The Boudicca Parchments

Chapter 43

The incident room was a hive of activity when the report came through. The young WPC saw it on her computer and realized instantly what it was. With a click of the mouse, she sent it to the printer. And then got up from her desk and walked a few feet to retrieve it. There were maybe half a dozen computers in the room. But they all shared one laser printer.

She scooped it up from the printer’s Out tray and carried it over to the corner of the room where DCI Vincent was working.

“Sir we’ve got a trace on that call to Julia Sasson’s phone.”

The WPC handed the printout to the Chief Inspector.

“Great!” said the DCI, bristling with enthusiasm. “Let’s pay our friend Daniel Klein a visit.”

The WPC squirmed with embarrassment.

“I didn’t explain very well Sir. It’s not actually the full address.”

Vincent looked up, irritably.

“What do you mean?”

“The phone doesn’t have GPS. They could only trace it by the ground stations. They’ve go an approximate address but not an exact one.”

Vincent looked at the printout annoyed. It showed the area and explained the degree of accuracy. That meant they would have to search several streets.
