We watched as Maria drove away from the villa and we were in utter complete shock by what she had to say, none of us knew what to do or say to each other, the Russian mafia killed Alvo for getting involved in their dodgy drug deals, this is way beyond what I use too back in England, Joel's voice breaking me out of my trance
"I've left my camera on the boat" Joel stated
"Are you sure Joel and you're not having us on" Walker replied anxiously
"I definitely left my camera on the boat and it's got evidence that we were on the boat" he replied
"We need to fucking go and get it and clean the evidence up that we were there at all, get changed quick" I proclaimed
We rushed off the sun chairs and ran to are individual bedroom to get changed, walking in and out of are rooms while we were getting changed
"Why did you say he's gone to the mainland? You know they can check that" Walker shouted angrily
"Because you're seating there with your mouth hanging open" Joel sighed
"We should have told the truth" he admitted
"Yeah great idea Walker, not only we nicked a boat, we nicked a boat off the Russian mafia" I proclaimed
"If we get court up in an investigation and were all suspect in Alvo's murder, especially me!" he shouted
"This all look a bit weird, 3 guys turn up out of the blue and 48 hours later Alvo died. Just after handing his villa over to me" I exclaimed
"And what if we get taken into custody then what? Then what, Spanish court case" Walker informed us
"We can explain it, right?" Joel sighed
"If we get done for nicking that boat or even as an accessory. Were stuck here on remand for fucking months and if we implicate the police in this, that mean it's a federal case, we could be stuck here for years and that's before we've gone to court" he explained
"How can we prove that we weren't nicking it?" Joel asked
"Let's be logical about this. Walker you're the last person to speak to him, well did he say anything or give the impression that he was worried about something" I stated
"None nothing" he replied
"I reckon he planned this, he used us" Joel admitted
"Right this is what we do. We go to the boat, get the camera and clean the boat that we weren't even there" I informed them
15 minutes later we came back down to the lounge with buckets of clean products to wipe the boat off with are fingerprints, we took the same route to get to the beach where we left the electric motor boat and climbed aboard, I sailed us to where the luxurious speed boat was and Walker jumped aboard and tied the electric motor boat on the end of the big boat.
We climbed inside and started cleaning the boat thoroughly as Walker and I went to the top deck while Joel stayed at the bottom cleaning away, I found Joel's camera and placed it into my pocket and in the distance a speed boat came cruising along the water towards us
"Get down now and bring the cleaning stuff" I gently whispered
Walker and I grabbed the cleaning products and brought them below deck where Joel had just finished cleaning
"Here I found your camera" I informed him, throwing Joel his camera "now get down and hide"
The speed boat engine cut and everything around went all quiet, some men footsteps could be heard climbing on the back of the boat, they slide the door open and entered
"Get up were not the police. 17 hours we've been looking for you" A man stated and pointed his gun at us, all of us getting up from the floor
"Sorry" I replied, all of us putting are hands up in the air
One of the men walked towards a bottom cupboard and pulled out a plastic carrier bag and placed it on the table
"Listen lads can I say something yeah. This is actually not our boat" Joel informed them
"What" the man replied, walking up to him
"But it's a long story but I dropped my camera" Joel began explaining before the man cut in off
"But how da fuck does this belong to them" he shouted
"That ours" Joel replied, picking up one of the cocaine bag
"What the fuck are you doing?" the man questioned and pointed his gun at Joel
"Just though I'd give you a hand" I proclaimed
"I though Dominic said there would only be one person" he admitted
"You know what he like, he changes his mind" Joel exclaimed
"Would you mind putting that down" the man asked
"Right" Joel proclaimed and dropping the drug bag down into the carrier bag "sorry"
"5 million. As agreed. Fuck around like that again and you're finished, understand" the gunman exclaimed
He dropped us with a large black bag as he picked up the plastic carrier bag which contained the cocaine, they walked out of the boat and climbed back into there's and they sailed away from us. We put the money into large pails on a table and just looked at it in disbelief
