"Can you give us a time around when he started to grow distant?" Simon asks.

Nicole thinks, 'I'm not particularly close to Lindsay, we probably haven't talked in the phone for a month or so, maybe we exchanged emails a few weeks ago.'
'As for when dad became more distant, maybe I've overemphasised it, but we just haven't talked as much the last few weeks and I haven't heard from him the last few days.'

Kris glanced at his watch and stifled a yawn. ”Did Lindsay raise any concerns about your father?” he asked.

'Like I said, I don't think they're particularly close anymore, I don't remember her mentioning him.'

Kris looked at the others to see if they had any further questions.

"I have no more questions at this time," says Jocelyn. "Thank you for your help, Mrs. Brown."

Re: IC - 8 - The Daughter - Everyone
Kris thanked Nicole Brown for her time, commiserating her again on the loss of her father and asking her to get in touch if anything else occurred to her that might be useful.
He lead the others out to the car. He glanced at his watch and said, “The niece and the cafe. The latter won’t be open for a few hours but we could go see the niece now?”

"Yes, let's go see her now," says Jocelyn. "I can keep going at least that long."

"As can I. Meanwhile, I'll get a start on this text Balfour wrote, see if I can gleam anything Lewiston found important in it."

Outside the Browns' house, DS Bates says 'I'm heading back to the station to brief DI Marlow; PC Holmes will drive me and we'll sort out that cat.'
She looks directly at Kris, 'Careful with this Lindsay Peale, we don't have any evidence she's involved and we don't have a search warrant, by the book okay?'
As she walks off she says 'I'll be on the phone, stay off the radio'.

Jocelyn will offer to ride shotgun, and she recommends that lights and sirens be turned off before they get close to the house.

Re: IC - 8 - The Daughter - Everyone
Kris drives slowly away from Nicole Brown’s but once he’s out into open countryside, he picks up speed. The roads are quiet and he’s driven them many times and the blue lights are on warn anyone of their approach.
He checks his mirror to make sure Burke and the AFOs are on his tail, then looks around at the fields, blue-strobe lit in the darkness. Looking back to the road, he said to Jocelyn and Simon, ”So, what do you think is behind this? It seems strange that a kidnapper would snatch a child, then kill himself after she was handed over. Almost as if he wasn’t in control of his actions...”

"Maybe he was brainwashed," suggests Jocelyn. "He's apparently spent the last few years infiltrating the Church of the Passover Angel, which sure looks like an apocalyptic cult to me. Some of that indoctrination had to have rubbed off on him. Still, Balfour founded and runs it, so I doubt he wanted Lewiston to abduct his daughter. Lewiston seemed to still have been following his self-appointed mission, whatever that was."

Re: IC - 8 - The Daughter - Everyone
Simon notes the missing passage. He makes a note to research it further, gain an understanding of interpretations of it. That could explain what Balfour was omitting from his particular cult.
"Hmm?" He says, barely hearing the question. "Oh, I don't know about control, so to speak. He attempted to take the backpack, as well as had supplies to care for the girl for some time, suggesting in his own way he was concerned for her. Fanatical approach, of course. Perhaps he saw the Balfours as abusive in some way, though I did not get that impression in my brief conversation with John Balfour. Someone should consult with his former colleagues, learn if he ever spoke of the church or an enmity towards it.
"We also have to consider why he did not run when he had the chance; that is what troubles me about all of this. He went to all the trouble of hiding his identity; he had to know we'd be able to identify him sooner or later. He had to have enough tactical knowledge to understand it was better to flee. Did he perhaps possess some degree of self loathing and want to die? As for his co conspirator, indoctrinating someone else can be a tricky process. Perhaps she belonged to the church as well. Too early to say I'm afraid."

Re: IC - 8 - The Daughter - Everyone
The A4010 is an unlit rural road, quite uneven, winding in an undulating route over hills and dips. Kris presses on in the dark, headlights illuminating a small patch of road in front.
Simon is reading in the back with the light on, there is no moon or stars visible in the night sky. The darkness presses in around the car. The blue lights of the ARV just visible through the rear window.
Kris blinks...
