In all her years, Gill Finch hadn’t had so much as a school playground fight. She abhorred violence, and had brought up her now-grown children to avoid confrontation whenever they could. The events of the last twelve hours had been like something from another world, one she’d insulated herself from her whole life, but the thought of Melissa coming to harm awoke a primal maternal instinct that had lain dormant for many years.

Two years previously, she had thought she’d been followed home after leaving work, but while no-one had actually approached her, the incident had shaken her. When she’d told Tom Gray about it, he’d assured her that it was probably nothing, but offered her some self-defence tips just in case.

His instructions came flooding back as she watched the intruder kneeling over Melissa, and before she knew it, she was standing over him. She opened her arms as wide as they would go and cupped her hands slightly, just as Gray had shown her. When she brought them together, clapping them hard over the intruder’s ears, he screamed in pain as his eardrums burst.

His hands flew to his head and the pistol clattered to the floor. Gill pushed him away from the drawer, grabbing Melissa as he hunched in agony with his hands over his damaged ears. She ran down the stairs and tried to open the front door, but it wouldn’t move. She remembered locking it and taking the key out, and realised it was on the living room table.

Footsteps pounded on the stairs above, and with no time to retrieve the key, Gill ran to the kitchen. The back door stood open, but before she could reach it, a bullet whizzed past her head and gouged a hole in the wall.

‘I won’t miss with the next one.’
