As soon as the intruder says that he felt Gerrard was a mystery man, Gerrard proposes to explain a story behind it. He made up a story to avoid the intruder and save his own life. Gerrard told that he himself was a crook like the intruder. He asked the intruder why else would he not meet any tradespeople, be here today and gone tomorrow.
