"Having just said that you don't get involved in local or national politics, perhaps you can explain to me your meeting last Wednesday, with Mr Hussain who is the Member of Parliament for this area?" "I don't know what you are talking about" "Now then Errol, I could have put next month's wages as a bet that you would make a comment like that. Shall we try again, last Wednesday outside a school hall in Adam-Sham?" "Don't know what you are on about, I think it's time you F..... off" "I would prefer you didn't adopt that attitude Errol, because if you persist like that, I shall have blue lights flashing all round your house. Having told Control Room via this little radio in my hand, that I've been threatened, I might even throw in a comment to the effect that the guy had a knife in his hand. How does that grab you?" "You bastard" You maybe right Errol I don't remember my Father, but I do remember last Wednesday night. So which way do you want to play this game?"

“I might also tell them that you have threatened me with a knife.” “You bastard.” “You may be right. So how do you want to play this game?” This is part of a conversation between the head of the local drug squad and the trusted informant of another police department who appears to be floundering in the changing world of drugs, murder, illegal immigrants, and terrorists. Det. Sgt. Ron O’Neill, after answering a telephone call, is drawn into an enquiry that is career-changing for him.
