Chapter Twenty-Nine

Hammers pounded in May Fraser’s head. She sat up and groaned. Memories of the nightmares flooded back, and she swore.

It was all the fault of that wee slag Megan. She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since she failed to come home on Saturday, and the bloody police weren’t doing anything about it. All they said was she’d gone walkabout before and she would come back when she was ready. But this time was different, she could feel it in her water. Besides, she was her mother, and a mother always knew.

It was something to do with that perv along the landing. She’d seen the way he looked at Megan, and the silly wee slag had laughed, enjoying the attention. She knew, she just knew, he had something to do with it. Him with his sidelong looks, and the way he avoided her eyes. Maybe the wee slag was shacked up with him. She wouldn’t put it past her.

Well, they weren’t going to get off with it, she’d go along right now and confront them, and if Megan wasn’t there she’d make him tell her where she was. Bloody perv should never have been housed beside decent folks anyway.

She heaved herself out of the bed, struggled into the skirt she’d been wearing for the past month, pulled her tee shirt on, rammed her feet into a pair of fleecy slippers, and charged out of the flat. The wind on the landing whipped at her red hair, but it was already a tousled mess so it didn’t make much difference.

The door to the perv’s flat hung open. May thumped on it but when she got no answer she walked in. The kitchen was a mess, a mountain of dirty dishes in the sink, more dishes and pots and pans cluttering every surface, rubbish spilling out of a waste bin. May tutted and turned her back on it. A faint sound of music filtered through the living room door. Without hesitation she gave it a shove. ‘Where’s my bloody Megan?’ she roared when it swung open.

The music continued to play, but the body on the floor looked very dead.
