Feeling himself about to falter, Joey did his best to stop himself crying. ‘You always said that shooting lesson would come in handy one day, didn’t ya?’ he joked tearfully.

Eddie ruffled Joey’s blonde hair then, with the arm that wasn’t broken, held his son more tightly than he’d ever held him in the past. ‘I love you, boy, and I’m so bloody proud of you.’

‘I love you too, Dad, but I’m not very proud of myself at the moment,’ Joey said honestly.

Eddie tilted Joey’s chin upwards, so he could look him in the eyes. ‘Do you wanna know why you did what you did today?’

Joey nodded. He knew why he had done what he had deep down, but he could never tell his father that Frankie had known about his Grandad Harry’s death. That would always have to remain a secret between the two of them, as Joey knew that his father would go apeshit if he ever found that out.

Eddie stared at his son intensely. ‘You might have been a softie as a child and then turned all gay on me, but you can never change the stock you were reared from. What’s bred in the bone will one day come out in the flesh, Joey, and you proved that today, boy.’

Joey was confused. ‘And what is that supposed to mean? That I killed Jed and Jimmy just ’cause I’m a Mitchell?’

With immense pride in his eyes, Eddie smiled. ‘No, Joey. You didn’t kill them just because you’re a fucking Mitchell. You killed them because you are Eddie Mitchell’s son.’
