Salt & Pepper
I have always loved the place: It has great music, cold beer, and plenty of space to sit and relax without being disturbed by others. The only issue I had was that there were a lot of youngsters coming on Saturday night - which was my favourite of all nights - as that was the day when live music was performed. It always made me feel like a Grandpa tasked to take care of his grandkids on a night out.

Please stay calm and fasten your seatbelts. Thank you".

Strong Evidence. Content Warning.
When the police officers arrived at the school, they first went to the front office and talked with the director for a short time. The secretary then brought them into my office, inside the Computer Lab. They spent a long time with me as I laid out all the facts I knew about the case.
