A television drama by Jane Rule – CALUM
Being a reporter from a large news company I was told to go to the scene of where a bank robber had fled to, my job was to find out what exactly had happened. Finding out what happened meant asking around and seeing the crime scene for myself. when I arrived at the crime scene there were police cars and residents standing outside their houses, I would first see what the cops had to say about the situation, they said on camera that a bank robber had ran from the cops just a bit earlier that day and that he had shot a cop who then fired back. I spotted a man running out onto the street hand covering what looked to be a wound on his shoulder, in just a few seconds I heard the Police call out that the suspect has been apprehended on. After hearing that this was the suspect I relayed the information to live news feed and just like that my day was over.
People normally respond to news as a general idea of the situation and not what actually happened. Carolee in the story near the end was talking about how she could have told the reporter her story and had the news story be completely true but instead, because of people like carolee, some parts of the story never get out.
(Sorry for it being a little bit long, its hard to explain concisely.)
