Thank you very much.
Carrie, I've no wish to fall out with you.
She waved him off.
No, sorry, it's me.
I was a bit pissed off, but that's just the tiredness speaking.
I should go home, get some sleep.
She made no move to stand.
A phone vibrated against the table and they both looked down.
Cormac picked it up.
That's Emma, Cormac said.
He answered the call.
Em, you finished?
I'm in Busker's, the back bar.
The half smile on Cormac's face dropped away and he stood, putting a hand to his ear to block the noise of the bar.
He locked eyes with Carrie.
Where are you?
Emma, stop, take a breath.
Cormac's face was tense, but his tongue was very controlled.
Tell me where you are.
And then he was moving.
