Ken looked at the DCI and gave a worried look,
"Gov, there's about £2500 in cash"
"Right" the DCI replied with a grim smile "looks like Windsor was telling
the truth about that at least, bag the money and get onto the bank, see if
Manson has made any large withdrawals recently"
"Gov" Ken nodded in understandment.
INTERVIEW ROOM 3
"Interview commences 13:46, officers present are DCI Meadows and..." "DC Drummond" "Also present are" "Neil Manson" "And his solicitor" "Greg Johnstone" "Mr Manson, do you know a man named John Windsor?" "Yes he's a suspect in a case I was handling" "Do you know him personally?" "No!" Neil glared at Meadows Undeterred Meadows pressed on, "So you didn't have an arrangement with him, to abduct and rape DS Nixon?" "NO!" the ex-DI exploded "Why the hell would I want to do that?" "You tell me" Ken looked uncomfortable. "I had nothing to do with Sam's ordeal" Seeing that Manson was going to lose control his solicitor spoke "I think my client would like a break" "OK, interview suspended 13:57"
Outside the interview room Jack pulled Ken to one side to ask "Did you check with the bank?" "They won't give any information without Manson's consent" "Did you tell them this was a criminal investigation?" "I told them they'd be done for withholding information, but they wouldn't budge" "Right lets see if Manson will give his consent, see how cooperative he is, if he's innocent he won't mind us looking"
The news of Neil's arrest had spread like wildfire through the relief. Tony and Gary were doing the most gossiping and before long Neil was having a few visitors wishing him good luck and sneering at him.
The atmosphere in CID was stony and two groups of people had emerged, those who believed Neil and those who believed Sam. In Neil's group there was Terry, Phil, Debbie and Ken was torn. In Sam's group there was Jack, Adam, Jim and Ramini. Uniform were also torn, Smiffy, Gary, Tony, June, and Kerry believed Sam. Steve, Cameron, Andrea, Lance and Honey believed Neil. Reg Hollis wouldn't take a side and said that the others shouldn't ether. "Well it's not right is it?" He reminded Tony as they left after refs.
A few hours later after no new evidence could be found on Manson he was bailed. "Mr Manson you are being bailed to return to this station in five days time pending further enquires, do you understand?" Smiffy's voice drilled a hole in Neil's already throbbing head. "Yes" he hissed. "Sign here, thank you. Gary can you escort Mr Manson off the premises"
