John Somersham and his wife Gwen are sound asleep at their home. Suddenly, Gwen says "John, wake up. Someone's at the door". John says "What...what is it?" Gwen says "John I'm frightened. There's someone at the front door". John asks "What's the time? It's 17 minutes past 2 the middle of the night". Gwen says "Someone's knocking at the front door, listen" After a few seconds of silence, Gwen says "There was someone, John. It woke me up". John says "You imagined it. Now, I'd like to get some sleep". The doorbell starts ringing. John says "I hear it. Who can it be at this time of night". Gwen asks "What are you going to do?" John says "I'm going to see who it is. What do you think you're doing?" Gwen says "I'm coming with you". John says "You're not. You're staying there. If there's any trouble, lock yourself in the bedroom and phone for the police". John goes to the front door and asks "Who's there?" A voice on the other side of the door says "Police". John says "Police, just a moment". Gwen, who followed him to the door says "There's been an accident, I know it". As he opens the door, John says "I told you to stay up there, Gwen". Two men are at the front door. One of them says "Mr. John Somersham?" John says "Yes, that's me. What is it?" The man says "We're police officers, sir, can we come in?" John asks "Why?" He says "It's a bad news I'm afraid. It's about your son". Gwen says "About our son? Why?" John says "Don't get excited, Gwen, they've obviously come to the wrong address. Our son is fast asleep upstairs. Officer asks "You're quite sure he's upstairs?" John says "Quite sure". John says "Gwen, will you look in Simon's room?" She goes into his room and finds it empty. John looks at the officer and says "What is your name?" The officer says "Garwood, sir". John says "What has happened to our son?" Garwood says "He's safe and he's well and if you do exactly what we say you'll have him back again tomorrow". John says "You're not police officers, are you?"
