The man who escaped
(Episode 7)
1. The deaf old lady did not hear the knock, but Coke did. His heart began to pound wildly. He had to
decide what to do, and quickly.
«There's someone at the door», he said loudly, but the old lady did not understand. «There's someone at the

the room.
3. The phone rang about five minutes later at the local police headquarters. Hall answered it. «What?

minutes ago».
«What do you mean, he almost caught him? Did he catch him or didn't he?» «No, he got away. He stole
