but then a swift kick from outside sent it flying to the floor. The men were amazed at the burglars' audacity.
Both Peter and Mr. van Daan felt a murderous rage come over them.
Mr. van Daan slammed an ax against the floor, and all was quiet again.
Once more the panel was replaced, and once more the attempt was foiled.
Outside, a man and a woman shone a glaring flashlight through the opening, lighting up the entire warehouse.
“What the...” mumbled one of the men, but now their roles had been reversed.
Instead of policemen, they were now burglars. All four of them raced upstairs.
Dussel and Mr. van Daan snatched up Dussel's books, Peter opened the doors and windows in the kitchen and private office,
hurled the phone to the ground, and the four of them finally ended up behind the bookcase.
