They were here

"What happened?" The policeman eyed me as if he suspected me.
I repeated my words, "They stole my car. The 24 hungry guys."

He raised his right eyebrow. "It's a fairy tale, nothing more." He walked around the spot where my car had been an hour ago.

"It were the 24 hungry guys!" My breath quickened. Why didn't he believe me?

"How can you be so sure?"

I pointed to the floor. "They left a message, there, to the left of the gully. Do you see it?"

He shook his head.

I felt queasy. I guessed what it meant that he didn't see the message.

He tried to grab me.

But I had already started running.
