Once again, I felt that ultimate state of transition, my feet no longer on the ground, my hands not yet in the water.

• I had no answer to those questions, only hope. With absolutely no one to turn to, no Mikey, no Axe, no Danny, I have to face the final battle by myself, maybe lonely, maybe desolate, maybe against formidable odds. But I was not giving up.

No one had shot me, which was well nigh beyond all comprehension.
