31After three interviews I had two job offers. Turns out knocking on doors and bending the truth slightly can get you a job. Not only that obviously I had to prove myself. In each mill I was asked my opinion and being me I gave it to them straight. They seemed to be impressed that I didn’t kiss ass and pointed out places that could be more efficient. Now I had a decision to make. Bank bottom was bigger and paid more. West Yorkshire weavers was a small outfit that had an easier job. It paid less but gave me more time and less stress. Knowing how I handled stress I was leaning toward that option. The thing was I needed to be challenged or I would get lazy.Louise had made me think I need a get out plan. I’m nnot stupid at some point the police will start to put two and two together. At no point have I ever thought that I was perfect. I have probably left fingerprints at each murder. There are more than likely hair samples. Until I am caught though those things are useless

33This is where things were going to go wrong. At the same time, I could not let it drop. This man had messed with the wrong girl this time and Adam is just a baby. The street lights were on and my temper was up.“Lou listen to me. Where is Adam? We have to act fast.”“He lives just around the corner. Go down here and turn right. What are you going to do Harry?”Her voice was shaking as she spoke and a single tear rolled down her cheek. She must be shitting her pants right now and I’m not surprised in the slightest.“Get me to the house where Adam is and it will all be ok.”“Ok. Slow down it’s that house there.”Louise pointed down the road at a mid-terraced house. The curtains were closed but light shone through dully. I pulled over badly into a large space. I parked like a prick that I would normally grumble at. I left half a car length in front of me behind a parked car and there was nothing behind me. Switching off the engine I took Lou

35The money was no longer in my possession and to be fair I was a bit paranoid that I would never see it again. No, technically the money wasn’t mine but it was going to go a long way in my new life. Not all of the money was getting cleaned I kept three thousand back. Two thousand of this was to buy Adam and Louise new lives as well if they wanted to come with me when the manure hit the fan. I’m still not deluded enough to think I will be free forever. Like I would really need to worry about that when I tell her why it will need to happen. Let’s see how would it go.“Hi, Lou. Just wanted to say that I have killed at least three people. Potentially five there is two I don’t know as I had to leave the crime scene in a bit of a hurry but if you’re with that do you want to be with me until the time comes that we have to leave and then become someone else?”I changed my voice to a ridiculously high pitch for a woman’s

37The table was set when I walked in. Louise had found some wine glasses somewhere and placed them on the table half full of white wine. Taking the piss I picked up the cheap bottle of plonk and examined the label. I then picked up the glass held it to my nose and took a quick exaggerated sniff. Then I tasted it a small sip and then drilled it around my mouth like mouthwash. Instead of spitting it out, I swallowed it.“That will do nicely. You picked a good an there lass.”“I’m glad sir approves.”We were giggling and smiling. Her face was just relaxed and happy. Was this down to me or was it me? It felt right to put the food down on the work surface and placed my hands on her hips. We faced each other and her body tensed as I held her. She gasped in and I moved in closer and closer until our lips touched. I pulled back slowly and her eyes were still closed. She blinked her eyes open.“Well, Harry if that’s what wine does to you I will get it more ofte

39According to the papers, there had been a crime committed in the local area. The report said that there had been a gruesome blood bath at a local pimp and drug dealers house. One man had his head smashed into a pulp and was dead. One man was in a critical condition and early signs were bad. If he did survive he was going to have long term brain damage. One man was reported to be doing well and on the mend. He has been cooperative with the police and given them a description. When I read that my sphincter tightened up. My stoanach churned and the contents started to rise. I shot to my feet and ran up the stairs to the bathroom.Once I was cleaned up I stumbled back downstairs. Louise came down after me. She was talking but I didn’t hear her. Not a word made it to my brain. The sound might as well have been in a different country for all I cared right now. I sat back down at the table and started at the paper. It had a artists impression of my face looking back
