When Sorry is Not Enough (2014)
“‘Did we do wrong?’ After a few gulps followed by a deep inhale Sally managed to mumble, ‘Josie, what we are finding difficult to take in is …’ ‘That the woman was in Newhaven harbour and …’ ‘No,’ expounded Sally, ‘not that she was in the harbour, but why you told the police you didn’t know who she was.’ ‘Oh.’ Luke coughed. ‘Now the two of you can skip around this all day if you like but what I want to know is who the hell this woman is.’ Waving her hands wildly to indicate the complexity of it ...all Sally replied, ‘Of course you don’t know. Well, Luke, her name is Dove Bird and she came into the Four Marys the night before …’ She halted and Luke could see that she was going over every detail in her mind before she stressed, ‘Yes, it was definitely the night before she was found dead! And she said she was trying to find Stan Roper because she had an appointment with him.’ Butting into the conversation Josie quickly spluttered, ‘And we told her he was a wrong one and to hightail it back to where she came from.’ Luke found himself looking from Josie to Sally and back to Josie again before uttering, ‘But what I need to know, Josie, is why did you say to the police then that you didn’t know who the dead woman was?’ Becoming agitated, Josie spluttered, ‘To help you of course.’ ‘Me?’ ‘Aye, I was frightened that somehow this lassie getting herself killed might muck up the case you had built up for Irish.’ ‘In what way?’ ‘Just that if we said we knew her they might think that one of us did it to make sure Irish got out.’ Sally and Luke looked at the ceiling, out of the window, down at the carpet, anywhere but at each other or Josie.MoreLess
