120. Fox in the Chicken Coop

From her hiding place Kallie heard the roar of anger as the thug trying to force the police officers into the boot spotted the flat tyres.

The street erupted into action. Greg and Sally shoved away from the angry man and started to run down the street, while Sammy wrenched the belt from his captor's hand and ran in the opposite direction.

Seeing him running towards her Kallie stepped out from her hiding place, grabbing his arm and pulling him along behind her.

One of the men tackled Sally to the floor, her fall yanking Greg back and almost overbalancing him. Quickly recovering he looked for an opportunity to lash out at her captor, but the man was too quick and he grabbed Sally's hair, pulling her head up like a shield, thwarting the detective inspector's efforts.

Heading in the opposite direction Kallie and Sammy almost made it to the end of the street, but the remaining thug was hard on their heels and his outstretched hand grabbed Sammy's sweatshirt.

"Stop or I'll break 'is neck!" he snarled, stopping Kallie in her tracks.

Reluctantly they allowed themselves to be taken back to the house, where Greg and Sally were also being led back in.

As the four of them passed Moriarty he sneered.

"If they try that again, shoot the boy."
