FIFTEEN

Mumtaz couldn’t relate to the deceased Princess Diana or her lover, Dodi Fayed, but she was at one with the albatross they appeared to be clinging on to. She looked up at the staggeringly ugly statue between two escalators and felt yet another urge to cry. But she stopped herself. Harrods Department Store, which had its own dress code (no uniforms, no scruffs) probably didn’t allow crying. She leant up against a vast marble wall and tried to collect her thoughts.

Ali, her brother, had claimed sanctuary in Christ Church. She had a dim memory that such a thing existed but she didn’t know that anyone actually did it any more. Charged though not arrested, he’d been in the crypt all night. Her father had told her it was not anything to do with Rajiv Banergee’s death but was related to an accusation of male rape. Those boys he’d given shelter to had accused him of abusing them. Specifically they’d accused him of abusing them on the night Rajiv had been murdered. They’d either killed Rajiv themselves or they knew who had. Although when she’d told Lee, he had said it was too early to jump to any sort of conclusion. She disagreed. Her brother wasn’t gay! Her brother, now she came to think about it, wasn’t anything.
