Flashes: Part Three
“After making Lois her third cup of coffee of the shift, Jackson grunted, ‘I’m going for a smoke. If you want another coffee, I’ll be in the yard.’ Once he’d gone, Lois picked up the telephone and looked meaningfully at me. ‘Are you phoning his alibi?’ I said. She nodded.
‘Don’t you think it’s a bit late to be calling her now?’ ‘Not my problem,’ she shrugged, punching the numbers into the phone. ‘The Guv says he wants her checked out, so I’m checking her out.’ I turned away and tried to make mys...elf look busy, but I couldn’t help but listen to what Lois was saying. Even though I was only privy to a one-sided conversation, I got the feeling that whoever this Michelle was, she was extremely embarrassed by the questions Lois asked her. It was obvious from what I could hear, that Jackson had been telling the truth.
My heart sank. Not because I wanted it to be Jackson who had taken Kerry and the other girls, but because the real killer was still at large.
Lois finished her phone call, hung up, and without saying anything, went into Harker’s office and closed the door.MoreLess
