Will bring burgers and napkins.
And last, but not least:
DS ROBERTSON:
Hi Guv
We still on for this review meeting?
Operation Hedgehog FTW!
Cheers
Henry
As that was the oldest message of the four, it meant Logan was very, very late for the meeting indeed.
And unlike Beardy Beattie, Robertsonwasn’ta dick.
He drifted to a halt outside Brenda’s Hair & Beauty Palace and thumbed out a quick reply:
Sorry, Henry!
Got caught up on this body-in-the-river thing.
I owe you a bacon butty.
Tufty will reschedule, OK?
SEND.
And while he was at it, might as well get back to Tara as well:
It’ll do her good to have some friends at school.
Tell her no painting her face white, though – she’ll scare Cthulhu!
SEND.
The replydinged back before he’d even put his phone away, so clearly, Tara wasn’t having a busy day at Trading Standards:
You know how obsessive she gets.
We’ll be listening to MISERABLE MUSIC and hoovering BLACK GLITTER out of the carpet for years!
Probably. But that was kids for you.
His thumbstick-tick-tick-tickticktick-tickedacross the screen:
Let her find her tribe.
Sometimes children need this stuff.
It’s how they learn friendship and responsibility and loyalty.
And that shit wasimportantin life.
