We see a whole host of emergency service vehicles at the edge of a wooded area.
There is an indecent room type tent full of police officers standing around a fold up table littered with maps.
A very small man with a blackened face dressed in army clothes and a bandanna around his head walks in.
DCI PORTER
"Who are you"
LITTLE MAN
"I've been sent over from the barracks"
DCI PORTER
"What you're supposed to be SAS?"
LITTLE MAN
"Yeah I'm SAS"
DCI PORTER
"No disrespect but what are you five one, five two?"
LITTLE MAN
"Four foot seven actually"
DCI PORTER
"You do know we have the an escaped prisoner in the woods who's known as the Beast of Brixton. This man is a category A prisoner he's a six foot seven wall of muscle, who just so happened to have killed three guards with his bare hands during his escape
LITTLE MAN
"What's your point?"
DCI Porter
"You do know you can't shoot him don't you"
LITTLE MAN
"Yeah yeah I know, no guns, you just want him cuffed and brought out"
DCI PORTER
"You think you can do that?"
LITTLE MAN
"What are you getting at?"
DCI PORTER
"Nothing, nothing"
The little man looks at his watch and then the darkening sky before he speaks.
LITTLE MAN
"I'll have to act quickly its getting dark!"
The little man suddenly grabs a set of handcuffs from a constables belt and walks out the tent into the woods.
Ten minutes pass and we hear unnatural screaming and cockney cries of "For gawds sake guvnor I'll come quite honestly I will"
The police officers all look at each other excitedly as the bushes rustle and the Beast of Brixton who is in handcuffs and is crying like a baby is thrown out onto the grass.
DCI PORTER
"Were's the little SAS guy?"
CONSTABLE
"I had a word with him on his way in sir, he said he'd said it should only take him ten minutes to catch the prisoner. Then he said he needed to go straight back to base while it was still light, he said he needed to write a letter to his brother"
DCI PORTER
"He must be getting ready for a big night mission, probably a last letter before the 'off'"
CONSTABLE
"No he told me he was shattered and fancied an early night, he just needed to the write the letter before it got dark ,apparently he has trouble reaching the light switch in his barracks!"
