0:00.0	BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.
0:04.6	Matt was silent the whole way back to London.
0:09.6	Marcus Byron had checked him over before we got in the car and seemed confident that he wasn't injured in any way.
0:16.0	We figured he was in shock.
0:19.0	Marcus kept to a steady 150 miles an hour along most of the A12 back into London. I have no idea how we weren't stopped or why not a single speed camera flashed us, but I guess that's a perk of being an ex-member of the Department of Works.
0:35.4	An hour and 20 minutes later, we were at the Whittington Hospital in North London.
0:40.0	Marcus drove us straight to an old Victorian wing of the building to a unit that is not listed on any of the hospital's directories

1:49.7	up and move. I remember thinking I really should make contact with people. And then the next thing I know, it's like I fell asleep again and woke up in hospital.
1:59.0	Except you didn't. You walked from wherever you were to write where we were and I have no memory of that and I couldn't have known you'd be there could I
