Chapter 19: CONNOR

We'd spread out over the grassy area above the water's edge. The pier went out about fifty feet, not long by any means, but this little inlet didn't need much more than that.

Leading off to the sides were grassy areas that could do with cutting. At the end was a little wooden building that had been closed since the repairs. There was space underneath where you could walk on the sand if the water wasn't too high, and that's where we concentrated our efforts next.

If anyone were meeting out here for illegal purposes, this would be the best place for them to hide. It was out of sight of anyone coming in either direction and with the absence of any lights, it was more than suitable for a meet.
