Henry sagged with relief as the officer guided him to the side, out of the doorway’s harsh lights. Just as Henry caught his breath, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. He turned in time to see the burglars barreling out through the open door, desperate to make their escape.
But they were met with a wall of officers, guns raised and orders shouted. The burglars froze, their faces pale as they realized their escape route was gone. The officers moved in swiftly, cuffing each intruder and securing the scene. Henry watched, a weary smile tugging at his lips, as the thieves were led away in handcuffs.
