Risking It All
“They checked the car and its silent occupant, radioed for back-up and suggested we might like to tell one of them all about it back at the flat over the shop while the other stood guard at the scene of crime. Ganesh said his uncle wouldn’t like it. The police looked glum. One of them blew on his hands and rubbed them forlornly. He had as much chance of generating heat as a Boy Scout with a couple of sticks and a pile of wet twigs. The rain had eased but it hadn’t got any warmer. We all stood in... the grey dawn light in the lee of the garages and the poor shelter it offered. Gan and I were shaking like leaves. Being forced to stay out in the rain could easily turn the law against us – rather sooner than they’d turn against us anyway. I imagined the cosy flat. Then I imagined the hysterical Hari. Gan was right; the flat was out. I suggested tentatively we might at least go to the shop. ‘Don’t be daft, he’s down there himself by now,’ said Gan. Fortunately, he then remembered he had the key to the main garage doors on him.MoreLess
