Chapter Ten

“What the hell are they playing at sending us out here?” Ezee moaned. Gabe had no idea why they were out on the Grampians, but he had a damn good idea why they wanted them away from Kashmerle.

“I think it’s just a conspiracy to get us out of Kashmerle while the powers that be enforce the search warrant on the castle,” Gabe grumbled.

“Well, I don’t think they’re performing an illegal operation. The death of the Marquis is going be pretty high profile, and they’ve got to look into all the possible leads. And as it was the gem that was missing and the documents were of Kashmerle’s claim on the jewel, it doesn’t show them in a good light,” Ezee explained, not really answering his question but giving him the reasons this was happening.

“We could be suspects,” Ezee continued. “We have offices in the castle, for Christ’s sake. They’ll have to search those as well if the warrant is for the castle. That’s why they want us out of there.” Ezee looked across at Gabe.

“Watch the road, if you can call it that,” Gabe stated. “We should be almost there.” They drove up to see the air ambulance sitting in the distance, and between them and it was a very old Land Rover and a small group of two lads and a handsome young man.

“The guys should have waited for us if someone is firing off a shotgun round here,” Ezee said, and Gabe recognised the unease in his voice as the stepped from their vehicle.

“I’ll go check on the victim, you question those witnesses. The shooter is probably long gone by now,” Gabe instructed as he headed toward the helicopter.

“Yeah, sure,” Ezee replied, heading to the small group.

“Hey, Benny, who do we have here,” Gabe said as he approached the paramedics.

“Ah, great, you’re here. We need to get going. Though, for someone who’s just been shot he’s remarkably stable,” Benny said, looking at his patient.

Gabe looked at the man and gasped, “Alden.”

“Oh, you know Mr. Alden then,” Benny said. “Well, he has a gunshot wound just beneath his collarbone with a clear exit wound behind. The casing and bullet will be out on the moor.”

“It’s Alden Kranski, Benny,” Gabe said, staring at Alden. “Do you think I could just have a few minutes with him as he’s so stable?”

“We really should get him back.”

“Just a minute, please,” Gabe pleaded.

“I’m feeling okay,” Alden’s voice came from the bay in the helicopter.

Benny shrugged. “Okay, just a minute. I’ll ring through and get his details corrected, but if there is any crap about this I’m blaming you, PC Jones.” With that Benny got out his radio and began talking through to dispatch.

“Can you wipe his mind?” Alden asked immediately.

“Yeah, I can manage that, but dispatch know, and there is now a report of a shooting in the system that’s going to take a lot more than mind wiping to clear up,” Gabe answered.

“We need to get Percy and William at the hospital quick, and please don’t take in the man who shot me.
