What do you think she saw?
There was a dog lying in the road It was dead Vanessa moved the dog
to the side of the road and then continued her journey Suddenly she saw in the mirror that there was a black car behind her When she turned right the car turned right and when she turned left the car turned left too It was following her!
Why was the van following her?
Vanessa was sure that the driver of the car was following her because the dead dog was his, and he was angry Now he was flashing his lights What do you think Vanessa did?
Vanessa drove faster but the car drove faster too Suddenly the seven o'clock news started on the radio It said: “The police are looking for a murderer who escaped from prison last night Be careful! He is very dangerous
How do you think Vanessa felt now? Why?
Vanessa felt very afraid Now she was sure that the man in the car was the murderer! She drove faster Martin’s farm was very near now but the black car was right behind her! At last she arrived at Martin’s farm She got out of the car and ran up to the door She rang the
doorbell ‘Martin! Help, help!’ she shouted
Where do you think Martin was?
Martin was in the kitchen making the dinner when the doorbell rang
He heard Vanessa shouting, so he ran to get his shotgun He opened the door At that moment the black car stopped next to Vanessa’s car
A tall man got out
Who do you think the man was?
‘That man is the murderer who escaped from prison last night, Vanessa shouted “He’s going to kill us’ “No, no!’ said the tall man ‘Pm not the murderer The murderer is in there, in the back of your car!
When did the murderer get into Vanessa’s car?
‘T was driving behind you, the tall man said, ‘and I saw you stop when you hit the dog There was a man behind a tree J saw him get in your car | recognized him from the newspaper He’s the murderer who escaped from prison last night That’s why I was following you?
