There is before and after, like one of those
slimming adverts you see in magazines and
newspapers. Only my before and after had
nothing to do with diet, unless you counted
prison food. Before prison I had been confident
and successful. I had a family and a career. I had
friends. And after? Well, here I am standing
outside Camp Hill on the Isle of Wight getting
high on the smell of diesel and petrol fumes,
hesitant, with a prison pallor and a prison stoop. For forty-two months, one week and two days
I had dreamt of this moment. Now that it had
arrived I felt a flutter of panic that almost had
me scurrying back to the gates of Camp Hill
pleading to be allowed back in. Goodness knows
what lifers must feel!
?Hey, Alex! Over here.?
I pulled myself together and headed towards
the black Mercedes. Remember who you once
were I said to myself. But that Alex Albury had
vanished one September when, in the early hours
of the morning, the police had burst into my
home on the Hamble and had arrested me for
something I hadn't done.
I climbed into the waiting car and glanced at
my defence lawyer. Miles gave me a brief nod
before pulling out into the traffic. We didn?t
speak. As the prison receded my breathing
became easier. My pulse settled down and I felt
the tension drain from my body. As we climbed
Brading Down, the sparkling blue of the Solent
in the distance stole the breath from my body.
It was then that I knew no matter what the
cost I would find James Andover. I would ask
him why he had framed me. And then I would
destroy him as he had destroyed me.
