The Great Ice-Cream Heist (2013)
“Shouts came from inside the building. An officer called out and another reached for her radio. Eva stood stock still. She felt Heidi’s grip tighten on her wrist. Gran put a hand on each of their shoulders.
Someone was bundled out of the front door. He had the hood of his jacket up, so she couldn’t see who it was. Officers on either side held him by the shoulders.
‘It wasn’t me. This is an unfair arrest,’ the man shouted. Eva recognised his voice – Michael.
Another figure appeared. M...rs McIntyre. Her face was twisted in fury. She spat words as though they were a bad taste in her mouth. ‘Let him go. He’s done nothing. He was here the whole time. This is discrimination.’ The officers kept walking. They paid her no attention. It was as though she was invisible.
Then Mrs McIntyre grabbed one of the officers and pulled him backwards. Eva gasped. The officer stumbled and fell. In the confusion, Michael wrenched his other arm free and set off down the path.MoreLess
