don’t think she will last the night" Curtis replied lying through his teeth as that was not what Jason Bartholomew had told him, but it gave him a bit of time to try and get the job done if needs be.

"Ok I trust your judgment, but and believe every word I tell you here, if she survives it won’t be her I will be after it will be you" The Boss answered back to Curtis

"OK Boss I will make sure it happens and she will be dead by the morning, I will personally make sure of it" Replied Curtis

"You had better Curtis or it will be you who will be dead by morning" The Boss replied, he then ended the call abruptly

Georgia Thompson was barely breathing when two passer by stopped to help, she bad blood gushing from her head which had hit the road with a smash and a crack, every time she breathed it hurt in her chest, after the car had reversed back over her, as the ambulance turned up there was a Dark Grey Mercedes parked on the corner looking on, it was Curtis who was getting ready to follow the Ambulance to the hospital, he would then try to end Georgia’s life there and then.

The telephone rang at the Thompson Household and Reginald answered the phone.

"Hello Reginald Thompson speaking"

"Hello, my name is sister Murphy from the trauma unit at St Thomas Hospital, I am a afraid we have to inform you your wife has been brought in after a hit and run, the police are on their way to get you to bring you in"

"What no" Reginald replied as a tear started to trickle down his check, he then hung up as he did so there was a knock at the door, it was two police officers who had come to take him to the hospital.

As he made his way to the hospital he rang his daughter Chelsea "Hi Chelsea, your mother has been run over in a hit and run, I am on the way to the hospital now can you meet me there" he said chocking back the tears

"Dad I am already here, a friend phoned me as she realised it was mum, It does not look good dad mum is in a bad way, I have phoned Clinton, the England management are bringing him straight here" Chelsea replied

"What, she does not look good, how bad is she my love" Reginald asked Chelsea

"Well dad she has five broken ribs, a fractured skull, a punctured lung and many more injuries dad, look I will speak to you when you get here" Chelsea replied crying as she did so, Reginald turned his telephone of and put his head in his hands shaking it and crying saying to himself "Not my lovely Georgia, not her please, not her"

As Reginald Thompson entered the hospital grounds in the squad car that had picked him up they passed a Dark Grey Mercedes parked up in a parking bay, in which sat Curtis who was now starting to get very worried, thinking to himself "Shit this is going to be harder than I thought", Curtis then got on his Mobile phone to The Boss "Boss, this going to be very difficult at the moment there are police around here every where don’t know what to do" Curtis said

"Curtis don’t worry about it, I have had it on good authority she won’t see it through the night, Jason boy done a good job, she is going to die painfully and will suffer deeply, so just stand down for now and if things change I will let you know, just think of it this way my friend, you get what you want Georgia Thompson dead, but not only dead, but dying in a hell of a lot of pain so you can be very proud of yourself we have been waiting a very long time for this moment and now we have got it and she is going to meet her maker my friend and it will be very painful, I have told my friend if she is still alive in the early hours to finish her of with an over dose" The Boss replied, before ending the call

Reginald entered the Trauma Ward flanked by two police officers to be greeted by his daughter Chelsea

"Dad, I need to tell you something first before you go and see her, Mum is not in a very good state and has taken quite a battering, half her face has been smashed in and sorry dad but she is not expected to make it through the night she has so many internal injuries and they can’t stop the bleeding" Chelsea said with tears running down her cheeks

"No, not my Georgia, who would do such a thing to her, who would leave her for dead, I want to see her, I want to see her please" Reginald replied as he pushed his way past Chelsea and went straight to Georgia’s bed

As he entered a look of shock was etched across his face as he took a his first look at his wife as she was semi-conscious and breathing very shallow, he walked over to her bed side and sat down beside her, held her hand and started to cry

Georgia turned and looked at him and said "Hello handsome, how do I look tonight"

"Georgia my sweet pea you radiant, and beautiful as ever" Reginald replied to her

