The Summer of Love:

Jimmy’s dog is barking and the boys are crying, Michael screaming; Martin slaps him across his face and says:

‘Do you want to be next?’

The boys close their eyes.

He is going to teach me a lesson.

They tie my hands behind my back and kick me to my knees, forcing my face into the sod; Leonard’s dad pulls down my pants and asks:

‘Do you love me Barry?’

I close my eyes.

He is going to make me learn.

‘No more dead dogs and slashed swans for us,’ whispered Dick Alderman, like this was good news -

It wasn’t. It was Day 2:

9.30 a.m. -

Friday 13 May 1983:

Millgarth Police Station, Leeds -

Yorkshire:

Waiting in the wings -

I pushed open the side door, the Conference Room silent as I led this damned parade out:

Detective Superintendent Alderman and the father, a policewoman and the mother, Evans from Community Affairs and me -

The Owl:

Maurice Jobson; Detective Chief Superintendent Maurice Jobson.
