The Escape
“They went into the court along a stone corridor and headed into the prisoner reception, where she took off the handcuffs. She should have taken Colin down to the cell area, but instead told him to sit and wait while she asked if his case had been called yet. She became even more anxious when told that his solicitor was already in court with another client.
Colin sat watching and listening, wondering when, and if, he could find the moment to escape. The officer was pacing up and down, unsure... what to do, when the door to the court opened. The defendant in the previous case was led towards the cells and the female officer went through the door to try to get the solicitor’s attention. Colin looked round. No one was taking any notice of him and he knew it was now or never. He stood up and calmly headed back down the corridor to the door through which they had entered.
Colin walked slowly across the rear car park and out of the open gates, and then ran as fast as his legs would carry him up the street.MoreLess
