Harry walked into the office. The small room almost claustrophobic as it filled with Harrington and the impressively built goons that followed her everywhere.
"You wanted to see me." Harry stated rather than asked. The older woman nodded.
"Yes."
"What can I do for you? Only I'm about to finish and I'm dead on my feet."
"Sit down."
Harry did as she was told. Every sense in her body told her to get out of there. Something was up. The way Harrington stared at him she was convinced the woman had worked out what was going on.
"Tomorrow is a big day for me."
Harry pretended to look bored. She knew the drug deal was imminent. She just didn't know how imminent.
"Yeah?"
"So I could do without any complications. I've been told you have contacts in Spain. Where?"
"Had." Harry stated firmly. "My ex had small bar on the Costa. Sold it." She lied. "Good little money earner."
"Your ex?"
"What is this? Twenty Questions? I'm a barmaid. I dated a bar owner. He cheated on me. I dumped him. Here I am. How is that going to stop you doing anything?" Harry folded her arms like a petulant teenager.
"No." The older woman smirked. "Sally. You aren't a barmaid. Maybe once but not now. You're a copper." She felt the click of cold metal against her skin.
"Me?" Harry narrowed her eyes. She had no idea how or when her cover had been blown but she knew someone had landed her in trouble. She just had no idea who. "Are you avin a laugh?"
"Deadly serious."
"Bloody nuts." Harry glared. "I'm no more a copper than that idiot is a Prima Ballerina."
Harrington smirked at the idea of her head goon wearing a pink tutu.
"Who's been lying about me?"
"Calm down Sally! I have to be sure the people who work for me are trustworthy. You were seen talking to a copper. Last night. Tall guy; black Afro."
"So?"
"How do you know im?"
"Just around."
"Don't be evasive."
"Yeah, he's a copper. Nicked me in the past. Petty stuff. Not worth bothering about. Right jobsworth." She glared as she lied about Chas. "That do yer?"
The older woman smiled.
"Yes."
