Guy once told you that there’s no real secret to obtaining illegal things. You just ask the worst person you know, and if you only know good people then you find out who’s selling drugs and you ask them.

You consult Karen’s road atlas, running your finger along England’s southern edge. Ports are supposed to be full of criminals, aren’t they? One thumbed ride and two journeys hiding in train toilets, a Dover station photo booth, all the money you have left in the world and some fluttered eyelashes later, you have a British passport bearing Karen Clarke’s name and your face. The guy who created it is a fucking artist.

That evening, your sweatpants are round your ankles and your jumper bunched around your neck on the surprisingly roomy front seat of the cab of an articulated lorry bound for Lisbon. If the man on top of you can tell your recent medical history, he doesn’t say anything. As he pumps away inside you, you calculate from the names and dates inked on his forearm that Jade must be seven, Cody must be five and Rocco is just coming up to his third birthday.

Technically speaking, legally speaking, your passage across the Channel is people-smuggling, but no one looks for people being trafficked out of the UK. You’re pretty much mates by the time he drops you in Spain, near the Portuguese border. You feel bad for helping yourself to the roll of pesetas you found tucked behind the passenger sun visor. You hope that wasn’t meant for Rocco’s birthday present.
