Sitting at the kitchen table, I remove a plastic knife and fork from my jacket, along with a paper napkin.

I cut a small slice from the cake, and place it on my napkin.

“Well, thirty three,” I say. “Happy birthday, son.”

I try a forkful - it’s a bit sweet for me, but I don’t mind. I wonder when the police were last here. They did as much as they could, I suppose…

They’d tried their best. They made a public appeal for information, and the story was in The Gazette and on the local radio.

They even hosted a TV appeal, and I said a few words while Sandra sat next to me. They questioned taxi drivers, and other Saturday night drinkers – none of it lead anywhere.

And then there was the mysterious woman Paul had met in The Dickens Inn. She took a long time coming forward, despite many police appeals.

We thought she might have useful information concerning Paul, but when the police finally questioned her we were disappointed; she was married, and had been reluctant to come forward, not wanting to give to her husband the impression that she’d been unfaithful to him with Paul. One of many dead ends.

So we waited, not knowing, not sleeping. Days, weeks, months, years dragged by, every moment lasting forever.
