Bandit supposes they might just as well. They’ve found out what they most need to know. Hill’s probably guilty. His astral response to questions about the UCAS Bank account more or less proves that. He’s afraid of being revealed as a thief. Probably that stuff about his wife was a lie, too, an explanation invented on the spot, with no basis in reality. It’s in the nature of most thieves to lie, when necessary. Thieves don’t like to be caught.
