The man at the door said he was from the police. He looked it. He had a badge on a lanyard. Jan gave him all the details he asked for. He was looking for a man who had pretended to be a police officer. He had robbed a house last week.

Jan wondered what the robber looked like. The man at the door described the robber and his car. Jan looked beyond him at the car outside the gate. The man at the door smiled. There was nothing to worry about. Jan smiled back.

Jan promised to call the man at the door if anything out of the ordinary happened then invited him in for a cup of tea. The man at the door smiled and said thank you and went in. Jan looked at the car in the street again and closed the door.
