Prologue

Keeping a safe distance, they watched and waited.

“How much longer do we have to wait? This is doin’ my frigging head in.”

“Patience. You know what youngsters are like, I doubt if she’ll hang around too long.”

The younger one, Adam, hunkered down in his seat and zipped up his hoodie. “Give me a nudge when you see any action.”

He tutted and observed all that was taking place on the street through his mirrors, hating this time of the year; the nights were getting lighter and hampering their business.

His attention was drawn back to the bungalow ahead of them. He saw movement in the lounge and then two figures appeared at the front door. He elbowed his partner. “We’re on. She’s leaving.”

Adam sat upright. His hoodie still in place, he fidgeted in his seat. “What are we waiting for? We need to make the move now.”

Expelling an impatient breath, he glared at his partner. “What have I told you about being too hasty? Pace yourself, lad. At least, wait until her visitor has left. Hide your face, she’s coming this way.”

They both looked in the opposite direction until the young woman had passed, her pace quickening the closer she got to the main road. They had kept the bungalow under observation for a while now, knew who the girl was and what she did after she paid her grandmother a visit. She’d be heading for the bus stop on the main road. That bus was due to arrive in two minutes.

“What now?” Adam demanded.

“We wait it out, until we’re sure the granddaughter has got on the bus and is safely on her way back into town.”

“I hate this!”

“That much is obvious. Think of the reward we’re about to receive, that should put you in a good mood.”

“You reckon? Nothing is guaranteed in our line of business, you know that.”

It was true, but he’d been in this long enough to know these pensioners were ripe for the picking. Always have a stash of cash hidden somewhere. Most old folks detested putting their money in a bank, now that the banks
