English novel - Aghast : Ch-9 A few days ago

Detective Sam sat across from Detective Baker. Detective Baker was in charge of this police station. As soon as his phone had come, Sam had lost his desire to play the next game. Immediately he had packed off and came to Detective Baker’s police station instead of going to his own. As they completed their ‘Hi.. Hallow’ formalities, he sat across him to listen to the information he had about the case. Detective Baker took a long pause. Though Detective Sam did not show on his face, his curiosity had reached to its peak.

Detective Baker started to reveal the story, “A few days ago a case came to me.....

.... It was a beautiful town, beautiful green grass and quiet houses all around. The groups of houses seemed to be like groups of twinkling stars spread everywhere in the sky. And in the middle the house groups was an ancient college building nestled in the town.

In the college corridor it was a rush of students, as it was break time. Some students were chit chatting in groups while others were roaming around. John Carter, age around 22, smart, handsome, and his friend Anthony Clark, age around 22, were walking in the corridor, making way through the other college students walking across.
“Anthony, let’s go and sit in Dr. Albert’s class.” John said.
“Are you sure? “ Anthony said in surprise, “I mean, you ok?”
“Just, let’s go and check. Is he still here or did he leave already?” John said. Both of them burst out laughing as if remembering some incident.

Suddenly, while walking John hints at a boy passing by. Anthony looked at him quizzically.
“ That's the boy who's been stealing from the dorms.” John told him in low voice.
By that time the boy had crossed them. Anthony looked back at the boy. Anthony also had lost few things from the hostel.
“How do you know? “ Anthony asked.
“Just look at him.. Don’t you feel like he is a trained thief “ John said.
“It is not sufficient... we need some proof” Anthony said.
“Alex also told me... He'd seen him loitering around in the dorms late at night.” John said.
“ Is it? ... then Let's teach him a lesson.” Anthony said enthusiastically.
“ Yeah, one that he'll remember forever. “ John added.
“ If he lives here that long. “
Both of them laughed.
