Glaring Discrepancies

A glaring discrepancy punctured West’s tale like a hot needle through a balloon – the complete absence of reported thefts in the fortnight post the daring escape. The possibilities were tantalizingly mysterious – either the men had been swallowed by the treacherous bay, or they had managed to alight on some uncharted territory, far from the prying eyes of civilization.

West’s tale was peppered with questionable elements. He professed to be the ingenious puppeteer behind the escape, yet he himself remained caged in Alcatraz. His narrative, however, was all the island prison had to go on. This puzzling conundrum prompted the summoning of the FBI, tasked with the thrilling hunt for the elusive trio who had seemingly vanished into thin air.
