Cherringham--Death On a Summer Night (2015)
“A Deadly Threat 10. A Deadly Threat When Jack walked into Pete Bull’s plumbing supplies store, Pete sat behind the counter, head down in stacks of paper.
And Jack noticed that when Pete looked up and saw him, he didn’t get the warm reception that he would have expected.
And since Pete was about as solid a “bloke” as you could ask for, Jack thought … guess I really am stirring up things in the village.
“Pete? Hey … how are you?”
Pete looked up and managed a small smile.
“Fine, Jack. Um, anything... I can do for you?”
Just the slightest chill — but noticeable.
Pete had been at the Ploughman’s when the mob circled Tim Bell. He hadn’t joined that mob, but maybe his sympathies were with them.
“Yeah. Pete, I was hoping I could get a few words in with Ollie Nash. He works for you, yes?”
Pete nodded. Almost reluctantly he put down the stack of papers, and stood up.
“Ollie’s out on a job, Should be back any minute.”
Jack nodded, smiled. “Mind if I wait?”
The slightest hesitation.MoreLess