"Reginald Thompson, you are not a very good liar are you, I know you to well, you could never lie to me could you" Georgia replied with a grimace on her face as she was in so much pain as she breathed

"Sweet pea you know me to well" Reginald replied back trying to chock back the tears

"Where is my boy, where is my Clinton" Georgia asked

"Sweet pea he is on his way, the England set up have got the police to bring him straight here don’t fret my love, save your energy" Reginald replied looking straight in to Georgia’s eyes with tears running down his cheeks as he knew that these were the last hours of the woman who he had fallen in love with when they were in school and had not been apart since they got married, it was hard for him to see her in the state she was in knowing that she was on her last embers of life, not knowing she was going to bring a man and a syndicate down in her death and her name would live on

Isabella was sat with her mother having a meal at the local Indian Restraunt when she turned to look at her mother and said

"Mother, hum I think my waters have broke" as she sat there with a wet seat

"You what my love" Sandra replied

"Mum the babies are coming, my waters have broke we need to get to the hospital ASAP, I am in labour" Isabella replied to her mother

"OK love breathe in and out we will get to the car now and I will phone Clinton on the way to the hospital" replied Sandra

Sandra took her daughter to her car, sat her in the front passenger seat and got in the driver’s side, she then telephoned Clinton on her mobile phone

"Damn it his phone must be off" Sandra said

"Look mum, don’t worry about Clinton now, just get me to the hospital they are coming I can feel them we need to get there quick please, we can sort Clinton out later" Isabella replied

Clinton arrived at the hospital flanked by two police officers where his mother Chelsea was waiting for him at the entrance to the hospital to be meet him with tears in her glazed eyes and tears running down her cheeks.

"How is Nan, mum" Clinton asked, Chelsea

"She is not to good son, they believe she will not make it through the night, her injuries are really bad and she has internal bleeding, your granddad is with her at the moment" Chelsea replied

Clinton looked at his mother with a glint in his eyes as a tears started to fall down his check "What? Nan is going to die, no mum, no it’s not her time yet, and it’s not her time" Clinton said as the tears became more and more

"Clinton, I know how you feel, but she has been badly hurt and there is nothing they can do I am sorry son, so sorry" Chelsea replied with tears coming out of her eyes too

"Can I see her please mum" Clinton asked

"Come on, Clinton I’ll take you to see her, she would like that, It will put a smile on her face" Chelsea replied

Clinton and Chelsea then went to the room that Georgia was being treated and his grandfather Reginald was already there holding her hand.

Clinton took one look at his Grandmother and a look of shock was etched on his face, this was not the woman he had seem just a few days before, she now had dried blood on her face, her eyes were glazed and she could hardly talk without the look of pain being etched on her face, her breathing was shallow and slow, and each time she breathed, the pain shot through her body.

As Clinton walked in his grandfather Reginald got up looked at Clinton and said

"Clinton come and sit here, I will leave you and your Grandmother together"

"Thank you Granddad, Love you" replied Clinton, his Grandfather then left the room for Clinton and Georgia to be together

"Hi my young man, you sure did play well didn’t you, you are turning out to be a star" Georgia said to Clinton

"Nan don’t talk too much you need your strength, what happened" Replied Clinton

"Clinton my boy this was no accident it was deliberate and The Syndicate is behind it, more importantly The Boss, when the car came towards me, just before it hit me I recognised the face, he is a friend of your step-father Curtis and his name is Jason Bartholomew" Georgia replied as a tear started to creep down her cheek

"Nan you have got to tell the police about this they can get him" Clinton replied angrily to Georgia

　

　

　

　

Georgia lifted figure up to Clintons mouth and replied "Shush my boy, my time is almost at an end on this world and yes these people will get their comeuppance, but not by me and not by the police but by you Clinton, you are the one who is going to bring The Boss down, he is someone you know but I can’t tell you his name now and won’t, but there is a safe deposit box, the number is in the top draw of my desk in the study, the key, well you know where that is you have been in that draw many times" Georgia replied

