Logan was two cans of Red Bull down, but he could still feel sleep prowling around him like wolves around a campsite, searching for a gap in his defences. He contemplated cracking open the third can, but that would leave just one to see him through the rest of the night, and so he opened up the family-sized bag of Maltesers heâd brought along and got ripped into those, instead.
The street was quiet. A few cars had come and gone. A dog walker or two. A woman on a bike. Nothing out of the ordinary.
As he watched, his mind kept drifting back to Hamzaâs kitchen. To the look of fright on the face of his wee girl when Logan had been let inside.
And to the fear in Hamzaâs eyes when he thought of that bastard being right there at his home.
Logan drew in a sharp breath, and almost choked on a Malteser. He hacked and coughed it back up as he opened the Volvoâs glovebox. An evidence bag slid out, and he caught it just as he managed to crunch the sweet between his back teeth and swallow what was left of it.
Sitting upright, Logan spread the evidence bag across the steering wheel, flattening its contents. With all the drama at Hamzaâs, heâd almost forgotten what heâd found in his flat.
There was no saying it had come from Petrie. It wasnât his style. It was a plain white envelope with Loganâs name and address printed neatly on a rectangular sticker on the front. Heâd barely have glanced twice at it, were it not for the fact that it didnât have a stamp or a postmark on it.
Heâd opened it carefully, and had found three separate sheets of paper inside. Each one contained just a single word, printed in a sans-serif typeface in the middle of the page.
Mentions.
Idealist.
Info.
Three words, apparently all random. It hadnât been until heâd seen another random wordâdrivewaysâscribbled onto one of the photographs that had been left at Hamzaâs that he became sure of the Petrie connection.
This wasnât like him, though. Riddles were never his thing. Mind you, ten years in a secure mental hospital pretending to be brain-damaged would no doubt change a man. Heâd certainly have had plenty of time on his hands.
Logan took pictures of the pages on his phone, then emailed them to the central team inbox.
Less than a minute later, Ben Fordeâs name flashed up on the phoneâs screen, and Logan swiped the button to answer.
âBen.â
âJack. Where the bloody hell are you?â DI Forde demanded.
âFollowing up on another Petrie lead,â Logan said.
âAye, Hamza said something along those lines,â Ben replied. âWhat lead?â
Logan thought about pulling rank and giving Ben the brush-off, but he knew the older man would never let him get away with it.
âIâm watching the safe house. Where Maddie and Vanessa are,â he said. âIâm thinking Petrie might try something.â
âWhat makes you think that?â Ben asked.
Logan adjusted his position in the seat. Half his arse and most of his left leg
