Extract from Friend or Foe

‘It was out of the bedroom window, sir,’ he was
saying, ‘so it must be in this area here somewhere,

almost for certain.’

‘But Reynolds,’ the officer took off his cap and shook
it, ‘there’s two observation posts between here

and there. Surely if there had been a plane someone else
would have spotted it?’

‘Not if they were following the searchlight, sir. The
boys say the searchlight was sweeping over the

village itself at the time.’

The officer turned to face the boys. He had a
mean face with a thin moustache that barely
covered his

top lip. ‘You say they’re evacuees, Reynolds?’

‘That’s right, sir. And fine lads they are too,
sir. Been with us for three months now. If they
say they saw

it, then you can be sure they did, sir.’

‘Quite so, Reynolds,’ said the officer, but he
did not sound convinced.
