“Much better. Thank you, Captain Farrington,” he said.

“Call me…” He hesitated a moment and then smiled. “Call me Charlie.”

“I didn’t know you were a captain,” Harry said.

“Didn’t I mention it?”

“No. I did wonder if you were a general or something though when you shot Mosely and knifed the other.”

Charles laughed. “Not a general, but I did do a lot of unarmed fighting. I learned to look out for myself and because I am quiet people tend to make the mistake of underestimating me.” He gave Harry a small smile.
