Revenge (2 page)

I'll be away on family business until next week. My wife is putting me under pressure to spend time with my son and I must try to keep her happy until I figure out how to proceed.

You quoted me in pounds sterling so I'm assuming that my deposit will be going to the United Kingdom and that you will sort out the money for the people involved in the hit. I was wondering because it would be easier for me to send the money to a specific location to be collected after each job is co
mpleted. This would make it
uncomplicated for me and I could go ahead with the money transfer immediately.

I would be
grateful if you would let me know if it's possible for it to look
like an accident and not a hit.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Mark,

We have made preliminary reservations at the Belvedere Hotel in Dublin city centre for the night of April 28th. The job will be completed on Ap
ril 29th.
My men will use poison on the targets in Ireland and I will take care of your wife in France.

Do not send cash. Is it possible for you to go to a bank other than your local bank and obtain a cashier's cheque? I need to have the deposit before I give my orders to my people
to do the job. I am located in the United Kingdom.

Call or email me if you have any further questions.

Savannah,

I appreciate your speedy response to my email. I can see that
my plan is starting to become
real and I'm more determined than ever to go through with it.

The two women spend most of their weekends in a town called Westport in County Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland. My wife and I have a holiday home there and they seem to spend more time there than I ever did. They often have friends staying with them. Neither of them has a steady boyfriend, so they would possibly be interested in being chatted up.
Maybe that would be a way for your men to get close to them?

They drink in The Oliver Plunkett Bar which is on the main street in Westport. It's very popular with the locals and has a late bar licence. What's your plan for the girls? Will you put poison in their drinks? I need to know which poison you p
lan on using because
autopsies will be performed and I should know what would be concluded. Would it not be easier for your people to stay in a hotel in Wes
t
port and maybe start chatting to them in the pub? Then again, you know your business and how best to go about it.

I can arrange to be in France with my wife when the hits in Ireland take place. What will you do about my wife, especially if I'm with her? You mentioned in your email that you plan on taking care of her. I'm sure I could get the keys of the apartment to you and arrange to be out when you target her. Obviously, I would be a suspect, especially as there have been problems between us recently. There can't be any errors. Nothing can implicate me.

I have to advise you that I may not be prepared to go ahead with the plan as soon as next week. I'll be leaving Dublin to go to France on Tuesday and I'll need more time to arrange the loan. I won't return to Ireland until the middle of May.

I could send you some cash which
I have access to in t
he business account to cover
the deposit but the two women might notice the money is gone and they'd ring my wife immediately. Then she would know that I took the money and she'd want answers from me. I realise this is my problem and I will resolve it, but I need to be careful. I'll get the money to you but it may not be as soon as I'd hoped. I'd like to see an end to this situation sooner rather than later.

I can't talk on the phone at the moment and I'll be away from my computer for the next few hours. Maybe you could text me but I think it would be better if you emailed me instead.

I appreciate your help and we will definitely do business. I have no conscience whatsoever about my wife or the women. They've ruined me. My life is a living hell now and I'm at my wife's mercy for everything. I need to get my business and my life back and nothing will stop me.

Mark,

You need
to stop worrying so much. Try to relax.
W
e will take care of everything. This is my business and I can guarantee that the job will be done.

We have to have the deposit before we can proceed. We'll need the money by Tuesday, April 26th. Don't worry about the targets discovering the missing money. We will get rid of them before they can cause any trouble for you. We are planning the hits on the women on April 29th and your wife on April 30th.

We can arrange to meet you to get
the key but we also have ways o
f getting inside without keys.

We'll need to have a photograph of the two women and your wife too.

Savannah,

I agree that I should leave everything to you and not concern
myself with the details but I
can't help being concerned.

I could send the keys of the apartment in France to you or leave them somewhere near the apartment for you to collect. There is a complication about
France. We have a yacht and my wife
might arrange to take it out at any time. It will be difficult for me to confirm where she will be exactly until much closer to the time. I suppose it would be possible for me to stay in touch with you by text if she and I are on the yacht. However, if my wife and I are on the boat together I don't want anything to happen
to her there. If she received
bad news about the other women I know she would immediately return to the apartment to pack anyway.

I have photos of my wife and one of the women. I'm sure I can find a photo of the younger woman somewhere. I'll have a search through my files and I'll email them to you as soon as possible.

