Chapter 47

A Little Rest Goes a Long Way

Sharon woke with a start.

A phone was ringing.

For a moment, two worlds hung over each other, the living and the sleeping, competing for the best billing.

Reality won.

The ringing of the phone became a tinny cascade of sound effects.

The cascade was the calling tone of her mobile phone.

The light was still burning in her room.

Her mobile phone was still in her trouser pocket.

She eased it out, and looked blearily at the time. 23.10. She’d been asleep for barely an hour.

She looked at the caller, groaned, and answered the phone.

“Hi, Miles.”

“Hello, Ms Li – you weren’t sleeping, were you?”

“What? Me? No, not sleeping, just thinking about… work and that. What’s up?”

“Good news from the tech boys, Ms Li – thought you’d want to know. They’ve managed to recover some of the data on the dead woman’s phone.”

Sharon’s head bounced back against her pillow. For a moment she stared up at the light in the ceiling, and wondered what it would be like if she could blow it up with nothing but her mind and a bad temper.

“Ms Li? Ms Li, are you there?”

“Yeah,” she groaned. “I’m still here. That is good news.” She managed, just in time, to bite off a curse. “Yay for good news.”
