The first prayers of the day came to an end and the two men collected their
shoes and left the mosque. It was one of the biggest mosques in the country,
built of red brick with a green dome and four towering minarets, and the
streets were soon filled with worshippers, on their way home or off to work.
Most of the male worshippers wore traditional Islamic clothing, tunics or
long robes, but Nazim Hussain and Mohammed Tariq were wearing jeans
and black bomber jackets. They were both in their late twenties, skinny
with neatly trimmed beards and styled hair that glistened in the sunlight. A
third man was waiting for them in the street. He was Mizhir Khaliq, a few
years younger than they were, wearing a long black puffer jacket and a red
beanie hat. He was clean-shaven and wearing round-framed glasses. His left
eye was lazy and would often wander inward of its own accord.
Hussain and Tariq stood back to allow four women clothed from head to
foot in black to pass, then joined Khaliq. He took turns hugging them and
kissing them on both cheeks, muttering a greeting in Arabic.
‘You have it?’ asked Tariq.
‘I do,’ said Khaliq, patting his pocket. ‘So who is this Tony Swinton?’
‘He’s a screw we’ve got working for us,’ said Tariq. ‘He started at
Bradford nick about three months ago. He’s got a gambling problem and
always needs cash. His mum is in a nursing home in Listerhills and he visits
her several times a week, so we’ve got leverage if we need it. We’ve used
him a few times to take contraband in already.’
‘And he’s taken phones in before?’
Tariq nodded. ‘Twice. Good as gold.’
Khaliq nodded. ‘Let’s go, then.’
Parking close to the mosque was almost impossible at prayer times so
they had to walk several hundred metres before they reached Tariq’s car, a
grey Prius. Hussain climbed into the back. Khaliq dropped into the front
passenger seat while Tariq started the engine.
‘Is it true, he’s coming back?’ asked Tariq.
‘That’s what they say,’ said Khaliq.
‘I’ll believe it when I see it,’ said Hussain.
‘No, it’s happening,’ said Khaliq. ‘That’s why we need to get that phone
in today.’
‘I always thought he would die in America,’ said Tariq as they pulled
away from the kerb.
‘He has friends in high places,’ said Khaliq. ‘Powerful friends. Here and
in the US.’
Tariq banged on his horn as a white van pulled out in front of them, and
the van’s horn blared back. ‘Wanker,’ he muttered.
