Caught up

Chapter 2

"Right, are you two ready to go in?"

"Yes Gov." Sam and Phil replied in unison.

"Good, now remember, don't talk about the operation anywhere near any members of staff."

"Ok." Sam was the one to reply.

An hour later, Sam and Phil were both in the club, drinking separately. Phil was at the bar, flirting with one of the barmaids, Sam was sitting at a table on her own.

A couple of minutes later, Sam spotted a face she recognised from one of the photos. She was expecting him to walk over to the bar, and into the back room. Instead he walked towards her and stood beside her table.

"You alone?"

"Erm yeah."

"Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all."

"I'm Rob. Hayfield." He held out his hand for her to shake.

"Hi." She shook his hand. "Samantha Nixon." She instantly regretted using her own name.

"I haven't seen you here before."

"You a regular then?" she decided to play it innocent.

"You could say that. My cousins own the place."

"Oh, right."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No, it's just not something I was expecting you to say."

"Alright, let me get you another drink."

"Oh, thank you."

"Same again?"

"Please."

"Back in a minute."

"Thank you." He smiled, before walking over to the bar.

A couple of minutes later, Rob returned with two drinks and set them down on the table before sitting down himself.
