‘Is my wife at your place?’ asked an agitated voice.
Yes, Derek, she is with us and drunk.
‘Why is Carol drunk this time of day? Put her on the phone.’ Jack handed his mobile to Carol, who was on the verge of tears, not knowing if she was going to tell her husband what had happened to her.
‘I’m worried sick. Why have you not answered the phone, Carol?’ asked her husband, Derek.
‘I lost it,’ said Carol.
Lost it! How can you lose it? It is always stuck to your ear……

After the phone call with her husband, Carol continued speaking to Jack.
‘I intend to make the serial killer feel like he is out of control, and feel the pain,’ said Carol.
Listen to me carefully, Carol, if he is not out of here by the weekend, I am going to call the cops.
All in good time, Jack, he will pay for what he has done.
You have not told your husband about how you captured an alleged serial killer, have you?
I will tell Derek when I am ready. I will deal with the serial killer before the cops get to find out what is happening, and you will not get caught with him here.
