What are you doing tonight? Drink? Maybe? Perhaps?

She should call him. Even though she didn’t have time for a drink, and even though she had to tell him about Minnesota, she should absolutely call him. She flushed at the thought. Maybe later. The Met contact she really wanted to hear from was McKittrick, but right about now she was probably sitting at one end of a long boardroom table, finding out whether or not she still had a job.

Of course, there was one other person Ingrid could dial for help, but Nick Angelis was someone you only called when you had absolutely no other choice.

Ingrid tapped her phone back into life and read the documents Dilner had sent through. The details of Oboloyo’s murder were gruesome. His body parts had been sent, one by one, day by day, to his widow: the more she read, the more determined she was that Dennis Sutcliffe had to be put behind bars. And to do that she had to find Kristyn. She just had to find her.

“Where do you want me to drop you?”

Ingrid looked at the meter: £38.80. “Right here, right now.”

She opened the door and stepped onto the sidewalk of a busy six lane highway. She handed two £20 notes through the open window to the driver. She resisted saying ‘keep the change’ and only hoped that, somewhere in the universe, the fact she had over-tipped the night of Tom Kerrison’s private view somehow balanced out her penny-pinching this time around.

She walked briskly toward the row of shops she’d seen the previous morning. Vauxhall was little more than an intersection combined with a construction site: the new embassy was being built somewhere nearby. Between six lanes of traffic and the bus, Tube and railway stations, Vauxhall was the sort of neighborhood you passed through. It wasn’t a destination. Yet this was the place Kristyn Bowers had asked for directions to. Why? It wasn’t anywhere she’d have seen in a movie. It wouldn’t have gotten a mention in any guidebook.

The only connection Ingrid could make between a scared seventeen-year-old girl on the run and Vauxhall was the enigmatic Manuela: she was from Portugal and Vauxhall was full of Portuguese restaurants. Someone had to have guided Kristyn’s choices. Someone had to be helping her. Ingrid was working on a hunch that Manuela must have given her an address of somewhere she could go, or the name of someone who could get her to safety. It was a long shot, but when you’ve only got one lead, you follow it.

Ingrid walked past a Portuguese deli, a tapas bar and a specialist Portuguese bakery displaying custard tarts ranging in size from gem-like to gigantic. There were just too many establishments to choose from. Somehow she needed to make the connection between one of them and Manuela. Further down the highway, on the opposite side of the street, she came to Café Porto and something about it was attracting her attention. She crossed the road to take a closer look.
