Cinn
Thud, thud. Thud, thud.
Cinn’s head pulsated with pain that did nothing to help the
disorienting fog enveloping his mind.
His bleariness cleared, and an oval-shaped window came into focus.
Outside was only darkness. Darkness and…

He blinked.
Holy fuck, was he on an aeroplane?
A large intake of breath was his last before his throat tightened. His heart
kicked into overdrive, as a sickening wave of vertigo struck him.
Think think think.
He squeezed his eyes closed. His limited oxygen supply had him gasping
for air.
After four shaky breaths, he forced some level of coherent thought back
into his brain.
Why are you, Cinn Saunders, someone who’s never left England before,
and has a crippling fear of flying, thousands of miles high in a tin can?
He pried his eyes open to find this wasn’t any old tin can—it had to be a
private jet, if the lack of other passengers, aside from a woman sleeping
opposite him, was anything to go by. Any crew remained to be seen. Oh
God, please let there be a crew. Don’t tell me she left this thing on autopilot
and then took a nap.
The jet featured comfy cream sofa-seats and polished metal tables. The
table in front of him housed an ice bucket with an open champagne bottle
poking out of it—wherever they were travelling, they were going there in
luxury. With trembling hands, he reached down to unzip his rucksack,
placed by his feet. His headphones were clearly visible at the top. Thank
God.
He’d packed the bag earlier today… Why?
Cinn rubbed his pounding head, which his panic-fuelled adrenaline was
intensifying. Was too much alcohol to blame for it? No. This felt different.
Hazier. His brain worked overtime trying to piece together the tatters of his
fragmented memory.
His most overwhelming sensation: guilt.
After that? Fear.
It hit him like a punch to the gut—a visceral reaction so deep, he pressed
his fist to his mouth.
It was meant to be a simple job. Return to Rosewood Parlour, the
restaurant where he was undertaking a culinary training programme, in the
early hours of the morning, to let two of Heino Richter’s henchmen in.
Escort them into the manager’s office. Open the safe. Close his eyes, and
pretend it wasn’t happening.
It would have all gone to plan if only Cinn had controlled his stress
levels. Why, oh why, did he not think to bring his Walkman with him?
Maybe then he could have used his music to stop his episode. After the
safe’s door had clicked open, by his own hand, he’d watched as Ronnie and
Spiky scooped fistful after fistful of the last few evenings’ takings into their
duffle bags. That was when it got too much—when the vision of their head
chef, Benny, had popped into his head, shaking his head with so much
disappointment in his eyes.
Only a few hours before the robbery, Cinn had been with Benny—and
Sarah, their newest dishwasher—in the side alley adjacent to the restaurant,
taking a two-minute smoke break. Benny had told one of his hilarious
stories in his thick Irish accent, while Sarah threw her head back in laughter,
and Cinn leant against the wall looking between them both, thinking, this is
alright.
