Carl lay on the sofa, deep in thought. It was okay Aileen saying he had to take care of Daryl, but she didn’t know his problems with Grausohn. He would have to come up with another name from the list to pacify him. One of the Brownlow kids? Janey Walker’s little lad? If he said the Brownlow three kids were involved, it would take the pressure off him, and Kenny and Tommy could grab any one of them.

Tomorrow, he needed to speak to Kenny.

The sky was overcast, with a promise of rain for later. Kenny stared out of the window; after an almost sleepless night, he still had no idea how to respond to Cissie’s email.

The child Tommy had killed was the only child he would ever father, and he knew deep down he would have to go to the funeral.

He moved across to the kitchen table, taking a notepad with him. He sat for several minutes, pen in hand, before he wrote.

Dear Cissie,

I am so sorry to hear of your daughter’s death. I had always assumed you had taken abortion as your option; if I had known you were keeping the baby, I would have supported you financially. I hope you realise that.

If you send me your address,

‘Eight Darwin Close,’ he muttered.

I’ll send you a cheque that will cover all funeral costs. Please let me know the details of the funeral, as I would like to pay my respects, if I am in Sheffield.

‘I’ll be in Timbuktu.’ There was no way he could face the funeral. Maybe.

If you need anything in the meantime, please email me.

With best wishes,

Kenny
