Gutted
“No question. But if Rab Hart was missing fifty Gs I could expect much worse. Either Moosey had ripped him off and been turned over himself, or somebody else had done a job on them both. Felt like I was limbering up to go the same way; I’d be turned into Spam.
I could see why Johnstone might want me to have something to do with this, but I couldn’t see how he could make it stick without some serious fitting up. It had me worried because he didn’t look like the usual lazy doughnut-muncher from Lo...thian and Borders plod. He was sly, what the Scots call sleekit. And worse, he had Debs.
The tie to my ex-wife, I was pretty sure, put an edge on things for him. It was a motivator. He’d be making comparisons between us now we’d met; it was human nature. But what worried me most was how I was going to handle the man Debs was about to marry coming for me. I’d a notion that if my short fuse got any shorter I’d go off like an Exocet missile. I needed to cool right down, go Gandhi.
They kept me in all night.MoreLess
