and Inspector Nowak
were sitting in Nowak’s o ce. Nowak’s phone rang and
he answered it
immediately.
When he nished talking, he stood up.
“Time to go,” he said to Pawluk.
“Why, what’s happened?”
“A bank robbery in Mokotow. e
uniformed
Police are there
already.”
ey put their coats on and le quickly.
Outside,
they
brushed
the snow o
Nowak’s Saab, and
got in.
Ten minutes later, they
arrived at the bank. As they opened the door, everyone looked at
them.
“Don’t worry,” Pawluk said, “we’re detectives.”
ey talked rst to the policemen to nd out what had happened.
en they spoke to the manageress.
“Is there a room we can use?” asked Nowak. “We need to speak to
everyone who was in the bank when the robbery happened.”
“Of course, Inspector,” the manageress said. “We can use my of-
ce. Who would you like to speak to
to begin with?”
“We’ll begin with you,” said Nowak.
ey
followed her
through a door and climbed some stairs. e
manageress’s o ce was on the rst oor.
“I was in my o ce
the whole time,”
she said. “But I  saw every-
thing. e CCTV cameras are
connected
to my computer.” She
explained what she had seen.
“Is the CCTV
footage
recorded?” Pawluk asked.
“Of course,” she said.
She opened a  programme on the computer and they sat and
watched the footage.
“It only
took two minutes,”
the manageress said.
“Yes, a perfect robbery,” Nowak said. “Nobody was
injured.
It’s
good that we have pictures of the robbers. ere’s one thing that’s
interesting.”
“What’s that?” asked Pawluk.
“ e one with the gun is
de nitely
a man. But I think the second
one might be a woman,” said Nowak.
“It’s di cult to say
for sure,”
said Pawluk.
