Early last Saturday morning,the doorbell rang so loudly that every one of my family was woken up.My husband went to open the door and a few minutes later he came back with a large parcel(包裹)in his hand.The parcel was for Tommy,our son,and it had arrived just in time.

After breakfast Tommy discovered the parcel,and he looked at the stamp on the parcel, “It’s from Uncle Bill,”he shouted excitedly.Even though Bill was in America,he had not forgotten Tommy’s birthday. “Mum,” suggested Tommy, “let’s open the parcel and see what birthday present Uncle Bill has posted to me.” “No,not now.” I stopped him firmly, saying, “Your birthday’s not until tomorrow.” “You should open it in the morning together with your other presents,” Tommy was really a good boy,and he promised not to open the parcel until the following day.

The next day,my husband was just as excited as Tommy when they discovered that there was an electric train set in the parcel. “Let’s go upstairs and put it together.” my husband said.

Tommy was with his father for about an hour but finally got tired of playing the toy train and went into the living-room to see the rest of his presents.

About lunch time,I came into the living-room. “Where is your father?” I asked, “I’ve been looking for him everywhere.”

“He is upstairs,Mum.” Tommy answered, “He put my train set together this morning and he has been playing with it ever since!”

“Oh, he will never change a bit,” I said, “boys will always be boys!”

　　“You will meet a man in the theatre foyer,” K. explained. “He will have left before the play ends and will be 1 for you. He'll be wearing a dark suit and carrying a theatre 2 upside down, although I doubt if you could miss him. There shouldn't be many people waiting in the foyer at that time of night. 3 he asks you to do, whatever instructions you're given, co-operate. Understood?” I nodded. I knew of course that we were planning to have discussions with “the other side” and that we intended to 4 back one of our own men, but all this seemed a bit ridiculous.

He seemed to be 10 at a spot on the floor, and looked as if he was just about to pick something up when 11 was a single gun shot and he was thrown 12 the wall. The warning signs had obviously got to me 13 I realized consciously what was going to happen, because I had 14 in a cold sweat on seeing the expression on his 15 . The moment the shot rang out, I automatically fell back on my training and threw myself to the 16 .

　　When no more shots followed, I looked 17 and was just in time to see two masked men 18 my“contact” out of the front door of the theatre. I didn't know 19 he was dead or badly injured, but I intended to find out. I got up slowly and carefully and 20 for the door.
