He almost missed the phone call from Jack, and in hindsight, he wished he had. His mobile was on silent and he’d left it charging on the bedside table while he showered after his run. He’d needed to spend ten minutes apologising to Tanya on the way back, but the conversation hadn’t gone too well. He’d not only let her down with the awards event, but he hadn’t listened to a word she’d said because he’d been concentrating on looking for further symbols and signs that Moatside Lane was linked to their killer. Tanya had asked for his advice and he’d been unable to contribute anything because he’d simply not heard what she’d said. He felt guilty for having to ask her to repeat it all again, but finding the symbols had been important.

Perhaps he could do better with Jack.

‘Harrison, your witch doctor powers have worked.’

Harrison waited for the punch line of another DS Jack Salter joke, but it didn’t come. This one wasn’t funny.

‘I’ve found Freda Manning, and she’s in a hospice just outside of Harrogate. It’s about four hours from London.’

‘Hospice? Are you sure it’s her?’

Harrison’s heart felt like it had stopped beating.

‘Yes. I’ve already been onto the home and they have ID’d her from a photograph we have from a passport. It’s definitely Freda. She hasn’t even tried to hide her identity.’

‘Which hospice?’

‘Harrison, we should go together. You need someone with you. This has to be done properly. For your sake, not hers.’

‘I’m not in London. I’m in Durham. Harrogate is about an hour from here.’

‘Are you working on a case? Sorry I should have checked. I didn’t mean to distract you. She’s not going anywhere. I’ll book us an appointment. Let’s meet up there once you’ve wrapped up what you’re doing in Durham. I’ll come up and meet you.’

‘Sure.’ Harrison replied.

Jack had interviewed enough people in his career to know a lie when he heard one.
