I got back on with it, enjoying myself a little less now. Not because of Ben’s lack of appreciation, but for another reason. I was getting to the end of the job, and that meant one thing. We had to start thinking about driving home.

You’ll probably appreciate it wasn’t the thought of three thousand miles sitting next to Ben that worried me. Nor his insistence on choosing the music on the iPod. My concern stemmed purely from the two international borders we had to cross before we got home.

We’d tried to get a good look at the customs area on the Spanish port as we came through, and Ben had even fired off some photos, holding his phone in a way that didn’t make it too obvious what we were doing. Unlike the time we’d driven back the summer before, the customs section was empty, but that might just have been because all the incoming traffic from our ferry had already passed through. The photos didn’t help much: slightly blurry images where you could see a row of sheds painted blue, tables inside just visible where, presumably, suitcases could be opened and examined. We couldn’t see much else, but you could guess it. Inner rooms with tiny windows where the guilty would be led away to, the first step in a journey through the Spanish criminal justice system that would destroy our lives. Our plan didn’t rely on evading the customs officers. We were banking that we had the gear well enough hidden that it didn’t really matter if they stopped us. With no reason to suspect we were anything other than tourists, they might check the van, they might even rifle through our bags, but they’d never justify drilling into our boards. But as we got closer to testing this, I became less and less confident about that.
