I don’t like this place.
I’m not frightened.
I don’t like it, that’s all.
Why have we got to be here? It’s cold and it smells.
I’m very thirsty actually. If you gave me something to drink it might be best. We’re always allowed to have a drink at school when we want, water anyway, and not anything to eat but we can have a drink when we like. It’s important for people to drink, they get ill if they don’t drink.
Aren’t you thirsty?
If I could have a drink then I’d tell them when they come that you gave it to me, and that would be a good thing for you.
They will come.
Yes they will.
They’re clever and they have tracking devices and they’ll soon use those to find me and then they’ll come. QED.
Don’t you know what QED is?
When will we go back?
I don’t like it here.
I’d like to see my mummy. It’s dark, isn’t it, so that means Daddy will be home and then they’ll come for me together. They might bring my sister. They probably would bring my sister.
My sister is eleven and she’ll soon be twelve so they would bring her. Yes, they definitely would bring her.
I don’t like it here very much.
Why don’t you say anything? If you said your name I’d like it better being with you. I don’t really like it but I’d like it just a bit.
If you said your name.
Di Ronco’s father was a famous pop star. He was in a world-famous rock band.
He’s ace.
Di Ronco’s dad.
He makes us laugh.
Once we wet ourselves with laughing.
I don’t really like it here.
But they will be coming. I think I can hear them actually. I can hear a car coming.
Did you hear that car?
