A Line of Blood. Ben McPherson

      It’s happening again, I thought. Please God, don’t let it happen again. I considered ringing Fab5 and asking him to go round, but Millicent would view it as a betrayal. She would hate me for exposing her like that. Who could I ring, though? Certainly not the police.

      I had to keep the fear out of my voice. ‘Max,’ I said. ‘Max, listen to me. I want you to do something for me.’ Measure your words.
