CHAPTER 24

SYNOPSIS: Coke has gone to Hugo’s garage. He has told Kate he is going to find proof that Hugo is a spy.

Once, a long time ago, someone had told him that an Army training was useful in many ways. Coke knew now that that was true. There was a drainpipe at the back of the garage that led to the roof, and Coke managed to climb up it. He had often done such things in the army. There was a window in the roof, or a sky-light, as it is called. It was closed but not locked. Coke managed to get it open and then peered down into the dark garage below. There was a lorry parked almost directly underneath. He jumped down onto it. It was completely dark inside the garage itself. ‘Masters told me the secrets were kept in the office, but where’s the office?’ he wondered. Suddenly he heard a sound behind him, and realised he was not alone in the garage. Before he could turn round, someone grabbed him from behind and someone else shone a powerful light into his eyes. He was blinded. Then, there was an explosion of pain in his head. He realised, just before he lost his consciousness, that what had happened in Epping Forest was happening to him all over again. When he came to again, he was lying on the floor of the garage. It was at least an hour later. He heard loud voices. When he opened his eyes, he saw Kate tied to a chair. Four men were standing above him. One of them was Masters, looking pale and frightened. He was listening to a short blond man. Coke knew it must be Hugo himself. Hugo was shouting. ‘I told you were a fool. . . and idiot! Do you believe me now?’ he demanded. Masters tried to say something but could not. Hugo slapped him across the face. ‘I asked you if you believed me now?’ he shouted. ‘But. . . but Hugo. Pl. . . please listen to me!’ Masters stammered. ‘I told you someone had phoned me and asked me to look at some pistols! I told you it was an old, blind man but you said there was nothing to worry about!’ Masters said. ‘No, I didn’t. I asked you what you wanted me to do about it, you idiot!’ Hugo roared. Suddenly, one of the other men interrupted. ‘What did you say we were going to do with the girl and Coke?’ he asked. ‘I said we were going to kill them! And I said we were going to do the job properly this time!’ Hugo answered.
