Chapter 36

Friday

Day thirteen

It was early evening by the time Jon was ready to meet with Trewe with what he thought were good arguments for reactivating a search for Annie Butler. Jon went to the Perrin's Point Police Station, but Trewe was not there. Strange, because he said he would be. He overheard Perstow remark that Trewe was out for blood today.

He entered Perstow's cramped office through the break room where there was another package of chocolate digestives. "Who are you talking to?" he asked Perstow. There was a square-shaped uniformed woman in Perstow's office. Jon read her name tag. "Ah, Mrs. Trethaway, we meet at last."

Perstow stood. "I don't wish to be here when DCI Trewe comes along. I was asked to wait until you arrived and now you're here." The jolly man waved and rushed away.
