A Case of Mistaken Identity
It was a nice and peacefull night in Miami, Thomas was driving his car along a quiet country road with his friends Paul, John and Stewart. Paul's arm was in a sling as he had broken it a few weeks ago. They were driving to the Pauls home which was a few hours away.
The quiet drive suddenly turned into a nightmare when a car with three men in it overtook them. The man at the back seat appared to have a gun and pointed it Thomas and motioned him to stop. Horrified, Thomas had no choice but to accept the gunmans orders. He stopped at the side of the road. The four friends sat quietly and petrified, wondering what this was all about.
Slowly , the three men in the car got out calmly. All of the men were large and all dressend in black clothing.All of them had guns which they pointed at the four friends. One of the men yelled out in a loud voice for Thomas and Paul to get out of the car with their hands up while John and Stewart stayed in the car guarded by one of the men. Again they had no choice but to obey their orders. Paul, of course, could only raise one hand, the other being in a sling.
While everyone one was frightend and a bit stressed out small chatter was being talked by the three men. Paul could not hear all of the conversation however he heard a few words which were, “ Broken arm ... Skinny ... Fiat .... Four people “ and asked Thomas what could this mean.

Satisfied and unsatisfied at the same time that they were unarmed, he demanded to see all of their identity cards. Paul and Thomas handed their ID’s over while John and Thomas were not required to produce an identity card to the police officer. The officer scrutinized the cards.
