Johnson hadn’t acted like a reporter keen for a story. She’d acted like . . . like someone who already knew what was going on. The book needs to go back to its rightful owners.

Lauren. The CCTV must have started up again as the security system and the locks were turned back on by Jo, and they’d caught Jake and Lauren.
