Re: IC - 9 - The Niece - Everyone
Kris signalled to Simon to keep an eye on the door while he went to check on Jocelyn.
”Let me check,” he said to DS Bates as he headed down the corridor and out to the car park. He called over to Jocelyn, “Any lights on in the flat?”

Simon keeps watch, though he's not really expecting much. He suspects Lindsay has long fled. Now it was just a matter of tracking her down.

"The lights are out in 3, but on in 4 and 6," says Jocelyn. "Her car's gone too, which further suggests she isn't home."

”No lights and no car,” said Kris, with a wave of acknowledgement to Jocelyn. “It doesn’t look like she’s here, Lucy.”

'Okay, give me an hour' says Bates. 'I'll join you at the apartment and bring the warrant with me. Time to go and wake up the magistrate.'
Looking outside the team can see the flashing blue lights of the ARV arrive outside the apartment complex and Burke gets out the car accompanied by a uniformed officer.

Kris glanced at his watch, yawned and thought about getting some kip in the car, but he knew he wouldn’t get any sleep with his colleagues around.
He looked up at the windows of the flats, noting where the curtains were twitching under the blue strobe of the police lights. He read off the flat numbers to Burke and the PC. “They’re awake so let’s go and knock on a few doors. See if we can’t find out anything else about Lindsay Peale. We’ve got about an hour until DS Bates turns up, so you might as well make yourselves useful!”

"I can help with the interviews too," says Jocelyn.

Flat 4 is where the woman opposite Lindsay's flat lives. Knocking at Flat 6 on the second floor brings a bleary eyed man in his late twenties to the door, 'Hi, uh, yeah, what do you want? he says guardedly.

Kris showed the man his warrant card. “DC Sapru, Thames Valley CID,” he introduced himself. “We are looking for one of your neighbours, Miss Peale, who lives at flat number four. Have you seen her recently?”

'Uh, Lindsay? Sorry, don't think I know her, can't help you I'm afraid...' and he starts to close the door.

Kris put his foot in the door to prevent the door from closing. ”Really?” he said, his face impassive and with a serious tone of voice. “Strangely enough, that’s not the vibe you’re giving off. So, let’s try again. I’m looking for Lindsay Peale - who you clearly know - so when did you last see her?”

Kris sensed the guy’s defences were up so he made a conscious effort to relax his shoulders. ”Look, fella,” he said in a more conciliatory tone. “We’ve got a young girl who’s gone missing. She’ll be frightening and her parents are worried sick. I just need to find Lindsay to see if she can help us, so if you can help me find her, it will be better for everyone.”

The man's eyes widen as Kris pushes open his door, he backs away looking panicky, 'Eh, uh, yeah, no, look, okay, I know Lindsay alright. We sometimes, you know, hang out, smoke a joint and stuff. I haven't seen her since yesterday.'
Hearing Kris's more conciliatory tone he adds, 'Look, Lindsay's a good person, she wouldn't do anything wrong, believe me.'

”Have you seen her hanging around with anyone lately?” asked Kris.

'Nah, not really, she was always busy with work, not sure she had many other friends to be honest. Me and her had a...an understanding, we spent a bit of time together.' He looks a bit more thoughtful, or at least as thoughtful as a man wearing just his pants in the early hours of the morning can. 'She seemed a bit more stressed recently, last few weeks, wouldn't say why, just work.'

"Did she ever mention a place she might have gone to get away from it all?" Simon adds. "I'm sure you have her cell number, would you mind giving her a call for us?" He doubted Lindsay still had her phone, but if she did, chances were she'd pick up for her friend as opposed to an unknown number.
