The girl huddled in the corner of the bedroom behind the head of her squalid bed. She tried to hide from me the way toddlers playfully hide from their Dad, on the pretence if they covered their eyes, Daddy couldn’t see them either.
Well, I could see the girl; her naked blooded body trembled from fear as I stood over her. My own hands were shaking; the adrenalin pulsing around my head was deafening and the blood on my jeans felt warm against my groin.
I heard the front door banging. I couldn’t remember how long someone had been knocking but they were growing impatient. It became louder and faster.
'OPEN UP. IT’S THE POLICE.'
