If you’re writing a thriller
and you have hit a block, try introducing any one of these lines to free things up:
- We’re not who you think we are.
- The premises were clinically clean apart from a swab of DNA we found on some gum near the door.
- The profile suggest he’s a Rolling Stones loving loner.
- Are you saying it could be one of us?
- I want every CCTV film across the city of London for the last 24 hours scrutinised frame by frame. Now.
- Recognise this badge? I’m from the Bureau and this is now our case.
- You have until noon tomorrow. Nobody knows you are on the case and you are totally off the unit’s grid. If anything goes wrong I will deny all knowledge. The bag contains a gun, a passport and 1 million Euros. Everything else to do with you has been wiped. To say good luck would be optimistic.
