„That‟s her! She‟s the one that pulled me off the phone
and ripped my coat. She stinks. She shouldn‟t be allowed …‟
Samantha guessed that Janet had overstepped the mark
in some undercover operation and did not, at first, suspect
that her presence had anything to do with the young girl who
had been attacked.
A woman doctor came and they found a quiet room where
they could attend to the girl. The doctor decided to sedate
both her and the father who was in a state of shock. It was
then that Samantha realized there was a connection between
Janet and the assault victim. She heard her colleagues talk-
ing. They knew Janet and were aware of her reputation for
impulsive action.
„Smoking gun!‟
Everyone agreed.
„Came out with the kid.‟
„You know what she‟s like.‟
„Have you heard what she thinks about sex offenders?‟
They were the crew of a squad car and there could be no
doubt who they were talking about. They‟d responded to an
anonymous call. Someone had been assaulted in the old Na-
tional Archives. They‟d arrived then wasted time trying to
find an entrance. While they were searching, Janet had ap-
peared, half-carrying, half-dragging the distraught girl. Both
were covered in blood. Then they spoke about the body. Sa-
mantha could only share their suspicions … Janet had hugely
overstepped the mark this time.
