And in case anyone’s wondering, we didn’t rig this process in any way. We simply put Jonah’s photo through the programme, and this is what came out.

MITCHELL CLARKE

That’s incredible.

LAILA FURNESS

I agree – it looks like you really did ‘get your man’, JJ.

HUGO FRASER

So what happens next?

JJ NORTON

Well, I’ve reached out to the Canadian police and they’re going to liaise with NYPD to see if we can link the Jonah McKenna who went missing in Nova Scotia in 1991 to the ‘Eric Fulton’ who stole Rose Shulman’s money in 1995.

BILL SERAFINI

(frowning)

You looped in NYPD and you didn’t tell me?

JJ NORTON

Nick said not to. Sorry.

MITCHELL CLARKE

(under his breath, to Laila)

Sounds like a bit of a SorryNotSorry to me …

Laila tries and fails to suppress a smile.

HUGO FRASER

(waspishly)

Pot or kettle, Bill?

Bill opens his mouth to say something, then clearly thinks better of it.

HUGO FRASER

(looking round the table)

So unless someone else has something, I think that’s it?

BILL SERAFINI

(turning to him)

Oh, I don’t think we’re quite done yet.

The others exchange slightly weary – and in some cases wary – glances: judging from his face, Bill evidently has something juicy up his sleeve.
