The Invisible Assassin
“He’d just given his statement to the uniformed police constable about what had happened: being threatened by the two men, and running into the road to escape them. It was obvious to Jake that the constable hadn’t wanted to come all the way back to the station and take his statement. The constable had hoped this would be just a simple matter, with Jake being cautioned (or possibly charged) for causing an accident at the scene. One crime committed, one crime solved. A box ticked. 100% crime-solvi...ng success rate.
Instead of which, Jake had insisted he’d been the victim of a potentially deadly assault, and equally firmly insisted on being taken to the nearest police station to give his statement.
From Jake’s point of view, it had been a strategy to ensure he was protected. The two men would keep away from him as long as he was in the company of the constable.
The constable read through Jake’s statement, then slid it across the table for Jake to sign.MoreLess
