Rob looks heavily at the graffiti on the wall outside his front door. Someone has spray-painted "WHERE ARE THEY, ADAM?" in scarlett red letters across the grubby white exterior. Probably just kids. It's the sort of thing he, Peter and Jamie would have found funny once.
Someone is watching him through one of the windows in the house next door. He gives them the finger and the curtains close.
He has to get rid of the message before his landlord sees it. He was lucky to find a new place, without a reference from Heather and with the press watching his every move. He gets a bucket of soapy water and tries to scrub the words off, but only succeeds in turning the wall behind them slightly pink.
Throwing the sponge in the bucket, he drives to the nearest DIY store and buys some white paint and paintbrushes. By the time he gets home, it's starting to get dark. He pulls his coat tighter around his shoulders and starts to paint over the red "ADAM".
