  ‘Alex and Magnus are in your apartment, attempting to discover the whereabouts of some amphetamine sulphate.’

  ‘You mean the speed? Why do they need that? And what are they doing in my flat!?’

  ‘I’m not sure... it’s not for Dai, but somehow it is linked. All I know is that Alex believes it to be important. Do you know where it is?’

  ‘They’ll never find it.’

  ‘Where is it?’

  ‘It’s in the bedroom, in a false shoe heel!’

  South considered this news. ‘Why do you have a false shoe heel?’

  ‘I got the shoes from a joke shop.’

  ‘I see. Why did you put the sulphate there?’

  ‘I needed to find a use for the shoes.’

  South paused and looked over at her dog.

  ‘Woof.’ Brock appeared to go into a trance as he stared at my laptop screen.

  ‘What’s he doing?’ I asked. ‘Is this going to trigger another gorilla?’

  ‘He’s calling in help. His activities should fly under the radar of SWISH.’

  Brock snapped out of his trance and wagged his tail: ‘Woof.’

  ‘It is done, they have found the amphetamine.’
