Secrets and Lies - Harry's Secret

  I thought he’d never leave, Harry thought to himself as he leant against the front door having just shown DI Peters out. Couldn’t you have just told him the truth? Harry asked of himself as he felt his heart pounding in his chest and the reassuring barrier of the door that was now between himself and the threat that the DI posed. Surely it's not that unbelievable? Or is it? Harry thought as he debated with himself.

  After all if he just told the truth then this would be easily explainable, but then he wasn’t even sure that he could explain to himself how things had progressed to this point let alone anyone else. What had started as little bit of escapism for harry had now reached the point where he had stolen some blokes wallet, then his identity and now the police were involved. If this went any further then Harry could find himself in real trouble. But at least it's not boring, Harry thought as his breathing returned to something resembling its normal level.
