Chapter 2- Trust
"I didn't know Jimmy had a daughter" one man said, he was rather round and had long unruly curly hair
"My mum left when I was young changed my last name, fled to America to get away from him" I said
"Then how are you going to help us get Abel?" Asked Clay cynically
"I can get information from him, he trusts me" I said
In truth I wasn't sure how much he actually trusted me.
"The estranged daughter coming back home, that might actually work, what do you want in return" said Clay
"I want him dead or in jail" I said coldly
"We'll see" said Clay
"Thats fine with me" I said walking away
"I didn't get your name" Clay called out
"Peggy O'Callahan" I called out before driving away
SOASOASOA
I was sitting on top of a picnic table outside the clubhouse. I was waiting for Jimmy to call me back. I was fiddling with my phone when someone walked over. I looked up, it was a man, he had grayish hair and a beard. Bit what made me recognize him were the scars on his face that my father had inflicted.
"Your Jimmy O's daughter aren't ye" he said in a Scottish accent
"Unfortunately so" I said
He sat down next to me, staring at me before finally speaking.
"I'm Chibs" he said
"I'm sorry about what my father did to you" I said looking up at him
"How do you know?" He asked cautiously
"My mum told me, a couple years back, thought I deserved to know what my dad did to an innocent man" I said
"I'm not innocent" he said
"Your not guilty enough to deserve what he did to you" I said
I stared up at his face, without realizing it I reached my hand up to his face and ran my thumb over his scar. He put his hand on top of mine, our eyes never leaving each other. When we heard people coming out if the clubhouse I quickly dropped my hand from his face.
"Your dad call yet?" Asked Clay
Just as he said that my phone started ringing. I walked away from them to answer it.
"Peggy, you need to come to Belfast now" he said
"Why? What's wrong?" I asked
"I'll tell you when you get here. I just need people I can trust" he said before hanging up
"He wants me to go to Belfast" I said
"Did he say why?" Asked Chibs
"No, just said he needed people he could trust" I said
"Looks like we're going to Belfast" said Clay
