Brothers. Our work is nearly done. We have avenged the wrongs bestowed upon us. Now we face the greatest challenge of all. The Sheriff’s men are hunting for us. We must be stealthy and tread warily on our righteous path to the light. We are summoned to Temple on the full moon to fight for our liberty. We must meet the Heathen army on our chosen battleground. To ensure we weaken their numbers we must take one . . .

‘It’s not finished,’ said Paterson.

‘Well, that sounds like an admission of guilt to me. What’s all this bollocks about sheriffs? We ain’t gotta go after a bunch of cowboys now, ’ave we?’

‘No. Back in the day, a sheriff was a lawman in this country too.’

‘So, you reckon ’e means us?’

Paterson nodded. ‘I do indeed. Looks like they got wind that we were looking for them.’

Clocks squinted at the screen. ‘An’ what’s this about ’eathen warriors? Who’s that then?’

‘That’s us, mate. All of us. The police.’

‘Oh. So, we’re a couple of ’eathens then?’

‘Yeah. I imagine a few people think so. It must be obvious.’ Paterson grinned at him.

‘Okay, good. I just don’t wanna be called summing I’m not.’

Paterson read from the screen again quietly to himself. ‘Work is nearly done.’ He repeated the sentence. ‘Work is nearly done. Nearly done. Okay. Not yet finished, maybe?’

We have avenged the wrongs bestowed upon us.

‘We have avenged. We have avenged. Implies that they’ve finished what they set out to do.’

Now we face the greatest challenge of all. The Sheriff’s men are hunting for us. Him and John.

We must be stealthy and tread warily on our righteous path to the light — whatever that meant.

‘We are summoned to Temple on the full moon to fight for our liberty, blah, blah . . .’

We must bring the heathen warriors to our chosen battleground.

‘Fight for our liberty . . . heathen warriors . . . chosen battleground. Okay, they’re gonna let us know where and when this all goes down.’

To ensure we weaken their numbers we must take one . . .

‘Weaken their numbers . . . take one . . .’ Paterson tapped the screen with his finger. ‘What’d you think that means, Clocksy?’

Clocks shrugged. ‘Dunno, mate. Maybe they’re planning on grabbing one of us. Use whoever it is as an ’ostage to ensure they get their sticky little mitts on the other one.’

‘Yeah, maybe. In which case, we stick even closer together from now on.’

‘Agreed,’ said Clocks.

‘Let’s get him back to the nick. I’ll get Yorkshire to wait with him until the van arrives. The rest of us are going over to Anderson’s house. Now.’
