"You said we were getting too noticed out here, then I got us George," Eik
replies with a voice that’s about to crack.
"Yes, true, but I didn't expect him to be this sick."
Janokovic lights a cigarette with the hand free and tries to think of a way out.
"Let's go to London, mate. We should’ve done this yesterday," he says, trying to
sound as calm as possible.
"What? Do you think we should run away for good?" Exclaims Eik.
“Yeah, let's go. Imagine if they start attacking George with questions. It won't be
long before the police will be on our arse. We have money now, so we might as
well fuck off now. It’ll take to tomorrow before you and me are wanted by the
police. My mother will think I am with some friends, so will your parents. "
"Alright then. What about Matt? Do we call him? "
“Yes, call him please, then I’ll order a cab and come by your house. We have a lot
of money so we might as well take the cab all the way to London. ”
"Okay, I'm trying to get a hold of Matt, hurry over here."
Eik suddenly sounded excited and redeemed, as if those were the words he had
been waiting for.
"I'll call a taxi and get over to you, we'll take the money and find somewhere
that we can stash them."
They end the conversation. Janokovic rushes up to his room, opens his old
wardrobe and takes the bag of the stolen money. He puts the bag on the bed. He
finds a blue polo shirt from the pile of clean laundry. He changes his clothes
quickly, pulls his jumper over his head with a firm move, as well as his trousers,
and then switches his latest jeans and his Adidas trainers. He then stuffs the bag
of money into his pants at the waistband. At last, he picks out his white jacket –
his nicest jacket – the one he usually only wears when going out with Mom. He
hurries down the stairs and back into the living room, to the phone and dials the
number to the local taxi company.
"Wait," says a scant female voice, "Brighton Taxi, my name is Helen. How can I
help you?"
"Eh yes, we’ll have to pick someone up first at a couple of different addresses
here in Brighton, then we go to the train station," Janokovic explains.
