  Linda Lakin was attractive´there was no doubt about that。 A bath�察�a visit to the hairdresser's�察�and she would probably be classed as beautiful。 She was always at her best naked。 In a way she was like a drug´and he knew he was addicted to her。
  
  'All this time and you've never taken me 'ome to meet your folks。'
  
  'I don't like my home。 Or my folks。 My dad's a cunt。'
  
  'I've read 'is bloody newspaper。 D'you think it'll ever 'appen��'
  
  'What��'
  
  'Poison leakin' out and killin' us all。 Or p'raps an explosion。'
  
  'Naw。 It's a bee in the old man's bonnet。 I told you he's nuts。 The guys I work with would lynch him if they could。 They've e from all over the country�察�depressed areas�察�and now they've found jobs he's trying to take the bread out of their mouths。 Mine too。'
  
  'You could always work at 'is place on that newspaper。'
  
  'That'll be the day。 If they close down the nuclear station�察�I'll go on the dole。 I wouldn't mind that。 All the same�察�I'd hate to see him get his way。'
  
  'Do you 。 。 。 do you love me�察�Richard��'
  
  Always the same question。 Every night。
  
  'Of course I do。'
  
  'That's all that matters then。 Maybe one day we could get married�察�or live together�察�or something。'
  
  He groaned inwardly。
  
  'Maybe。'
  
  'Even though you know I was on the game up in Aberdeen��'
  
  'What the hell's that got to do with it��' he grabbed angrily for his shirt�察�and began pulling it over his head。 'We're all on the game in some way or other�察�whether it's sex or something else。 My boss is on the game�察�or rather the government is。 A prostitution of power。 Anyway�察�I like a woman who's been around a bit。 My sister's a whore。'
  
  'Get away��' A hoarse cackle of disbelief。
  
  'It's a fact。 This guy buys her clothes�察�drink�察�presents�察�meals out at expensive restaurants�察�and in return she lets him stuff her。 Where's the difference between you and her�察�eh��'
  
  Linda Lakin reached for another cigarette。 She felt good at his words。 On a par with these Coyles。 Perhaps not socially�察�but at least morally��
  
  Soon Richard was fully dressed。 Buttoning his denim jacket�察�he glanced towards the door。 His lust was spent�察�and it was time to be gone。
  
  'I wouldn't let anyone else 'ave it with me�察�honest。' She swung herself off the couch�察�and gripped him by the arm。 'What's 'appenin' tomorrow night��'
  
  'A few of us are going down to that transport place just off the motorway。' He resisted the temptation to push her aside。 'Bikers。 There's too many in this place now。 Used to be just us regulars。 Some of the bastards have got to be sorted out。 It's been on the cards for weeks now。'
  
  'I'd like to e with you。'
  
  'You might get hurt。'
  
  'So might you。'
  
  'No�察�there's too many of us。 We'll give the bastards something they won't forget in a hurry。 These things have to be attended to when a town gets too big。'
  
  'You're talkin' like your dad�察�now。' There was vicious´ness in her tone。 'Keep the place for the privileged few。'
  
  He kissed her without passion�察�descended the rickety flight of wooden stairs to the street below�察�and angrily kicked the Norton into life。 That bitch's last remark had cut deep。
  
  Hell�察�the last thing he would do would be to get like his dad。
  
  It was the first time for weeks that Coyle had not kissed Anne at least once before she brought him his cup of morning coffee。 He was obviously worried�察�and that worried her。 She wondered if he wanted to postpone their evening's date�察�and did not know how to tell her。 She took it out on the keys of her typewriter。
  
  At 10。15 the telephone rang。 She briefed Coyle on the internal line。
  
  'It's the union。' Her tone was formal�察�cold。
  
  A click of annoyance´but not directed at her。 She knew how he hated the union。 All unions。
  
  He was on the line for twenty minutes。 Then she heard the receiver slammed down�察�and he came out of his office。
  
  'Further proof that one man can't beat the system��' he spoke bitterly。
  
  'What's up now��'
  
  'The freedom of the press has been stifled。 Subtly�察�of course�察�but one can still read between the lines。 Friend Dyne appears to have enlisted the full support of the power worker's union�察�who in turn have sought the co´operation of our union。 Ross is 'the sleeper' here。 I wish to God I could get rid of him�察�but I can't。 There are others�察�too�察�of course。 Any articles relating to oxide reprocessing have to be union vetted。 Facts only�察�and those facts�察�in turn�察�have to be vetted by the nuclear authorities。 Dyne again。 Otherwise�察�they'll just close us down。 Ross will have the printers and typesetters out before their morning tea has a chance to go cold。'
  
  'Bastards��' She slipped a hand into his。 'I knew something was worrying you when you came in this morning。 You must have a little crystal ball hidden away somewhere。'
  
