‘Good afternoon Major, how are you today?’
‘That’s Major to you -oh sorry, you did use the proper
address. But tuck that wing in Sergeant!’
‘With respect sir, this is a police matter, not a military
one, and you have no jurisdiction here.’
‘Yes I do! I patrol this area every hour of every day long
after my team deserted me.’
‘Very good to hear, sir. Could you give me a report of what
you observed in the last twelve hours? Preferably with any reference to the poor
sod in there.’
‘Why, what happened?’
‘A body was found on one of these stones lying in the
ground.’
‘Oh, right. I did hear some unusual purring in the vicinity
last night. We don’t usually get many cats around here at night. Very few
humans about. They’ve learnt their lesson that I scare them away.’
‘Some meowing. Right, thank you for your time Sergeant.’
‘Major!’
‘Major, sorry!’
‘Goodbye constable.’
