At Nielson’s Cellar, Scottie McBain sat back in his chair with his feet up on the desk. He looked across at the sorry figure in front of him. Damien Potts was a mess. He hadn’t slept and his eyes had the haunted look of a desperate man. His long hair was unwashed and tangled.

‘Scottie, you need to help me,’ Potts pleaded.

‘What exactly has Fleming got on you?’ McBain asked.

‘He knows I can’t prove I was at home. I should have thought of a better alibi.’ His feet were tapping on the floor and his eyes twitched nervously.

‘And that’s it?’

‘I think so.’

‘And you think disappearing will help? It smells of guilt, for fuck’s sake. You go on the run and as sure as hell, they’ll nail you.’

‘If they catch me. You’ve got contacts, Scottie, people who owe you a favour. London’s a big place. I could disappear here for a few months then sneak out of the country.’

McBain thought for a moment, swung his feet back onto the floor, and leaned across the desk. ‘Okay, I think I can help, but I’ll need some of that drugs money you’ve got stashed away. These things don’t come cheap.’
