Jessie shuddered. Ending his message with just the single letter ‘D’. What did he think their relationship was? ‘D’ indicated intimacy to her. Benito ends his texts with ‘B’. Jessie and Dan weren’t friends; they never would be. And she still had to get to the bottom of who’d given him her number in the first place.

‘Everything OK?’ Dylan interrupted her musing.

‘What? No, it’s fine. It’s not important.’

Jessie deleted Dan’s message and stuffed her phone into her jacket pocket. The acrid smell of smoke hung in the air as they made their way up the drive to the Fergusons’ destroyed bungalow.

‘Jeez,’ Dylan exclaimed. ‘What a mess.’

Jessie sighed. He was right. The fire must have taken hold quickly but it wasn’t the fire she was interested in. Rachel and Kenny had already been taken to a safe house. Even Jessie hadn’t been given the location yet. Until the reason for the fire had been established it was safer for Rachel to be kept where she could be protected. Jessie argued that a cell was the best place for her but she’d been overruled on that again. She was pleased to see forensics had arrived and were already hard at work.

‘Where was it?’ she asked one of the forensic team who handed the bagged gun to her to look at.

‘Under the bed.’

‘Rachel’s bed, I assume?’

He nodded as she handed it back to him. Jessie shook her head and exhaled loudly. It must have been put there after she’d searched the room because she would have seen it, wouldn’t she? Sure, she’d been a bit distracted by finding out Haley’s identity but still, Jessie wouldn’t miss that – which begged the question: who’d put it there and why? Was it the same person who’d set fire to the property?

‘What a mess,’ Dylan commented and coughed to combat the smoke smell that hung in the air. ‘Do you reckon it was the same person who made the threatening phone calls?’

‘A bit of a coincidence if it wasn’t, eh?’

‘Aye, right enough but why?’

Jessie didn’t answer. Instead she scanned the scene by turning a complete 360 degrees. The full moon sitting high above the property illuminated the scene to its maximum, in stark contrast to the black smoke that still billowed above them. Why try to burn it to the ground? What did that achieve?
