章 51: Chapter 51

??Trick or treat!?? A group of three kids called out. The youngest, a little girl, was decked out in a witch??s costume, which looked about three sizes too large for her. The pointy hat she wore kept slipping down her face. The other two kids??both boys??wore whatever the male equivalent of a witch was. The children were accompanied by a rather bored looking older boy, whose only concession to the spirit of Halloween was an illuminated plastic pumpkin, which he held in his right hand. No doubt he??d been press ganged into the task by one of the kids?? parents.

??Err, I??d forgotten it was Halloween,?? Kevin said, wondering what he could give them. He didn??t think Joey would have any mini Mars bars or anything like that in the place.

??Who is it??? Kevin heard from further up the hall.

Shit! Kevin pushed the door until it was almost closed and whipped round to face his lover. To his relief, Joey had put on his dressing gown.

??It??s okay, it??s only some trick or treaters.??
