Shooting in Stockholm
The woman standing on the wing of the Boeing Stearman
plane was wearing dark glasses. The plane flew under a
bridge, and then low over the crowd. The woman waved.
The crowd waved back.
It
was August 9th. The third day of the Stockholm
Water Festival had begun.
It
was twelve o'clock and today
there was a flying show. There were over a hundred
thousand people in the centre of Stockholm, Sweden. The
roads and squares were full of people, who also stood on
the bridges which joined the city's many islands. On the
water there were thousands of sailing boats and some larger
passenger boats.
A jet plane screamed through the blue summer sky.
Everyone looked up. A smaller plane flew over the crowd
near the Royal Palace.
Half a kilometre from the Royal Palace a tall blonde
woman stood in the crowd outside the City Hall. She was
wearing blue shorts and a yellow shirt, and had a yellow
bag over her shoulder. The woman's name was Monika
Lundgren. She was twenty-six years old. Monika watched
the woman on the wing of the Boeing Stearman.
It
would
be an exciting job, she thought.
It
would also be dangerous,
flying high in the clouds and low under bridges. And
probably lonely.
'Hey, you!' a man's voice said loudly. Monika turned. A
6
young man was standing next to her. He was about
eighteen. He was wearing red, white and blue shorts. His
T-shirt said MAD ABOUT FOOTBALL! His head was
shaved and his face was red. He was holding a glass in his
hand. He was English and his voice was very loud.
Monika smiled. 'Hello,' she said, and turned away. She
looked back at the City Hall. The sun was hot and
everyone else was watching the planes.
Monika felt a hand on her arm. She heard a voice.
It
was
the English football fan.
'1 said hello,' the fan shouted.
Monika turned again to the young man. She pushed his
hand away and stepped back from him. Then she smiled
again and turned away. A moment later she felt a hand on
her shoulder. The football fan pulled her shoulder and
turned her around. Then he pulled her towards him.
'Give me a kiss,' the fan said. 'You're lovely.' He smelt of
cigarettes.
A few people in the crowd saw what was happening.
But they didn't do anything. Everyone else was watching
the planes.
Monika looked into the fan's red eyes. He was holding
her with one arm and the glass with the other hand.
Monika suddenly put her arms up over her head. The fan's
arms flew up in the air and he dropped the glass. Monika
was free. She quickly hit the fan hard in the stomach. His
head came forward and down as his hands moved to his
stomach. There was a look of surprise and pain on his face.
Quickly Monika brought her knee up into his face. The
fan fell forward. Monika moved behind him. Her right
hand held the fan's left arm behind his back, while she put
