I wanted to accept. I mean, I’d have been a fool not too. OK, the cops would find my DNA all over her apartment, but I had the perfect answer. She invited me there. But there was one potential problem – a massive one. The first thing the cops would do would be to run me through their computer.<br/><br/>‘Look, Mia. I’ve got to be honest would you. I want to accept your offer, but there’s something I need to tell you first. Something you’ll want to take into account before you take me into your home like this.’<br/><br/>Mia looked surprised at this response. I think she had expected me to jump at the chance.<br/><br/>‘Go on, Dave,’ she said calmly, ‘I’m listening.’<br/><br/>‘Mia, I’ve not long come out of prison. I was convicted of rape. It happened years ago and I can tell you the details if you want. But I couldn’t accept your offer without you knowing my background.’<br/><br/>I waited for her answer. If she withdrew her offer, I was in deep shit. If any harm came to her, I’d be top of the list of suspects.
