Natalie: Damn! Where did he go?

Alice: There he is. He flagged down a cab. Look!

Detective Smith: Yes, that’s him. If he gets in that car, we won’t be able to catch him.

Natalie: Unless we find our own vehicles to follow him.

Detective Smith: How? The police car is back by the shop. We will lose sight of him.

Natalie: Well, how about those?

Alice: The city bikes! Let’s go!

Detective Smith: Have you got your travel cards to hand?

Alice and Natalie: Always!

Detective Smith: Okay, let’s go!

Alice: How exciting! I feel like I’m in one of my novels….

Natalie: This is terrifying! I feel like I’m in one of your novels….

Alice: Yes!

Natalie: No!

Detective Smith: Let’s go!
