Hunter held Chantal’s hand as they walked, warm and tight in his grip. The sun felt too bright, the cars too fast. ‘I hate lunchtime drinking.’

She gave his hand a squeeze. ‘I love it.’

‘Not when we’re supposed to be working, though.’ Hunter checked both ways down the side street. Two, three, four, five times. ‘Come on.’ He led her across.

‘Where are we going?’

Hunter stopped on the other side and burped into his hand. ‘Bloody lager.’ He cleared his throat. ‘Right, I’m putting two and two together, so bear with me. The barman identified Tulloch. Ricky and Kerry were drinking with squaddies called Sean and Matty.’

‘So?’

‘They came up this way for a drink.’

The road curved around to the left, climbing the hill. No sign of any bars on the way up so far. A fat man marched out of a chemist’s on the right, lugging a wheeled suitcase behind him. A condom machine was mounted on the outside wall. Over the road, a row of bars sat back from the road, the distance filled with empty patio.

The beer swilling in his guts, the booze in his veins surging to his brain.

She marched off towards the first bar.

‘Chantal!’ Hunter grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

A lorry trundled past, rattling the concrete beneath their feet.

‘Remember how pissed you are.’
