    ‘There,’ he said. ‘Now she’ll phone the police.

    And
    they’ll come — for you!’
    He walked over to the window and looked out.
    ‘Remember,’ I said. ‘You’ve got my face, too.’
    ‘Not for long,’ he said. In horror, I watched him
    slowly take the mask from his face.

    ‘Now there’s only one Peter


    Reed again. You!’
    ‘But. . .’
    ‘Oh, and one more
    thing. Here you are . . .’
    Before I knew it,
    the gun was in my
    hand!
    ‘You can give it
    to the police ‘ he
    laughed.

    I watched the door. It opened and four policemen
    walked in. They looked at the dead woman. They
    looked at the gun in my hand.
    The first policeman walked over to me. ‘You come
    with us,’ he said.
    ‘I didn’t ... It isn’t . . . I can’t . . .’ I said. I didn’t
    want to go to prison.
    ‘Come with us,’ he said again. ‘You can talk later.
    We’ve got all night.’
