Chapter Nine
Bessie took Mary’s arm and pulled her backwards, away from the unit. Fiona kept screaming where she was standing until Bessie grabbed her arm, somewhat less gently than she had Mary’s.
“Shut up,” she barked at the woman. “That isn’t helping in any possible way.”
Fiona looked at her, and after a moment, shut her mouth. Now Bessie could hear the low buzz of John’s voice as he spoke on his mobile. He ended a call and looked over at the three women.
“I suggest you all go and sit in one of the cars,” he told them. “You’re going to be here for a while.”
“I’m not,” Fiona announced. “I’m going back to London right now.”
She marched over to her hire car. Bessie watched as it took the woman three attempts to actually get the key into the lock on the door because she was shaking so badly. Eventually, she managed it and pulled the door open. She threw herself into the driver’s seat, glancing back towards them and giving them an angry look before started her engine. She floored the accelerator and the car weaved back and forth along the road, narrowly missing a lamp post as it went.
“She’s too upset to drive,” Bessie said to John. He held up a hand and she realised he was on his phone again.
“There are local police on their way,” he told her when he disconnected. “They’ll stop her before she even makes it to the main road. I’ve suggested that they take her down to the station for questioning. I’d rather not have to see her again.”
“I’m sorry,” Mary said quietly. “George hired the firm and she was who they sent. I thought she was just terrible, but apparently she’s very good at what she does.”
“Well, they’ll have to send someone else,” John said. “I can’t imagine she’s going to come back.”
“No, I guess not,” Mary replied.
“But you don’t need to apologise,” Bessie said. “It isn’t your fault she’s horrible.”
“No, but I, that is, well, I don’t know.” Mary threw up her hands and then walked a few steps away. Bessie started to follow but stopped when she heard sirens. A few minutes later a police car, lights flashing, turned into the storage facility. Behind the first car was Fiona Partridge’s car with a second police vehicle behind that.
John walked over and met the officers, who spent several minutes gesturing towards Fiona’s car. John shook his head and walked back to Bessie and Mary.
“When she saw the police car, apparently your Ms. Partridge stopped her car and ran away. She left her car in the middle of the road, so they’ve brought it back up here. Two men are following her now, but she got a good head start because they were so shocked by her behaviour that it took them a minute to start the chase.” John sighed deeply. “Like a dead body wasn’t enough bother,” he muttered, heading back to greet the next set of arrivals.
Bessie looked over at Mary and saw that her friend was looking very pale.
