Call connected at 10:36.
‘Timothy Dunlow.’
‘Hey, Dad.’
‘Why didn’t you call as soon as you got there?’
‘I couldn’t. Sorry. There was paperwork to do and they took my fingerprints. But they made sure I called you at the first possible time.’
‘What’s happening now?’
‘I think I’m going in a cell for a bit, while I wait for the solicitor.’
‘Gerard is on the way. He’ll be there within the hour.’
‘Okay. I feel—’
‘Is one of them with you now?’
‘A police officer? Yeah.’
‘Don’t let them see any weakness. Don’t let them see anything.’
‘Okay, Dad.’
‘And don’t tell them anything. Don’t let them trip you up. Any question you’re not sure how to answer, you look to Gerard first.’
‘I will.’
‘You haven’t done anything wrong. They won’t be able to charge you.’
‘I know. Thank you, Dad.’
‘For what?’
‘Believing in me.’
‘The biggest mistake you made was letting that girl onto the estate, but nothing that happened after has anything to do with you.’
