18. The police station
Detective Smith and James take the picture to the police station and put it in Detective Smith’s office. While they are there, Peter knocks on the door; he has some news about the telephone number that was used to call James.
Peter: I have good news and bad news.
Laura: The good first, then I’ll deal with the problems.
Peter: Ok. The good news is that I found out quite a lot about the phone number. It belongs to Vodafone, one of the SIMs they sell in the shops. I know they normally ask for a document or passport number to sell them, but the company told me that there is no record of sale for this SIM, so it must have been stolen.
Laura: I thought so. What about the call log? Could they identify any call from this number?
Peter: Yes, they identified two calls. One of the calls was made to Jake, and the other… That’s the bad news.
Laura: To whom was the second call made?
Peter: A protected number.
