He was awoken by a gentle knock at the door. He answered to see Imogen standing in front of him. She didn’t look particularly happy. He walked through to the lounge and she followed.
‘What’s going on?’ he asked.
‘You know how it is. I fucking hate looking through CCTV, it’s so dull. Can I get a drink?’
‘Sure. You didn’t find anything then?’ He picked up a beer and opened it before handing it to her.
‘The bank was closed and so we have to wait ’til morning to get the footage from the cashpoint. Gary phoned the twenty-four-hour helpline, but they said there was nothing they could do from there, that it was an onsite digital recording and there was no way of accessing it remotely.’
‘Thanks for trying.’
‘Don’t be silly,’ she said, rolling her eyes.
‘You seem angry. What else is going on?’ Adrian said.
‘This is just bullshit, Adrian. I hate it.’
‘How do you think I feel?’ Adrian asked.
‘I hate everything about it. I hate thinking she’s a liar, I hate knowing for sure she is a liar. Because what if one day some other poor woman comes in and says she was raped, and I decide that I know for sure that she’s lying too? Who the fuck am I to be able to decide that? Without evidence, just a decision I have made.’ She took a long swig.
‘I don’t understand,’ Adrian said. He wasn’t lying; was Imogen saying that she didn’t want to believe him or that she wished Caitlin was telling the truth?
‘I thought I would be able to be objective!’ Imogen replied, more animated than he had ever seen her before.
