“What we talked about this morning,” Alasdair began in a low whisper. “I meant it. We need to get a charger back from that old guy’s cabin.”

“Ain’t interested,” Lee answered with a shake of his head.

“How can you no be interested? It’ll get us oot of here!”

Lee rubbed his eyes and yawned. “You’re foolin’ yourself,” he told him. “There won’t never be no cavalry coming to rescue us. We’s stuck here. You’re just going to get yourself stuck on one of them Mr Punch’s cocktail spears.”

“So that’s it, you’re giving up? You’re just going to lie back and take this? Soup and slavery, how long do you think we’ll last on that? I’d give it a month at the most. Look at the state of us after just one day of it!”

“I ain’t risking my neck for no dumb scheme to swipe a phone charger.”

“Is this you no getting involved again? I thought you was just being selfish last time, but that’s no it. You’ve been saying all along we weren’t ever going to get out of here. You guessed there’d be fences and guards.”

“No, those guards were a surprise to me too.”

“But you knew about the fences. Why the hell did you no tell anyone? We could’ve done something about it if we’d known.”

“Real question you should ask yourself is, why didn’t you expect the fences? Did you really think you was only here for a happy weekend? They was a foregone bit of obvious to me.”

“If I’d known, I’d have run. I wouldn’t have sat back and waited for it to happen. You took that choice away from me – and everyone else here.”

“Oh, be real. How far do you think you’d have got if you’d run away? They’d have caught you and brought you right back. I saved you a lot of wasted hope and energy.”

Alasdair moved away from him.

“For a minute there I almost thought you was chicken, but that’s no it. The problem wi’ you is, you’ve given up. Och, you’re full of the big man, sassy talk and attitude, but you’ve really caved in and surrendered inside, haven’t ye?”

Lee checked his watch. “Almost eight,” he said dryly. “You’d best get back to your own place before lights out.”

“I’m goin’ all right,” Alasdair said. “I cannae stand the smell of defeat and self-loathing in here; it honks worse than what we were picking all day long.”

He stomped down the stairs and returned to his own cabin. Lee put a pen in his mouth and wished he could light it. On the next bed Marcus stirred.

“Now who’s got their handbags out?” the Manchester lad asked with a mocking grin.

“Shut up, Lynxstain.”

“You’re both right though,” Marcus said, turning over. “And both wrong too. Trying to nick something from that Jangler’s cabin is a moronic idea. Trying to get out of here isn’t. I’m going to escape, first chance I get.”

“Then you’ll wind up dead.”

“Not if I’m clever about it.”

“Then you’ll definitely wind up dead.”
