They drove down the short drive to the main road, and headed for home, each lost in their own thoughts until Doris said, ‘I don’t like her.’

‘Pam?’ There was surprise in Kat’s voice.

‘No, Grace. She’s very protective of Pam, but it smacks of control. Still, it’s nothing to do with us, and Pam seems happy to have her there.’

‘Is it control,’ Mouse asked, ‘or is it that she’s seen Pam in dreadful pain and just wants to try to prevent it? I must admit to not knowing about ME, but I certainly hope I never get it. I’ve seen Pam twice now, and she’s seemed half asleep both times.’

‘I had a friend with it, she died a couple of years ago,’ Doris said. ‘To look at her you wouldn’t have known anything was wrong, but it’s one of these invisible illnesses, like fibromyalgia. Even GPs don’t understand it, yet there are consultants in all hospitals for it. It took years for them to diagnose Sandra, then one day she went for a hospital appointment to discuss the massive amount of pain she was in, and she took along a long list of symptoms she had experienced over the previous six months. The consultant took one look at the list and said you have ME.’

‘How awful,’ Kat said. ‘Never knowing if you’re going to wake up in pain, or if it’s going to be an okay day. Poor Pam.’

Mouse put on the Range Rover’s indicator, and headed through the Derbyshire hills and vales to collect Martha. The three of them spoke very little for the rest of the journey. It had been a bad day, and they were individually digesting what they had seen and heard. Meeting with DI Marsden wasn’t going to be easy, but on one thing all three were united; Henry Roy would not be brought into any conversation.
