We are on the job to apprehend the absconding accused.

Many thanks for your good wishes. The fact is, however, that I have not been ill except a two days attack of indigestion and subsequent fatigue, from which I am quite recovered. It is less easy to recover from a serious attack of indignation.

I have been falsely accused of atrocities by a woman who only wanted to gain mileage by dragging my name into the deep smelly pits of the sewer. She only was playing her self digging her own shallow grave of a lifetime of eternal grief

They tell them to just keep walking north and don't look back. We've tried to apprehend some of these bandits.

That's a high felony. We want to apprehend him as soon as possible.

He went into hiding, which is a good thing. You don't want to confront somebody (who could) possibly apprehend you or hurt you or do whatever.
