Chapter 21: Mack

I followed Lurkin all the way from the complex. I saw him visiting a few of his takeaways before he stopped in the city centre. He headed towards that club Coral I had heard about from Claire. I remembered her mentioning a few well- known drug dealers who liked hanging out up there. I doubted that Lurkin wanted to be associated with any of them, but still, it was worth going to see what he was up to. After half an hour, when I found him again, he was at the bar. It took me a moment to recognise that my hot neighbour, Ellie, was with him. This was definitely not what I was expecting. She just didn't strike me as a person that liked places like this.

Ellie was just a stranger and I kept telling myself that I didn't care that she was with him, but the problem was, I did care. I dragged my hand through my hair and decided to watch them for a bit. She was sitting close and they looked like they were enjoying themselves.
