Temple arrived there just in time to catch the 2 p.m. train to Victoria. There was plenty of room in the second-class carriage. He took off his overcoat, placed it on the empty seat next to him, and settled down for the eighty minute journey to London. He intended to make use of the time by reading through his notes and checking his emails, but first he phoned the hospital to speak to Angel.Her bedside phone was answered by a nurse who told him that Angel was sleeping, but that he shouldn’t worry because she was making good progress. He left a message that he’d call later and then tapped the mail icon on his phone. He had two dozen emails, mainly from members of his team who had been told to copy him in on all correspondence. There were also messages from the Scientific Services Department with forensic reports attached.The Chief Super had forwarded a note from Vickery about the task-force meeting and a list of the people who were going to attend. They included officers from Surrey Police and the Counter-Terrorism Command, as well as representatives from the Home Office and Highways Agency.