  'Yes��' he lied�察�thinking of Jane again。 'But in a way they're shutting the stable doors too late。' He laughed hollowly to boost his waning confidence。 'We got those petition forms printed and circulated before they had thought of plugging our machines。'
  
  'And we're still going out tonight��' That was the thought that had been worrying her most。
  
  'Of course��' he replied。 'Darling�察�we're going to enjoy ourselves as much as we can whilst there's still time。 God only knows what will happen�察�but there's a nuclear cloud mushrooming on the horizon。'
  
  
  
   Chapter 5
  
  November 5th。
  
  A group of ragged children were playing on a piece of waste´ground behind the latest demolition area at the north end of Craiglowrie。 Their numbers had swelled towards late afternoon�察�standing watching for the departure of the men working on a row of tumbledown terraced cottages。 Impatience�察�a few quarrelling。
  
  Dusk came earlier than usual today�察�mingling with the hint of fog that had been creeping into the valley all afternoon。 The whine and rumble of machinery ceased�察�cascading stone and brickwork lay strewn in an untidy range of miniature mountains。 Then silence�察�except for a scurrying of tiny feet as the juvenile force moved in�察�eagerly gathering smashed woodwork�察�carrying and dragging it back to die centre of the open space�察�piling it up in layers on a foundation of cardboard boxes。
  
  The bonfire was built just as night brought its mantle of darkness to blot out the unsightly pile of ragged lintels and skirting boards。 The bonfire was huge because there was ample wood。
  
  Then came the guy´a crazy caricature made from a Hessian sack stuffed with crumpled newspapers�察�legs and arms of rolled cardboard�察�with odd cast´off gloves and shoes for hands and feet。 No hat because there wasn't one to be found。 A handful of straw served as hair。
  
  The face was an uneven oval of white cardboard with features crayoned on in a dozen different shades by industrious hands。 Its expression seemed to change depending upon the angle it was viewed from�察�and how one's imagination reacted。 Mostly it scowled from narrowed eyes and a mouth curved downward at the corners。 One hated it automatically 。 。 。 couldn't wait to bum it� �From an inbuilt instinct to incinerate an object of fear� �Inhuman�察�alien。
  
  Hoisted aloft�察�the effigy was precariously tied in a sitting position。 Abuse came from all directions。 The fireworks were very few�察�just some sparklers to light up the scene�察�creating weird moving shadows as they spluttered and fizzed。
  
  Somebody struck a match。 A crackling of flames devoured the dry timber which spat a feeble protest。 Almost immediately leaping tongues of fire showered sparks high into the sky�察�belittling the puny sparklers。
  
  A movement�察�a sudden lurching of the whole structure。 It seemed to slip�察�settle again 。。。 as though the figure in the midst of the inferno had moved in a desperate attempt to escape��
  
  The face。 Oh God�察�that face��
  
  Shrill screams�察�the onlookers falling back�察�closing their ranks as though to seek protection from the glowering countenance。 The eyes bulged��'and narrowed again。 The nose was gone�察�burned to a black hole by a floating spark。 The mouth was open�察�lips moving。 Definitely moving�察�trying to speak��
  
  Words。 The children heard them�察�reverberating inside their heads。 Inprehensible mutterings as the eyes glowed fiercely�察�singling out each and every one of them。
  
  Fools�察�you would burn me yet again�察�even when your own hour of fiery destruction is nigh。 I shall be consumed by the fire which belongs to my master�察�but it will not destroy me。 I shall e again�察�more terrible than before� �And then you will scream as you burn。
  
  Another shifting of the pyre broke the hypnotic spell which held the terrified audience�察�a column of black smoke gushing up from an old motor tyre and temporarily hiding the awfulness of it all。 Nobody wanted to stay there any longer。
  
  They ran with breathless cries of terror�察�scattering in all directions�察�leaving the bonfire to burn itself out。 All through that windless night it glowed�察�a heap of smouldering ashes that still billowed its own warning when the demolition workers returned the following morning。 But they scarcely noticed it。
  
  The winter came and went。 Coyle had hoped for severe weather�察�heavy snowfalls which would drift in the north end of the valley and prevent work from going ahead on the new 'harvest process' plant。 Instead�察�the atmosphere remained mild and dry�察�with not even heavy rains to impede the labour´force。 Still more houses were being added to the untidy sprawling suburbs。
  
  Nothing had changed within the Coyle household。 Coyle still found ample excuses to be absent from home in the evenings without arousing Jane's suspicions。 Sarah's wardrobe was now filled to overflowing�察�and she had taken to wearing expensive jewellery well beyond the means of her modest ine。 Richard still went out every night�察�and Coyle was aware that his son had been involved in that massive and brutal brawl at the lorry´park of the transport cafe by the motorw