"Yes I know Nan and I will" Clinton replied

"Instructions for you are in there to, instructions on what to do and how to do it" Georgia replied

"Do what Nan, do what" Clinton replied

"Take The Boss and The syndicate down, that’s enough of this for now all will be revealed in the letter and book in the safe deposit box" Georgia replied

Georgia then looked in to Clinton’s eyes; they were glazed with tears as he knew this would be the last time he would see his Grandmother alive and said "Clinton a new baby, is a human sunlight, don’t look at this as an end look at it as a new beginning, my time has now come and it is time for me to go, you still have so much in this life to achieve and remember life is to short"

Georgia then closed her eyes as a single tear started to run down her cheek, he heart monitor started to flat line

Clinton sat there holding his grandmother’s hand as his mother and grandfather came in he looked up to them both and said "She’s gone now, she is at peace" as the tears came flushing from his eyes, Clinton let go of his Grandmother’s hand and casually walked out of the room and through the reception to the hospital grounds, he found the nearest bench and sat there, with his head in his hands and tears now in evident flowing from his eyes he stated to muter to himself "I will get these bastards, for this"

Clinton was sat on the bench for what seemed like an eternity, then his Mobile phone started to ring he looked at it and it was flashing up Sandra Thomas

"Hello Sandra" Clinton answered

"Hello Clinton, I think you need to get straight to the hospital, Isabella has gone into labour and your new additions won’t be long in coming" Sandra replied

"Ok I will be there as soon as I can if not sooner, I am outside the hospital now, don’t ask why I will explain later" Clinton replied

With that Clinton ran towards the maternity unit where Sandra and Isabella were thinking to himself he now understood, what is Grandmother meant when she said "Don’t look at this as the end but as a new beginning" his Grandmother had passed away only a few minute earlier and now two whole new live were about to enter the world, it felt as he his Grandmother knew this and wanted Clinton to look forward and not back, he then remembered her last words to Him were "Life is to short" He then looked up to the sky and said "Thank you Nan" with a little smile as he was now going to be a father and his responsibilities would now change forever

Clinton made a mad dash to the maternity ward with tears still running from his glazed eyes down his cheeks, still in shock after what had just happened with his grandmother Georgia passing away, but he knew he had to see to Isabella and his new children before anything could be done about the syndicate, he was met at the maternity ward by Sandra, Isabella’s mother

"Hi Clinton, she is ok doing fine her waters broke while we were having a meal, but the midwife says it won’t be long before they appear, I have rang Nathaniel he will be here as soon as he can as he is in London on business, why are you crying Clinton you look like you have seen a ghost" Sandra said to Clinton

"My Nan passed away about thirty five minutes ago; I was sat outside when you phoned me it is a long story, I will tell you later, I just want to be with Isabella if that is ok" Clinton replied

"OK Clinton, sorry to hear about Georgia she was a wonderful woman, with so much still to offer she will be sadly missed, look go to Isabella and I will go outside and wait for Nathaniel, if they come before he gets her phone" Sandra replied

"OK Sandra and thank you" Clinton replied

"Your welcome just go in there and worry about Isabella" Sandra replied as she smiled at Clinton and looking straight into his eyes at the sadness and joy he was showing

Clinton opened the door of the delivery suite to see Isabella ready to give birth, she was screaming and taking deep breaths and a voice could be hearing "That’s it breath and now push I can see the head come one a few more pushes and we will be there"

Clinton walked over to the bed looked at Isabella and whispered into her ear "I love you more than anything else in the world and will do for the rest of my life"

Isabella looked up into Clintons eyes with a look of unfounded love in then and said "I Love you to gorgeous, but can I get these two babies out please" and chuckled and Clinton chuckled along with her.

