Chapter 5

The car took us to Heathrow, Sally came with us and walked us through to the flight.

It was the British Airways flight to New York. I slept and ate my way to the USA. We got off the flight and were whisked away by a secret service guy. He had a car and he dropped us off at the great hotel in times square. He told us we were booked in for a week. To eat and drink all we wanted and to put in the room, they would sort out the bill.

For five days we toured the city, did all the touristy things, and had some great meals. We were just two mates having a great time. We did the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Tour, we went to Manhattan and then just bummed around the city.

Then on day six as we sat in a trendy bar eating burgers and fries, in Hell’s Kitchen, we saw Peters and Karen walk into the bar.

They walked over and pulled out chairs.

“Gentlemen do you mind if we join you, “Peters said, he was dressed in Levi’s and a band tour t-shirt. Karen was in jeans and a denim blouse. It suited her and made him look like a fish out of water.

I held my hand up to the waiter and ordered four beers.

“Are you guys having a good time?” Karen asked and took a fry off my plate, she dipped it into the ketchup before eating it.

“Yes, it’s been good so far, but I get the feeling it is all about to end, “Guns said.

“Yes and no, we have another job, it’s right up your street,” Peters said.

The waiter brought over the four beers, and we all clinked glasses and took a sip of the cool beer.

“We found some evidence that led us to a terrorist cell in the UK, well three Cells,” Karen said.

“And you want them taken out?” I asked.

“You hit the nail on the head,” Peters said and smiled, “You guys did such a good job that we feel you have to be on the job, and then after we might need to talk to your bosses about keeping you in our team”

We Guns and I looked at each other and exchanged nods.

“When do we leave?” Guns asked.

“We are all booked on flights tomorrow at noon” Karen replied
