Major Search Chapter 4 - The Chase As the three children walked up the frozen road, they heard a noise coming from behind them. It sounded like footsteps crunching towards them in the thick white blanket on the ground. Annie looked behind her shoulder. A plump, short policeman came striding towards them shouting, "Stop right there you lot!!" The policeman started running. He was shouting something that was very hard to hear due to the crunching of the snow. Annie turned to her brother and sister and shouted, "Run!" They ran as fast as their legs would carry them. Rosie then tripped on a large stone. She went flying, face-first into the cold snow. Rosie screeched as she felt an icy hand grasp her collar on her navy blue, gingham dress. The policeman held her up, at eye level by her collar. "Now, what are you doing out of your beds at this time in the morning?" Rosie starting kicking and waving her arms about in panic. Edmund and Anne came running up and started hitting the policeman. Edmund then grabbed a stone and threw it at the policeman's leg. He immediately fell to the floor, dropping Rosie and clutching his leg in pain. The three of them ran once more.
