"Harry's first boy - Georgie. He used to work for Slater, but Slater beat him something feirce and made him work when he couldn't or shouldn't have. Harry took him away from all that, was trying to make it better but Harry was only seventeen, hardly any older than Georgie and in and out of jail. One night Slater came and he...he killed him and dumped his body in the river. Harry's never, never forgiven himself for not being there." Nell took a deep breath, the story still upsetting him even now although it had been fiveteen years and he'd not even been born when it happened.
"Harry was worried you were a plant by Slater but they could have been. So far though Slater's only...only come to see me." He gave Evander a small, worried smile. "Doesn't do much for a boy's confidence that."
