Detective Sergeant James Rutledge and Detective Constable David Grahams made a good team. Between them they had nearly twenty years’ experience and three each on this squad working for Detective Inspector Jack Hooper.
“Something’s not right about him Dave.”
“I know what you mean but he’s checked out OK, so far.”
“He’s the right height, shape, colour.”
“Different hair though.”
“We need to check that alibi and check Mr Slater a bit more. Try and get the taxi driver to be more precise, or get another witness from the tube. You go back to base. I’ll stay here.”
“What about the girl?”
“OK check her movements more, see if anyone else shows up from the tube CCTV, and see where we’ve got on any other CCTV. There must be some other coverage. How many have we got on film?”
“On the tube?”
“Yes”
“We had five, two were black, which we’ve put on the back burner because of the previous description, that old bloke Potter, and we’re left with two. One might be Slater and then Mr X.”
