Chapter Fifteen

I spend the rest of the morning relaxing as best I can. I forgo lunch and neither mom nor dad come looking for me, it’s a small reprieve from their enquiring minds. I doubt I’ll be so lucky this evening for dinner though, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

It’s what I receive in my email box that brightens my mood, they’re mostly just responses from various clerks saying they’d received my request for information and would deal with it in due course, all apart from one.

That one told me that there were available microfilms of the old mining tunnels at the library, all I needed to do was reserve a microfilm reader and go from there. It seems like I’m back in business and would have something to occupy my mind this afternoon. A quick call to the library confirms I can use a reader this afternoon too. I’ve also decided to send a text to rope Oli Hart into proceedings, him being based at the same office as Steven and I means he can keep an eye on Steven’s progress whilst I’m on vacation.

Me: Need a favor, Mudjoes in 1 hour?

I received an almost instant reply:

Oli: Sure.

I had just enough time to get myself out of my yoga pants and dress more appropriately for a trip to town.

I drive into the centre of Hawkstown and head into Mudjoes to meet Oli, I pray he’s been paying attention at the office, because I can’t talk too much about the case and don’t want to go into specifics. Telling Oli what is going on would mean I’d get in even more trouble, I was already dangling over the edge of unemployment.

Oli joins me at the table as I’m taking my first sip of coffee, “What’s up?” he asks (as Jo follows close behind and places a cup of tea down on the table in front of him.) Oli Hart is a main contributor to the continued success of our town, he owns and sublets retail property that makes things thrive. He’s rich and influential and his fake relationship with my other soul sister Lottie means he’s a good guy just trying to have some breathing space from his parents who he doesn’t want to disappoint. It’s because of his town connections and community spirit that I’m relying on him already knowing that something is not right within Hawkstown. Oli is also hot, as in wears a suit like he should be a regular GQ cover model, he is groomed to own wearing a suit with a rugged fierceness and in all honesty if Lottie doesn’t turn her fake relationship into a real one soon, she’s a fool. Oli is also more widely known for being one fourth of what are the hottest guys in town, the other three being Jonas, Chris and Sonny.

“I want to ask for your help, but I can’t go into specifics,” I begin, testing the water with him.

“Shit Neely, I’m guessing you’re
