‘No.’
‘You sure?’
‘I don’t think so,’ I replied. The gag was replaced.
‘You anything in your pockets?’
Once again I was unable to answer properly
through the gag. A hand went into my trouser pocket
and about £100 and my provisional driving licence
were removed.
‘What’s his name?’ the gunman shouted at Katja.
‘Wolfgang,’ Katja replied quietly.
The teenage thug stepped out of the room. I heard
whispers. The older thug must have been higher up
the food chain and didn’t want to be recognised. The
younger thug came back into the sitting room and
I heard his breathing. The solid barrel of a gun was
pushed against the back of my head.
‘Where’s the money hidden?’ he barked. The gag
was pulled away from my mouth.
‘There is no money in the house.’
‘Don’t lie to me,’ he said and pushed the gun harder
against my skull. It was scary as hell knowing the hard
metal sticking into my head was the barrel of a loaded
gun. I feared a mistake could set it off and I tried to
prepare myself for that possibility, in part by seizing
up.
‘I swear there’s no money,’ I said in monotone.
‘There was money here before.’
‘It’s all gone.’
‘I thought you’d a restaurant.’
‘It was burnt out eight weeks ago.’
