“She lied! She fucking lied!” I fumed on the Pipe, prowling the aisle, fists clenched. The carriage was empty apart from Joe, our fellow passengers wisely having decided to vacate a few stops back. “How many hours have we wasted on this crap?”

“Dunno,” Joe said. “Four maybe.”

“It’s a rhetorical question.” I slumped into the seat opposite. “She’s never lied before. Not to me.”

“She was kinda right, just got the wrong commodity…”

“You don’t get it, she doesn’t get things wrong. She deliberately wasted our time.”

“She did seem kinda pissed. Taking a little revenge maybe? For her rat I mean.”

I thought it over. Choi certainly had a vindictive streak, there had been enough bodies on the ground over the years to attest to that. But not to me, we had too much history of shared dependency, however much we both resented it.

“Y’know, Inspector…” Joe began.

“Alex, I keep telling you.”

“Yeah. You look like a man in need of a drink.”
