Shaggin' wagon, by Holliex33 |
“So'm I, Coads. Hey,
let's talk about this later.” Luigi looked deep into Cody's eyes.
“And we'll get him. And he will pay.”
Looking at Luigi, no one
doubted that if he got his hands on the murderer, the man who'd hurt
his lover, he would pay. His Sicilian ancestry was visible in his
face: strong, resolute, grim; and his eyes were black with anger and
the desire for vengeance.
“It is an offence to
take justice into your own hands. The police will catch him and he
will be handed over for trial and he will pay the penalties for his
crimes.” Colin's tone was cool and firm.
Luigi just looked at him.
Colin said, “I know you're angry. And I know that you believe the
police won't do their job. But we will. And we're the experts. And
this is a case of murder. Multiple murder.”
Luigi nodded reluctantly.
Turning back to Cody,
Colin asked, “Could you describe the van?”
“It was an old Combi
shaggin'-waggon. A bit rusted. Inside it was fitted out like a
campervan, with a bench and cupboards and curtains. He put me in a
kind of chest which was underneath the seat.”
“Do you by any chance
remember the number?”
Cody shook his head.
“Wait,” he said, “on the side was the name 'St Joseph's' or 'St
Michael's', saint something, anyway, like it was a school van or an
orphanage or maybe some Catholic parish van, something like that. It
was worn, I dunno, twenty years old? Maybe older. There was rust in
places.”
