PHOTO FINISH

Lisa works in Black and Sons and Alice works in Black and Sons, too. Lisa works in the Accounts Department but she wants to work in the Marketing Department with Alice. Alice works in the Marketing Department.

They are going to go to Greece. They are on holidays next week. Lisa and Alice go to the Post Office to get the passport but Lisa hasn’t got any photos. They aren’t in her bag.

She goes to the Bus Station, to the photo booth. Lisa goes into the photo booth and she takes some photos. Next she goes outside of the photo booth and she waits for her photos. Her photos will come out of a slot of the machine. Lisa takes them, but in the photos there is a man.

In the first photo the man has got a cruel smile. In the second photo the man is looking to the right. In the next photo someone is holding the man’s scarf. There isn’t any man in the fourth photo. There are only two hands. In one hand there is a ring. It is a snake ring. In the other hand there is a tattoo. It is a blue bird tattoo.

The man is dead. Who is the murderer? Lisa and Alice are at the police station. Lisa is telling her story to the police. She is showing the photos. The detective is very interested. She has got a plan.

- The murderer will go back to the photo booth. He will want to have his photos.

- He will look for you. You can help us, Lisa.

She goes back to the bus Station, a man is standing by the photo booth. He is young. Lisa looks at his hands. Lisa sees the snake ring and the blue bird tattoo. The police catch the murderer. Lisa is safe.
