The name was a common
one. They went through six pages of
photos before Cody suggested that the put in the name as well as “St
Joseph’s”.
“That’s him!” exclaimed
Cody while they were scrolling through the results on the second page. “I’m sure of it.”
A middle-aged man. Slim.
Grey hair. Quite
ordinary-looking. Smiling for the
camera.
Colin pressed ‘print’.
“What do we do now?” asked
Luigi.
“You do nothing. He’s
dangerous. Only the police should
approach him. “
“He’s dangerous to you
too,” pointed out Cody.
“Yeah. But we’re trained for it. And it’s our job. Mates . . . this man is a killer. He’s already killed how many? Five?
Six?”
“There are five murders
attributed to the Mount Macedon killer.”
“That we know of,” said
Colin grimly. “Serial killers—well, so
our instructor said—usually escalate their actions. Either by doing it more often or by being
more vicious each time. Or both. You escaped,” he said, turning to Cody, “so
he must be very frustrated. He may even
now be picking a new victim.” He was
silent for a moment or two. Then he
said, “I’m going to make this official now.
I’m going to put in a report that you saw him and reported it to me and
that I did some work and found him. And none of us is going to mention that you
two know his name, OK?” He stared at
them waiting for them to answer.
“Will the ‘tecs do
something now?”
“They’ll hafta. This is good evidence and a good lead. They’ll probly contact you to get more
details.”
“What shall I say?”
“Always stick as close as
possible to the truth. It’s easiest that
way.” His smile was cynical.
“Right,” answered Cody,
his own expression equally wry. “So, in
other words, I saw him and phoned you and none of this happened.”
Colin nodded.
