Eva had lied to her father. Sheâd made no arrangements to stay with a friend overnight. Her fellow medical student Helga GrÃmsdottir told Emil that she knew nothing about it and hadnât seen Eva since she took off for the UK. Concluding that Kristján and Eva had gone into hiding together, as Frankie had suggested, Anna decide to send Emil to Ãsafjörður while she Skyped Kristjánâs father to ask if his son had returned to the family home.
The man spoke little English, so the telephone interview was conducted in Icelandic. Frankie didnât need to master the language to know that it was a useless exercise. From the manâs tone and body language she could interpret that he hadnât a clue where the lad was.
âTakk,â Anna said, ending the call.
She slipped her phone in her trouser pocket. No jeans today. She was dressed in a navy suit, a crisp white shirt, her hair tied up in a soft feminine bun with braiding intertwined. It was a good look that suited her, very attractive, a style Frankie wouldnât dream of trying to replicate.
âWell?â Although she knew the answer, she had to ask.
âNo joy.â Anna glanced at her watch, then up at Frankie. âHeâll be in touch if Kristján shows up, with or without Eva. I have to go out for a while. If I hear anything, Iâll let you know. Emil will do likewise. He should be landing about now. If Kristján is in the area, he will be found.â
âI wish I had your confidence.â
âBelieve me, Emil is good at this. Ours is a very small world, Frankie. Ãsafjörður even smaller, only two and half thousand people live there. It would be harder for Emil to miss than find them.â
âI may as well have gone with him. Iâm in the way here.â Since early, Annaâs phone had been ringing off the hook, a long line of detectives Frankie had never seen before in and out of her office, all talking excitedly. Anna had been in her element issuing orders Frankie couldnât understand. âYou have multiple investigations to be getting on with, interviews, briefings, lock-ups on the horizon.â
Anna didnât admit or deny it.
Frankie never had been any good at fishing. âIâll die of boredom if we donât find those kids soon. Is there anything I can help you with? Iâd offer to man the phones if your lot spoke Geordie.â
âYou can help by keeping the faith.â Anna glanced at the wall clock above the murder wall. âAre you going out or waiting here for news? Itâs up to you.â
âNo, I need some air.â
Frankie walked her from the building. There was obviously something going down. Anna didnât mention what it was and she didnât ask. Ignoring her wave, Anna took off at speed, leaving her British guest affronted on the pavement. âHave a nice day,â Frankie whispered sarcastically.
For a couple of hours, Frankie had been wandering around ReykjavÃk city centre in the vain hope of spotting her targets. She was cold and miserable. While the UK was enjoying amazing weather, it was raining in Iceland.
