All right,‟ he said at last.

The relaxed mood Anderson had bought for himself in the White Tigers‟ parlour had evaporated quickly, but he didn‟t mind. It was just one of those things that happened to a professional.

He wasn‟t sure that taking Cheng to the major was the right thing to do, but he knew that not doing it, and then discovering there was a split among the local rabble-rousers, would be a big mistake.

He took Cheng to the major‟s office, knocked and was admitted.

„This is Cheng. He‟s one of the Black Flag, the militia, and the owner of that poor excuse for a slop house where you were supposedly beaten up this week.‟

Chesterton sat back and regarded the newcomer silently.

Cheng‟s jaw dropped. This was the man who had been attacked in the Hidden Panda right enough, but he had aged a dozen years since then.

„What can I do for you, Mr Cheng?‟ the major asked. „Has Captain Logan perhaps been attacked today?‟

„No, sir,‟ Cheng said stiffly.

Anderson could see in his eyes that he was already regretting starting this. He might start changing his story at any moment to get out of it. The sergeant major leant forward so that only Cheng could hear him. „Don‟t be put off by the major. He really did get a bump on the head this week. He‟s probably sick of the ache by now.‟

Cheng nodded, and continued. „There‟s a man, he dresses like an abbot and used to be one. He‟s taking over the local chapters of the Black Flag, but what he‟s doing with them is nothing to do with the Black Flag‟s aims. I think he is the warlord behind the attacks on random towns and villages.‟

„What makes you think that?‟

„He told me, when he wanted me to follow him.‟

„And what did you say?‟

„I said “Yes, sir” because anyone who refuses him is killed.

Then I packed my bags and wanted to leave.‟