I can't help being concerned about withdrawing the cash. Ideally, the women won't have time to find out about the missing money but I have to consider the consequences if you can't get near them as planned. What would happen if I transferred the money to you by next Tuesday? They might notice the withdrawal before your men have had an opportu
nity to get to them. This is a
serious concern for me. They cannot be suspicious of me in any way. I'm already walking a very fine line here; believe me.

I have a suggestion. I can access approximately twenty thousand euro quite easily by your deadline. It's money which I have in my personal account and wouldn't be noticed by anyone. I would be willing to send the twenty thousand euro immediately and I'd pay a little more than the quoted fee after the job is completed, to compensate you for the inconvenience. How would that suit you? There is a considerable amount of cash in the apartment in France; almost enough to cover your total fee. Once my wife has been taken care of I'd be able to send you the balance within a matter of days. What do you think?

Let me know if my suggestion is agreeable to you. If not, please advise if you will be willing to complete the job at a later date. When I've had some time to sort out my finances I will get the money in full to you.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

This is the deal. We can accept twenty five thousand pounds sterling by Tuesday, April 26th.  I don't know what that equates to in euro, but that is your problem. You can send the fifty thousand pounds sterling, which is the balance of the deposit, on Thursday, April 28th, the day our team arrives in Ireland. The remainder of
the money
must be paid no later than forty eight hours after the job is completed. This is our contract or
you will become our target. I a
po
logise for my bluntness but that
is our policy.

Please send the photographs of the targets with their names and addresses as soon as possible.

Stop worrying about other people. They do not know anything and never will know. Let us do our job and try to relax. If you worry
you will make a mistake and
there is no room for error or suspicion.

Savannah,

I assure you that I'm not trying to be awkward about payment. If you can successfully help me to escape from my intolerable
situation then it's money
well spent
, in my opinion
. Your suggestion is reasonable but I'm going to France next Tuesday and I have to withdraw the cash and leave it somewhere for you. However, as I've already explained, the two women could notice that the money is missing after I've left Ireland and they may tell my wife. There would be serious consequences for me if she found out about the withdrawal. I realise you plan to take care of her on Saturday, but I would be concerned that she might mention the missing money to someone else. She is very friendly with the neighbours and is on first name terms with most people in the complex and she might tell one of them about the withdrawal.

I guarantee that I will pay the balance of any money I owe you after the jobs are completed. I have absolutely no intention of being your next target by not upholding my side of the deal! I have two children of my own and I plan on b
eing around for them for a
long time. They'll need me more than ever once their mother is gone. I feel guilty about taking their mother but she's left me no choice. She has put me in an impossible situation. My sons are another reason
why I need to be
careful. There's no way that I can end up in
jail and leave them alone
. When I confirm the job by paying you the deposit, I guarantee you that I'll finish it by paying you what I owe. 

I've been considering our plans and I was wondering if it might be more believable if one of the women were to go first, followed a few months later by the other woman and then shortly after that by my wife. Initially, I wanted to get the job done at the same time because I figured that nobody would
be
left to question me about the missing money, but maybe it's the wrong idea. Your advice would be appreciated.

I work in the same office as the targets and I used the computer at work to search online for a hitman some months ago. I didn't know then that I would go ahead with the idea, that's all it was at first; an idea. I'm assuming that if the job doesn't go according to plan and the police seize the computer, they could find evidence of my search. I have
to get rid of the computer but I'll need your help.

It's the weekend so I won't be able to talk to the bank about sanctioning a loan until Monday. I can't confirm until then whether or not I'll be able to get the deposit to you in time for the job to go ahead next weekend. I'll keep you informed.

Mark,

The plan is that we will get close to the two women in Ireland. I will fly to France alone and you can give me the keys to the apartment then. Leave the details to me.

I need to pay my people to get the job done, which is why I have to be insistent about having some money upfront. The deal still stands as previously discussed. I will give you until Monday evening to organise the mone
y. You can send it by
courier
for next day delivery. Then it will be with me by Tuesday. Your only other option is to go to another bank and transfer the money to me. I'm sure you can come up with a suitable excuse to tell your wife. You seem like an intelligent man. I'm sorry but without the deposit the deal is off.
