      ‘Know his son, Jack?’

      ‘Who?’

      Jo repeated the question louder as the old fella lit a Dunstan. Jo took the one he offered to her.

      ‘Terrible business,’ he said before coughing.

      ‘What was?’

      ‘Pardon?’

      ‘What was a terrible business?’

      ‘They moved here ’94. Day after Blair got elected.’ The old man shook his head, like it was more than the neighbourhood that was going to the dogs.

      ‘Blair was elected in ’97,’ said Jo.

      ‘Leader of the Labour Party, not the Government, sweet cheeks. Dawning of a new era. New money, you know. You can always tell by the plants.’

      ‘The plants?’

      ‘Got no idea, these young ones.’

      I glanced out of the kitchen window. The back garden was like a field – at the far end were so many trees it looked like a wood and made it impossible to see where the garden actually ended.

      ‘You seen Jack lately?’ asked Jo, her tone nice and conversational.

      ‘Who?’

      ‘Jack Wilkins. The son.’

      ‘Don’t get out much these days. Too much to do in here.’ He waved an arm around as if he was showing us a load of unfinished projects. He poured himself a slug of whisky into a glass, three-fingers deep. For a moment I envied him. The guy was rich and old. What did he have left to fear? Might as well get pissed from the moment he woke up till the moment he collapsed.

      ‘What about Mr Wilkins?’ said Jo.

      ‘Nick Nickerless, I call him. Ladies’ man.’ He drank from his glass without flinching. ‘Women love him. God alone knows why.’

      For a moment I thought he was going to cry, but instead, he fell backwards into the only comfy-looking chair in the room. Another cat squawked and made a beeline for the door. ‘Young whippersnapper. I’ve told him a thing a two, in my time. You mark my words.’
