The Sirens - 02
“I hadn't really expected to get this far. As I saw it I only had two options...the cops, or Skye...and neither appealed to me. In the first, I didn't get paid, and in the second, I got dragged ever further into what was turning into even more of a nightmare than the Amulet case.Then there was my conscience to consider.

But those dead eyes would continue to accuse me until I did something about it.The next time I saw a phone box I stopped and, keeping an eye on the car all the while, put in a 999 call. As soon as it was answered I put on my broadest wide-boy accent...modeled on the shell-suited Ned who came at me with the knife."Ah've seen it...the Southside Slasher...doon at the auld Underground depot. It's away inside...and there's a mannie in there alongside it. Youse had better be quick, for I dinnae ...think its awfy happy."I hung up and moved quickly back to the car.MoreLess
