The group is also able to demolish Coltrane's statement that Lance was his first homosexual encounter, leading to a conviction for murder. Things turn sour when work colleague Veronica turns up, blaming Henry for Lance's death and eventually all the members of the collective move into their own accommodation. Last to leave is Freddie, after he has accused Henry of treating him like Lance, wanting him around but scared to have sex with him. Henry loses touch with Freddie until seven years later when they meet by chance and reflect on old times. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
