Chapter Fifty Eight

The Forest

May 2nd

2 p.m.

Two hours spent searching the internet and talking to locals in the pubs and tea houses in Ironbridge did not reveal any new nuggets of information that could help Peter in his search.

The events at No. 8 were still a hot topic of conversation, even though they had taken place almost over a year ago. No one seemed to have ever talked to the man who had lived there. A few people thought he was quite tall and broad shouldered, but then, at the other end of the scale, someone said that they thought he was small and wiry.

Searching the internet had not flagged up any suspicious deaths or missing people. His local sleuthing had drawn a blank.

After lunch in the gastro pub with the large courtyard just opposite the entrance to the bridge, he marched up the hill to investigate the forest.

He was nervous. The dream from last night was still very vivid, and he knew, knew that this walk in the forest was going to be eventful.

For a while he stood in front of No. 8. The second time he had been there that day. Then he turned and faced the forest, staring at the trees.

Peter smiled to himself. He was beginning to get inside of the mind of the murderer: he knew now why the forest was significant. He also had an idea of why KK had rented the house at the top of the hill. Opposite the forest.

But he was also worried. He knew that he had to fight the gradual encroachment of an alien personality into his psyche, and expose KK to the world: his crimes, his perversions, his death, and his name. Peter had to exorcise KK from his body and mind, and he knew that the only way to do this was to track him down.

Peter had to go on the offensive.

.

He walked across the road, climbed over the fence and stepped into the trees. Closing his eyes, he tried to recall the exact spot in his dreams that KK had exited the forest, so that he could start to retrace KK's steps backwards into the trees.

He glanced behind him at the houses, walked several metres further along the edge of the forest, but failed to find any spot that seemed to resonate with the picture in his head.

Perhaps he didn't come out of the forest here.

Peter closed his eyes, and tried to think like KK. Tried to think as a killer would, who was just about to dispose of a body...

If he had been carrying the body from the house, it would have been natural to take the shortest path across the road from the house in the dead of night, carrying it as quickly as possible into the cover of the woods. But when leaving the forest on the way back, having disposed of the corpse, the prudent thing to do would have been to stay under cover of the trees for as long as possible and exit somewhere else completely.
