Keith arrived, breathless, outside the offices of JB Consultants just in time to see Lestrade enter the building. Noting the time on his mobile phone, he popped his earphones in and switched on his old-fashioned MP3 player.
Inside the building, Greg was escorted through the reception, and up the steep curved staircase to Barrymore's office.
"Wait here." The gruff voiced heavy said, waving towards a seat. "Boss will call you when he's ready."
Taking a seat, Greg looked around him. This wasn't the first time he'd been here, but this time he was nervous. Barrymore had given the impression he hadn't believed his cover story for Sally, and he feared for both their lives.
He wasn't left for long, as the door opened and a competent looking secretary walked out, smiling and telling him that Mr Barrymore would see him now. Greg rose and walked through the door.
"You wanted to see me." It was a statement not a question, and it had Barrymore's head whipping up.
"You let Sally go – how can you be sure she's trustworthy?"
"You don't spend as long in this job as I have and not know when someone is telling the truth when they say they know nothing."
"Be that as it may she was Anthea's friend, and like it or not Anthea was betrayed."
