"You look like death warmed up," said Addison when Isaac finally joined their little group. He'd spent a good ten minutes speaking to Kendall and Diaz and inspecting the crime scene before heading over to where Addison and her family waited on the low brick wall.

"Thanks," he said, sniffling. "Hang on a minute." He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and blew his nose. The sound matched his physique – imposing and loud as thunder. "Sorry," he said, stuffing the handkerchief back in his pocket.

"What are you doing here?" asked Addison. "You should be home in bed."

"I was. But I can't leave a murder to Short and Diaz." He pulled his notebook out of his pocket then got as official-looking as he could manage with a red nose and watery eyes. "Senior Constable Short tells me you were a witness?"

"Well, yes. At least I think so." Addison explained how they were stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel for a good fifteen minutes right before the body was discovered. She told Isaac how she'd been looking at the ground in this area for a lot of that time, leaving out the part about being afraid of heights.

"Can you tell me what you saw?" Isaac asked.

"There were a number of people coming and going in this area," Addison began. "They all had red shirts on, which I see is the uniform for the staff. I don't remember seeing anyone without a red shirt."

"What about the victim's bunk in the trailer? Did you see anyone enter or leave it?"

Addison took a good look at the trailer and tried to picture the scene from up at the top of the Ferris wheel. "I really can't tell from down here," she said. "I think there was someone who went in and came out again a minute later, but I can't be sure it was that particular bunk."

Isaac shielded his eyes from the sun as he stared up at the top of the Ferris wheel, and then looked back to Addison.

"Come on, then," he said.

"Where are we going?" Addison asked, although her stomach was doing backflips already.

"Up there." Isaac pointed up to the scene of her nightmare.

"I was afraid you were going to say that."

"I think they've shut it down," said Justin.

"And you are?" Isaac asked.

"Oh, sorry. Justin Lake. This is my fiancée, Emily."

"My son and daughter-in-law," Addison added, although no clarification was necessary. She was stalling.

Isaac shook hands with Justin and Emily. "Nice to meet you." He signalled to Kendall Short, who came over. "Can we get the Ferris wheel back up and running? I want to take Addison up and see if she can recall anything."

"I'm on it," said Kendall.

Isaac held out a hand in front of him. "Let's go."

Addison couldn't think of a decent excuse.

As they walked back to the Ferris wheel Addison noticed most of the crowd had cleared out. It was less than an hour since Kendall had ordered the carnival be shut down. Despite her initial protests, Harry had been very efficient at complying with police wishes.
