This Thing of Darkness
“Worked sensibly, worked safely.
He bought a wristwatch from a place in London for fifty quid. A thing that looks and functions just like a regular watch, but one that shoots photos and videos in 1280 by 960 pixel resolution.
At the docks, he strolled ship to ship, getting into conversations, asking for work. The Isobel Baker wasn’t the first ship he stopped at, nor was it the last.
‘Getting pictures of the stern was easy. I just walked along the dockside and shot video. Getting a view of the de...ck fixings was harder. They stopped me on the gangway, about halfway up, but I did what I could. I don’t think it’s too bad.’ We spend the evening at his house, eating his version of spaghetti bolognese and examining his booty. We clip the best stills, delete any junk footage, send the good stuff over to Lowe.
Penry asks me about Watkins. Whether our data will give her enough to act.
I shrug. I don’t know.
He says, ‘There’s a bed and breakfast place on Lower Hill Street. It’s got rooms.’ I look at the place on Google Maps.MoreLess
