‘Did she spend a lot of time at the
computer?’ Imogen asked. ‘She was always on her mobile – like I said, she was practically
glued to it. She had a laptop though. Did you not find that either?’
There was a short silence; they hadn’t
found it.
‘OK,
well thank you for coming in and speaking to us, Sarah. We’ll get in touch with
you if we need to talk about anything else. Is that OK?’ Adrian stood up and
held his hand out for her to shake it.
‘What’s the point?’ She stood up, looked
at his hand without taking it and turned to leave the room. Adrian put his hand
on her shoulder, she turned back to him.
‘I lost someone I cared about recently
too.’ Adrian felt Imogen’s eyes burning into him as he spoke to Sarah Lawson,
but he needed to say the words, he needed to get this out.
‘I know how you feel, I know you want her
back more than anything, and if we could do that
we would. We can’t. All we can do is
make sure the person who did this to her doesn’t get away with it. She was
important and what happened to her shouldn’t have happened. Help us to honour
her memory by putting the man who did this behind bars.’
