One of us had to say it. It was the obvious thing to do. But given Dave's background, I knew the police would target him and I didn't want that. So it was a relief when he mentioned it first.<br/><br/>'Mia, you need to call the police.'<br/><br/>I sat down on the bed and thought long and hard as he stood beside me waiting for my decision. I'm sure I heard him sigh with relief when I said:<br/><br/>'No, Dave. They won't catch him and he'll just wait until they lose interest and then come back. I've got you to protect me, that's better than the police. We've got to sort this out, just the two of us.'
