Once Rufus Boyle had retired to the comfort and safety of his Range Rover, Hamza and Sinead stood in the corridor outside the interview room, their backs against the wall.

“At one point in there, I thought you were going to take a swing at him,” Hamza said.

“Just one?” Sinead replied. “You obviously weren’t paying attention.” She turned to the senior officer. “He is a dick, isn’t he? It’s not just me?”

“It’s not just you,” Hamza confirmed. “Entitled knob. World’s full of them, unfortunately.”

“Aye. I’ve met most of them,” Sinead said. She gestured to the door Rufus had been escorted out through. “Think he’s telling the truth?”

“About not going to the house or seeing the car?”

“Either. Both.”

Hamza shrugged. “I don’t necessarily think he isn’t.”

Sinead, to her immense disappointment, was forced to agree. “If he’s lying about going to see them, then he’s the killer. And, much as I’d love to personally manhandle him into a jail cell, I don’t think he is. I don’t think he’d kill someone. He’s more likely to pay someone else to do it.” She perked up at that thought. “Maybe he paid someone!”

Hamza shook his head. “Doubt it. He hasn’t got much of an alibi for Thursday. Boss asked him.”

Sinead’s eyes narrowed. “What difference does that…?” she began, then she nodded and let the sentence fall away. If you were paying someone to commit a quadruple homicide, you’d make sure your alibi was cast iron. Ideally, you’d be on live TV somewhere. In another country. At the very least, though, you’d make sure you couldn’t be connected to the deaths.

“I don’t see a motive, either,” Hamza said. “I don’t think ‘being a dick’ is enough of a driving force.”

Sinead sighed. “No. I suppose not.”

“Still, the car’s a new bit of info,” Hamza said. “Potentially useful.”

“Aye. Could be,” Sinead said, a little distant. She checked her phone screen, frowned at it, then put it back in her pocket.

“No word from Tyler?”

“Hmm? Oh, no. Sorry. Nothing.”

Hamza pushed himself away from the wall with a foot. “He’ll be fine,” he assured her. “You know what the boss is like. He’s probably working the poor bugger’s fingers to the bone.”