"There we go Miss Thomas, there is the first one a lovely bouncing baby girl" the midwife said, the baby was handed to Clinton who was now showing tears of joy rather than sadness and said "Hi Georgia Mary Elizabeth Radford" Isabella looked at him as she was pushing and smiled and said "Such a lovely name babe"

"That’s it one more push and there we go here is the second another bouncing baby girl" the midwife handed the baby to Isabella who looked at Clinton and said "Clinton love meet Courtney Jane Carmen Radford"

Clinton looked at her and smile "Such and lovely and deep thoughtful names Georgia and Courtney, I have something to tell you my love, Georgia is a such a special name as, my Nan passed away about an hour ago"

"Oh Clinton I am so sorry about that" Isabella replied

　

"She said one last thing to me before she passed away, she said a new baby a human sunlight and enjoy every minute with them as life is too short, Isabella I am going to enjoy every minute with you three and I aim to do the best I can for you all" Clinton replied smiling as he did so

"Clinton I know you will and you Nan was such a lovely woman and forward thinker, do me one favour as well" Isabella replied

"And what is that my love" replied Clinton

"Go out tomorrow and get a century not only for me and these two but for the memory of your Nan, take the Australians apart that is what she would want you to do" Isabella replied

"I can’t do that my love I am pulling out of the game, I won’t be able to play not after tonight" Clinton replied

Isabella turned and looked Clinton in the eyes as the tears were running down his cheeks and said "Clinton you will play, look at it this way what would your Nan have wanted you to do, she would have wanted you to go out and play and play with your heart on your sleeve and score a hundred so go out there and do what she would want you to do, listen to your heart and not your brain this time, this could be your defining moment the time you come of age in the game, a day that will put you out there for all the world to see, so go out there do it and face what you have got to face after"

"I am still not sure my love. I don’t think I could, I don’t think I could do the game or the team justice in the frame of mind I am in" replied Clinton

"Clinton if you don’t play, you will not be doing your grandmothers name justice, she always supported you and what do I tell these two when they get older that their father had the chance to play for his country the day after they were born but didn’t because he was not in the right frame of mind because their great grandmother who supported him all through his fledgling cricket career had passed away, so go out there tomorrow and do her name and our daughters names justice" Isabella replied with some anger in her voice

Clinton just looked at her, tears streaming out of his eyes as he knew she was right and answered "I Clinton Radford will tomorrow go out and take the Australians apart in the name of Georgia Thompson, Georgia Radford and Courtney Radford all of who will be proud of me"

Isabella looked at him raised her head and gave Clinton a kiss on the lips looked him in the eye and said "I Love You Clinton Radford, the love of my life who will be the best father in the world, now go back to the squad tonight play tomorrow and then take things from there and do me a favour and ring my mum, she will be waiting for some news"

"OK I will"

Clinton looked down at Isabella kissed her on the forehead and looked her in the eyes and said "I Love You" he then walked over to where his two daughters were laying he leaned down and kissed Georgia on the forehead and said "I Love You Georgia Mary Elizabeth", He then leaned over the next cot and kissed Courtney on the forehead and said "I Love You Courtney Jane Carmen" he turned and looked at Isabella and blew her a kiss and whispered "I Love You" again walked to the door thinking to himself "I am one lucky man and now time for these Australians"

Clinton made his way out of the Hospital and out to the car park where he found Sandra waiting for Nathaniel.

"Hi Sandra you have two lovely grand-daughters, Georgia and Courtney" Clinton said to Sandra

"I have" Sandra replied with tears trickling down her cheek, she used her hand to gently wipe one away

As they were talking they could see Nathaniel running down the car park as fast as he could

"Hi you two am I two late" he asked

"Yes but mother and babies are doing well" Sandra replied

Nathaniel looked at his wife with a puzzled look "Mothers and Babies did I hear you say" he replied

