After hours of mindless TV watching Henning’s brain starts to work again. At eleven o’clock that evening he opens FireCracker 2.0—the program Henning’s source within the police wrote a couple of years ago for their confidential two-way communication—and checks to see if 6tiermes7 is logged on. The minutes pass. Then there is a ding dong sound as if someone had rung the doorbell.

Henning’s fingers hit the keyboard.

MakkaPakka:

Do you know what killed Pulli yet?

6tiermes7:

Come on, what do you think?

MakkaPakka:

That it’s way too early. Was there any blood at the crime scene?

6tiermes7:

No.

MakkaPakka:

Anything at all suspicious?

6tiermes7:

Not that I know of.

MakkaPakka:

Police interviews?

6tiermes7:

They haven’t got that far yet.

MakkaPakka:

Why not?

6tiermes7:

TV2 refuse to release the tapes without a warrant. But here’s something interesting for you. A member of TV2’s staff has gone missing.

Henning sits up.

MakkaPakka:

Someone who was there when Pulli died?

6tiermes7:

Yes.

MakkaPakka:

Who is he?

6tiermes7:

His name is Thorleif Brenden. He’s a cameraman.

MakkaPakka:

Any previous convictions?

6tiermes7:

No, or he would never have got into the prison.

MakkaPakka:

Okay, but do you know anything about him at all?

6tiermes7:

No. He hasn’t put a foot wrong his whole life.

MakkaPakka:

So what are you doing about it?

6tiermes7:

Nothing at the moment. He hasn’t been missing for very long. But we’ll put out a missing person bulletin, I imagine, if he doesn’t turn up over the weekend.

Interesting, Henning thinks. Very interesting indeed.

MakkaPakka:

Now for something completely different: do you know where Rasmus Bjelland is these days?

6tiermes7:

Didn’t he apply for witness protection?

MakkaPakka:

Yes. That’s why I’m asking.

6tiermes7:

No. Not a clue. Do you want to talk to him again?

MakkaPakka:

Not really sure. But I wonder if the people looking for Bjelland might be behind the arson attack on my flat. Knowing if he is still alive would be a good start.

6tiermes7:

It could take some time. I might not be able to come up with anything.

MakkaPakka:

Okay. I’ll just have to be patient.

6tiermes7:

Stay healthy.

MakkaPakka:

You too.
