Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 74

Constable Davidson and Detective Harrison were deep in conversation when a black van sped past them, far above the legal speed limit. Because he was not paying attention, it took Constable Davidson longer than it should have to catch up to the van and stop it. He walked over to the driver and asked the usual questions, taking the licence in his hand before walking back to the vehicle to check the registration details.

"Is everything alright?"

The Constable was apprehensive and unsure. His eyebrows were bunched and he looked at the Detective, answering vaguely, "He has gloves on."

Detective Harrison took the licence from his hands, looked it over and handed it back.

"You radio it in and I'll go have a quick little chat to this fellow."

The man in the van watched the Detective approach and wriggled uncomfortably in his seat, adjusting his sunglasses by pushing them back up his nose. He calculated the distance precisely and turned on the van. Before the two men realised what was happening, he sped off. Detective Harrison ran back to the car and they started a high speed pursuit of the vehicle.

Constable Davidson turned to the Detective and said, "The details are falsified. He gave me the details of someone who has been dead for over thirty years. Even the licence plate details are false. They are a copy of someone that lives on the other side of town and drives a very expensive sports car. I didn't even get a good look at his face as he was wearing sunglasses. We have nothing!"

The Detective turned his face and stared blankly at the passing scenery, "I have a bad feeling about this."

The young Constable kept up as well as he could but somehow the van disappeared mysteriously. With no way of tracking him, the two headed back to the office.
