‘Get out,’ Jennings voice was shaking. ‘Both of you, get out.’
Wilson looked back over his shoulder as he exited and saw that Jennings was sitting forward with his head in his hands.
‘My God, Ian,’ Spence said when they were outside the office. ‘I thought Jennings was the most devious bastard I’d met, but you’re up there with him. It’s a side to you that I hadn’t realised before.’
‘Spend a few months living with Kate McCann,’ Wilson said. ‘Some of the deviousness rubs off.’
The team and associated hangers on from the station were assembled in the back snug of the Crown. The mood was initially morose. The McIver affair was still a raw wound but as the drinks began to flow the mood became more jovial.
‘There’s money behind the bar,’ Wilson said. ‘And I’m paying for taxis home for all. Nobody drives home tonight.’ He was fighting back sleep himself, and he could see that Moira and Harry were not going to last the pace.
‘Does that include me? After all, I am a member of the team.’
Wilson wheeled around and saw Stephanie Reid standing at the door of the snug. She was dressed in her working clothes of white blouse and black skirt. ‘I suppose so,’ he said.’ He looked around the assembled policemen and saw the effect Reid was having on them. They were just short of drooling. His gaze finally rested on Moira who wasn’t exactly drooling. She looked like her favourite dog just died.
‘Double gin and tonic,’ Reid sat beside Moira. ‘Us girls are going to have to stick together. The boys look like they’re about to tie one on.’ The waiter deposited a gin and tonic in front of her. ‘Good result,’ she clinked glasses with Moira
‘You’re wasting your time,’ Moira said through clenched teeth.
‘Only time will tell,’ Reid said. She turned to Wilson. ‘Now who’s going to start the singsong?’
Author’s note
I hope that you enjoyed this book. As an indie author, I very much depend on your feedback to see where my writing is going. I would be very grateful if you would take the time to pen a short review on Amazon. This will not only help me but will also indicate to others your feelings, positive or negative, on the work. Writing is a lonely profession, and this is especially true for indie authors who don’t have the backup of traditional publishers.
