After putting the children to bed that evening, she told Nathan about the trip to the airfield and that one of the men at the compound was the person at the fire. Nathan didn’t question her certainty and remained quiet and thoughtful for some time.

‘I don’t have a good feeling about that place,’ he said finally. ‘I agree with you about the media guy wanting privacy and being able to afford it, but it doesn’t stack up with Ian being there at the same time as the fire started and don’t forget the incident with the old man. One could simply be an accident, but two is stretching it especially if you add in the hit and run. Peter Webber would appear to be the common denominator, but why would someone like him be involved with this?’

‘I don’t know.’ Lexie leaned forward, elbows on the dining table, and rested her head in her hands. ‘Because it’s his plane, I assumed the hangar and compound belonged to him, but it might not. I wonder if it’s possible for the plane to be used without him knowing.’

‘It might not belong solely to him. Could be used by a couple of companies.’

Lexie shrugged. ‘I didn’t really take to him, but that’s not enough to pin a couple of deaths on him.’

Nathan grinned at her. ‘Pretty poor justice system we’d have. I’ve also driven round there a couple of times on my way home, not that it’s exactly on my way home. It’s mostly quiet, but I have seen a couple of vans there. One of them was there the night the plane landed.’

‘So, not doing any investigating then.’ Lexie kept her tone light. Driving around the airfield was pretty innocuous compared to copying Peter Webber’s files. She’d keep that to herself.

‘Anything else exciting happen while you were at Veronica’s?’

‘Peter yelled and swore at some lawyers. He keeps a few bodyguards around but other than that nothing exciting.’

‘How did it go with the gossip lady?’

‘I don’t really like her, but I can put up with her as long as the work is interesting. She’s not stupid and I need to remember that, and she’s business savvy in her line of work. I guess she’s made it out of sheer bloody-mindedness and not being averse to using other people.’

‘She doesn’t sound like the type of person you’d normally choose to work with.’

‘You’re right, I wouldn’t, but as I don’t have offers of work flooding in I’ll stick with this for now.’

Veronica’s only positive point was in having useful contacts and giving her a good excuse to do some digging.
