Where will the Bandit strike next?
Police Headquarters
Commander Jane Porter pours herself another glass of scotch which she chugs down, she was not normally a heavy drinker but right now, she needed it; in the span of twenty four hours, two major crimes have occurred in broad daylight and the most irritating is, despite large crowds being present at both crime scenes, there's not a single witness to be found, not even the victims could provide a description of the Suspect.
Porter rubs her eyes as she casts her mind back over the Victim of Crime Statements; according to both victims, the stolen items had been on their persons the one minute and the next, the item had vanished! "But how do you just take something like a briefcase or a tiara off of someone without anyone seeing?" Porter asks aloud.
Just then, there's a knock at her door and her partner, Sergeant Amy Dawson, enters "Sorry to interrupt,M'am, but the Press have arrived for the Press Conference" Porter sighs "Alright,I'll be right out.." She takes one last shot before following Dawson outside the main doors where the associated Press stand, waiting for her to give a statement. She straightens her uniform cap before stepping forward to address the Reporters "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, thank you for coming" she begins "Firstly, I want you to kno-" but Porter is cut off as she, Dawson, the Journalists and all the people passing Police HQ freeze!
The door to a phonebox opens and the mysterious figure steps out and walks through the crowd of frozen Reporters and stops in front of Porter "So" the figure grins "You're the so called legendary Commander Porter who's supposedly been assigned to my latest escapades.." He chuckles as he circles the frozen cop "Well, Commander, if we're to play a merry game of Cat and Mouse, then allow me to start off the game with a flourish!"
He spins on his heel and faces the motionless Press "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press" he booms dramatically "You thought you'd seen me at my best but you are mistaken! A briefcase full of money? Some rich old mare's sparklers? You are about to watch me, in a way, pull of my most daring trick yet; the undergarments of this fine Policewoman, hanging from that flagpole there!" he points to the flagpole atop Police Headquarters, where a Union Flag hangs stiffly in the now non existent breeze before turning back to Commander Porter; he removes her shoes, belt and trousers, revealing the Commander's black leggings and underpants. He slides the underpants off her and enters the building, climbing up to the roof where he lowers the stiffened flag and replaces it with the underpants, which he hoists in place before returning to ground level. To add further insult to injury, he proceeds to rob everyone of their valuables before climbing into a nearby van.
"Ok, 3..2..1..ACTION!"
What now?
