âAre you hiding from someone?â
The young man in the way too big Siouxsie and the Banshees jumper took a deep drag off his cigarette and contemplated his response, staring out the boarded up window, thoughts racing. Why would anyone take shelter in an abandoned building? Was there ever a non-pathetic answer to it?
Liam puffed out smoke and shrugged. He couldnât lie convincingly to save his life. Why even bother? âAye,â he looked at the stranger. Seemed nice, but he didnât trust them enough to disclose that he got in trouble with the law. Again. So he went for the half-truth: âGot into a bit of trouble, me. Donât fancy getting me âead done in, so Iâm laying low. What brings you here?â
