‘Carol’s great. Really involved. Treats the school like family. She should be here this afternoon, actually.’ Jenny raised a hand to her mouth. ‘Oh my God, has something happened to her?’
‘No. We spoke to Carol this morning. We just wanted to confirm whether she was working last year around the twenty-first of June.’
‘She’s had quite a bit of time off recently. I’m sure we can check.’
Jenny got up from her desk and went through to the admin area. A couple of minutes later she was back with a large hardback record book.
‘As I say, she was ill at the start of this year, fell down the stairs at home and broke an arm, but last year …’ Jenny paused, fingers turning pages in the book. ‘Of course! Yes, she was working all through that week.’
‘You sure? There can be no mistake?’
‘No.’ Jenny closed the book. ‘Might I know why you’re asking? Is it for an alibi of some kind?’
‘I’m sorry,’ Savage said. ‘I can’t disclose that. What time does Carol usually work to … I mean, does she stay on at the end of the school day?’
‘She might if there is a staff meeting or something. For instance today many of us will stay behind afterwards clearing up. Usually we’ll be out of here by four.’
Savage nodded and turned to Calter. The DC made a mark in her notebook and then looked up at Savage as if to say ‘I told you so.’
‘OK, thank you, Jenny.’ Savage stood up and offered a hand.
‘But …’ Jenny glanced at Calter and then back to Savage. ‘I thought you might … perhaps …’
‘Yes?’
‘The husband. He … I don’t know how to say it. Maybe I’m being silly, Carol’s life is really none of my business, is it?’
‘This kind of thing is all of our business. I can tell you we’re aware of Carol’s domestic issues, but we can’t do anything until she makes a complaint.’
‘So the alibi wasn’t for Carol. It was for him.’
