Mr Copland has a lot of work today. He must write a report for Mr Baxter. Mr Baxter is a very exacting man. He wants to have the report ready today.

Mr Copland is alone in his office. He is sitting at his desk with a pen in his hand. He is trying to keep his thoughts on the report. He must calculate quickly and without mistakes. But he is not writing anything. He is looking at the ceiling with unseeing eyes. He is dreaming. The sun is shining brightly. The birds are singing. Mr Copland is driving somewhere in South America. Alice is sitting at his side and smiling at him. Everything is quiet but ... Mr Copland begins to realize that he and Alice are not alone in this world. Another car is coming in their direction. The driver is holding a gun in his hand and aiming it at Mr Copland. «I want the report», he says. Mr Copland recognizes Mr Baxter.