"Yes Nathaniel Georgia and Courtney, twins" Clinton replied chuckling

"And I need to tell you both my grandmother passed away earlier this evening she was in a hit and run and didn’t survive I am going to see mum and granddad now to tell them about Isabella and the twins and then straight back to the England squad for the game tomorrow" Clinton said

"Sorry to hear that about your Nan she was such a wonderful woman, but why are you going back to play for England, you should be having time off" Sandra replied

"Sandra I have just had this discussion with Isabella and as she said Nan would have wanted me to play" Clinton replied

"Your right she would sorry Clinton, Sandra can we please go and see my grand-daughters" Nathaniel asked

Clinton made his way back to the family room where his Mother Chelsea and Grandfather Reginald were

"Mum, Granddad I have some news for you Isabella has just given birth to twin girls Georgia and Courtney and they are beautiful"

"You what twins" Chelsea replied as the tears started to trickle down he cheeks

"What I am a great Grandfather now am I" Reginald asked with tears in his glazed eyes not knowing whether to cry or be happy, he had just lost his wife, yet he was now a great grandfather

"Yes you are Granddad, but there is something else I need to tell you, I will be going back to the England squad tonight and will play tomorrow in the game" Clinton said

"You what, you can’t do that son not after what has happened tonight, you won’t be in the right frame of mind" His mother replied

"Chelsea, he is only doing what your mother would want him to do, she always wanted he to do well and this is something he must do, for your mother’s name" Reginald replied to Chelsea

　

　

Chelsea then looked up at Clinton and said "Clinton your Granddad is right your Nan would want you to play tomorrow and I am sure you will, I don’t agree but I will support you with your decision, just do me this go out there tomorrow with no fear and take them Australians apart in you grandmothers name and she would be so proud that you have named one of your girls after her"

"I know she would mum and yes I will do my best tomorrow, I must go now as the car will be here to take me back soon, you two take care, I love you both and you are both my world" Clinton replied as he left the room on his way to get the car back to the England squad he made a phone call

"Hi Curtis here what can I do for you Clinton"

"First of all Curtis you can start by telling me why, why my grandmother and secondly you can start to pack because I am coming for you" Clinton replied

"Well idiot, first of all don’t ever threaten me and two your Nan had to go, she knew too much and if you open your mouth you will be next, ah and yes I am so happy she dies in pain, been wanting to do it for years, just wish your mother had been there to see it happen" Curtis replied laughing as he did so

"CURTIS DON’T YOU EVER BRING MY MOTHER INTO THIS, I SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU YEARS AGO AND GUESS WHAT I HAVE THE BOOK NOW AND BY TOMMORROW EVENING THE POLICE WILL HAVE IT, SO IF I WAS YOU START PACKING, BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO COME KNOCKING" Clinton shouted down the phone and hung up his heart racing and pounding after what he had just said to Curtis

Curtis was stunned at what had just been said to him by his Step-son, he looked at himself in the mirror and all he could see was a man ashen faced and pale, he was starting to worry at what had just been said to him thinking to himself "What if Clinton was right and he did have the book and he had already given it to the Police and they were on their way now"

He walked out of the bathroom and started to pack a bag he had to get out of the country or at least get to and area where no one knew him and the Police could not find him, Clinton’s phone call had really put the wind up him and it was now time to make himself disappear for awhile and have no contact with The Boss or the rest of the syndicate as he knew full well what The Boss was capable of as he had already made sure that Charlie King had disappeared for good and he was not going to be next, with his bag packed he made his way out of his apartment and down to his car make sure he left no trail of his involvement with the syndicate as he did so, he was now very worried about what evidence Clinton had on him.

Clinton was thinking to himself "I have got him Curtis worried now, I have no book yet but he knows that I know he is part of the syndicate and who so se is in it except one person The Boss who is he and why is he secretive and evasive, who is he, who is he, maybe the book will tell me this and then I can expose him or her for what they are"

What Clinton did not know was The Boss was someone close to him and when the truth comes out it will be a massive bomb shell and shock a few people.
