"Her boss Mr Holmes, he knew we were friends, and when the crash came he gave me some information for her." Sally had taken the news of her friend's perfidy quite calmly. "He said I'd know when to pass it on."
"And did you?"
"When his younger brother Sherlock went missing, I realised that was the trigger."
"And what was the information?" Greg leaned towards her.
"It was a couple of names." She whispered brokenly. "But I only glanced at them once; I didn't recognise either of them."
With a nod Greg gestured to the door.
"Okay. Go get a shower and change. You're on office duties until we catch the killer."

Greg's mobile vibrated as he watched Sally walk away.
"Lestrade."
"The information is missing from the house." Barrymore snapped.
"So someone knew what to look for?"
"Fortunately she'd already given me the names, but now someone else knows too. You have to find them."
"And do you know where to find these people?" Greg asked.
"She was going to tell me last night." The gang leader fumed. "I want you to trace them for me." He closed the call.
xXx
After a moment's thought Greg made a call.
"He has the names, but can't contact them." He said without preamble. "Hopefully this will give us time to make a breakthrough."
