Chapter 374: I Need More Coffee

Walker's POV:

If I'd hoped that my first day would be amazing and we'd win our first case as a team, I was a fool. Both of our investigations hit a dead end around four and the two teams returned to Scotland Yard feeling dejected.

It turned out that Luke wasn't actually employed by the restaurant that Miss Lolt worked for. It looked like we had found our suspect, except he was missing.

We returned to the hospital to request access to their CCTV and now I'm sifting through hour after hour of footage with none other than DS Kentley.

I sent the others home hours ago but Kentley had been adamant that she was going to get this done tonight and so I'd relented. Both Jackson and Milton had offered to stay with her. Even Stone had been willing even though he wasn't working the case. But I'd sent them all packing, telling them that I would stay.

Their eyes had been wide with surprise. Apparently, DCI Collins had never once opted to do overtime.

"I need more coffee." I rub my eyes.
