Give yourself an Oscar, thinks Detective Superintendent Roper. A-grade performance, that. Fucking beautiful.

He skips down the stairs and enjoys the slick, graceful sound his shoes make on the linoleum. Swishes down the corridor, coat-tails billowing. Alone, and still making the effort to look good.

Add that one to the repertoire, he thinks. Actually had him thinking I was surprised to see him there! Like I didn’t know. Like I’m not Doug Fucking Roper. Little tit.

It’s all coming together, he thinks. All the little pieces. And I can knit them into something beautiful. Documentary crew were creaming their knickers. Can edit out the insults. Some of them stung.

Flies in the ointment, though, sunbeam. Still got to find this witness. Can’t screw the trial. Can’t let the Chocolate Boy melt. You got a little physical with him in the interview and there could be repercussions. Don’t need that, he thinks. A little bit of reputation is one thing, but a blemish on the record could spoil things royally.

Pulls his phone from his pocket. Quick call to McAvoy, the rising star. Hope the cunt’s asleep, he thinks.

Answered on the sixth ring.

“Sergeant. It’s Roper. The girlfriend. Yeah, . Pick her up first thing. Wait until her brother leaves, though. I don’t want there to be a scene.”

Oh Doug, he thinks. You are a card.
