- Acknowledgements
- THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING
- – Job number one – find Troy Ealing and Liberty Jackman.
- – Onerous but necessary: next job – keep them alive just long enough to ensure I get money from Tobias Durbridge.
- – No mercy. Dispose of Troy and Liberty and get rid of any and all evidence that I had anything to do with them reaching their expiry dates.
- – No slip-ups. Disappear to somewhere lush where no one will find me.
- – Yay for me! Live in comfort and harmony with my conscience and, more importantly, my bank account for the rest of my days.
Now that was a plan I could definitely live with. First things first. Find Troy and Liberty.

Prop use skyrocketing among Crosses. Juma Diniti, Health Secretary, calls for a ‘whole-health approach’ to solving drugs crisis
Figures released by the National Public Health Authority (NPHA) revealed a significant rise in the number of Crosses addicted to Prop. The synthetic drug has long been a scourge within Nought communities, but there has been a sharp rise in its use among the rest of the population of Albion.
Juma Diniti, Health Secretary, stated that the government had to employ a ‘whole-health approach’ to tackling the drugs crisis. ‘This government is committed to rolling out more drugs prevention programmes across our schools nationwide and the building of many more rehabilitation centres. We will also be working tirelessly to hunt down and bring to justice those involved in the manufacture and distribution of this evil drug. Prop ruins lives and families. We in the government need to fight fire with fire.’
Sean Laverty, director of Abbey Rehab Centres, said that the government have been slow beyond belief in tackling the serious problem of Prop addiction in this country. ‘Funny how, when Prop was seen as a mainly Nought problem, the government’s rhetoric was all about punishment and prison. Nought kids on Prop – lock them away. Nought men and women on Prop – send them to prison. Nought families and communities devastated – don’t do drugs then. But, when the Prop problem begins to spill over into Cross communities, then it’s a different story altogether. Cross kids on Prop? Send them to hospital and juvenile rehabilitation centres. Cross men and women on Prop? Send them to rehab and spend money to help them get their lives back on track. Cross families and communities devastated? Track down and crack down on Prop drug manufacturers and dealers. We have been begging the government for years to take this problem seriously. If they had listened, Prop use and abuse wouldn’t be sweeping through the country at the rate it is now.’
