“After all of this you won’t want to see me again soon I expect.” he grinned. He looked tired, dirty, and dishevelled, but otherwise well.
“Come on let’s get you home for a shower,” so we piled in to the car and headed for home about 15 miles down the road.
“You have heard the rumours going round that it was suicide have you?”
“Y es they tol d me.”
“I think that means we can forget the need to publicise that material in the public interest. The person concerned has paid the ultimate price for his actions.”
“I suppose that is true.”
“Can I use your ‘‘‘phone,” he asked. “ I need to call Rowana. ”
“Oh. So that's her name is it? I couldn't even tell the police her name and address when we were looking for you.”
At home while Adrian was showering I called Lloyd to tell him the news. He said he would like to come out and see Adrian immediately.
I then rang Alec to tell him the good news and said I would not be in for the rest of the day.
A few days later I had decided it was time to take a holiday. I dropped in to Alec and told him that if he could manage without me I planned to take a couple of weeks leave. I would be back before any Dalrymple deal could be finalised. I was going to have a look at the ruins of ancient Egypt out in the desert.
