SAFE HOUSE

MCSKIMMING OBLIGED. He had a furnished house that could be let when he moved out of it and went to share a house with a friend. He had been about to advertise for new tenants. We arrived at the address he had given us to find him waiting. A short driveway led to a carport beside the house. We ushered the girls into the lounge room, still wearing their night clothes and carrying their other clothes in their arms.

“Go to bed,” McSkimming told the women. “There’s a bedroom each. You guys sit up and stay on guard. One can sleep on the couch while the other watches. I want to get back to my partner before she leaves me because of neglect.”

I did not think McSkimming ever neglected anything but understood what he was saying. It was past one in the morning. Before McSkimming left, we peeped in on each of our girls. Raewyn was asleep but Bernadette wanted to talk.

“Sergeant,” she said. He was a Senior Constable but that didn’t matter. “I was kidnapped.”

McSkimming sighed. “I’ll turn on the light,” he said. “Then you can tell me your story. Catch this on your mobile phone, Richard.”

I turned on my video, hoping I had enough space on my SD card.

“What happened?” asked Senior Constable McSkimming.

“I was looking after the kids after school,” said Bernadette. “Two men drove up in a white car. They said, ‘We have been sent by the Salvation Army to bring you to town for a check-up.’ That was the shorter man, but he was still taller than Tom Agnew. ‘You are to have your babies in their clinic,’ said the tall man. He was really tall. ‘I have to stay with the children.’ I said. I didn’t trust them, but they were well dressed and polite.”

Bernadette paused. She looked at McSkimming with wide eyes.

“Then I did something stupid. I said, ‘I don’t want to talk in front of the children.’ The tall man said, ‘Come into the kitchen then,’ so I did. As soon as the door was shut, they grabbed me, taped my mouth and carried me to their car. The tall guy drove. I was in the back-seat, with the other guy, the one with a tattoo of a lizard on the inside of his arm, just a small one. Quite cute, actually.”

“Did they interfere with you in any way?” asked McSkimming.

“No.”

“Sexually? Hurt you in any way?”

“No and no.”

“Where did they take you?”

“I don’t know.”

“How long had you been there?”

“I don’t know. I lost track of time. I had a visit from Dr Morrison. Actually, I’ve had him three times. Because of the babies, you know.”

“Did you see anybody else?”

“No. I made friends with the other women. They are mainly from Thailand. They’re being paid for their babies, sort of having them for other people.”

“What about yours?” asked McSkimming. “Are you being paid?”

“No. I thought Mr Handisides was the father, but the dates are wrong.”

“What happened?”

“Mr Handisides used to come into my bed when all the kids were asleep.
