73. The return home

Peter arrests Mrs Johnson, who still won’t say where her son is. She says that she did the kidnapping all by herself. Meanwhile, Laura Smith takes little Sophie to be with her mother.

 

Dorothy: My daughter! Is it you?

Sophie: Mummy! Mummy! It’s me, it’s me.

Dorothy: Come here, child, and hug me. Thank you, thank you, detective. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you brought me my little girl back.

Laura: Only doing my job, madam.

Dorothy: What has happened to the men who did this? Have you caught them?

Laura: We have made an arrest. However, there are still other people involved that we need to catch. In the meantime, there will be police protection. Do you see those women in that car?

Dorothy: Yes, I do.

Laura: They are also police officers. I trust them completely. They will be watching your house day and night. Please do not open the door to anyone you don’t know and don’t go out. If you need to go somewhere, please speak to them.

Dorothy: Understood. Can’t you stay too?

Laura: I’m sorry, but I have to go and catch the men who did this.
