Second very small chapter. For HedgieX. I'm off all week so I'll have more up this week, this is just a small update to keep you going. It barely deserves to be on it's own, to be truthful, but I thought you'd like to see it anyway. Mostly dialogue - I'm lazy today.
Fic was taken down to SOPA/PIPA/ACTA scares. However, SOPA & PIPA are pretty dead and ACTA isn't decided on until June, so enjoy.
Thanks to all readers, reviewers, etc. Love you all!
"What's Gill got from him?" asked Rachel, standing up quickly as Janet left Gill's office.
"Nothing, really. What're you stood up for?" asked Janet. Rachel realised what she was doing and sat down sheepishly. "Anyway, Harris. He says that he was down at the pub on Friday night. We'll need to go down to the pub later and confirm that. The interesting thing is, he claims that she was involved with this Jack Thompson bloke, but she never actually told him that and he never saw them together."
"So he's jumped to conclusions about her and Jack?"
"Yeah, essentially, that's what he's done. Has Andy tried to contact the university?" Janet asked, opening her KitKat and signalling to a grl sat at a computer to put the kettle on.
"Two of her friends have said they'll come down tomorrow afternoon, her sister'll be here tonight and one of her teachers is coming as well, Saturday afternoon."
"Brill. Far as I'm concerned though, he did it," said Janet confidently, spinning a little in her chair and biting into her KitKat.
"What makes you say that?" asked Rachel, frowning.
"Seen it all before. The jealous ex-boyfriend always did it."
"Right," said Rachel unsurely, nodding along. "What was she studying anyway?"
"Some beauty thing or something. Hairdressing, maybe? Don't remember."
"I'm not so sure it was Cameron. He seemed to really love her."
"No he didn't, he just wanted to get in her pants. You don't actually think he could possibly be innocent, do you?"
"I don't know. Anyway, ask all her friends about Jack Thompson. I've gotta be honest, I'm a bit suspcious of him."
"Are you?"
"Yeah, I am. I mean, her friend we spoke to knows nothing, her parents knew nothing, nobody's mentioned him. Why would she hide him from her friends?"
"I thought we established that Harris was jumping to conclusions?" quizzed Janet.
"Yeah, but for him to jump to conclusions, she must have been hanging around with him a lot, and when we asked her friends who she hung around with, they didn't mention him."
"Fair point," said Janet. Newbie's good, she thought to herself. She pulled another KitKat from the pack. "Can you catch?" she asked. Newbie nodded and Janet through the KitKat across the room. "Good Newbie," Janet muttered to herself. Andy and Kevin would regret taking bets.
