This book is dedicated with love
to Neil and Elizabeth
Who bring every colour of the rainbow
And more besides.
And a big thank-you to everyone who asked,
'What happened next?'
He who binds himself to a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.

Shot Dead
BY JON GRESHAM
Yesterday evening, a nought suicide bomber was shot dead as he entered Ackton Palace train station. He was found to be wearing a money belt packed with explosives. A police spokesman told the Daily Shouter, 'We had a tip-off that this terrorist planned to board the next commuter train and detonate his bomb once the train was underway. As it was rush hour, the consequences would've been devastating. This is typical of the cowardly acts we've come to expect from the Liberation Militia.'
A nought eyewitness stated, 'Four plain-clothed police officers opened fire the moment the man stepped onto the station concourse. He didn't stand a chance. People were screaming and running. It was terrifying like something out of a film.' But as a police spokesman was quick to point out, 'Make no mistake, had we shouted a warning or alerted the terrorist to our presence, he would've immediately detonated his bomb, maiming and killing goodness only knows how many people. Better one dead nought terrorist than the deaths of dozens of innocent people including children.'
The Liberation Militia sent out a press release condemning the death of one of their members. 'This was nothing less than state-sanctioned murder. Our member wasn't even given the chance to surrender. Whilst these state atrocities continue, the war between Noughts and Crosses will never be over.'
Kamal Hadley, the Deputy Prime Minister gave his reaction to the outrage. 'These sub-human nought terrorists will never win. Their blatant disregard for life, be it nought or Cross, will ultimately be their undoing.'
Given the fact that Kamal Hadley's daughter, Persephone was kidnapped last year by the Liberation Militia and held for ransom, the Deputy Prime Minister's reaction showed remarkable restraint. Whilst a prisoner, Persephone Hadley was made pregnant by Callum McGregor, one of the nought terrorists who abducted her.
When Callum McGregor was hanged last year for kidnap and political terrorism, there was a (continued on page 5)

'Oh, come on, Jude. My feet are killing me,' Morgan moaned.
'Tough!' I said from one of the two single beds in our hotel room. 'And keep watching out the window. We don't want any surprises.'
'I've been watching the traffic for the last three hours.'
'And you've got an hour to go, so shut up complaining,' I ordered. He was getting on my nerves and no mistake.
Morgan sighed and moved the dark-brown curtain slightly so he could continue to look past it to the street below. He took another swig from his can of lager, which had to be lukewarm by now he'd been holding it for the last hour at least. I scowled at his back before turning my attention to the remote control in my hand and the telly in front of me. Five minutes of flicking later, I hadn't found a single thing worth watching. So much for that then. There was bugger all of any use on, so I plumped for some inane soap which required minimum brain power to follow. Which was just as well, because my mind, as always, was on other things.
Like Andrew Dorn.
He was my immediate priority now. He was the General's second-in-command, but if the information we'd been given was correct and each passing hour convinced me that it was he was also a traitor. It was thanks to him that our kidnap of Sephy Hadley had gone so spectacularly wrong. Thanks to his betrayal of us, every member of my assigned Liberation Militia cell had been killed or captured all except Morgan and me. The General didn't know it but Andrew Dorn was working hand-in-hand with the Cross authorities, particularly with Kamal Hadley, the Cross MP who loathed us noughts and everything we stood for. That's why we'd decided to kidnap his daughter, Sephy. Not just as a political statement, but to hit Kamal Hadley where it'd really hurt. But the whole operation had gone pear-shaped.
