I swapped the cars round and went to the supermarket to restock the freezer. Officially I still had a couple of days’ leave left, but I knew I’d be as restless as a foreskin in a synagogue if I didn’t get back to work straight away. I wrote full accounts of my trip and ran off three copies. Then I rang Gilbert.

‘Hello, Charlie,’ he said. ‘How’re the haemorrhoids?’ Funny how people always say ‘haemorrhoids’, but write ‘piles’.

‘I haven’t got frigging haemorroids,’ I told him. ‘I just said the first thing I thought of. Sorry I had to tell you a fib. Do I still have a job or am I suspended?’

‘God knows, it’s a bloody shambles. Hilditch wants you sacked, but he’s way out of order. Partridge is his own man, though, and would have done the right thing. He’s got the measure of Hilditch, I reckon, but I didn’t want to tell him what it’s all about. As far as I’m concerned you’re still with us. Where’ve you been?’

‘Spain.’

‘Christ, I knew it. Find anything?’

‘Yep. Are you in tonight?’

‘Sure. What time are you coming round?’
