Jade bolted upright at the sound of the hammering at her door, the noise wrenching her out of her thoughts. With a glance upwards to where her daughter was sleeping, Jade sped to the door. Was it the boy, the boyfriend, back again so soon?

Her heart lurched as she yanked the door open and took in the man standing in the porch. Her eyes moved past him. A woman stood by the fence, looking at but not touching the memorial flowers.

‘Jade?’

She pulled her gaze back to the man’s face.

‘Yes,’ she answered, reluctantly.

‘I’m Detective Constable Paul Harper,’ he said, ‘and this is Detective Sergeant Carrie Flynn.’ He smiled, but whether a rozzer smiled or not she felt the fear. She never used to, had always been taught that if you were in trouble you looked for a policeman. But now, these days, with all the secrets she held, the fear that she would say the wrong thing was in the forefront of her mind.

Jade blinked as the face of the officer blended into that of the young, dark-haired boy who only hours earlier had professed to be Jordan’s boyfriend. Was that something the officer wanted to talk about? Was that something she should tell the police?

The boy would be back tomorrow, he’d said. She wished he was coming back tonight, but on the other hand she needed time to contemplate the young man’s claim. Time to figure out what, if anything, she should do with this new information.

‘Can we come in? We’d like to ask you a few questions about Jordan Robinson.’ The officer on her step prompted her, flashing a warrant card at her which blurred in her vision.

Reluctantly she opened the door wide and let him in.
