With Mr Dangerfield fully returned to his peace-loving, weed-rescuing, Earth-saving ­personality, Johnny took time out to have a peace treaty meeting with his older brother.

The two siblings sat awkwardly in the family lounge. Johnny twiddled his fingers and cast around for any excuse to get out of there. Finally, he took a deep breath.

‘Ian, I need to share something with you,’ he said. ‘A lot of things have happened to me in the last few days that have led me to appreciate how important my family is to me.’

Ian looked at him strangely.

‘Ah, I guess what I’m saying is that I will try not to annoy you as much as I have in the past.’

Ian remained silent.

Johnny pulled out a USB stick from his back pocket and handed to his brother. ‘As a gesture of peace and goodwill, and an appreciation of you surrendering my phone earlier, I’m returning the footage that I copied from your belt camera.’

Ian calmly put the USB drive on the table next to him.

‘Er, you know, that really icky footage we talked about,’ Johnny said, trying to fill the silence.

Ian stared into his younger brother’s eyes.

‘What footage?’ he said, and his eyes began to glow golden.
