Kevin puts his hand over his bumbag, protectively as Tony rails, and lets him go for a moment or two before he says:
"It was a trap, Costain."
"No fucking shit."
"No, for frig's sake, listen. It was a trap, but it wasn't for me. If you want set a trap for Kevin Sefton you put Tom Daley on a street corner wearing nothing but speedoes and a Chelsea scarf, with a sign that says 'learn the mystical secrets of the universe.' You don't send him a flyer for an exhibit on Chinese fashion. I sprung the trap, but I wasn't who it was baited for."
It seems obvious to him - if Xie had been in on it, he would have set it better.
