Angela blew out a shaky breath. “I just wanted you, Mum and Dad to be aware that Robert could already know where I am. What he chooses to do about it, none of us knows.” She paused. “We’ve just got to hope he won’t be angry enough to land himself back in prison for longer than he could’ve dreamed of.”
“So, you’ve told this inspector everything, right?”

She’d curled her fingers around the steering wheel, silently begging God to make DI Garrett leave before everything came spilling out. Her gaze was so much like her brother’s; Angela had felt herself weakening. She just hoped she didn’t see Chris again—the potential for disaster was wide-open.
She closed her eyes. “There’s more, Ellie.”
“More?”
“I told someone Robert will kill me. After all this time, it just slipped out.”
“Who? Who did you tell?”
“Her brother.”
“Her brother? Whose? The inspector’s?”
“Yes.”
“But how? You’re so careful. How could you tell the inspector’s brother? Was he with her at the station? Who is he?”
Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
