Tom was tired of it all.

He sat in his car and dwelled on his findings. He hadn’t learnt much but his visit to the pool hall wasn’t a complete waste of time. He had established contact with Marcus’ uncle and regardless of whether Curly was complicit in hiding his nephew, the boy was now aware of Tom’s pursuit of him.

If that meant Marcus would flee further away from Binford in an attempt to avoid the authorities then so be it. Tom doubted this possibility since most of Marcus’ associates, if not all, were based in Binford. Binford was all he had, Tom thought, and if that was the case it was only a matter of time before the police caught up with him.

Tom pulled out his mobile phone and checked the unread text messages from Kate. They were short and vague, giving away nothing and only requesting that he call her back.

Now that he had made attempts to confront all the suspects on his list, he felt it was time he finally called her. It was something he wanted to do earlier but couldn’t - not without any answers regarding Chris’ murder.

Kate answered on the third ring. “Why are you ignoring me?”

“I’m not.” It was a lie but he moved on. “I was just busy.”

“Doing what?”

“There were a few things I had to do and I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to talk to anyone.”

She was silent for a moment. “Well, I hope you feel better now because there’s something important I’ve got to talk to you about.”

“Yeah?” His curiosity piqued. “What is it?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m just on the high street. Why?”

“Come on over. I don’t wanna talk about it over the phone.”

Tom checked his reflection on the rear view mirror. The marks on his face were obviously not caused by accident and there was no fooling Kate, any more than Donnell had been by Tom’s excuse.

“I don’t kno-”

“Come over now, Tom! I fucking mean it!”

The sound of her screaming alarmed him. “Okay, okay. I’ll be right over.”
