Leseprobe
Back in the cabin they started to talk about the obvious.

'They're looking for you everywhere, you know?' said Rohan.

'I know,' replied Rico.

'You're a bit of a hero, you know?' said Dean. Rico shook his head.

'No, you got that wrong. I'm no hero.'

'What are you saying?' said Rohan. 'You're the man, you're the one everyone's talking about. Terror Kid, that's what they're calling you, and everyone's scared of you.'

'"Terror Kid,"' Rico said, surprised.

'Yes. The most dangerous kid in the country, public enemy number one. If they get you you're going away for a long time, a very long time, but you're safe here. We have a plan.'

Rico raised his eyebrows and looked at the pair, his eyes darting from one to another.

'What plan?'

Rohan went and stood by the door; Dean went and sat right next to Rico and began to speak.

'We'll help you as much as we can but if you want to survive out here you're going to need some money. We haven't got much but we know where to get some.'

'I've got some money,' said Rico.

'How much?' asked Rohan.

Rico wasn't sure if he should tell them, but he had already said too much.

'About a hundred pounds.' Rohan laughed.

Dean continued to speak quietly and calmly.

'You can't survive out here on a hundred quid. You need more. We need more, and we're not even on the run. We have a plan to raise our financial status, but we need you.'

'What do you need me for?'

'You know how to make big bombs, and we need a little one, a little tiny baby one.' Rico jumped out of his seat.

'I don't make bombs!' he shouted. 'That wasn't me. Do you hear me? It wasn't me!' Dean was unmoved. 'So what you on the run for?'

'It's complicated, I can't explain now.'

'There's no need for you to explain. Sit down, and let me explain.' Rico sat down slowly and Dean continued.mehr
