Poppy has been saving up for her driving lessons, working weekends and evenings to get the money together.

Its the only thing she does that evening thats true to character.

Poppy has always been fastidious.

Her friends mock her for the obsessive way she keeps her room tidy, everything in its right place.

It reminds him of childhood nightmares.

A creature in his bathroom sink.

Gurgled death threats from beyond the U-bend.

She werent right in the head, he tells the investigating police officer.

Delanos next job is to trace the full stop of the crash back to wherever the incident started.

Poppymousey Poppy, insecure and nervous Poppytore through Shoreditch like a weather front.

Her skin and hair are oily from the grease of the roast chickens that slow-dance around the rotisserie.

A shortcut to a car and better nights out.

But the woman who rushes over to stop her is holding her own car keys in her hand.

Its pure good luck that theres a break in the traffic as Poppy pulls out onto the road.

The sluggish traffic is bothering some people, tutting and complaining, offering frequent insults to the traffic lights.

It doesnt bother Poppy.

Hes spent the last two hours backing down.

This silly cow coming up on him was going to have to be the one to swerve.

The second-to-last thing that goes through his head is Why does today hate me so much?

The last thing to go through his head is a piece of scaffolding.

His lousy day ends with his head looking like an angry cocktail cherry.

If Poppy notices she doesnt care.

Nobody calls the police, theyre far too busy filming Poppy on their phones.

The news channels are spoilt for choice when it comes to wobbly camera footage.

That evening Poppy will be a TV star, or at least the back of her head will be.

Two minutes away from the betting shop window.

A group of schoolkids cheer as Poppy goes past.

To them this seems fun, a bit of action to break up the long trudge home.

Something they can message their mates about later.

One minute away from the betting shop window.

The last race at Aintree has been run.

Nobodys made their fortunes.

Maybe hell just stop in at the chippy on the way home.

Oh, and, by the way, whats all the noise outside?

Car horns and a revving engine.

Sounds like some kind of carnival is heading his way.

When the window breaks it sounds as if someone has let a firecracker off in the shop.

The air is full of noise and glass.

Seconds ago, most people in the room were cursing their bad luck.

Five minutes later and theyll have changed their minds.

Its frankly phenomenal that nobody is seriously hurt.

It certainly isnt big enough that you should be able to drive a car through it without killing everyone.

One of the older customers dislocates his hip as hes knocked back against the wall.

Strangely, the worst injured of all is Mandy Ridgeway, whos working behind the counter.

Shell have serious concussion and a neck injury that will flare up for years to come.

Why do you think she did it?

WPC Delanos partner asks her as they lie in bed that night.

I havent a clue, she tells him.

Not the first idea.
