Heather reversed the Fiesta as close to the back door of the Sportage as she could get it, then pressed the button to raise the tailgate of the big car. She stared in horror at James’s face, his eyes wide and glassy. In the blackness of midnight, and a moonless midnight because of the heavy cloud cover, his face glowed eerily translucent.

She opened the boot of the Fiesta, glad that she had thought to lay down the back seats and cover everything with a blanket. No way would a man’s body fit in the small boot space. His body was stiff, and it took her fifteen minutes to transfer him to the smaller car, then cover him with a second blanket. She removed the plastic sheeting James always had in his car to keep the boot clean and stuffed it into the Fiesta. She intended wrapping him in it before burying him. She checked over the Kia, wiped down everything she had touched when she brought him home from the cemetery, packed the shovel she had last used at the graveside, and then locked the car. It was now out of her hands.

She started the engine, and then sat for a minute while she watched for anyone moving curtains to see who was making the noise. All appeared normal and she put the car in drive and edged slowly out of the driveway. She drove down the road, not switching on her lights until she reached the crossroads, then turned right and headed for home.

It was nerve-wrackingly difficult driving down the tight alleyway leading to the unkempt grassed area around the back of the flat. She had to turn off her lights so that no one in the houses opposite would think it strange that a vehicle was travelling along a route not meant for cars, and she breathed a long sigh of relief when she reversed the little car as close to the spot where she intended digging as she could get it.
