Why was Callum’s dozy deputy, Jamie West, standing by me in the line-up for afternoon school? ‘What’s in the bag, Keener?’ I tightened my hand round the bunched up plastic. How come I’d ended up with the loot? ‘Get back in your kennel,’ said Fifty. ‘I’m not a dog,’ said Jamie. ‘Why do you go around on the end of Callum’s lead then?’ I wished Fifty would shut up. It was my sweaty hand that was holding the bag of guns! Jonno was in the loo so it was only the two of us. We were no match for Jamie. If he grabbed the bag we were finished. Or were we? ‘Hey Jamie,’ shouted Bee, running across the playground. ‘You don’t mind if I push in, do you?’ She elbowed her way past him. ‘Do you want something?’ she asked him. He was going to answer but she interrupted before he got the first word out.
