The full-moon was glowing luminously over this merciless part of our city, and it was well past midnight. One police officer, Leo Brown, on duty tonight, looked into a narrow alley. "How many different felonies will occur before the sun is up again?" Officer Brown asked himself nervously, "nobody knows," he added as he kept his right hand on his weapon. He hated night duty. Officer Brown, is a black police officer with many years service. The crime, The Escape, happened several month earlier. It was about the woman Alice Crown, and the bestial, or horrible way she had been murdered, and the way her killers escaped.
