WE ALREADY KNEW

MM was standing outside the door when we got out the lift on our way back from watching one of my films on the big picture.
‘Do you know the name of the man who lives here?’ he said.
‘Er...no.’
‘He’s gone out and locked someone in here.’
‘Doesn’t he know his name?’
‘No,’ he said. ‘He asked me to kick the door in but you know...so I’ve called the police and they’re on their way.’
‘So they can kick it in?’
He turned to the door and the voice had come from the other side through the letterbox. ‘Alright mate,’ he said. ‘They won’t be long.’
MM’s girlfriend came into the scene from the corridor and started telling us what we already knew.
