Chapter 16
They watched as the conversation between Durakovic and Thomas Grey continued for several minutes. The latter became increasingly flustered as he drove home whatever point he was making. For her part, Danika remained calm with an impassive expression that Caslin knew only too well. From experience, he found it virtually impossible to interpret. Danika shook her head at several of the points Grey was conveying. This only seemed to further agitate him. Then it was Greyâs turn to listen and despite several attempts to interrupt her, he did so with a pained expression on his face.
By now, Hunter had taken her camera from its case, tucked behind the driverâs seat and was busy taking shots of the impromptu exchange.
âWhat do you think theyâre talking about?â she asked, just as Grey raised his hands, dramatically emphasising his point.
âWhen we get back to Fulford letâs run a search through the Companies House Portal and see if any of Greyâs business interests tie in with Danikaâs. I very much doubt these two were old school friends.â
âGreyâs name has never come up in relation to Durakovic before?â Hunter asked. Caslin shook his head.
âNot that I recall. The only property interests I remember sheâs involved in were multiple small to medium-sized enterprises that she uses to wash her money,â he said, thinking about it while Hunter snapped away. Grey stood, crestfallen, as Danika turned away from him, sliding into the backseat of the Mercedes and the door was closed for her. He shook his head slowly, turning his face skywards.
âSounds like he didnât get the response he was looking for,â Hunter offered, taking a last photo of the encounter.
âIt doesnât, does it?â Caslin replied. Grey watched the car pull out and set off in the direction that they themselves had come from. Rubbing his face with a palm, Greyâs appearance was drained of the brash confidence that heâd exuded back in his office. The moment passed and anger flared within the businessman. Stalking back to the Discovery, he got in and slammed the door shut. Sparking the engine into life, the wheels squealed as he set off at speed. Pulling a U-turn in the road despite an oncoming vehicle, whose driver sounded his displeasure, Grey accelerated away in the direction of his office. Caslin and Hunter were left to consider what theyâd witnessed.
âShall we go?â Hunter asked.
âAye,â Caslin agreed. âLetâs keep Durakovicâs involvement to ourselves for the time being. Yes?â
Hunter looked over to him, attempting to read his expression, âWhy?â
âOur recent brush with her has ruffled a few feathers upstairs,â Caslin explained. âI donât want any suggestion the result of that case is clouding my approach to this one. At least, letâs keep it under wraps until we know how this comes together.â
âForgive me, sir,â Hunter said, Caslin met her eye, âbut how does Nairn fit into our current case load? I mean, have we not got enough on already?â Caslin blew out his cheeks, weighing up a response. âAfter all, if youâre asking me to keep quiet, I deserve to know whatâs going on.
