Erika took the stairs two at a time up to the top floor at Bromley Cross. She clutched a bulging file of notes, and checked for the fifth time that she had everything in order.

It was early afternoon on Monday morning. It was now more than two weeks since Jessica Collins had been discovered, and she now had to go into a major briefing and give a progress report.

As she came through the double doors and into the corridor, she met Superintendent Yale carrying his Who’s The Boss? mug.

‘Erika, you’re looking smart,’ he said taking in her black suit. ‘The cavalry are waiting; Commander Marsh, Assistant Commissioner Brace-Cosworthy and the media liaison with the twitchy eyes…’

‘… Colleen Scanlan. I’m sorry they’ve thrown you out of your office, sir, but Commander Marsh only called to say they were coming an hour ago, to say the Assistant Commissioner wanted to be briefed.’

‘Not too hot here is it? You’ve got sweat on your top lip,’ he said. She wiped it away and went to move past him, ‘Jason Tyler’s henchmen are being rounded up this afternoon. We leaned on him hard. Threatened to take the kids off his wife. He’s given us intel on six of his associates, plus access to the Paypal accounts they’ve been using. Looks like we’re going to clean up!’

‘Congratulations, sir. That’s great to hear. Let’s catch up later. Now please excuse me, I must go,’ she said hurrying away. He watched as she disappeared through the double doors,

‘Catch up later, eh? You could have stayed on the case you know, taken all the glory. This could have earned you a promotion too,’ he muttered ruefully. He took a gulp of his tea and started down the stairs.
