jump to
conclusions but what other explanation was there?
    The police arrived in record time; there probably weren’t
many buried bodies around rural Cheshire. The clean-up operation was going to
take some time; forensics didn’t have much to go on as after so many years the
body was skeletal. Dental records for her mother had been sent for; it seemed
the police had the same thoughts as Eve. They only briefly chatted with her as
she was a child when this occurred and her father was dead so there wasn’t
anything Eve could add.
    An examination of the bones would not show cause of death
and the only potential suspect was now dead. Detective Newton who was in charge
didn’t think the case would take long to sew up. Just then Tara pulled up on
the front and looked horrified at all the activity. Eve wandered over to escort
her safely to the house filling her in on the way.
    “Oh my God Eve, your mother, perhaps that is why she never
came for you, maybe she was killed because she wanted to come and get you” Eve
hadn’t thought of that, her mother may have died for her or because of her.
There was also the conversation she overheard as a child maybe it was the man
they all seemed scared of. There was no point telling the officer about that,
she was a child and only recalled snippets anyway. Tara helped brew up for the
officers and it was almost dark before the place was finally silent and empty
again. Just some yellow crime scene tape across the garage remained of the last
few hours of stress.
    Eve’s mind returned to the unexplained urge to vomit, it had
coincided with her mum being discovered. She however decided not to mention it;
talking to Tara about the paranormal could go on all night. It was a strange
moment and she had experienced a few of those since moving in. They ordered a
Chinese takeaway and sat with the kitten while they waited for food. Eve’s
phone vibrated, she didn’t recognise the number strange only Sally had her new
number.
    “Hello?” Eve’s heart raced as she recognised the voice at
the other end, she squeaked out a reply.
    “Eve lovely to hear your voice, I have missed you. Were you
trying to get rid of me once and for all by changing your number? I had to drag
it out of Christopher.” Eve wondered how Christopher had it; her agent must
have passed it on. She felt a flicker of excitement he must want to work with
her again. She almost forgot Nathan was there, until he cleared his throat.
    “Sorry Nathan, no it wasn’t you I wanted to get rid of, it
was your stalker. Somehow she got hold of my number. She sent me roughly
seventy messages and texts including some delightful insults and a death
threat!  Frankly you should keep your phone safe rather than allow the first
girl you bump into after me to get her hands on it” Nathan was silent
    “Eve I am so sorry she threatened you, what else did she
say?” When Eve had repeated some of the messages she heard Nathan stomping
round his room.
    “Can I just clear one thing up, and that is that she wasn’t
in my bed. She was in fact stalking me at the airport; she snatched my phone to
wind me up, and took it into the ladies. She must have looked through my
numbers and seen my texts to you and panicked”  Eve was wondering why this girl
was such a problem and hadn’t been dealt with by his security.
    “I am so sorry, I do my best to avoid her but she is like
the proverbial boomerang. Unfortunately she just keeps coming back, despite my
attempts to get rid of her.” Eve sort of felt sorry for the poor girl, but no
not really, not after the messages she sent.
    “Make sure you keep my number safe, I am not happy
Christopher gave it to you at all. I have enough going on here at the moment”
    “Where are you? I went to Altrincham to find you, but you
had gone. Your neighbours had no forwarding details or even knew if you were
still in the UK. Obviously I wasn’t going to rest until I found you so
Christopher helped me out. He only gave me
