Scene Forty Nine: Scotland Yard
The police have taken the British Library’s manager and his assistant into custody.
Detective Inspector Forehaw:
Now, Mr. Haslam, tell me exactly what happened when the relic was taken.
Mr. Haslam:
It is all something of a dream; I can’t seem to recollect anything of detail. I know someone called Mickey Mouse came in and took control.
Detective Inspector Forehaw:
Mickey Mouse?
Mr. Haslam:
Yes, he was very authoritative, but very nice.
Detective Inspector Forehaw:
What did he look like?
Mr. Haslam:
I haven’t a clue, maybe my colleague can tell you.
Detective Inspector Forehaw:
Mr. Barker, can you remember anything about this Mickey Mouse character?
Mr. Barker:
Not a thing, he was like a ghost, and the whole thing is like dream, I feel queasy just thinking about it.
Detective Inspector Forehaw:
What about the other men, who were they and how did they get you to open the vault?
Mr. Haslam:
I don’t know; it is as my colleague says a bad dream.
Detective Inspector Forehaw:
Well you are both under suspicion, several people saw you walk out with them, so you will be kept here until you come up with a better story.
Mr. Haslam:
But I am telling you the truth; this Mickey Mouse person is the one you want.
