James followed Eva to the office door and watched her leave. He clutched the receipts in his hand. When Eva had disappeared from sight, he looked down at the papers. He noticed that there was a staple holding them together as usual. He looked more closely and then he noticed the other two tiny punctures right beside the staple itself. Winstanley looked at the redundant staple holes and began to wonder.

Eva didn’t get a taxi. She walked to the Starbucks at the top of town and ordered up a very large coffee with an extra shot to take away, then walked the mile plus back to her office in Southchurch. For most of the journey she endured a mixture of anger and embarrassment. She had nearly done it –nearly given in to temptation. How terrible she would have felt – to have been duped twice over – duped into thinking Winstanley was an angel, and duped into sleeping with him in that dirty old office. What the hell had she been thinking? How bad had things got between her and Dan that it had come to this so quickly? She thought about Dan as she walked, and still felt angry with him for all his hot-headedness and blunt-instrument determination. Eva was gutted, nearly distraught at herself. But Eva didn’t do self-pity for long even when she felt this bad. She shook her head and sipped the coffee. What had she learned? As she walked she was barely aware of the sunshine, the traffic, and the people on Southchurch Road. Her inner feelings - the monologue - had taken control. She’d learned James Winstanley was no angel. He was a bare faced liar, and his so-called charity was receiving money in and out of the country from various cities in Eastern Europe. She’d learned JC Holdings had passed money in various sums into the account of Winstanley’s charity, and she’d seen fairly good evidence Winstanley had met a European contact several times over. The words had to be someone’s name; it was the only way the words made sense. Stanca Cataraga. Then there was the case file, a strange file, with profiles and photographs of foreign nationals all limited to one side of paper each. The photographs had been clipped on to the sheets. The information on the person was not detailed at all, but their progression to a final positive solution was always clearly documented. In every case the solution was employment. What did any of this tell her? It told her the documents were scant and flimsy, and they were not true case files of the kind a charity would keep – which would have to be detailed and amended, often ad hoc, over-written various times by numerous hands. But these notes were so limited and so clean… the only clear statement in each case was the solution. They were progressed to employment every time. As if every case a charity worker dealt with could be fulfilled and summed up like that.
