Simeon grasped Chris gently but firmly by the hand and took him for a walk in the garden to sober up after last night's fiasco. This wasn't the first time Bish had gone on a bender but it was almost as bad as that time he'd been caught inappropriately messaging teenage girls.

Bishop was tired. His eyes were moist and he was sure they were red, at least they were from the inside looking out. He reeked of stale booze and regret.

"I can't believe Don McGlashan called me a dickhead", he sniffed.

Brown shuffled awkwardly. "Don't look over there", he warned. "There's a Maori flag which might trigger you again."
