What we have here is an outtake from my nascent detective novel about Blain, who happens to be one of the good guys. Finding himself being tailed around his patch (Norwich as it happens) he has lured the inept tail into the toilets of a pub, and threatened him sufficiently (but non-violently) to reveal the name of the person who organised the tail. Thisis dedicated to Whiplash Mac Nicol, who keeps nagging me about Blain.
