Coke turned off the main road. He wanted to get rid of the police car as soon as
possible. The army often used the area for manoeuvres and Coke remembered it from the
days when he was a soldier. He knew there was a village down a side road. Just before he
got to it. he stopped and left the car in a Held. Then he walked into the village itself. He
wanted something and he was sure he could find it here.
In his apartment in London, a well-dressed man named Eric Masters turned on the
radio and listened. The news was still bad. Coke was still free, the announcer said.
Masters looked very frightened. He turned off the radio suddenly and picked up the
phone.
