One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bibber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact（接触）.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat,”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed.

【1】Vicki could get over ￡30,000 reward money, couldn’t she?

【2】How did Vicki feel when she opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policeman lined up in the car park?

【3】Why did Vicki become suspicious of David Bieber?

【4】Where was David Bieber most probably handcuffed?

【5】How long did the whole event probably last from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers?

Life affects friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things a【1】 us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.

When we were children, we had best friends. No matter what h【2】, we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we get older, memories fade, faces blur, and ever friends’ names from childhood are f【3】.

Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly? Perhaps you will see that you can’t control o【4】. If someone wants to be your friend, it is their choice. All you can do is to treat them well and do the best for them when you are w【5】 them. Then you wish them well when they leave.

You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is f【6】 of incredible joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day becomes a m【7】 and the sting will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go. It’s the way life works, after all.
