Paul is on Sebastian’s side of the desk, working on notes after his meeting with Kate.

“Ahem, I brought you some afternoon tea.”

Paul jumps up from Sebastian’s seat and begins pushing his notes together. “Sorry, Seb! Hey they look great! Can I get you a coffee to have with them?”

Sebastian smiles. “I’d love one Paul, and while you’re gone, it will give me an opportunity to type out some notes for you regarding Samuel James.”

The phone peals. It’s Cynthia.

“Hello, my dear! How has your day been so far?”

“Not too bad, Seb, but you probably only said that to be polite…”

Sebastian rears back like a bee has just stung him. “Hold on a minute! Before you go any further, my love, you are constantly reminding me that I’m not thoughtful enough and when I try to be, you act as though I really don’t care.”

Cynthia remains silent for a split second. “You are right, Seb. That was totally uncalled for.”

“That’s alright, my darling. Apology accepted. Now, what do you have for me?”

“It seems that you think I only ring when it has something to do with the case. Perhaps I rang just to say hello or had some important news of my own.”

Sebastian can hear a wistful tone in Cynthia’s voice and begins to worry, “Please, my love, what’s wrong? You seem out of sorts.”

I’m sorry, Seb. It’s just been a day of ups and downs. I’ll talk to you about it when you get home. In the meantime I researched Kate Kensington for you and here is what I have found out so far: Kate worked two jobs to pay her way through university and eventually became a qualified pharmacist. A few years ago she developed a new sports energy drink, ‘KateEnergy’ which she not only sells at her shop but distributes locally and nationally. Kate likes to attend seminars overseas especially ones related to sports drinks or foods. But the interesting thing is, her trips away coincide with each of the murders.”

“Yes, that’s very interesting! But let’s put the case aside for now and talk about you…”

Before he can say anymore Cynthia cuts in, “Seriously. Seb, everything is okay and this isn’t the time or place to discuss it. I will talk to you when you get home!”

Sebastian can hear the determination in her voice and decides not to push the issue any further.

“Alright, my love. I have about another hour left here then I will be on my way home.”

Paul walks in with coffee just as Sebastian hangs up and sees the concerned look on his face. “Anything to do with the case, Seb?”

Sebastian, still looking perplexed at the phone, shakes his head. “Sorry Paul?”

Paul takes a seat, “The call; did it have anything to do with the case?”

Sebastian puts his phone back in his jacket, “Yes and no Paul; Now, tell me about your meeting with Kate.”

Paul slumps back into his seat and begins to relate his morning meeting, as Sebastian listens and watches intently. “Well Seb, I
