“I couldn’t get those words out of my head all that night. I could be The Man. Taking over. In charge. People listened to Armour. People stepped back to let him pass. I imagined myself in his place. Taking over. Ordering men around. Seeing them move aside when I approached. It was happening already. At school when I walked into the playground they would watch me. They would move to let me pass. Did I change then? Or had I already changed? I don’t know. But next day when I went to school I felt d...ifferent. Not alone any more. But apart. Like Armour said – when you’re The Man, you’ve got to keep friends at arm’s length. Not let anyone get too close. I liked the way I felt that day. I was to meet Nelis the next day. Only this time it was to be in town, in full view of everyone. It was to look like a chance meeting – an accident. I was going to bump into him in Tesco’s. And this time it was me who arranged it all. A simple text message to Nelis’s mobile. 4PM TUESDAY. TESCOS.MoreLessRead More Read Less
