be doing Don a favor then. Betty treats him terribly.”
“Still, he could actually love her, Paul. You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. She could have a heart of gold underneath all that bitterness.”
Paul laughed.
“I very much doubt it, but if she still cares for Don and he’s innocent, she’ll forgive him. Anyway, I think the police have to be told everything.”
“You’re right, but I don’t know that much,” Kevin agreed reluctantly. “But I suppose the sooner I do it, the better. Paul, will you stay here in case Justin gets up? I presume he did get some sleep. I didn’t want to disturb him.”
“Of course. You go off to the police station and I’ll sort out breakfast.”
Kevin got up unenthusiastically, dreading having to tell the police about Lucy having an affair. He was very much a proud man and didn’t like appearing a cuckold. It was fine for him to have had a one night stand with Jennifer Anderson the previous year, but how dare Lucy have an affair? Kevin decided there and then that he was going to find out who the man was, and the sooner the better.

A few hours later, Detective Chief Inspector Dimitris Kastrinakis could be seen with his head in his hands. His assistant, Stavros, was reluctant to disturb him. There had been a constant flow of English people coming in to see Dimitris and as each person came out of his office; he looked more and more stressed.
The first person to arrive had been Kevin Fowler which had surprised Dimitris as it was very early. He had planned to go to Kevin’s house a little later to collect him to identify his wife’s body.
“Mr. Fowler, I was going to come to your house to speak with you later this morning. I’m afraid there hasn’t been any progress yet in the case of your wife’s murder. You do need to identify her body, but she isn’t here of course.”
Kevin was a little shocked at the officer’s bluntness, but put it down to the fact that he was foreign; completely dismissing the reality which was that he was the foreigner in the country, not Dimitris.
Prior to his visit, Kevin had decided that he would try to be as polite as possible. He didn’t want to antagonize the police, partly because he feared that he was a suspect, and also because he wanted the police to find the real culprit as soon as possible so that he could get on with his life.
“Actually my son, Justin, wants to identify his mother. I tried to dissuade him, but he’s determined to see her one last time. I have something else to tell you........Oh God.... this is a bit hard for me to put into words....”
Dimitris Kastrinakis was surprised that Kevin Fowler was struggling to say something. Did he have some important information about his wife’s murder?
“Take your time, sir,” Dimitris said. “If this is about the murder, I will have to get another officer in to write this down anyway.”
The inspector was getting a horrible feeling. There had been complications surrounding the previous murders and this obviously wasn’t going to be a straightforward case either.
“It’s about Lucy,” Kevin said and waited a moment while Dimitris called Stavros in.
“I’ll just come out with it then,” Kevin blurted out a few moments later when the other police officer had sat down. “I’m ashamed to say that my wife was having an affair. I’m not certain who with, although I have my suspicions.”
Dimitris raised his eyebrows. This was certainly quite a twist; if it was the truth of course. Kevin could be trying to switch the blame onto someone else. Dimitris found it quite hard to imagine Lucy Fowler having an affair, remembering that she was not exactly a beautiful woman.
“And who do you suspect, sir?” Dimitris asked, his facial expression not changing one bit, despite his doubts.
“Well, I’ve thought long and hard and I could be completely wrong, but the most likely person is Don Jones. He and Lucy were spending a lot of time together.
“Still, he could actually love her, Paul. You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. She could have a heart of gold underneath all that bitterness.”
Paul laughed.
“I very much doubt it, but if she still cares for Don and he’s innocent, she’ll forgive him. Anyway, I think the police have to be told everything.”
