Retreating

The unmistakable voice of the detective in charge boomed out in the darkness.

He was calling the search off and calling it a night. The two uniformed officers who had been scouring through the disused warehouse with their torches for the best part of an hour were happy to be retreating from the place. The abandoned building was filthy and they were happy to oblige. The offender they were looking for, having been chased by the officers from the very scene of the robbery, was on foot. It was because of these circumstances that they believed he had little chance of escape. However, despite all this, he had managed to vanish into thin air! They were frustrated and more than willing to call it quits.

Meanwhile, the criminal in question was lying silently beneath several pieces of old sacking, having a quiet rest after a great deal of running. He would patiently wait it out in the dark for several minutes, until feeling sure that the coast was clear.

During this short period, he reflected on, and fully appreciated, his many hours of training spent at Madam Minerva’s School of Ventriloquism.
