Chapter 20At their morning meeting, Alex had consciously let Sandra lead to emphasise to the others that she would be taking charge. He would stay in overall control but wasn't intending to be in attendance again over the weekend. He knew Sandra would have a busy day advancing the case and had complete confidence she would handle everything as he would wish. She could contact him if he was required and would no doubt check in with him later in the day. He left the office and detoured home to get changed and have a better shave before going to collect the boys. He received his normal welcome from Jake and was pleased to see the boys were ready and waiting for him. Helen was out shopping so there was nothing to delay him. He collected their overnight bags and tossed them into the car's boot.
