Victim: Miss Becky James
Becky – Miss James to her pupils – has had a run of bad luck over the last week: The arson attack on her classroom; falling out with Jimmy Ryan who she was helping to get into art school; kind of liking PC Nate Roberts attention and then standing him up on a date as she realised he’s not her type of guy; having her classroom broken into and, on the same night, her home was broken into and she was savagely attacked trying to defend herself and her property. Something has to give.
Luckily, she regained consciousness and helped the investigation by identifying her attacker on the police laptop that displayed key suspects.
Her attacker, Marcus Bentley, was arrested, but he was only a hired hand sent, by someone Marcus didn’t name, to break into Becky’s home.
Marcus was paid to steal Becky’s laptop. Whatever’s on it, nearly got her killed. There could be a clue on the PC to who was behind aggravated burglary…
