2. Outcome

“Sit down, son.” The policeman put his notebook on the table. There’ll be plenty of time to stand on ceremony, but this isn’t one of them.”

Phin stubbornly remained standing. “Please, tell me how he is? How bad are his injuries?”

“Let’s just say you’re a most fortunate man. The outcome could have been much worse.” The policeman, his face grim, folded his arms and looked at Phin. “You realise you might well have been facing manslaughter charges today?”

Phin swallowed hard, truly appalled by the consequences of his thoughtless, bad tempered action. “Yes, believe me, I’m so very sorry. I didn’t mean it to happen. It was a terrible accident. Tell me how is he, please? Is he going to be all right?”

The policeman’s expression changed, becoming a modicum less grim in the face of what he recognised as genuine remorse. The young man before him looked to be on the verge of tears and was visibly shaking. He imparted what information he knew.

“The hospital said he won’t be chewing toffees for a while, certainly not until he gets a new set of dentures. And he probably won’t want to watch many sitcoms, not with a cracked rib and a split lip. The consequences of laughing will be too painful. Apart from that he’s shaken and bruised. All in all he’s a remarkably lucky man. He’ll be sent home later today.”

Phin sat down, relief flooding his body, turning his knees to water. He leaned his elbows on the table and rested his head in his hands. What the fucking hell had possessed him to chuck an orange out of the window of a car travelling at forty-five miles per hour, thereby upgrading its status from harmless fruit to deadly missile. Some poor old guy on a moped, happily tootling along minding his own business had copped it full in the face. The old guy’s scooter speed combined with Phin’s car speed meant the orange hit him like a demolition ball, lifting him from his bike and sending him skidding along the road surface.

God was smiling on the moped rider. The car travelling a respectable distance behind him had a driver with good reflexes and sound brakes.

Phin had been so horrified by the scene unfolding in his rear view mirror that he lost control of his borrowed car and ended up in a roadside ditch. Trembling with shock he had scrambled free just seconds before the bloody thing exploded and erupted into flames. A rueful thought crept into his mind. He’d never managed to nick a half-decent roadworthy car, though in this case perhaps it was all to the good. Despite his best efforts he hadn’t managed to push the vehicle beyond forty-five miles an hour. If he had the orange would have been empowered with even greater velocity. It didn’t bear thinking about.

He had flung himself down beside the dazed moped rider, babbling heartfelt apologies, as the other motorist used his mobile to alert the emergency services. The old guy’s half visor helmet had offered scant protection to his lower jaw.
