Theyâd arranged for Wendy to go into the coffee shop a minute or so ahead of Jack, and to grab a drink and sit at another table â just in case. As Culverhouse entered the café, he noticed the only black man in the room was sitting towards the back, looking nervous.
He strode over and stopped at the table. âYou my date for the evening?â
âIf youâre the guy in charge, yeah,â the man said, standing up to shake his hand.
âJack Culverhouse.â
âUh, Ty.â
âTy? Whatâs that short for? Bear in mind Iâm going to need to know your full name at some point anyway.â
The man sat back down and wrung his hands. Culverhouse sat down opposite him.
âDo you want a coffee or something?â Tyrone asked.
âNope.â
âWhat about tea?â
âNo. I donât want anything other than for you to tell me what this is about.â
Tyrone nodded. âRight. I just dunno where to start, you know? It ainât easy. All I know is something ainât right.â
Culverhouse rolled his eyes. âLots of things âainât rightâ. It âainât rightâ that thereâs war and suffering in the world. It âainât rightâ that I canât get the foil lid off a Pot Noodle without leaving a little bit stuck the rim. It âainât rightâ that Iâm sitting here when I should be busy running a major investigation.â
âThatâs what I wanted to talk to you about,â Tyrone said, leaning forward.
âGo on.â
Tyrone took a deep breath before speaking. âI know someone torched Freddie Gallowayâs place and I know the sorts of people he got involved with. Listen. If I can help you, the only way I can do that is if I admit to some bad stuff. Stuff Iâve put a long way behind me. I donât wanna end up being questioned or charged or anything.â
âWhat sort of âstuffâ are we talking about?â Culverhouse asked, keen not to commit to anything.
âNot as bad as torching a blokeâs house and killing him, if thatâs what you mean.â
Culverhouse sat back in his chair and crossed his arms. âListen, if youâve got information that you think might help, itâd be a good idea to tell me. If itâs information that could change the investigation, and you donât tell me, you could be perverting the course of justice.â
âI know... It just ainât that easy. Iâm exposed big time here.â
Culverhouse rolled his eyes again. âAlright. Letâs look at this from another angle. What would you say if this wasnât you sitting here, but a friend of yours? Say that friend had information that could help.â
âHe should help,â Tyrone said. âItâd be the right thing to do.â
âWell there you go, then.â
âBut it ainât easy for him, yâknow?â
âYeah, I know. Youâve told me three times. What do you reckon the bad stuff is that this... mate... of yours might not want to admit to?â
Tyrone shuffled uncomfortable in his seat. âYou wired?â
âNo. Pat me down if you like.â
Tyrone thought for a moment, then shook his head. âLetâs say, this friend of mine, maybe, like, he was involved in a gang that did an armed robbery or something.
