‘Do it, Bella.’ Terry James shrugged. ‘We have nothing to hide. Just the names and addresses won’t hurt.’

‘Well, if you think so, dear. I’ll get them.’

A few minutes later both she and Cat returned to the room.

‘Here they are, Officer.’ Bella James passed a sheaf of papers to Joseph. ‘But I’d appreciate that they were destroyed once you’ve looked at them.’

‘Of course, and thank you.’

‘Are we through, DC Cullen?’ asked Nikki, rather icily.

‘I’ve seen everything I need to, ma’am.’

Nikki noticed a look of something like excitement on Cat’s face, but whatever the detective had unearthed, she clearly did not want to share it with the James family.

‘Then we are sorry to have taken up your time,’ said Nikki with a fake smile. ‘You’ve been most helpful. If we need anything else we’ll be in contact.’

Back in the car, Nikki turned to Cat. ‘Okay, spill the beans.’

‘I think I know what’s happened, ma’am. I saw this with another case, a paedo ring that we busted.’

‘Then share it with us, for heaven’s sake!’

‘Have you heard of an evil twin?’

‘No. And try to use English when you explain what the hell you are talking about.’ said Nikki impatiently.

Cat rubbed her temples. ‘Right, well, we’re talking cyber crime, right? Now, most people use wi-fi, that’s wireless high speed net, and that needs a hotspot to—’

‘Lost! I said English!’

‘It’s like this. The evil twin poses as a real hotspot, and when you use your computer, it steals your information, all your personal stuff, everything.’

‘Right. I get that, but how does it fit in with Terry James and the Lyco computer game?’

‘There’s another scam, just like the one that I was telling you about, but the cyber thief steals your domain. If he’s done something that he doesn’t want traced, he uses the stolen domain, and the shit lands on your head, not his!’ Cat shook her head. ‘One of those two computers has been hacked into by Lyco. There’s nothing more scary on the James’s hard drive than a game of Spider Solitaire.’

‘Great, another dead end.’

‘Maybe not.’ Cat grinned. ‘If I ask the IT section to help me, I think I can still track Lyco. That’s unless Sergeant Easter feels like leaning on Graffiti Boy, the one who gave him the lead in the first place.’

‘I don’t think Petey Redfield would have a clue who Lyco was. I’m sure it’s just a dirty game that one of the gang stumbled on, and now everyone wants to play it,’ said Joseph.

‘Then we go down the IT route. Cat, get on to it as soon as we get—’ Nikki’s phone interrupted her. ‘Hello, DI Galena here.’

‘Sorry to bother you, Inspector, but it’s Sister O’Keefe from Greenborough ITU.’
