a priority. Possible causes of the double murder are currently revolving around
politically motivated vigilante activity. Big nationalist support in the area. Organized crime hasn’t been ruled out either, but no one fancies a loner for this, and no one on the job is
demanding your immediate capture for clipping Bannerman and Bowles. They’ve known for a long time that sex offenders and paedophiles began clustering around the refugee situation, so my gut
tells me the police won’t be gnashing their teeth over a slight reduction in those numbers. Though I don’t think killing is something you will ever be comfortable with. This cannot
happen again. You do understand that?’
‘It was never something I intended to do. What about Robert East?’
‘He never reported your intrusion so we needn’t fear a connection there. As for the others, Tony Crab now has dementia and no one is connecting this to Malcolm Andrews or Bindy
Burridge, who still haven’t reported you. Above-national-average rates of the usual are massively in your favour here, public disorder, domestic violence, rape, alcohol-related violence, gang
violence, drug running, you name it, so the local force has more than enough to keep itself occupied right now.’
The father swallowed. ‘The two boys in the attic?’
‘Greek. No record of them entering the UK. Social services are going through the records of Greek nationals with refugee status, to see if they can trace any relatives. They may have been
trafficked.’ Scarlett Johansson didn’t say any more. If his daughter had been trafficked abroad by a paedophile ring, his search was futile.
Millions had been displaced from southern Europe alone, augmented by further scores of millions from the Middle East and Africa, and all pushing north into Europe. It had changed the continent.
Every man, woman and child south of France was steadily fleeing drought, heat, starvation, the wars and innumerable diseases that accompanied each dilemma. The biggest migration of a single species
ever known on the planet was underway, and it had never been easier for someone to go missing. One third of all the refugees were children.
The father knew how criminal gangs had found people willing to do anything to escape their own countries, and then escape the refugee settlements they found themselves herded inside. Gangs had
found an infinite supply of defenceless, weakened, frightened and confused people upon whom they could force their will. He also knew from his own exhaustive research that the UN and
Interpol’s estimate of children being used in prostitution, in Europe, at the time his daughter was taken, was close to one million. It was anyone’s guess how many more children had
since become subjected to sexual slavery.
The father wiped the sweat off his face with a forearm. ‘This Rory Forrester, what do you have?’
‘He’d done hard time for rape and indecent assault as a youth. Got in with a gang in the south-east. And his last known occupation was trafficking. He was arrested and imprisoned for
running Asian girls in London. Came out and drifted to Portsmouth according to his parole records. He’s been off radar for two years. The local force had no idea he was even in the
area.’
‘But they’ll go and pick him up?’
‘Not likely if he’s with the King Death gang. As I said, the police have a full plate with this lot already. The county is crawling with King Death gang activity. Illegal tobacco and
drug farms on Dartmoor. Illegal pork and poultry operations. Bootleg cider outfits and people trafficking because of the camps, which are the most sought-after refugee destinations in Europe. The
Kings are into everything now, everywhere, and taking it all over. Construction of the camps, land sharking to take over property for redevelopment, false IDs, any kind of contraband, gun running
to the jihadists and the nationalists, car theft on a massive scale, black-market meat. It just goes
