Chapter 14

Finally, the lady returned, "He's going to call you."

"When?"

"I don't know I am not your secretary! I really have to get on, so ..." The lady was about to close the door but Jason put his foot in the way, "did you tell him it was urgent and that I need to speak to him, now?"

"I gave him your number, he'll call you, yes, yes, said it was urgent, now I really have to get on."

Jason rubbed his eyes before clenching his fists he really wanted to punch something, he removed his foot. The door shut and for the first time Jason had no idea what to do now. He walked back to the car and just as he got in, his phone rang, Jason clicked on answer "Barry I hope that's you mate?"

"Hey Jason look alike, what's up bud?"

"You have no idea how good it is to hear you!" Jason physically breathed a sigh of relief surely he'd know something?

"You sound stressed, what's going on?"

"It's a really long story but something has happened to Harry and I really need your help?"

"What's happened to Harry?" There was concern in Barry's voice.

"Someone took her and I think you just might know who it is."

"Ok.... Where are you know?

"Outside the club, The Vine."

"Ok give me 20 minutes I'll meet you there," Jason could hear screaming children in the background.

"Thanks Barry."

Jason really needed a coffee, a strong one, he left the car, locked it and walked a little way down the street until he found a coffee shop. People were staring at him despite him wearing a cap, he could tell some were even tempted to come up to him and ask him if he was who they thought he was. But Jason wasn't in the mood and he tried to give off that vibe.

God knows what was happening to Harry now, it had been hours since she'd been taken, why couldn't he have done more? Jason beat himself up mentally. He ordered his coffee and knew he should eat something but his stomach just churned at the thought. After paying for his coffee Jason walked back to his car where he found Barry had parked just behind him.

There was no getting away from it, Barry was a big lad, not as big as the Rock, who Jason had worked with, but he was a big dude none the less.

"You look rough!" Barry greeted Jason with his hand out.

Jason took it and they both shook, "it's been a long night... thanks for meeting me."

"No worries, so what's going on?" Barry leant back on the car.

Jason explained everything to him about him finding Harry beaten up, about Carl, about their retreat to the Peaks, the black BMW and finally the fact that Harry had been taken and the only clue he had was this badge with half a face and the beginning letter of a name. Which Jason handed to him.

"You know who it is?" Jason asked urgently.

"Yeah I know him, he works for me sometimes he's like a sub if one of the bouncers goes off sick." Barry seemed to examine the badge closely as he moved it around in his hand.

"You know where he lives?"

"No, but it'll be on record at the office, are you sure this is the guy that took Harry?"

"No I'm not but it's the best and the only lead I got."

"It's just that, I mean... don't get me wrong he can hold his own in a fight I've seen it but ... he just doesn't seem the type, you know?"
