Psychosis Page #2

Well, I feel,

now Susan and I are here,

she's going to find all the inspiration

she needs to get it finished.

Good.

We wouldn't want Susan

to go through another episode,

now, would we?

It's all over now, Charles.

Here we go.

Fantastic.

It's nice and hot.

- Help yourself.

- Thank you.

Milk, Charles?

- Yes, please.

What's wrong?

There's a kid out there

kicking a ball.

That's weird.

- He's gone.

- Boys will be boys.

Rogues. I was one myself.

It's no big deal, Susan.

Now, don't forget,

our London office will be up

and running in a week,

so don't be a stranger.

Oh, you bet.

And, David, it's great to meet you

properly this time.

You, too, Charles,

and thank you for driving

all the way out here.

For Transatlantic Publishing's

best-selling crime author,

no distance at all.

Now, you take care.

We'll speak soon, all right?

Okay, bye.

Instant hot water!

At least the plumber

knew what he was doing.

Sh*t.

Did you blow a fuse?

Yeah.

I'll go down and fix it.

Do you even know

where the fuse box is?

Yes.

Okay.

The lights...

I can hear those mice again.

Oh, good, okay.

So, who's a genius, then?

Not the plumber, that's for sure.

Why?

The water was red.

Ah, it's rust.

Hey, kid!

Susan!

Susan, what's happened?

What's wrong?

There's a man.

He's after me.

What man? Where?

What happened?

- There's a man, and he was -

- Listen, go inside.

He was f***ing this girl

in the woods,

and then he came after me.

Look, go in the house,

lock the door,

I'm going to see

if I can find him.

No! No!

Susan, just calm down. It's okay.

I'm sure there's an explanation.

Go in the house

and lock the door.

Please, go in the house

and lock the door.

I'll be a minute.

Just lock the door, darling.

Hey, kid!

Susan!

Come here for a sec.

I've got someone for you to meet.

Come on.

Susan, I'd like to introduce you

to Mr. Peck.

He's our gamekeeper.

Pleased to meet you, Miss.

It's okay, darling, look.

Peck's brought us some game today.

Nice, huh?

We need to talk. Now.

Hey, look, darling,

I think whatever happened

was just a simple

misunderstanding.

He was more scared than you was.

Who the hell is this guy?

I told you. Mr. Peck.

Look, before we came, I took him

on as our gamekeeper, okay?

He's a local, and he's worked

this estate for years.

He's a creep.

He flashed me.

He what?

Darling, are you positive

that's what you saw?

Look, I know him.

He's ex-army.

He's fought everywhere

in the last 10 years,

Afghanistan, Baghdad, Basra...

Oh, yeah?

Well, whose side was he on?

Come on, you know it makes them

a little funny.

But it's good sense

to have someone around.

A bit of extra security

for the place when I'm away.
