polis. They were all about names.
    Which was why he was pressing the fives and ones. Getting through to Crimestoppers .
    He waited for the line to pick up, then he said, "There was a shooting on the Leam . The Leam Lane estate. Outside The Admiral. This afternoon. The gun's with a gadgie I know. I reckon him or one of his mates might've had something to do with it."
    When Richie was asked for an address, he gave it. Then he hung up, carried on down the street and chucked the mobile into the first bin that hadn't been torn off its post.
    He kept walking, the blood going out of his legs. The energy too. So when he saw a bench up ahead, he eased onto it. Let his head roll back and he looked up at the sky. He thought about Becka and the baby. He thought about Goose and Noel and the police.
    Then he watched the stars until they disappeared to black.
