"I had run into him several times, and we did not get along well... Had a few arguments. Then one night I saw him walkin' on the other side of the street. T' was on Grape lane, near Church street. He was with two men. I was still angry with him, so I called out to him that I had fucked his mother. But then all three descended upon me... They used a scarf to blindfold me and took me to a place I don't know. An abandoned house or shed, I suppose. They beat me. Well.... he did," he pointed at Anthony, "while the other two men constrained me. Then they said if I went to the coppers, they'd find me and beat me harder. They blindfolded me and dropped me off in an alley. I was too disoriented to remember exactly where... Somewhere near Grape lane. Two fishermen found me and took me to the doctor..." He did not know if the constable would believe him, but he had packed in a lot of truth among the lies, and he was interested to see how far he could get with this. Even if that bastard would only have to spend a few more nights in the cell that would be worth it.
