Macbeth exited the lift in the basement and stood for a couple of seconds inhaling the smell of leather, gun oil and male sweat. Looked at SWAT’s motto under a fire-breathing red dragon: LOYALTY, FRATERNITY, BAPTIZED IN FIRE, UNITED IN BLOOD. My God, it felt like a minor eternity since then.

He walked through the door to the SWAT common room.

“Olafson! Angus! Hey, what is this? Sit down, don’t jump up like a couple of recruits. Where’s Seyton?”

“In there,” Angus said in his unctuous priest-like tone. “Sad to hear about Banquo. The lads are collecting money for a wreath, but you probably aren’t—”

“One of the boys anymore? Of course I am.” Macbeth pulled out his wallet. “Thought you were on sick leave, Olafson. Where’s the sling?”

“Slung it.” Olafson’s lisp made him sound Spanish. “The doctor thought I’d destroyed all the tendons in my shoulder and would never be able to shoot again. But then Seyton looked at it and suddenly it was fine again.”

“There you go. Don’t trust doctors.” Macbeth passed Olafson a wad of notes.

“That’s too much, sir.”

“Take it.”

“It’s enough for a coffin.”

“Take it!”

Macbeth went into his old office. Which wasn’t actually an office but a workshop with gun parts and ammunition on shelves and benches, where the typewriter had been moved unused to a chair.

“Well?” Macbeth said.

“The boys are briefed,” Seyton said, sitting with a thick instruction manual in front of him. “And ready.”

“And our two Gatling girls?” Macbeth nodded to the manual.

“The machine guns are coming at about eight, early tomorrow morning. You spoke to the harbor master, I take it, so that the boat could jump the queue?”

“We couldn’t have the girls coming late to the party. And there’ll be a little job for you lads later tomorrow.”

“Fine. Where?”

“In Fife.”
