Olivia waltzed into the station feeling refreshed. DI Lawrence had been right to suggest a break. Sheâd have to make sure he got one after the call with Samuel Mercer.
âIâm here,â she declared as she walked into their office space. The clock on the far wall read 2.48 pm, quietly marking time.
âPerfect timing,â Lawrence spoke, approaching her with a file. âWeâve got some new stuff in. Text exchanges between Kitty Allen and Ella Hebden,â he started, pulling out a fresh page and placing it on her desk. She nodded, allowing him to keep going. âClaraâs found a couple of new camera angles from the train station, although there arenât any new leads, and it doesnât look as though Ella was followed out of the station. Claraâs currently working on dry calling all of the taxi companies in town to see if any of them picked up Ella that night. So far, no luck, but sheâs only just started.â
âAlright,â Olivia nodded as she took the rest of the file from him. âWeâre getting closer, though. And what about this phone call with the ex-boyfriend?â
Lawrence looked at his watch.
âWeâre calling in about ten minutes,â he answered. âMr Mercer said he has some information that might be helpful, but that heâd only disclose on the line with the detectives. Iâm hoping it brings us closer to finding Ella and whoever took her.â
Olivia looked over at her partner, a singular eyebrow raised.
âYou still think itâs Gareth,â she offered.
Lawrence shrugged.
âWe called in a favour with the Met Police. A couple of plainclothes officers are following him to make sure he makes it onto his train. Part of me expects him to run, but weâll have to wait and see, I guess.â
Olivia nodded in agreement.
âWell, letâs get set up in the interrogation room and go from there,â she suggested, gladly accepting yet another cup of tea from Timothy. He really did have impeccable timing.
âRight,â Lawrence chipped in. âAnd howâs Earnest?â he asked as he gathered his things.
Olivia smiled, glancing at him from her desk.
âEarnest is as Earnest does. Which is to say heâs doing splendidly,â she answered. âMy mother is babysitting him, which will have to do for now since sheâs not holding out for any grandchildren from me.â
Lawrence scoffed at this comment.
âSounds like an immense amount of pressure,â he winced.
Olivia couldnât decide if he looked amused or concerned, but she rolled her eyes, allowing a smile to flit across her lips.
âOh, if only you knew,â she laughed. âIâll always be the concerning daughter.â
âGlad to see you have a good sense of humour around it,â Lawrence commented as they walked, files in hand, into the interrogation room.
âMe too,â she sighed. For the most part. She adjusted the necklace around her neck. âAlright, are we ready for round two of this?â
Her partner nodded.
âDo you want to speak with him or shall I?â She asked.
âMaybe I should take the lead?â Lawrence almost seemed timid at the suggestion. âThat way, you can focus on Mr Finch and I can focus on Mr Mercer.
