Leseprobe:
(Kursiv: wird durch Ihre Angaben ersetzt)“This man must die!”
A black-and-white photo was lying on the rustic wooden table, and for a few seconds, none of the five men standing around it said a word. The one who had spoken was a tall, lean man whose hair must have flared red once upon a time. Now it was completely grey, except for a few streaks.
His intelligent eyes flashed as he looked the others up and down. He seemed to notice even the slightest detail.
One of the men broke the silence and said: “I have seen him before. In the newspapers...”
The grey-haired man nodded. “That’s possible. He’s a judge. His name is William Doherty.”
“I’ve heard the name before, too. People say he’s a tough guy.”
“Even tough guys get buried one day.”
“Do you already have a plan, Seamus?”
The grey-haired man nodded. “You can get ready.” A faint smile dashed across his face. “You all know the other side is pricking its ears. So listen! Before we get started, we have to wait for further instructions from above...”
After a brief pause, someone asked: “What about the new man?”
Seamus pulled up his eyebrows. “McDowell?”
“Yes. I made sure he didn’t come with us today. Just the way you wanted.”
“What about him, Patrick?”
“Will he take part in the operation?”
Seamus screwed his eyes up a little and rubbed his protruding nose. He seemed to be thinking and not quite sure what to do. Then he looked up and declared: “Listen, Patrick, you can tell McDowell that an operation is about to take place and he may be allowed to take part. That’s it!”
Patrick nodded. “Alright.”
“Don’t give him any details. Neither who it’s about nor anything else.”Seamus turned away from Patrick and looked from one to the other. “I’ll be back in one week”, he said. “And then you will hear more.”
That was the end of the meeting.
Patrick took the black-and-white photo from the table and looked at it closely before handing it back to Seamus. “That swine has deserved a bullet in his head, hasn’t he?”
The corners of Seamus’s mouth became tighter now. One of the muscles in his face jerked slightly. “He’s deserved worse than that, Patrick”, he replied harshly. “Believe me!”
Patrick had never doubted a single word that Seamus had uttered. Never, in all these years.
