Under suspicion

Chapter 7

George arrives at a rusty lock up. There are two guards at the door.

He nods at them and they pass to let him enter.

He follows the rooms to the back of the warehouse and he spots other people he knows too. One young man blocks his way.
"I'm here to see Mr Briggs he's expecting me."

"Let him pass!". The voice came from a few meters away. George couldn't see who the voice was because there was so many people in the room and blocking his way.

The young man who blocked his way obeyed.

George makes his way to a tall man sitting at a desk. He looked like the type you wouldn't mess with, as if he was in charge of the mob but George wasn't scared of him.

Mr Briggs starts smoking a brown cigarette and offers George one. "No thanks I don't smoke." He nods and gestures at him to take a seat. George sits down and awaits nervously in anticipation.

"I need you to do a job for me". He puffs his cigarette. George leans in onto the table "What kind of job?".

Mr Briggs whispers into the ear of one of the young men that stopped him earlier.

The young man nods and goes into one of the back rooms.

He comes back with a brown looking package and a piece of paper and gives it to the boss.

Mr Briggs slides the package over the table to George. I need you to deliver this package to this address. He slides the paper towards George.

George sighs "What's in it?, You know I don't do drugs."

Mr Briggs leans in into the table "You don't have a choice boy, you want to play an active part in this organisation then you do the jobs I tell you." He continued "If you don't like it, there's the door. Mr Briggs moves to get the parcel but George grabs it.

"Okay, okay I'll do it."

"It's got to be delivered at 6.30 this evening not a second later understood?."

George nods "Yes Mr Briggs I understand perfectly".