"That's it, our lives are over. Were fucked, people don't get away with stuff like this, we'll all go to prison" Walker informed us
"I think…and this is just my personal opinion. That it'd be a mistake to take the boat back" I proclaimed
"No shit" he exclaimed
"I also think... this is just my personal opinion. That if we went to the police and told them everything, this might not pan out how we wanted to" I explained
"Why don't we just find Jesus and tell him that we made a mistake? Joel questioned
"Yeah we could do that, but we just ripped him off to the tune of 5 million euros. A little birdie tells me he's not going to sit there quietly while we try and explain everything" I informed him
"You never know, he might just be pleased" he replied
"That's right Joel. Why don't we get some flowers as well with a little note? Dear Jesus, sorry for stealing your massive stash of cocaine, love Joel and the boys" I sarcastically stated
"We could" Joel began
"What?" we enquired
"Nah, it's stupid" he muted
"Go on" I urged
"We could set sail for Africa" Joel suggested
"And then what?" I asked
"Live in Africa" he sighed
"I've got a life I've got responsibilities" Walker replied
"I said it was stupid, I was just trying to… I'm supposed to be back in England in a few days" he stated
"Right I do think there's another way but we have to trust each other on this. Let's look each other in the eye and agree that nobody drops anyone in the shit to save their own ass. We know Alvo was mixed up in something big but we don't know what that was, we've already has a visit from the police and a hitman but they don't think were involved" I explained
"What makes you say that? Walker questioned
"One, they didn't arrest us and two, they didn't shoot us. I don't think they know what's going on. This is what I think we should do, I think we should hide that money safe until were ready to leave then we go back to the villa and carry on as normal. Tuesday we fly back to England which was what you two both were going to do but I'm coming with you" I informed them
"Why don't we just go know?" Joel enquired
"They'll know we're involved it's obvious. They'll see us change our flights and they'll drag us back here. This is what I'm saying. If we look like where in holiday, make like Alvo's gone away…nobody can't fucking touch us" "I stated
We placed the money back into the large black bag and climbed back into are electric motor boat with the money and cleaning buckets; Walker untied the rope from the luxurious boat and set sail back to the island. We abandoned the electric motor boat and started walking back on the stony path back to the villa.
"Right I'll wait here while you two go back to the villa" I stated
"Well should we take the money?" Walker enquired
"No" I replied
"Why not" Joel sighed
"Because that's the whole point of you two going back to get the Jeep" I informed them
"What is?" he questioned
"In case that copper shows up at the villa or somebody who's watching us while I have to wait here" I explained
"What happens if she drives past you?" Walker asked
"I'll hide the bag then" I informed them
"What if someone stops?" he enquired
"Why would they stop?" I questioned
"To offer you a lift" he stated
"Who?" I asked
"A kindly stranger?" he replied
"Walker just fucking go will yea?" I exclaimed
Walker and Joel turned and started walking back the same way back to the villa to pick up the Jeep. Half an hour later they both arrived in the Jeep to pick me up and the money
"This is the plan. Walker you're gonna to hire a car and hide the money in the boot and park it somewhere" I explained
"Where?" he asked
"Where's the hardest place to find a car? Car park" I proclaimed
Walker kept on driving down the road and he pulled over to a little café before the short journey to airport, Joel and I climbed out as he sped away to the airport. 45 minutes later Walker returned to the café with a different car and we climbed in, we drove back to the villa, once we arrived Joel climbed out and closed the entrance gate shut and locked it. Some dog came out of nowhere and started biting and pulling on Alvo's foot that wasn't properly buried in the ground
"Get out of it!" Walker shouted, scaring the dog away as he chased after it
I was stood with Joel looking down at the ground to Alvo's bitten foot
"We can't live him like that" Walker sighed
"Where do you want to take him?" I asked
"I don't know. We need to put him some where he won't be found" he exclaimed
"I've just had a brilliant idea" Joel proclaimed
"Please don't share it" I sarcastically begged
"Stick Alvo's body back on that boat yea, let the police find it. Put two and two together, bingo. Drugs deal gone wrong" he explained
