hope you find out what happened to Phoebe. I really do.”
“Thanks, Jennifer.”
Zack was either a first rate liar or he really didn’t know what had happened to his wife.
“I must hit the shower. I wish you could join me, Zack.”
He checked his watch and thought about my proposition for a few moments.
“Well, as long as we are quick. Come on then,” he said, hauling me to my feet.
We sprinted to the shower, laughing like a couple of horny teenagers.
Although we didn't make love again, it really was the best shower in the history of showers.
Chapter Ten
After Zack had gone to pick up the twins, I locked my bedroom door and switched on my laptop. I plugged in the memory stick with the files obtained from Zack’s laptop.
Looking over the financial records, I quickly realised that Cole Enterprises were in serious financial trouble. When I compared the records from the previous year, I could see a sharp drop in the profits.
Next I opened the merger file. It was a long document but from what I could understand, it was some sort of make or break bail out. Cole Enterprises looked sure to collapse without it.
I emailed DI Ross the information I had gathered and I told him about the conversations I had had with Zack regarding his wife’s disappearance.
Making some quick notes, I hid my laptop in the bottom of the wardrobe and went downstairs to prepare dinner.
I made a spaghetti carbonara with salad and garlic bread and I was thinking that some nice white wine would go very well with the meal. Zack had told me to help myself to any wine in his cellar that joins onto the laundry so I went downstairs to select a bottle.
I was looking through the extensive shelves of wine and I decided upon a bottle of Chablis.
He really did have an extremely impressive collection.
Zack was an extremely impressive man in many, many ways.
Just as I started to climb back up the stairs, I heard two people talking outside the laundry door that led outside.
“Look Alan, I really think you should come forward and tell the police what you know about that day,” I heard someone say.
I thought that it was Billy from the stables.
“I don’t know, Billy. They will wonder why I left it so long and the police and I don’t exactly have the best relationship.”
“You must tell them. Don’t you wonder what happened to Mrs Cole?”
“She probably had a run in with someone and got what was coming to her. You and I both know what a bitch she was. Remember that time I caught her screwing Carl in the cabana? She threatened me not to say anything and that if I did, I would lose my job.”
“Yes, I remember but I still think you have to tell them.”
“I will think about it, Billy. We better get back to work.”
I headed back up the stairs, intrigued about the conversation. I quickly took out my notebook and jotted down what I heard. I was thinking about trying to get Alan to open up and tell me what he knew but I would need to gain his trust first.
Possibly some flirting could work.
“Jennifer, we are home,” I heard Scarlett shouting as I quickly stashed my notebook in my pocket.
“Hello, Scarlett. Did you have a good day?”
“Hi, Jennifer,” Jasper grinned saucily at me.
“I did and Dad coming for us was a pleasant surprise. We don’t spend nearly enough time with him,” she told me.
“Well, tonight I thought we could have our meal and watch a movie together, my work can just wait,” Zack announced smiling at the twins.
“That sounds great and by the way, Dad, I got 97% on my maths test. That help you gave me paid off!” she told him excitedly.
“Well done, sweetheart,” he replied, hugging her tightly.
“Jasper got 96%!” Scarlett informed us.
“Well done, Jasper!”
Jasper smiled quickly, looking a bit miffed that his sister had beaten him by 1%.
“Can Jennifer join us this evening Dad?” Jasper asked.
“You will have to ask her.”
“I would love to thanks.”
