Inspector Rockwell at Condover |

|
The first house held nothing at all. Susan had been lying, as I expected |

|
The next house - Condover - was where she had suggested I may find out more about the "A-frame" project and Doctor Universalis |

|
They would have a good view over the bay from here, I thought |

|
The place was deserted. But the plants were still alive, which suggested that someone had been here up until the last few days |

|
Yes - the view was tremendous! This would have been just the kind of place for them |

|
Back in Roseisle, I decided to try the company again - after hours - to see who worked late and what happened there |

|
As I turned the corner I caught sight of Robin Winks just leaving. I waited until he had driven away |

|
The loading-bay door was still open, and someone was still there. I decided to watch |

|
It was Susan. I followed her car, but only until I realised she was returning to the coast |

|
It was coming on evening now |

|
Time to go back for another look? |

|
I decided to wait another half-hour - I had to eat. It was a mistake |

|
Soon, it would be dark. I knew by now that I should have gone straight back |
