"They had met a few times before. Parties, dancing in the same circles, that sort of thing. It was obvious they liked each other. Dancing close, a few drunken, slurpy kisses but never anything further than that. They were young and life was fast. Sometimes the things you wanted went past too quickly to grab hold of." Meet BB and Heather. BB's a hitman. Heather tries not to think about it. "BB and Heather" will be updated weekly on Mondays. If you enjoy this story, be sure to check out Malcolm Mackay's Glasgow trilogy: The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter (Book One), How a Gunman Says Goodbye (Book Two), and The Sudden Arrival of Violence (Book Three). Mulholland Books will be publishing all three books simultaneously in the US on April 21st.
