Chapter 16
MI5. Thames House Westminster London.
11:46 am. Monday 22th June 2015.
Dave Slater joined Mr Jones and DCI Eden in the office not realising that they had already been chatting for a couple of hours, about his character and history.
Mr Jones asked him to take a seat and started the conversation explaining that he wanted to know if there was a connection between both the murders that Dave was involved with.
He had been through a few rough nights without sleep, wondering if MI5 was also involved. For security reasons, he had to find out. Just in case it was to escalate up to another level. Adding that maybe the connection was not via Dave but via MI5. A hush fell on the room, as they all looked at each other.
Being the only person in the room that was directly connected with both murders. Dave was first to speak, the last thing he needed now was another stint in prison, for something he had not committed. Now, he was free and wanted to stay that way.
They started to add little snippets of information, hoping to build up a picture that might explain a connection if in fact there was one. Or was it just a Coincidence.
Eden could only answer questions on what he had been involved in, that of the arrest of Dave at Clive Manning’s house. However, since then he had been checking out other information, hoping that he might be able to unravel the situation further. Although he had come up with one big blank.
Dave was asked if he had any other ideas, and shook his head, but added,
“I did not even know there was anybody in the house, be it owner or murderer?”
Mr Jones interrupted,
“On both occasions Dave, you were working for me, but I can’t find a connection.”
“Let’s go through it again.”
“How did you meet up with Susan Darcy, and the run up to her murder.”
