Mrs. Jeffries Defends Her Own (2012)
“Jeffries Defends Her Own CHAPTER 6 Constable Barnes waited till the foyer was empty before he opened the heavy double doors and stepped inside. Eddie Harwood glanced up at the sound of the constable’s footsteps on the wooden floor. “You picked a good time to come,” he commented. “It’s gone quiet. The CI is in a long meeting, and last I looked, none of Nivens’ minions are about.”
Barnes grinned. “Thanks, Eddie. What time is your shift over?”
“In another thirty minutes. I was thinking we could go... have a pint when you’ve finished looking over the report. I had a quick glance at it and it’s not too long.”
“That’ll be fine, Eddie.” Barnes kept his smile firmly in place. He’d sensed there’d be a price to pay for the man’s help, and he’d suspected it would be an evening drink. Eddie had no reason to hurry home, but luckily, Barnes had told his good wife he’d be late so she wouldn’t worry. “Is there a place I can use that’s a bit private? Maybe none of his minions are here, but Nivens has eyes everywhere and I’d not like him to cotton onto the fact I’m reading his reports before they get to the chief inspector.”MoreLess
