Ten
Amelia visited Michael every day. The doctors couldn’t explain why he hadn’t regained consciousness. He had healed well physically but a month had passed and he still lay motionless in his hospital bed. She talked to him about her catering work, her children and how the hunt was going for Sam. The man who had paid to have him killed.
“Have you heard this on the news Michael?” said Amelia.
She reached over, grabbed the television remote and turned the sound up. There was a panning shot of a house, or what was left of a house. The reporter was stood in front of police tape and speaking to camera.
Yes John. The explosion ripped apart the house in this quiet suburban street in Ilford. Police are saying it was a gas leak. Given the early hour of the explosion they are working on the theory that the leaking gas had built up overnight and then a light being turned on as they got ready for work ignited all the gas. Hence such a large explosion.
“That’s quite an explosion isn’t it Michael. I hear there were three deaths. They are only saying two for now, but I’m pretty sure they will find a third at some point. He was hidden quite well.”
Amelia turned the sound back down and rose from her chair.
“I need to get going Michael. I’ll come and see you tomorrow, I enjoy our chats.”
Amelia kissed him on the cheek and left the room. She walked through the ward, along the corridors and out of the hospital. She took in the crisp evening air. She was happy for the first time in a very long time. Hopefully nothing would go wrong. She had decided to travel on her new motorbike. It was so much easier to travel around the streets of London on a motorbike, especially a BMW R 1200 RS. Her black leathers and helmet perfectly matching the black livery of the bike. She slotted the helmet over her head, started the bike and gunned the throttle. As she sped out onto the high street she felt good. She had ensured that the police had the evidence they needed to convict Sam of paying the contract killers. She had made sure nothing pointed to Travis, she would need him in the future.”
The fact he would never be able to stand trial didn’t worry her. She had handed out her own pure justice.
