Meanwhile
James pondered whether he should follow Kay or not. But then he remembered she was being GPS followed. He clicked a button on his phone and the screen sprang to life. He navigated his way through the phone until he found the GPS application. When he clicked it, the streets of London came up in black lines. Kay came up as a little blinking red dot. James didn't really pay attention to where Kay was. Instead he had other things to worry about.
There was one man James knew could find Gerard. Earlier M had told James about him. His name was Ray Aders. Apparently the man was a genius. Ray was the connector of the underworld of criminals. If a job needed to be done, Ray was the man to go to. The club Ray owned was a nice cover-up. James supposed he would have to go talk to this man.
James threw on a jacket and shoved his gun in the band of his jeans. The gun provided a sense of comfort. James opened the door and walked out. He took the time to double-check the door had locked behind him. It was just instinctive. Now it was just a matter of finding this Ray character. M had said he couldn't miss the club.
Ray was working and Kay was bored. She sat in a metal chair and for the first fifteen minutes made random comments.
"Did you notice Ray rhymes with Kay?"
"Kay, please I'm trying to concentrate." Ray sighed.
Kay frowned and spun around in the metal chair. Another fifteen minutes passed and Kay was getting agitated. Ray had been hunched over his work table for only half an hour and Kay wasn't sure if she could last any longer. Luckily she had forgotten how fast Ray worked. The entire hour wasn't needed.
"Okay Ms. Impatient. I'm done." Ray smiled
Kay leapt to her feet and went to the work table. The metal table held the blue phone and the laptop.
"I destroyed the silver phone. The blue phone has my bank number under the name Ben. When you get the money call the number and I'll be alerted. This laptop has been programmed so the IP address will switch every 5 seconds. Anything else?" Ray finished.
Kay thought for a second," Actually there is."
Ray groaned,"I shouldn't have asked."
Kay held her arm out," Get it out please."
The wound on Kay's arm still throbbed slightly. The wound was tiny and had already scabbed over. Ray grabbed Kay's arm and examined it.
"What is it?" Ray questioned.
"I dunno but M is using it to follow my whereabouts." Kay frowned.
"Well the wound's already closed up. So…"
"It's gonna hurt, I know just get it out." Kay interrupted.
Ray shook his head and searched for a pair of tweezers. Kay had already pulled her pocket knife out. Ray found what he was looking for and grabbed a packet of sanitary wipes.
"You couldn't get this out yourself?" Ray asked as he wiped the wound clean.
"I didn't want it to break." Kay said, twisting a rag and jamming it in her mouth.
Ray decided it was best not to ask anymore questions. He took her pocket knife and made a slit across the tiny wound. Blood seeped through the cut but they were quickly cut off by a wipe. Before the blood could continue, Ray gently eased the tweezers into the cut and began to search. Kay let out a silenced scream of pain into the rag. Ray grimaced and located the small device quickly. He pulled it out lightly and set it on the table.
Kay pulled the rag out of her mouth and used to stifle the flowing blood. She delicately picked up the device. It was about half and inch long and even smaller in circumference. A little red light blinked rapidly as it transmitted a signal.
"You gonna get rid of it?" Ray said as he wiped the tweezers and knife down.
"Nah, I got a better plan." Kay smiled.
"Okay whatever."
"Hey Ray, I got one last question. Where's Gerard?" Kay demanded more than asked.
"Who?" Ray acted confused.
"You know who I'm…." Kay was interrupted by the piercing cry of the fire alarm.
Ray automatically turned his head to the computers. The cameras in the club flickered onto the screen. Kay could see the panic in the club. Figures scrambled to the doors and guards tried to manage some order. The only thing Kay didn't see was a fire. A large thud from the doorway pulled Kay's attention to the door. There were loud shouts and a sudden burst of gunfire.
Ray indicated to the three guards to check the commotion out. Kay briefly looked to the cameras and caught a flash of blondish-brown hair. It looked familiar but Kay couldn't put her finger on it.
"Kay, get in the back and hide!" Ray hissed.
There was some hesitation but Kay pulled out her gun and instead of hiding in the back she crouched to the right of the door.
Who was the mysterious attacker?
