Gabriel glanced up from the notes.I know youre pissed about the chiefs plan, but get over it. Bottom line here is protecting Dakota and finding Salyer. Karen will be here tomorrow. Samara glared at her sister.Never thought Id see you in a bookshop, she replied. “Not afraid your idiot friends might see you? And that coats hideous, by the way. 25 Snowdrop, energetically does as shes told. She stops three digits from the end. Thats Mums number, she says, suspiciously. Speaking to Eve Cater is going to be key, says Rowan, as Snowdrop sets about scribbling down a plan of attack in her multi-coloured jotter. She puts wiggly underlines beneath the date and uses a love-heart for the dot over of the lower case i in Investigation. Before Max comes in, theres something else I have to tell you. Gabriel drew in a deep breath and let it whoosh out, his shoulders slumping. Karen thinks Dakotas suffering from DID. Ive seen the changes. We don’t really know what part of her memories are real. There may not be a child, but one thing I know for sure—the closer we get to Salyer, the worse she’s going to get. 4.44pm She did that, shouts Freya, her voice echoing off the walls. She slides off the mask, glaring up, madness in her eyes but face as still as water. Destroyed something beautiful. We would have let her go. Her and Catherine. But they had to fight him. He would have shown them such beautiful things, the way he showed me. His father never understood what he was trying to do. Just saw the darkness in him. I saw so much more. Theres a beauty In fire, dont you think? It hurts, but its beautiful. I didn’t understand that until Mr Pearl asked me to help find him. He said he knew hisson’s habits. That old copper with the dark hair – he’d found the route he liked to take. He was always going to come back to where it began. To where Sixpence showed him the truth of things. I still looked young enough toi pass for 14. That’s what people liked about me. That’s what the punters had liked. He took me off the streets and paid to pretty me up. Got me in to Silver Birch without anybody asking questions. I was just Freya. The new girl. And I went along with it because it was exciting, and because I didn’t really believe it, and because before Mr Pearl found me I was sleeping in doorways and sewers and letting men stick themselves in me for the price of a bag of chips. He told me what to be. How to behave. Who to make friends with. And he told me that all I had to do was keep watch for a drifted called Cormac. She was sick of it. It wasnt just him. It was all of them and she was sick of it. Sick of being reviled for what she was, sick of trudging through the snow, sick of being hunted, sick of being cold and exhausted all the time. Far off, he heard birdsong. It sounded like laughter. Yeah, and my wife packed up the kids and left me. I lost mine, so he lost his. So what now? Max asked, staring at the closed bedroom door. He could hear the water running full force and knew she had it as hot as she could stand it. Shes right about the body. If we call it in, theyll arrest her. They wont believe she just now remembered this. What? Gabriel picked up his jacket. He closes his eyes. Slumps back against the brickwork. Feels gloom settle upon him like ash. The unfairness of it all! Three great steps up the career ladder and each has taken him closer to the bottom. From journalist to writer.Tick! From writer to TV presenter.Tick! And from TV presenter back to square bloody one.Dick! A reporter without a story; a journalist without a journal. Self-employed bordering on full-time unemployed. He feels his disappointment, his resentment, like a physical pain; some herniated lump of gristle right behind his heart. Hed served his time, hadnt he? 20 years in newspapers, man and boy. Hed been right to take the money from the posh publishers down by the Thames. A two-book deal: two true-crime books, the first to be delivered inside 12 months. That wasn’t a problem, considering he’d already written it.He got most of his money in one go. The agreed fee was supposed to be paid out in different stages – the signature of contracts, the acceptance of the manuscript, the hardback publication and finally the paperback. Rowan was struggling with some old debts and having outright fistfights with some new ones. He agreed to a slightly lower fee, if he could have the bulk of the cash up front. He’d quit his staff job at The Mirror before the transferred cash hit his account. A voice drifts up from below. It echoes against the wall. It sounds like more than one voice. Sounds as if a dozen or more people are reading from the same script. She straightened, smile beaming from her face. She hoped it blinded these two bitches.Lets get that bought. Then I guess we have to find your sister.* * * Take me away from them. Dont let them take me back. She nuzzled against him, her hands travelling over his shirt, tugging at it to reach the skin beneath. Jeren glanced down at her ragged gown. Once it had been worth more than most people would see in their lifetime. Now shed be lucky if someone gave her a copper penny for the remains. Abruptly she cried out, the sound muffled by the gag.
