safety. All along I’d thought the danger was in the house with him, yet that would have been the safest place to be. It had been Adam all along, it must have been him when I felt someone watching me these last few weeks. It was his silver car I’d seen outside of Milo’s house, he must have followed me from the gym. He must have been hiding by the hedge outside Milo’s front door and seen an opportunity to grab me as Milo went back in for my coat. ‘O God Gabe, what will happen with Adam? What if they let him out and he comes to try and get me again?’
    ‘He won’t, Mia. I promise you he’s not getting out, trust me on that. I hope he gets life fucking imprisonment. I wish they still had the bloody death penalty here for people like him,’ he snapped. I reached out and took his hands.
    ‘Gabe I’m ok, I’m going to be ok. Please don’t let him get to you.’
    ‘Too late, Mia! He took you, he tried to take you from me baby, when I got that answer message from Mason … I thought I’d lost you.’ He took another pained sob and quickly wiped his eyes again. ‘I know now that it was Adam who tried to run me over. You said it from the start, you said it was him and that you got a bad vibe from him and I didn’t believe you. He’s married Mia, married with a kid. I mean, what the hell’s wrong with him?’
    ‘He has a child?’ I uttered and Gabe nodded. It was bad enough to wonder how his wife was going to feel when she found out that she’d been living with a psychotic serial killer, but that poor kid? It didn’t bear thinking about.
    ‘When the police went to his house to carry out a search, they found a locked basement. His wife said it was just for junk, she hadn’t been down there since they moved in, but it wasn’t for junk. They said it was like a shrine. It was full of pictures of girls, loads of young girls your age with blue eyes and brown hair.’
    ‘Were there pictures of me?’
    ‘Yes,’ he said quietly. ‘More of you than anyone, he had a board just for you. Some taken in and outside Peppers, on Campus, even outside our fucking apartment building. Also Dad’s house and you running in the park.’
    ‘O God, Gabe,’ I whispered as I covered my mouth with my hands. He could have taken me anytime he wanted and I might not have been so lucky.
    ‘He obviously has some serious psychological problems, which I’m sure that the Police will get to the bottom of, in time. They’re going to need a full statement from you when you feel up to it.’ He reached up and smoothed my hair with his hand and I gave him a half-smile and a nod.
    ‘He must have followed me to Milo’s from Uni, I had a feeling I was being watched. I don’t understand though, I was grabbed from behind, right outside Milo’s open front door that’s why I thought it was him. I really thought it was Milo holding me, Gabe. Does he know I’m ok? He must be so worried. I left my coat and phone and everything in his house.’
    ‘O God, Mia,’ Gabe sighed and rubbed his face.
    ‘What? You’re not going to tell me that you went around and beat him up are you? I know I shouldn’t have gone there, and I’m so sorry for breaking your trust. I promise now that I know how he feels about me, I won’t see him anymore, Gabe. I just need to have to have one meeting with him to explain that we can’t be friends now, to tell him that I’m sorry that I don’t feel that way about him, then I won’t see him again except in class. I don’t want to jeopardise my relationship with you Gabe, and I feel so awful that you were right all along, he was in love with me and I just didn’t see it.’
    ‘It doesn’t matter baby, don’t worry about it, ok?’ He gave me a sad smile.
    ‘But I do, how can I have been so stupid, Gabe? I didn’t see what was right under my nose with Milo, I put myself at risk with Adam by ignoring your advice. I just can’t believe it was him, I was so sure that Milo had grabbed me from
