Cookie kept up a low moaning throughout most of the night. Usually he was the first to depart the slob room, but in the morning he was still there, struggling to get his jacket on as the other boys were lining up.

Hutchinson came by. ‘Cookie,’ he said, ‘gimme a look at your hand.’

Cookie unwound the T-shirt that bandaged his damaged hand. Baz caught a glimpse of red raw flesh, the glistening crustiness of burst blisters. He knew something of what that felt like.

Hutchinson looked briefly down at Cookie’s hand. ‘OK. Isaac said to send someone else with you if you weren’t gonna be able to work properly. So … er … you’ – he pointed at Baz – ‘get on down to the kitchens and give this idiot a hand. Ha! Give him a hand …’ Hutchinson chuckled at his own feeble joke. ‘Rest of you line up outside the sort room.’

So Baz found himself unexpectedly accompanying Cookie, walking towards the dark end of the main corridor, about to enter a world that few of the X Isle boys had ever seen.
