Prologue
The early morning sunshine did nothing to improve his mood. The drive to the office, after breakfast with Jules and his dad was taking longer than expected. Road workers, slow drivers and an over cheerful radio DJ did nothing to improve his mood. After what seemed like hours but was probably only ten minutes more than usual he was stood in the centre of the Everett and Shade office surveying the mess.
"What happened?"
Zoe shrugged her shoulders. "The door was open when I got here. The place was like this." She waved her arms around at the mess In front of her.
"Angie?" Shade ran a hand over his eyes, not really believing he was at work before his partner. Zoe shrugged her shoulders.
"Not here."
"I can see that." Shade sighed.
"Not answering her phone." Zoe folded her arms. "I called her before I called the police."
"Ok. Well, stay here. Wait for the cops. Keep calling Angie. I'm going to her place." He almost ran out of the door, hoping the dread in the pit of his stomach was wrong. Angie was his partner and best friend. There was no way he was going to lose her. He just hoped whoever had ransacked their office was not the reason why she hadn't turned up for work.
