  Han Trafford’s House

  Thursday 22nd October

  10.12 a.m.

 

  James returned home after a fruitless trip to both Badock’s Wood and Howie Doyle’s flat. He marched into the lounge where his father stood in front of the bay window.

  “Any luck?”

  “No. Mr Garraway’s car is still parked where it was last night. It’s not moved from the entrance of the woods. I’ve been to Howie’s place and he’s not there. His car’s in the drive and there’s a White Arosa blocking him in.”

  “He’s probably at work,” said Han, in a reassuring tone.

  “How could he get there? His car’s blocked in?”

  “Perhaps he’s taken the bus.”

  James shook his head.

  “No. Something’s wrong, something’s very, very wrong. Something must have happened to them in the woods. I think we should notify the police.”

  “Don’t be too hasty. Why don’t you call the school and ask whether Howie’s there, and while you’re at it ask if Mr Garraway’s in work today.”

 

  Five minutes later James ended the call and put down his phone.

  “What did they say?”

  “They said Mr Garraway’s not due in today, he only works part-time.”

  “What about Howie?”

  “He hasn’t turned up. Dad, it’s gone ten o’ clock, he’s not there and he hasn’t called in sick. I’m calling the police.”
