Olo was wild with anger as he saw Hob go over to the Resistance and nearly thought that Brass was considering it as well. "Do you want to be locked in the Lockholes forever?" he shouted, as he hurried away from them. But they ignored him, though Hob did look a bit troubled. "Alright," Olo muttered, "the men should be around the Tooks somewhere," he said, chewing with a yellowed tooth upon his lip and smoking vigorously on his pipe. "To think that they'd go for some weed! They should be grateful for what Sharkey has done for them. Blithering idiots."

He was slightly disturbed and was inwardly fidgeting at the thought that Ferney, or worse Sharkey, would blame him for Hob's dersertion. Olo was inwardly sorry to loose Hob: he had been rather brave, putting him between him and Josh -- Josias. Olo knew that he should have done something more, but they had been outnumbered. "Once we have the men, we'll go after them and everything will be alright."
