The following morning Brax was walking into the surf club when Constable Watson called out his name. He turned round and stopped to wait for her to catch up with him.
"Mr Braxton, I would like you to accompany me to the station please." She said to him.
Brax nodded. "Can I get Liam in to open the restaurant?" He asked. Brax pulled his phone out of his pocket and found Liam's number. He hit the dial button and waited for him to answer the phone. "Liam, mate can you open Angelo's this morning. The police want to question me again." Brax listened to his reply. "I'll leave the keys with John at the gelato bar. Thanks mate." Brax hung up and took his keys to ask John Palmer to give them to Liam and then he followed Watson to her car. He swallowed when he saw it. She was driving Charlie's blue police car. Brax took a deep breath and got in the back as Watson held open the back door for him. She drove to the station and led Brax inside. She showed him into the interview room. Brax sat down and waited. He was there for about thirty minutes when Inspector Joyce walked in. He sat down in front of Brax. He placed some paperwork on the desk in front of him.
"Mr Braxton, Dr Jones has finally won his battle and persuaded us to allow you see Sergeant Buckton. I have here some paperwork that will gain you access to the ICU at the hospital. I will need you to sign it and then we will have to discuss how you will leave Summer Bay as we think that you are being watched by some of Kings gang. We don't think he has given up on wanting your restaurant." The Inspector pushed the papers across to him. Brax picked up the pen and signed were Joyce had indicated. He looked at the form. It had his picture on it and attached to it was a photocopy of his driving licence. He pushed it back towards the Inspector.
"I think I know how I can get out of the Bay." Brax said.
"How Is that?" The Inspector asked.
"I get my brother to drive my ute the opposite direction out of the Bay. I can either borrow Liam Murphy's bike or he can take me to where I can pick up the bus to the city. I will let you know after I have organised it."
"If you ring Watson here she will let me know. It might be a way of catching whoever is watching you. We can then use it to find out if Jakes gang is involved with Geoffrey King's gang. We have hit a brick wall in seeing if the gangs are linked. This could be the break we need. I don't want you to tell your brother that the police could be on his tail."
Brax smiled to himself. "He won't be pleased if he thinks you are following him. Will I be able to see Charlie again?"
"I don't know. It depends on police in the city. They are in charge of guarding her. If Dr Jones wants you there they won't be able to argue with him. He is very persuasive. But I would have thought when she comes around he would want you there. That is it. Do you have any more questions?"
Brax shook his head in reply. Inspector Joyce said his goodbyes and left the room. Watson waited for a few minutes then she said,
"I will take you back to the surf club. When you have got sorted in how you are going to get out of here you can ring me." On her way out she grabbed a card off the front desk and wrote her phone numbers on it. She then handed it too Brax. Watson then took Brax back to the surf club. She dropped Brax off in the car park and drove off. Brax walked into the surf club and went straight upstairs to Angelo's. He had a quick look around to see if there was anyone watching him. When he got into the restaurant everything was done for lunchtime. Liam had laid the tables and was just putting the finishing touches to his work. Brax walked up to him and tapped him on the arm. He indicated that he follow him across to the bar.
"Can you lend me your bike or take me to a bus stop so I can get to the city tomorrow?" Brax asked him quietly. "I can go and see Charlie tomorrow. But don't tell anyone that I am going."
Liam stared at his boss for a moment. "What if I take you to the stop that is the last one before it leaves this area for the city? If I buy the ticket it will be even better."
"Heath is going to lead away anyone who is watching me. The police think someone from Kings gang is watching me. He doesn't know it he will be pursued by Watson." Brax looked at Liam when he said this. He saw Liam smile in amusement. "I thought you would enjoy that. I'll get Heath to go on a wild goose chase." As Brax pulled his phone out of his pocket and he was just about to ring Heaths number when he walked in.
"Heath can you do me a favour for me in the morning. I want you to go to the national park and keep going to you either get to Bay View or West Head. I'm not telling you why. After all if you hadn't raided Jakes crop none of what's happened would have happened. You owe me one. You will take the ute."
Heath was about to refuse when he looked at his brothers expression. Brax was looking at him in such a manner that refusing was not on. Heath nodded.
"What time do you want me to do this?" He asked Brax.
"About nine in the morning." Brax replied. "I will tell you later in the day."
"I will miss my morning surf," Heath complained.
"Take a board with you. It's good at West Head." Brax replied. He leant down and picked up a bottle of beer and gave it too Heath. "That's your payment."
Liam went into the office and picked up his jacket and helmet. He left the restaurant and went to buy Brax a bus ticket to get to the city. As he walked out of the restaurant he heard Heath make a crack about him disappearing. He then heard the slap as Brax's hand slapped his brother's head. Before he went into the shop he sent Brax a text. Single or return? Within minutes he got a reply. Return was the reply.
By lunchtime it was all sorted out. Liam had booked Brax a ticket to the city and Heath was ready to drive away from summer Bay. Brax went back to the house and rang Watson to tell her what was sorted.
The following morning Brax was at the surf club early. Liam was there drinking a juice near the gelato bar. Heath was with Brax. Both of them went upstairs to open up Angelo's and start setting up for the lunchtime opening. Robert the head waiter arrived about nine o'clock to take over so they could get Brax's plan out into action. Heath went downstairs and went outside and got into Brax's ute and drove off. As Inspector Joyce had figured someone was watching Brax and they went off after Brax's car. Brax walked outside just as he saw Watson drive off from the surf club car park in an unmarked police car. With her was a male officer.
