The police officer grunts, turns and slams the door on his way out.
“Bravo,” I cheer. “Another pawn at our local nick. Do you want an extra copy of the file so you can watch your cowardly performance?”
Burlington swivels in his chair and looks up at the camera, sweaty head gleaming under the harsh fluorescent lighting. “Yes, very funny. I don’t think we should recruit any new officers for some time. If they find out about each other, they could team up against us.”
He’s high on his success and has forgotten his place, not to mention he’s talking drivel.
“I’ll be the judge of that,” I say. “Do you know where I can buy a large-screen TV for my den? I’m talking massive, the money-no-object kind of thing.”
“Of course not. I’m a solicitor, not a sales assistant.”
It must be the adrenaline messing with his head. “I know exactly what you are, and you’d best not forget it,” I remind him.
“I’m sorry, Mr Windal. I didn’t mean ...”
“Get back to me about the TV within an hour.” I hang up the connection, tear off the headset and throw it to one side.
I lie back on the sofa and consider the dead body a few feet behind me.

If you’d like to know a bit about me first:
I am a man whose goal in life is to discover my goal in life. I live with my wife, who keeps my dream alive and my stomach tight against my trousers; my son, a dreamer just like me; and a dog who receives fuss like he’s the one doing the favour.
