The Padlock: Mission 53

“I am the Bob, who arrested plenty of rascals. I can remember the time when I spied on thieves in Prague’s Žižkov. The place was rotten – thefts, muggings, murders in the daylight. There were spots, where was better not to go, but I loved the job and the place. That year I worked as a lieutenant in the police district. These were the days. My memory is not any good anymore and a lot of cases are blurred, but I can still remember clearly this one……

It was one of the first spring days. Girls started to wear short skirts and jumpers. That evening we almost finished our shift. There were some rookies with me in the station and I was looking forward to have a shot with them in a local pub. This idea was stopped by a ringing phone. I answered – it was from the head office, they spoke about a horrible murder in a park. Having no other choice, I took the rookies to their first case meanwhile I could have a few glasses.”
