street language that would occur in high-stress situations.
Excerpt from Knockout!
From
Chapter 1 – A chance encounter in the rain.
At
the entrance to the tube station there was a growing crowd. The lattice
shutters were being closed while an harassed official explained that there was
a wild-cat strike. She turned away. Ahead of her lay a nightmare journey by bus
to her empty flat in Kilburn. Suddenly the cold politics of the meeting, the
gray loneliness of the street, the crowds of uncaring strangers, filled her
with a longing for warmth and intimacy. The break from her lover, police
Commander Beaumont Locke had seemed clean but had left a jagged gap of
loneliness - like an exit wound. A gap where another rainy evening briefly
played over and over again in her mind.
She
stood on the edge of the pavement. Perhaps she could get a taxi - but with a
tube strike there was small chance of that! Several black cabs beetled along,
already filled. She kept her hand raised and as if by magic she saw the amber
“For Hire” light of a London taxi pulling in at her side. She felt a movement
from behind and heard an accented male voice:
“Zee
‘eelton ‘otel, Park Lane.”
She
turned to see a tall rock of a man, moving past her into the taxi. This guy was
going to have to back off. She grabbed the door. Even as she did so she saw his
deep brown eyes, the dark eyebrows, one of which only partly disguised a long
scar. She could never explain - even to herself - why in that instant she
wanted to touch it and know how it had been caused. Her heart raced with
indignation and a sense of excitement she had never expected to feel again…not
since… well, just not since everything.
