He opened his eyes. ‘What happened?’
‘The bastards threw a brick. It hit you on the head and knocked you unconscious. An ambulance is on its way.’
‘I ducked.’
‘Not low enough.’
He sat up. ‘I’m all right.’
‘Yeah – right. I didn’t know you had a medical degree as well.’
‘We have a murder to investigate.’
‘No we don’t.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Some government people have arrived and put the place under quarantine. Nobody can go in or out.’
‘Why?’
‘They’re saying it’s a virus, but you know how those bastards lie. It could be the gateway to Hell for all we know.’
