the door. She dropped her head onto his chest and a few tears slipped out. He stroked her hair and said “Shh. We’ll get through it all.” The nurse put her head around the door and said “Five more minutes, Mrs Osoracsos.” Adam looked at her and smiled and she said that she had to say she was related to get in to see him. He lifted her hand and kissed it. Karl came back in with two coffees and sat beside them. “I’ve got a text from Kassie to say that she followed up your connections on the emails and she thinks she has a clue to the blogger.
     
    “You’ll have to go and see to it.” Adam said. “I’ll be fine here and they might let me out later. I’ll demand my phone back.”
    She kissed his cheek and said she would be back as she and Karl headed for the car to go back to the office. Kassie and the others were trying to get through on the mobiles but he drove fast and said they would explain when they arrived. Karl headed straight for the coffee machine and the others clustered around to hear what had happened. Claire had got through most of the tale and was explaining how Adam was at the hospital when the detective, Ed Jones, arrived with his partner and a uniformed officer. He looked serious.

    “Ms Costas.” He started. “This has turned into a very serious case and we feel you need a police officer with you at all times. This is Officer Jon Bradley and I am assigning him at the moment. He will stay with you until he is relieved or we catch this man. There are links that suggest he may be someone we are looking for in connection with other crimes.”
    “Murder, you mean?” Claire asked and the detective nodded and said it looked a possibility. Kassie broke in at that point and said she was sorry to interrupt. “Claire had started some software off this morning checking if her Twitter feed and the comments on her blog might throw up the same person and we think maybe it does. Well three of them actually but one is a woman so probably not her. Here are the other two.” She handed over the paper that had printed out the details.
    “You mean.” Jones asked . ”That we might be able to trace them from details on the web?” Claire nodded and showed him the links. His partner flipped out a smartphone and sent the details straight to the IT department at the station. “Both of these men live in this vicinity and have the same style of blogging.”Kassie continued. Claire took the paper copy and flicked her tablet on. She looked at both of the people that Kassie had spotted and nodded her head. “Both of them hate women as well. I remember both of these two.” She looked at one of them and showed Jones. “This one in particular is very like the one that made the threats. If we go back over his tweets and blogs we will get a clue as to his interests and where he lives.” She passed that to Jones as well and he sent it straight on to his tech department. “I’ll keep on searching.” Claire said .
     
    “Keep in touch.” Jones said. And do not go anywhere without Bradley here. I’m serious. If this is who we think it is, you cannot be too careful.” He and his partner left and Bradley asked if he could watch her do the search. “I would like to know how to do this.” She agreed and offered him the use of the office coffee machine. The place settled back into work mode and Claire got lost in the concentration of the search. Bradley asked the odd question and watched intently. He took the odd note and after awhile she rubbed her eyes and said. “Look at this.” She flicked three screens up at the same time. “These are all tweets and comments supposedly made by different people but are almost word for word identical.”
     
    “Can you trace any of them?” Bradley asked and she told him that one of them had no personal stuff at all but the other two both hinted at different times about the area where they lived. She put in a command to find the
