REVENGE
Flashes of blue lit up the front bedroom of 10 Pudsey Lane. ‘Being home is super!’ Ted exclaimed as he lay on the bean bag, exhausted after last night’s ordeal. Rupert, reflecting on the bungled operation, climbed onto the bed, the open window allowing him to eavesdrop on the conversation.
‘I’m telling you officer, I saw everything. I was coming back from The Red Lion- I always pop in there on a Tuesday whilst the missus is at bingo. She won £50 last week. Anyway, Wednesday is bin day so I have to make sure I’m home and the bins are out before Winnie gets back. I was walking down the High Street and heard a hullabaloo. Poor fella was being dragged down the alley on a picnic blanket. He tried kicking them off, but there were five of them. They’re stronger than they look. They were all shouting about rescue and revenge. Well, I was frozen to the spot. Didn’t think to record it on my phone, it’d be viral now. I tiptoed- stealth mode- and saw them hoisting him up on some sort of pulley system. Right clever. I mean, why on earth would I tie someone to the front of a bin truck officer? Believe me when I say it was teddy bears that did it.’
Rupert turned to address the other cuddly toys.
‘There was a witness. He’ll need to be disposed of.’
