  As he lowered his camera and walked towards Addison and Rachel, he slowly tuned into their terse conversation.

  ‘Is this place not supposed to be locked up at night?’ she was asking him.

  ‘It is, but there’s always a way in,’ he replied. ‘You can’t keep people out of a place like this if they’re determined enough.’

  ‘Yes, but surely they can be kept out if they’re carrying a body,’ Narey countered. ‘I don’t see how he could have slipped through or over railings if he had to carry her as well.’

  ‘The same thing occurred to me,’ Addison agreed. ‘Unless she walked in here alive.’

  Narey shook her head.

  ‘You’re thinking like a man. I don’t scare easy but I don’t think I’d be in a hurry to go into the creepiest place in Glasgow in the middle of the night. Not with someone capable of murder.’

  Addison shrugged. ‘Well, maybe some girls are a bit more adventurous,’ he answered, a sly smile playing across his lips.

  ‘But you’re probably right. I have a fair bit of experience of persuading young ladies to do odd things but I can’t think of too many who’d be keen on coming in here in the dark.’

  A sudden voice from behind them cut off Narey’s sarcastic response.

  ‘Detective Inspector?’

  Cat Fitzpatrick had turned to face them.

  ‘You better see this.’

  As they looked, the pathologist began to slowly ease up the young woman’s top, exposing the pale flesh of her midriff. As Fitzpatrick pulled up the material, the other cops crowded in to see what she had discovered.

  Inch by inch, she revealed daubs of bright red on the woman’s stomach and it slowly dawned on them that the scarlet marks were forming words.

  With an unconscious flourish, Fitzpatrick stood back to let them see properly, one gloved hand still holding the top just below the girl’s chest.

  Some of the cops muttered darkly, someone let out a gasp, Addison swore and Winter lifted his camera.

  Written in a heavy hand was a single word.
