Breaking Point (Drew Ashley 1) (41 page)

My taxi came and I made my way back to Manchester Victoria, feeling like my world had collapsed on top of me. My phone rang as I boarded the train. "Hello?"

"How are you doing, Drew? This is Dillan."

"Hi Dillan," I said, my heart picking pace. Did he have information for me about the investigation? "I hear you're working on my case."

"I am indeed," Dillan said. "Could you come to my office on Monday? I'd like to go over a few things with you and assign you a bodyguard. We don't know when trouble will strike again, and we have to be ready."

"What time?" I asked.

"I understand that you work full time so we can see you in the evening. Give me your email address. My secretary will email you with the details."

I dictated my email address. When we hung up, I felt optimistic. Dillan wanted to see me. That had to mean that he had news.

As I travelled back to London a plan formed in my mind. I needed to be able to protect myself if whoever was behind Travis' murder and the harassment I'd had struck again. In fact, it'd be great if I could find some evidence that would expose the criminal, because the sooner the felon was apprehended, the better. What if I did some detective work of my own?
