On a warm evening in mid-July, Rob Farrow decides to go for a ride on his motorbike. When he gets to his lock-up, he is horrified to find his motorbike is not there and there is a bloody great hole in the back wall. Some bastard has stolen his motor bike!

Rob steps through the new hole he has in the back of his lock-up and into the field behind. He is over-joyed to see the familiar glint of polished chrome handlebars in the long grass and sets off to retrieve his property.

As Rob gets closer he can see a figure hunched over his motor bike and stops to think about how they will react when they see him. Things could get nasty. Rob goes back to find something to defend himself with. He finds the chain he had used to lock the motor bike and wraps one end around his fist.

Now he is ready.

Victoria hooks her blond hair behind her ear as she inspects the motor bike’s ignition switch.

“Come on you fucker, ” she thinks to herself, identifying the wire she needs to short out, “I can’t push you across this field, I’m gonna have to try and get you started so I can…”

Victoria freezes when her work is suddenly thrown into shadow by a figure beside her. She is too scared to turn and see who it is and decides on abandoning the bike and making a run for it.

But she is barely on her feet when a heavy chain lands around her shoulders. She struggles but the chain is pulled tight, crushing her arms into her ribcage and making her stumble to the ground. Without the use of her arms to break the fall, Victoria lands on her face, adding pain to the humiliation of being caught stealing.

With half her face now in the mud, Victoria recalls the words of her mother during her last visit to see her in prison.

“Your old Mum isn’t in jail for stealing. I’m in here ’cause I got caught! Always remember girl, if you can’t be good, at least have the sense not to get caught!”

But Victoria has been caught and all she can do now is hope that she doesn’t end up sharing a cell with her mother.

When she feels the buttons being popped at the front of her trousers, Victoria’s attitude changes.
