‘Anyone?’ I scan their faces. ‘Does anyone know anything about this photo?’
‘I’m sorry.’ Mason places his hand on my elbow and guides me to my feet. ‘But I think you should leave.’

Jackdaw44: So last night was fun.
ICE9: I fucking hate you. I’m never doing that again.
Jackdaw44: Yes, you are.
ICE9: I knew you had backups of the photos. I’m not an idiot.
Jackdaw44: I’ve got screenshots of our Snapchat conversations too, including the one where you said how much you enjoyed sucking my cock.
ICE9: And I’ve got a photo of your erect dick.
Jackdaw44: And?
ICE9: The photo includes your face.
Jackdaw44: So?
ICE9: If you try and blackmail me again I’ll send it to all your mates and post it on your Facebook page.
Jackdaw44: Got the numbers for my mates, have you? And if you post on my FB page it’ll have your name attached. And you can’t post to my page unless you’re a friend.
ICE9: I’ll find a way.
Jackdaw44: Cool.
ICE9: You’re calling my bluff.
Jackdaw44: Am I? Or maybe I don’t give a shit that you’ve got a photo of me and my massive cock. It would prove Liv’s a fucking liar for one.
ICE9: You’d be humiliated if I made this photo public.
Jackdaw44: Would I? Kids my age don’t give a shit about that kind of thing, not if they’re well hung. Look up Dappy, look up Arg from TOWIE, that bloke from Made in Chelsea. It’s not a big deal. But YOUR photos on the other hand … shit would hit the fan and then some.
ICE9: I’m not doing what we did last night again.
Jackdaw44: I don’t want you to do that again. It was a bit of a disappointment if I’m honest.
ICE9: Then what do you want?
Jackdaw44: Nothing you haven’t done before.
ICE9: Sex.
Jackdaw44: Something else.
ICE9: Like what?
Jackdaw44: Oh, the suspense! Beg and I’ll tell you.
Jackdaw44: Still waiting for the begging …
ICE9: I don’t know what kind of twisted game you’re playing but it stops now.
Jackdaw44: Your call. Oh, is that the sound of photos whooshing out of my phone I hear?
ICE9: Do it. I don’t care any more.
Jackdaw44: Now who’s bluffing?
ICE9: Do it.
Jackdaw44: You’ll lose everything.
ICE9: Do it.
Jackdaw44: Hope you enjoy jail.
ICE9: What?
Jackdaw44: I’m 15, remember?
ICE9: And?
Jackdaw44: You’re over 18. That makes you a paedophile.
ICE9: Don’t be fucking stupid.
Jackdaw44: You slept with someone under 16. PAEDOPHILE.
ICE9: You started this.
Jackdaw44: Did I? You were the one that kissed me. I’ll tell the police you groomed me.
ICE9: They’ll laugh you out of the police station.
Jackdaw44: Not if I say you raped me.
ICE9: They won’t believe you.
