HIGH NOON!

It was about 3.30 yesterday afternoon. I was sitting quietly under the pergola in front of the bar, when I heard two shots from a gun. Now this is Vrahassi and we are not strangers to hearing gun fire, but I did think that it was strange in the middle of the afternoon. Three police cars passed shortly after so I had the idea that something was 'up'.

As I write the television cameras are across at Lefteris' obviously interviewing the locals about what happened. From what I have found out myself, a man who killed someone in Heraklion last year had escaped from the prison and caught a taxi to Vrahassi. Maybe he had friends here who he hoped would hide him (I think he was from Milo Potamus - sheep country). Anyway the police caught up with him in the area of our local shop and when he made a run for it the policeman shot twice into the air as a warning. Vanessa, who lives almost across the road from where the action was tells me that the prisoner went down and the police handcuffed him.

That is all I know but I am sure the story will be on the TV tonight.

I'm just off to Neapolis. Bye for now.
