Chapter Four

I sat at my desk. Mike had been in my office earlier, giving me the low down on James Speight. A date had been set for his trial and Sophie was now capable enough to give evidence against him. I was also expected to attend, to give my account of the details leading up to his arrest.

Emily walked past my door and then hovered in the corridor for a moment. I knew that she wanted to talk about the other night. She knocked on my door and entered.

“Hi,” she said quietly.

“Hi. I owe you an apology for how I acted. I’m sorry.”

“There’s no need for that. I know it must have been something serious. You’re not the sort of person to behave like that. I just thought that maybe you thought that you might have made a mistake with Kate and realized that when you saw Rosa, that you wanted to be with her instead.”

“I can’t say that that thought didn’t cross my mind, but it was just for a split second that’s all,” I told her.

I explained the situation about my uncle returning to California and showed her the pictures.

“What do you want to do about it?” she asked.

I looked around my office. Taking in the fact that I had worked my ass off to get this position. I had the second largest office on the floor, Mike’s being the first. Three panes of glass, fitted from the ceiling down to the ground, acted as the wall between my office and the corridor with a glass door to the right. I shared the same panoramic view of the city, as Mike did, not that I had much free time to admire it, but at least it allowed my office the option to have natural sunlight to filtrate it. The walls were pale gray and my desk white. The seat that I love, had been made exclusively for me by a friends husband, it being white leather, high back and a massager included. I’m not the type of person who likes clutter so my walls contained no decoration. The stainless steel shelving matched the cabinet on the wall behind me and the only non work related item that I had was a photo of Kate on my desk.

“Let’s see just exactly what he’s been up to,” I told her.

After making a few calls and receiving emails, we found that he was a suspect in a missing girl case. Megan Hatch had been reported missing by her father when she failed to return home after going to meet a man that she’d met on an internet chat room.

Security footage outside of the White Rock bar, showed Megan standing alone, waiting behind a parked car. A man in a leather jacket walked up to her and a quick conversation took place. The man in question fitted the description of Theodore Spiers. They walked over to a car parked on the other side of the street and then Megan was pushed into the back of the vehicle before it sped off.
