می‌خوام بری لندن

Chapter five

I want you to go to London

The next day, Blom, Monika and Chapman met in Blom’s office.

Blom was talking about a terrorist group in Sweden called ‘Nordlandet’.

‘Basically,’ he said, ‘“Nordlandet” believe that white people should rule the world. They are a small group. They are not very strong. Few people agree with them.’

‘We have similar groups in Britain,’ Chapman replied. He started to talk about terrorism, but was soon talking about himself. He talked for forty minutes. Blom and Monika learnt a lot about how clever Chapman was, and very little about terrorists.

‘Excuse me,’ Blom said. ‘Can I ask a question? Is it possible that terrorists use football clubs to hide their activities?’

Chapman laughed. ‘What a strange question!’ he said. ‘No, I don’t think so. But anything is possible.’

Chapman stayed in Stockholm for two more days. Blom and Monika showed him what they knew about ‘Nordlandet’ and other groups. Chapman talked and talked, but said very little. Each night he asked Monika to have dinner with him, and each night she refused.

Then it was Friday and time for Chapman to return to London. He said goodbye to Blom and Monika at the SMI offices.

‘Would you like me to come to the airport with you?’ Monika asked politely.

‘Thank you,’ Chapman replied. ‘But it’s not necessary. I’ve enjoyed my visit to your little country - and I’ve learnt a lot! I hope you find the person who shot Carlsson. And from what I’ve seen, I’d forget about all these terrorist groups if I were you. Cheerio!’ he said and left.

‘Do you think he’s right?’ Monika asked. ‘A terrorist group didn’t try and kill Carlsson?’

‘I don’t know, but I want you to go to London this afternoon. I want you to find out more about this football team,’ Blom said.

Monika nodded. ‘Shall I tell Chapman I’m coming to London?’ she asked.

‘Not immediately,’ Blom said. ‘In my opinion he talks a lot and does very little. MI5 were probably happy to send him away. Now they can have him back. No, go to London and see what you can find out yourself.’
