'Hi Pete, it's Steve here,' said the voice on the tape - a friend of mine, PC Steve Stanley of the local constabulary. Bent as a three bob note though, and into a bit of the old preteen action himself. 'Either you're busy or you've heard about the girl who's disappeared and wishing you had her eh?' he joked. I let it continue on for the time being, just in case he was setting a trap - you could never be to sure whether he was Steve or PC Stanley.
