For Review - What Used to be a Quiet life II http://www.ubersite.com/m/62428
I sat staring into my beer. It's funny for the past few years I have always been a spirits drinker. Southern Comfort, Jack Daniels and Dark Rum, they were my vice. Seemingly overnight I had become a bitter drinker, about a week ago not even lager. Cain was sitting opposite me supping on his pint while I tried to work out how to approach the subject in hand with him. But I had to get more important things first.
"What the hell were you doing in my toilet, and how long were you in there for? You bastard!" I picked up my pint and took a swig.
"Well when I got no answer from the door I figured I would let myself in and wait for you to come back..." As I expected
"When I was climbing through I accidentally put my foot on the lever and flushed" He laughed
"Oh good, I thought you had been in there.... A bit longer"
"Nope, just before you opened the door, lovely knockers Sandra's got isn't it?" Cain's grasp of the English language never fails to surprise me I just stared at him.
"Over the line?" He smiled again
"Yes, just a little" I replied
I looked around the pub I had drunk in here many times, it was quiet and out of the way an additional bonus is that I got on with the land lady. I used to call this place the old grannies cottage. There are doyleys on the window sills; there is floral wall paper and the occasional collectable plate. I looked out of the window to check that Sandra's car was alright. I had borrowed it to take Cain down the pub.
"So what's this urgent problem you wanted to talk about?" Cain looked at me a little concerned. I was a taken back by Cain's forthrightness.
"You're to the point aren't ya?"
"Well you know me I don't like to beat around the bush." He was right there, neither do I normally.
"There's a bloke from your area, his name's Julian, and I need to know whatever you know about him"
"I think there's a few Julian's from my area anyone of them specifically?" What a sarcastic bastard, I looked at him with my eyebrows arched; I didn't even say a word.
"Oh no James, Not" He went to a whisper "Not the drug dealer?"
"Yup that's the one, I need to know what you know about him and I need to know if someone not sitting too far from me now would be willing to do a little Picasso work on him" Cain just looked at me, probably to see if I was serious. I picked up my pint and took a big gulp.
"Well he's got a couple of what you would call henchmen, they are quite brutal plus he has an entourage. I don't know how tough he his himself, no one has ever got all the way to the core. If you can get through his entourage and his henchmen then you've got his best friend. He took a bullet for Julian once. Then and only then will you have a chance at him"
"What if I could lure him away from the entourage so that there is him and just the possibility of a couple of his friends?" I asked hopefully.
"Then my friend, we have a chance"
I then proceeded to lay down the plan, it was quite simple. I'm not exactly known for my complexity. Sandra calls and arranges a meet with him to give him some money (or take another beating) and instead Cain will be there with a couple of friends.
"Another pint?" I asked
"Yeah, I'm gunna need one"

I have a plan for the story but I'm literally writing it just before I post each section. The 4th should be tommorow but I don't think the 5th Will be till next Tuesday unless I write a couple tommorow and post them at other times.
Telling the story is actually taking longer than I expected so we are still in the realms of truth. i.e. for the most part it has been a true story so far, the rest is loosely based on a true story.
