‘Well, DS Miles, I think you are probably going to have a few questions to answer as soon as the press learn your name. It’s always great to have some good PR for a change and so it would be nice if you would issue a statement, even nicer if we had any good news with regard to Jane Doe’s progress.’

‘Do I have to?’ Adrian said.

‘It’s better if you do, then it’s over and you can get on with things. Trust me, I learned this lesson a long time ago. If you cooperate then you control what information they get hold of. They are going to talk about you anyway,’ DCI Kapoor said.

‘Are we going to give them a picture of the woman’s face? Like a proper one. You can’t see who she is in this video. It might help us to identify her,’ Adrian said.

‘I think we should get an ID on the man first. Until we know the circumstances of this attack then I don’t want to risk it. She could still be in danger and I don’t want to advertise her location at the moment. It’s annoying that this video is out there; it makes our job a little harder by forcing us to deal with the bloody newspapers,’ Kapoor said. ‘Let’s just give the press a statement for now.’

‘Fine,’ Adrian said.

‘I’ll set something up. You never know, maybe someone saw something and we might even get a lead out of this. You’re unusually quiet, DS Grey,’ Kapoor added.

‘Sorry, Ma’am. I can give Gary a hand checking out missing persons in other constabularies,’ Imogen said.

‘OK, then. When you’re done, could you check with the pathologist for any updates on the autopsy of John Doe?’

‘Of course.’

The DCI picked up her mug and left the room. Gary put the video on again.

‘Look at those strong arms and that pretty face. The press are going to love you, don’t you think, Grey?’

‘Irresistible,’ she said flatly, standing and turning to Gary. ‘I’ll meet you in your office so we can go through the missing persons files.’

Adrian couldn’t tell if she was upset. What could she possibly be annoyed with him about? Gary took the hint by shutting his laptop and leaving.

‘Is everything all right?’ Adrian asked as they left the room.

‘You tell me.’

‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’

‘I’m just concerned that you are too emotionally involved in this case already. That must have been tough, finding her, pulling her out of the river like that.’ Imogen’s voice softened.

‘It’s not something I particularly want to experience again. It was horrible.’

‘Do you think maybe you should go and see the counsellor? Might be good to talk it through properly.’

‘No, thanks. I just want to find out what happened.’
