The Scouting Book for Boys Page #4

- Putting the...

- know. Sorry.

- It's not a game, David.

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

It's f***ing cold,

I've got no food, no clothes,

and you make me think

you're not coming back.

- It's not fair.

- I'm sorry.

Tried leaving.

Walked up the beach.

Was thinking about going and...

this family come and spread out a mat

and they had... sandwiches.

Hid from them.

Hid in the rocks from them,

afraid to let them see me.

- How p*ssy is that?

- No, it's not p*ssy.

You're doing it for

your kid, aren't you?

- Too right am.

- thought that...

When it's...

could be like an uncle or something.

Yeah.

Uncle David. Definitely!

And when I'm having it,

want you waiting outside.

Steve will be inside,

doing the breathing with me

and when it's born, I'll be like,

"Get David in to meet his nephew. "

- Did you bring me some food?

- did better than that.

Oh, my God!

Some of this is really nice stuff.

- How did you get it?

- How do you think? Nicked it.

"2 Atoms In A Molecule"

This is really nice stuff!

This is like the best thing ever.

# Last night had a dream

# we were inseparably entwined

# Like a piece of rope

# made out of two pieces of vine

# Held together holding each other

# with no one else in mind

# Like two atoms in a molecule

# inseparably combined

# If love is just a game

# Then how come it's no fun?

# If love is just a game

# How come I've never won?

# Guess maybe it's possible

# might be playing it wrong

That's why every time roll the dice

always come undone...

Did you get much?

Oh, that's clever. like that.

- Could stay.

- What?

You've got clothes to last you now.

Can find the food.

It's sh*t out there without you.

- Could stay.

- No.

Maybe later but for now you can't.

want you to give Steve this.

What?

Oh.

You're not telling him where we are?

If give him this, he'll know...

What does it matter if he does?

He can keep secrets.

- No, he can't.

- need him to know I'm OK.

He must be worried wild. Just...

give him that and get a reply back, OK?

- Simple.

- OK.

- Promise?

- Promise.

Thanks.

You'll get plenty of other girls.

You know that, don't you?

You're quite good-looking

when you brush your hair.

Dance with me.

Show me your moves.

- I'll get you in training.

- No.

Put your arms round my waist.

We'll do proper dancing.

Oh, hello!

Someone's got a stiff y and it ain't me!

- No.

- You have.

Ow, d*ckhead!

- I've cut myself.

- didn't have a...

What does it matter?

There's ego points for me in stiffies.

If this scars, I'll kill you.

My legs are my best feature.

My skirt's ruined.

At least you got me clothes

for Christmas.

Right, let's eat.

Snap ready, would you?

We're eating.

Aah, that's boiling. Burnt my finger.

We'll wait for it to cool down, yeah?

Know you're guilty.

Open the f***ing door.

Can wait all f***ing night.

Steve?

Steve?

Know you're in there,

you f***ing bastard. Open the door.

Eighteen more.

- Steve!

- Sh*t.

Sh*t!

That guy, Steve, got away, then?

Saw him just now

with that Emily on his bike.

You couldn't even get that right.

- Are you not going to get that?

- No.

No luck finding her then?

They got all emotional about serving me

so just drank out here instead.

OK.

Said some dumb stuff

the night she left.

She said dumber, but...

You know Ems.

She thinks she's all grown up.

But she ain't.

Not in the way she thinks she is or...

wish hadn't said dumb...

Oh, she would love that.

You should put me on tape,

me saying that.

She would laugh at that.

Love her laugh.

Miss her, you know.

Feel like a f***ing dog sh*t,

without a dog.

- I'd better go.

- David.

You just keep looking now, OK?

You just keep looking.

You bastard!

Where is she?

He's got our daughter, Patrick!

Our daughter.

Know...

You're getting your trousers wet.

You're that girl's mate, right?

- The missing one.

- No.

Aren't you?

You look his spitting image.

Must have one of those faces.

Yeah, must.

- Well, hope they find her.

- Just down here on holiday.

Us too, aren't we, Daisy?

Aren't we?

- Do you want to hold her?

- No.

- She likes strangers.

- I'm OK.

- I'll make sure you don't drop her.

- No, I'm all right.

Never mind. Shall we go for a swim?

We need you now.

Press conference.

She's hurt but she is alive.

- What?

- Found a scrap of material.

Blood. On his bike.

And we age-matched it.

It is less than 12 hours old.

knew it. knew it!

We're going to step up the search.

We're going to find her, Davey.

Anyone free,

any holiday-makers, any residents,

we need your help now.

This is now a matter

of finding a child in danger.

Don't think need David here

to tell you what this case means.

This is a chance,

a real chance

to make a difference in our community,

to save a child.

Take the bag, seal the top.

Radio Norfolk.

A few words about the missing girl?

Very encouraging.

Great finds.

And it's only been hours, not days.

You can't see anything? No?

The neighboring force

is sending some troops.

Extra constables

and some advisers for...

For me.

That was quite a surprise,

that phone call.

And... we're going

to stretch the search,

down the coastline,

up to the farms around Harrelswick,

if the advisers agree to it.

We're going to find her, David.

What was that?

Ohh!

Who did this?

Whoever did this...?

Oh, he weren't inside.

But if he was, who cares?

No, no, no, no. This van...

This is not the way we do things.

Steve knows.

Steve f***ing knows.

And he needs to know

that we'll do anything to find her.

Take a picture of his burning shithole,

and let the f***er know

we mean business.

Right, arrest her.

What? F*** off!

F*** off!

Am arresting you on suspicion of

causing criminal damage and arson.

You arrest me?

You couldn't arrest a f***ing chicken!

Ow!

Know what you could do?

Shave off that stupid f***ing mustache!

- You can't light fires now, OK?

- When can?

Don't think ever.

What? Are you going

to get me a heater?

Just stay in your bag.

That's warm.

- I'm not a f***ing bag lady.

- We just need to be more careful.

- Did you get his note?

- What?

Steve.

- You gave him my letter, right?

- Yeah.

- So where's his note back?

- Um, he didn't...

He... gave you this.

- He gave you this?

- He said that was better than a note.

Said he wants you to wear it,

to make you proper, you know

- It's a bit cheap, even for him.

- Is it?

Did he try and get it out you?

Where we were?

No, he was OK.

He got WW...

- You didn't tell him.

- 'Course did.

David, I've known you too long.

And him.

He didn't buy this cheap sh*t for me.

He... He did.

You fibbing little f***.

What? You want

to keep me for yourself?

No. You're...

Sh*t. You do, don't you?

- He got you a ring.

- You can't keep me here, you know.

- Don't want to be by myself any more.

- You're not, you've got me.

You don't count!

Want a letter from him David, OK?

Otherwise I'm leaving

and I'm taking my chances.

Count. do. count.
