Kovalenko’s reach was huge and it terrified Burrows just how powerful a man he was.
Powerful and cruel.
Burrows had arranged for the safe transportation of his fortune, purchased a one-way ticket and now, having thrown up the last of his nerves, he felt like he had finally stepped from one life to another.
It was time to live as Gregory Baker.
A retired ex-pat who settled down in Kiev with the massive fortune he’d made as a stock broker.
It was better than living the rest of his life in a prison where he would be signalled out as part of the system that had let most of the inhabitants down.
He made his way through the gate and boarded the plane, finding his seat and locking himself in place. He wasn’t the best flyer, but he was ready to leave it all behind.
His crimes.
His life.
His country.
All of it.
As the plane shot down the runway and lifted into the sky, Burrows felt liberated, that all of his indiscretions had been left on the ground and he was a man reborn.
He had gotten away with it.
He was free.
Four rows back, sat in the window seat, Sam Pope lifted the bill of his cap and shot a look in Burrows’ direction. Etheridge had sent him all the information he needed to track Burrows down and also furnished him with a state-of-the-art passport.
As Sam watched Burrows order a gin and tonic, he took a sip of the mineral water he had ordered. The seat was uncomfortable, the beating he had taken from Oleg Kovalenko was still echoing throughout his body. The bullet wound in his leg still sent painful reminders whenever he tried to move in his cramped confines.
But it would be worth it.
In just over four hours, they would land, and Sam would introduce himself.
Sam wanted the head of the snake.
And Burrows would lead him straight to him.
As Burrows sipped his drink, Sam glanced out of the window, and England faded from his view.
It was time to take the fight to them.
