Have you ever?\"\n\n\"I was once a Girl Guide,\" xxx said Sadie, and Kevin's mouth\ntwitched. \"But that's all.\"\n\n\"And you?\" The policeman asked Kevin.\n\nKevin shook his head.\n\n\"Perhaps it was just some hooligans and they happened to pick on\nme by accidentchance,\" said Mr Blake.\n\n\"I feel there's more to it than that. You keep your car in the\ngarage at night?x\" Mr Blake/nodded. The policeman continued,\" So\nsomesbody person or persons went to the trouble to get into your\ngarage and loosen all the wheels, doing it carefully, replacing the\nhub caps, clearing away any evidence afterwards. That's not the\nwork of hooligans. They might break one of your windows or score\na knife across the bodywork but they don't plan anything carefully.\"\n\n\"Seems a bit of a mystery then,\" said Mr Blake.\n\n\"One we intend to clear up if possible. You were lucky you all\ngot out alive. But we might have been looking for murderers this\nmorning.\"\n\nSadie stirred uneasily. Should she tell him about Steve? But\nwhat was there to tell? She had no proof, no idea even if he was\nguilty.\n\nKevin thought of Rafferty's gang. Should he give Brian's name to\nthe policeman? But then he would have to say that Brian Rafferty\nthe b night before had been lying in his bed too ill to come out.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
