May paused at the traffic lights, her hands resting lightly on the wheel, a slight smile on her face as she thought about Scott Moss. It had taken her half an hour to explain to Alec Walker, the MD of the company, all about Moss. He had watched the clips on her phone, his eyes growing ever wider as she showed him how Moss spent his days dragging his heels. When the video of him lunging forwards over the desk had appeared, Walker had leapt to his feet.

'What the hell!'

'And all this because he demanded I stay behind to complete work that I had already done, and that he had failed to upload because he was too busy spending what amounts to a full working day talking at the watercooler or sitting in his car.'

Alec Walker had slumped back down in his chair, his face riven with fury.

'Right, May, you get yourself off home I'll deal with Moss.'

Checking the clock on the dash her smile grew even wider, with a bit of luck Moss would be clearing his desk and out of a job.

The lights changed, and she moved forward, the trouble was she had seen the look of fury on Moss's face as he lunged over the desk, the same hatred had been evident in Clark and Bartle's eyes as they thought they had her cornered.

She knew only too well how some men reacted when they thought they had been bested, especially by a woman.

People like Moss would let the anger simmer inside, the thought that they had been in the wrong would never occur to them, they always looked to blame someone else for their downfall, and she knew that Moss would blame her utterly for what was about to happen to him.

The smile slipped from her face, replaced not by a look of fear but one of fury.

She would have to be extra vigilant in case he tried to exact revenge, she had seen it in his eyes, the loathing that she had dared to question him, and especially that she had been secretly gathering evidence that would put an end to his career.

May thought about the plans for the night ahead and suddenly she felt a sliver of concern. Before each chase she had a ritual, one that left her calm in mind and body. She knew that going into the canal-side building when her mind was tense or preoccupied could turn out to be a disaster, one in which the tables were turned on her and she truly became the hunted.

Another set of red lights appeared, she stopped then pulled out her phone and opened her emails. By the time the lights had changed back to green she had sent the message informing the man that the chase had been postponed to the following night. She gave no apology; no explanation just pressed the send button.

Tonight, she would go home and have a light meal before heading out for a run to burn away the frustration of cancelling the meet at the huge empty mill.
