Chapter 307: Telling Them

"Things had really quietened down. I hadn't seen him, heard anything from him... I was beginning to feel safer again."

My voice catches on the word safe. I haven't felt truly safe since the moment I got in my car and came back to London, since the moment I ran away from Rick Roderick.

"It's half term. I've got the week off Uni."

DS Kentley nods her head encouragingly.

"I used to go to Thorpe's to see Jarrod, before... everything. So, I thought I'd go to the Conquering Nomad, the new restaurant, and have lunch with him."

"Did anyone know about your plans?"

"No. I didn't tell anyone, just Jarrod." I stop for a second. "We only discussed it the night before."

"What time did Jarrod leave in the morning?"

"Oh, I don't know. He was gone when I woke up. He usually leaves around eight though."

"And you were alone in the apartment until you left?"

"Yeah. I had breakfast, got ready and then left. I decided to walk. It was sunny."
