by Chris Ryan


  I dived and picked it up: a Polaroid colour print, five by three. It showed Tracy, holding Tim on her hip, in front of the fireplace, and, on either side of her, a man in a black balaclava armed with a pistol. They were standing in the mock-heroic attitudes always shown in the IRA murals in Belfast.

  I sat down hard on the arm of a chair, breathless with shock. How did they know? I thought desperately. How did they connect her with me? And then in a flash I remembered. That man I’d chatted to so innocently about fishing in the Spanish Galleon, the pub on the coast of County Antrim. The man who’d come round to the cottage next morning. That one contact had been enough.

  My hand was shaking. I stared at the photograph, and the expression on Tracy’s face. A stranger might have thought she was smiling, but I could see how scared she’d been when the flash went off.
