I used the chain of my handcuffs to try and push 55 Apple’s choking fingers away from my neck. Fatty jumped out of the car still shouting ‘whoa’ at Apple like he was trying to stop a stampeding horse, and opened the passenger door. He dragged the out-of-control PC from the car. ‘Leave it out, Paul,’ he said. ‘He’s not worth it. ’ ‘That’s a good idea,’ I said, rubbing my sore throat. They got back into the car. Apple was breathing heavily, panting, a sprinter after the race. Snorting a little too, like he was using his breath to hold back his anger.
Fatty was desperately trying to placate his mate. Apple shot him a look that said ‘don’t be so fucking naive’. ’ Fatty tried again. ’ Apple’s interruption was a bit too hasty. He tried to retreat. Obviously hadn’t meant to snap like that. ‘No, it’s all right, don’t bother. I ain’t even sure I had it on. ’ Apple dragged Fatty over to one side by the sleeve, just out of my earshot. He whispered urgently to him. I couldn’t quite hear what he said, but I got the impression that if the Sarge heard about Apple’s expensive watch he might be asking a few questions.
It’s the best way to take out a guy with a long weapon. The power of the bat comes from the swing, and to get a good swing there needs to be a little retraction. But that makes it a slow weapon and your one chance at keeping your head attached to your shoulders is to enter his space when the weapon is at its furthest retraction. It all happens in a second so there is no time for hesitation. It’s a spontaneous thing. You can’t really plan it, you either go or you don’t, and if you don’t then your head is dead.
