Raz’s bedroom door had a shiny new Yale lock. A night latch on the inside by the look of it. You could usually open them with a bit of jigging and strength and a stiff sheet of sandpaper. Jenks had shown us how in the posh jail. But unless you’re a right pro it scratches up the lock and the door frame. I’d had half a day on it with Jenks but I’d never tried it for myself on the outside. Raz would see straightaway that one of us had messed with his door.

Jenks had been going to teach me how to pick locks for real, fiddling about in them with pins and stuff. I’d been looking forward to that. But then Paterson had called me in that day without warning and sent me straight out to Toxteth. I’d not seen Jenks again.

I warned Maya about all that, to stop her diving straight in and messing it up. She was in a hurry alright. I talked her into waiting a day or two so we could work something out.

“What about Manc Lee?” she said.

She was right. I remembered his life story from that rainy day down by the docks.

Maya had heard it too.

“He told everyone he knows how to pick locks,” she said.

“Raz will know it’s him, then, won’t he?”

“Raz will never find out. We’ll pick the lock, not force it.”

“The Manc’s shit-scared of Raz, like all of us. He’ll never say yes.”

“We’ll make him.”
