He knew what these were immediately. They were the names and ages of the Gone Away Girls, and each flag was positioned in the place from which they’d vanished. He made a mental note to look up the information, just to collaborate his hunch, but he knew he was correct.

Connie’s flag was stuck in the grass at the sorry excuse for a children’s playground the locals called Seer Green.

Alice’s flag was in the car park of the small supermarket to the east of Grove Lane.

Fiona’s flag had fallen over and lay flat inside the skateboarding park.

Tessa’s flag stood forlorn and lopsided on the pavement outside a sweet shop near Grove Corner.

“What does this mean?” Marc turned and looked at Rose.

“I’m not sure. I think I’m too scared to even think about it.”

“You noticed the names?”

Rose nodded.

“Do you know what they are? Do you know who those flags are meant to represent?”

“I do. It’s those poor little girls, the ones that went missing.”

Marc licked his lips. He didn’t even want to think about this too deeply, but he needed to ask the question. “Do you think... do you really think that Harry could have been involved in their disappearances? Is there any way that he could have been responsible, or at least that he might have known who was?”

Rose didn’t speak for a few seconds. He stared at Marc, then looked quickly away and examined the model. When he looked at Marc again, his eyes were moist. “In all honestly, I don’t really know.”
