Eleanor brought out a packet of shortbread biscuits from the kitchen.
Jason was on his fourth when his phone rang. He looked at the screen. “It's Lou,�? he said. “What's happening?�? he asked after he'd flipped the phone open.
“Cody's gone missing!�?
“What!�?
“Yeah. I dropped him off at his house. I dunno. I had bad feeling. The killer called me from Cody's phone ...�?
“... Jesus!�?
“So I called Colin—the policeman at Macedon police station—and told him and then I started thinking and thought what if Cody's wife throws him out and then I realised he wouldn't be able to phone me, without a phone. I mean, I know there are call boxes but not that many in this area. So I went and waiting just outside his house, I mean, not right outside but one house down where he could see the car but I waited and waited and no one came out and so I rang his house ...�?
“... you had his home number?�?
“Yeah, he gave it to me this morning. Anyway, his wife answered and said 'he doesn't live here any more' then started in on me and
asked me who I was then told me never to phone again. She was very upset.�?
asked me who I was then told me never to phone again. She was very upset.�?

“Anyway, I'm going to drive round the streets here and look for him. I'm worried, Jace. I'm afraid ….�?
“Where are you? Key and I are going to come and help look.�?
“You haven't met him, have you? So you don't know what he looks like.�?
“We can still look for blond guys wandering around. And you know what he's wearing, don't you? Where'll we meet you?�?
