Chapter 2- The case gets moving

'Well, that wasn't much help, was it?' I say, walking into the office after we've visited Justin Brownlow's father. He looked very shifty and didn't answer many of Jack and I's questions. "Crap" Jack agrees. 'What have you two found out?' I ask Brian and Danny. "Right, we found out that Justin was a sworn enemy of one Anita Knowles. She was his fiancée, but 3 weeks before she was due to be married to him, she found him in bed with another woman." Brian replies. "Good job you didn't do that to me!" says Gerry, pulling me into his arms. I smile and kiss him. 'What did you and Steve find out?' I ask. "She just told us about Anita, and apparently Anita is now dead, she died in a car accident about 18 months ago." He replies. 'Okay, we'll go and interview Justin's brother this afternoon. Right now though, it's lunchtime' I say.

A couple of hours later...

'Jack, let's go and talk to Justin Brownlow's brother. Brian, Danny, what are you going to do?' I ask. "Well, we found out that Justin was involved with quite a nasty gang. Murder knives, all that jazz. We might go and interview one of the former members, Alex Leigh." Replies Danny. 'Okay, Gerry, you and Steve check if any of our suspects have a criminal record.' I say. I look round. Where is Gerry? Oh, he's just walked over to Brian's desk and is leaning over to point at the screen of Brian's laptop. 'What are you two up to?' I ask, walking over. "Erm, nothing." Says Brian, quickly closing his laptop. "Er, yeah, nothing" adds Gerry shiftily. I narrow my eyes. 'Just what are you to up to?' I ask. "That's for us to know and you to find out!" Gerry winks at me. 'Will I find out on Friday?' I ask. "Affirmative, guv!" Gerry replies.

'Pub?' I ask at the end of the day. "Only if you buy the 1st round, I'm knackered!" says Jack. "I will," Gerry chips in "Sandra needs to buy my anniversary present" he continues 'For your information, your present is bought and paid for! And yes, I'm feeling particularly generous today so I will buy the round' I get my coat and Gerry takes my hand, leading me out of the office.

'Who's your money on?' I ask when we get home. 'The case?' I prompt, rolling my eyes. "Oh! Perhaps someone connected to the jilted lover?" Gerry suggests. 'Ok, sounds good' I reply.
