February 25 Police release dead girls name

Barnaby pushed through the adults to make his way to the front, it was the third time this month everyone had gathered in the square and he was determined to get a decent view this time.

The older policeman, the one who had bought Barnaby home one time when he'd been lost was finishing speaking.

'...comes to us all but we may hope not in this way. Our community is blessed in many ways but we have a cancer amongst us that we cannot ignore. Louise Williamson was 17 years old, her life is forever frozen in time, no harm may come to her now'

The thinner policeman passed a balloon which had tied to it a small piece of paper. Barnaby watched it fly upwards, unsure at first bobbing this way and that before being caught on a thermal and disappearing from view. He'd known Louise and tried to picture her holding onto the balloon sailing away but couldn't, this wasn't a game anymore.
