Hi folks,
Could anyone explain to me why the definite article is used for the first ‘voice’? It’s from A Minute to Midnight by David Baldacci.
They got out and looked around.
“See anyone?” asked Blum.
“No. No cars, either, but the garage might be around back.”
“Can I help you?” said the voice.
They turned to look around for the person.
“Can I help you?” said the voice again.
Thanks as always,
