‘Phillip John Rogers. Aged eleven-years; enticed by one Steven O’Hara and introduced to addictive substances. Rogers will be using Crack Cocaine by age fifteen and will die from a drug induced heart-attack at seventeen-years and three-months of age.’

The scene changed once again and this time they were shown Steven O’Hara in all his glory. A long list of names rolled under the images of O’Hara and his friends, names of people who had become customers of the blonde headed dealer. There were a lot of them, too, probably in their hundreds, Ken guessed. Their names were interspersed with several scenes of the police and also numerous funeral corteges, with the distraught faces of relatives appearing briefly on some TV show or another. All the time the grinning face of the skinny blonde man would be shown as he and his friends went about their daily business.

“They’ve got a lot of guns these bastards, haven’t they?” Mike said, and shot a quick glance across at Ken just as O’Hara was shown to be shoving a machine-pistol into the bottom of a cupboard.

“Yeah I reckon so, that’s a bloody MAC-10, isn’t it? I just can’t believe these idiots have access to gear like that!” Ken shook his head and looked across at Jane in disbelief.

Finally the briefing, as it were, came to an end. All of the information began its transfer onto the disc, and whilst they waited, George summed up. “So, there you have it, a rather nasty little man, I would say. Fortunately his wellbeing is of no concern to us whatsoever, but his influence over young Master Rogers is of critical importance! We actually thought for a while we would be clear of this, Rogers was scheduled to move away but those plans seem to have faltered for now. We cannot allow O’Hara to influence this young man, not at all!” They nodded in agreement. George spoke again. “I know this is difficult for you and you should be aware that we are eternally grateful for the way in which you have all conducted yourselves. Many of these people are going to be doing great things in the future, some of the results neither you nor I will ever see, unfortunately. Time passes for us all I am afraid.” Turning away from them, he reached across and they heard the tapping of a keypad before he looked back up at the screen. “I have transmitted further instructions for you to read. All we need for you to do is use to the aerosol on him, and then take O’Hara to the warehouse. There are others involved in this and we cannot be sure as to how they will behave? Just take him to the location as per the briefing and then observe the Scanner from a safe distance.” He paused and then said, “One other thing: be careful with this person, he is very wily and has managed to survive on his wits thus far. I doubt very much if you will simply be able to barge in on him? This may call for some ‘special tactics’.
