                                    183of an elusive life forms we have known about for over thirty years, since they were first spotted. The public have never been told about them. They pose no risk and live their entire lives underground. We have never managed to capture one to find out more about it.%u201d%u201cSo you think there is an opportunity now?%u201d Sarah asked.%u201cWe do,%u201d the suited man replied.%u201cWhat will you do if you capture one?%u201d Daniel asked.%u201cThey%u2019ll likely kill it and cut it to bits to find out more about it,%u201d Sarah said, scathingly.%u201cNot my department,%u201d the man answered. %u201cNow. Do you mind if we search the house to make sure it did not somehow return and is hiding here.%u201d%u201cBe my guest,%u201d Daniel said.%u201cAnd you, Miss. Sarah., and you, Sir, Daniel. Did you not see the creature enter. I presume it was an upstairs bedroom.%u201dThey both shook their heads.The man stood up and went to the door, opened it, spoke to the two soldiers outside, and returned. %u201cI%u2019ve asked to search your property in case it came back inside. Once we have explored the hole, trucks will come day and night carrying rocks, garbage, and dirt to fill in the hole. Steel girders will be cemented in pace and covered in concrete. It will take several weeks but I%u2019m pleased to tell you that there is no danger of the hole growing bigger. The houses are safe, and it means everyone can return to their homes.%u201dThe Sink Hole
