Looking down at the matted mess that used to be the girl's blonde hair, he sighed as he felt his stomach turn. He'd been wasting time with Hayley... They'd been so convinced that it was her that they'd not even considered the options of it being anyone else.
The ambulance sirens droned away as he rubbed his sweating hands down his trouser legs, his eyes tired as he realised this case was probably going to be his last. He was going to retire peacefully with the memories that he'd lost a girl her life with his stupidity, his neglect that there could have been more... He stopped thinking. There was no point mellowing now. Ellie Harris was dead. That meant Hayley, Carrie or Lily could be next...
He was going to protect them three. If it was the last thing he did...
She sat cross legged on the hard bunkbed they expected her to sleep on. Her eyes were cold and calculating as she stared at the little door letter thing where they put the odd drink for her. She hadn't drank one yet because there was no way she was going to pee on that toilet...
A small smile pressed against her lips as she realised she had him good...
