with her light on. She ought to close her curtains. I mean, she may as well stand in the middle of the street and do it.”
    It was perving, sure it was. Kevin knew that it was bad to watch, and he ought to be ashamed of himself, but try telling his hormones that. Those bastards had no moral centre, and they certainly had no conscience, and just like everything else, they were a lot stronger than his self control.
    He picked up the two pieces of the soldier, silently breathing a sigh of relief when Thom threw the other soldier across the floor. He wouldn’t be able to repair this one, the damage was too extensive, but he still might be able to use him. Kevin was seriously thinking of building up a diorama, a snapshot of an urban battle. He could use him in that, run over by a tank or something. First though, he needed to get this intruder out of his bedroom before he destroyed anything else.
    “Wait on, Thom. Are you saying that you wouldn’t look?”
    “Of course, I fucking would,” Thom replied. “But you have those binoculars so it’s perving, innit!”
    Kevin sighed.
    “Now, if it was Andrea herself stripping off in that bedroom window, or your lovely sister, then I’d watch through your binoculars,” Thom went on, grinning. “Fuck that, no, if they were up for showing off their body to any passing stranger, then I’d just march into that house and give them a good servicing.”
    Kevin just couldn’t understand why all the boys around the estate drooled over his bitch of a sister. As far as he was concerned, she was a right ugly dog with a horrible personality.
    Thom gave that bayonet one last look before he climbed off the bed. “So, what do we do now? I bet you don’t have any beer in the house or any fags.”
    Kevin knew exactly what he wanted to do, Thom had to leave. How he was going to accomplish that feat was beyond him though. Maybe he’d just get bored and leave anyway.
    “Are you going to ask your mum for some aspirin or what?”
    Kevin silently groaned at the sound of the front door slamming shut. This did not bode well.
    He guessed that his loving sister had just returned from wherever the hell she’d gone, a few hours earlier than he had expected. Her coming back so early could only mean that somebody had upset the hard-faced bitch. That meant she’d take out all her frustrations on her little brother.
    “Whoa!” gasped Thom. “What the fuck is going on out there? Did you see that?” He pushed past Kevin and pressed his face against the glass.
    Kevin spun around, casting aside his worry over what his sister would do to him and gazed through the window. The night sky was lit up like a Christmas tree. There were lights from cop cars everywhere. He opened the window and peered out.
    “What can you see? Has anyone been killed?”
    Kevin shook his head. He didn’t think that any of the police cars were inside the estate. It looked like they were around the perimeter. He wondered if a robbery was taking place. There were lots of shops just beyond the estates, including a couple of banks, so it was a possibility.
    “I bet you that some fuckers been murdered. That’s the only reason why there’ll be so many pigs crawling around.”
    Kevin was almost about to suggest that his notion of a robbery was a bit more realistic when he saw the meathead’s shining eyes. This little thug really did want to hear about a gruesome murder. That gave him a good idea. It might even get the boy out of his bedroom. He took the binoculars out of their case. “Why don’t we go have a look then, Thom?”
    The big lad smiled, “Now that sounds like a good plan to me. Are those things any good?”
    Kevin handed them over, “They are the best money can buy. Look, focus in on that house over the road. The one with the high brick fence around it. You can even count the petals on the roses with those beauties.”
    Thom kneeled down and brought the glasses up to his face. After a moment he dropped them onto the
