Chapter 8
‘Fox-Carnell was at your house?’ asked Stanford.
‘I’m sure she’ll say it was just a coincidence.’ Henley switched to speaker, placed her phone on the coffee table and reached for the last slice of cold pizza.
‘A coincidence? Please. She sought you out.’
‘Of course she did. I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out how she found my address. I’m ex-directory and I’m not on social media.’
‘But Rob is.’
‘He is, but he doesn’t expose our lives on there, it’s just work-related stuff.’
‘Let’s be honest. You can find anyone if you really put your mind to it. All she would need to do is go online, get a copy of the electoral register and Bob’s your uncle, she’s at your front door.’
‘I don’t want her turning up at my house or talking to my child again,’ Henley said angrily. ‘My family has been through enough.’
‘Are you going to tell Rob?’
Luna bought her some time by barking at the sharp whistle of the stormy wind outside.
‘You remember how Rob got when Olivier sent me that …’
The skin on the back of her neck broke out in goosebumps at the memory of a decapitated head being left at her front door. An unwanted gift from a killer making his presence known.
‘It would be easier not to tell him and save myself from another argument about the dangers of my job, but it wouldn’t be right,’ Henley said. She looked down at her hand and saw that her fingertips were slightly stained with pizza sauce.
‘Do you want me to come over,’ Stanford asked his voice filled with concern. ‘Gene won’t mind at all.’
‘No. You don’t need to put yourself out.
’ She dropped the half-eaten pizza slice into the box and closed the lid.
‘Fox-Carnell’s curfew will kick in soon and she’s on tag.
She would be a fool to even think about putting a foot outside her front door.
The alarm is on, I’ve triple checked the doors and windows and Ems is sleeping in my bed. We’re going to be fine.’
‘Even so, I’m going to make a call to Colindale police station and tell them to carry out a doorstep check on Fox-Carnell. In fact, I might just do it myself.’
‘Stanford,’ Henley said sternly. ‘I’m not having you driving across London in this weather. Don’t put yourself out.’
‘I hear you but I’m not making any promises.’
