Fourth Horseman
“He was probably the last person in the world who would have done that.
I realized that on the first day he came into the lab. It was a Friday evening after school, and one of the first really sunny days of the summer. I showed him around the complex and ended up giving him and Alex a lesson in rodent handling. Alex was keen and was soon up to his elbow in curious squirrels. Javed hung back, reluctant. Eventually I persuaded him to put his arm into one of the cages, but the instant the first bab...y touched his hand he snatched it violently away and slammed the wire door closed.
‘No way,’ he said, almost running over to the sink to wash his hands. ‘I don’t like them. They are too much like rats.’ He wasn’t keen on animals of any description. He was getting used to Randall, but to begin with he had been very nervous of him and even now, if Randall ran to greet him too enthusiastically he would instinctively throw up his hands and back away. When he was bowling during our cricket matches he would keep a rag in his back pocket for wiping the drool off the ball.MoreLess
