When Freya met Aiden

78

Up the road Karan and Georgie were sitting in the diner, they'd ordered food and coffee and were eating when a very shifty looking man came in. He walked up to the counter, said something to the guy behind it and the guy pointed towards Karan and Georgie. He walked over, "Good afternoon ladies, may I sit down and join you? My name is Tudor, Tudor Morris." "Pleased to meet you Mr Morris, please take a seat, I'm Karan Gayle and this is Georgie." "Pleased to meet you ladies, have you come alone? I mean there was only supposed to be one of you." "Well we're traveling together, so you get two for the price of one, aren't you lucky?" Karan said. "Can she be trusted?" he asked pointing at Georgie. "Yes I trust her with my life, which is more than I can say about you, isn't it? Seeing as we've only just met." "I'm sorry, it's just that you can't be to careful when a certain someone is involved, can you?" "No you can't but we're very trustworthy, we wouldn't have been given the job if we weren't. So what have you got for us?" "Information about a big meeting between the boss and a boss from a drug cartel, apparently the cartel boss, has tried to muscle in on GWS's territory, and it's not going to happen. The rumour going round is that GWS is going to make a big show of putting him down, and he might do the job himself, to set an example to anybody else who has big ideas." "Do you have proof? or is it merely toilet talk?" "I have proof, but not here I'm not stupid, I want safe guards, I'll need protection, big time." "Why are you turning on him now?" Asked Georgie. "Look let's take this outside, it's getting to crowded in here." "It's a bikers chapter house, what did you expect, it's good cover." said Karan

 "Look outside or I'm going, it's up to you." Karan and Georgie exchanged glances " Ok we'll come." They all got up just as a fight was starting, they headed to the back door and a couple of the bikers started hassling Karan and Georgie. One tried to kiss Georgie and as she smacked him one Karan was through the door and it closed. By the time Georgie got to the door a rusty pickup was driving off at speed and there was no sign of Karan or the man. The next thing Georgie's got two bikers standing by her. "Where did they go?" asked Ruddy. "In that rusty pickup, I knew there was something not quite right about him, I should have listened to my gut." "That's one of the reasons we're here, Freya's gut. She had a feeling something wasn't right, let's get back inside quick, did you get the license plate? Let's get inside and put it out now." In they went, Ruddy slammed his fist on the counter, "Right you lot, we have a situation, I want a license plate putting out to everybody We know, we don't want to involve the police if at all possible, so I want as many riders on the road as possible." He gave out the licence plate number and description of the pickup, when all that was done he slammed his fist down again. "Right, now I need answers, who payed who to start off a fight? and don't anybody play dumb I'm not in the mood for idiots." Nobody said anything for a few minutes, and Ruddy and Charlie were getting madder and madder. In the end Charlie, who apparently is the quiet one, slammed his fist down and said "For fucks sake, somebody better start talking, or I'll be ripping somebody's fucking head off!!! Karan is in danger, we don't know who's got her or why, but we need to find her. So the sooner somebody starts talking the better!!!!" 

He tried to calm down a bit and said very calmly, "Look if someone payed you to do it because they said they were playing a prank on someone, we'll understand, but we need to know now, the longer Karan goes un-found the worse it might be for her, and if anything were to happen to her because of your stupidity, then heads will roll." A man stood up and everybody stared at him. "Cool it you lot, nothing to do with me, but I've noticed that Scooter and the Wolf have gone, and they were definitely here when the fighting started and then they went, I saw them taking off before you came back in." "That pair of trouble makers?!!! that's who we called you in to sort out," said Jeff from behind the bar. " Where do they live? We might catch them there," said Ruddy. "They didn't go that way, they went towards Ma's, well down the road anyway, home is up the road and into the hills." "Thanks for that, I'll get on to Ma, in case they try hiding in there." So Ruddy called Ma to tell her what happened and for her to get the bikers on the road, "I'll be back shortly, and I'll have Georgie coming back with me, are Aiden and Freya still there?" "Yes, I'll let them know what's happened, they've gone to bed for a lie down. Freya's going to be mad, I'd hate to be that man if she gets her hands on him, she'll kill him. Has he got a name?" "Well he gave the name 'Tudor Morris', but I don't know if it's real or not." "Can't place it, but we can put it out there and see what crawls out of the woodwork, right I'd better go and wake the two lovebirds, Aiden will want to be here when his aunt Georgie comes in, see ya." "Right Georgie, do you have the car keys, or do you need a ride back to Ma's?" Said Ruddy. " I need a ride, Karan's got the keys, I hope it's open though it's got my other gun in there and Karan's." "Look, if you want to take the car I can hot wire it, then you can have all your stuff," said Charlie. "That would be great, but I thought these modern cars couldn't be done?" "There ain't a car made that Charlie can't open and hot wire, and then he'll put it back just how it was, so nobody will know it's been touched" said Ruddy. "Right then let's get it on the road and get back to Ma's, I know Aiden he'll be worrying about Karan and me, and Freya will be blowing her top." So they went to get the car going and set off back to Ma's.
