Scene Sixteen: Police Headquarters
Chief Constable:
What the hell happened over there?
Chief Superintendent Barton:
We don’t know, sir, it should have been an easy job.
Chief Constable:
What about the photos? What do they show?
Chief Superintendent Barton:
It is unbelievable, sir, they didn’t come out.
Chief Constable:
What? How many people were photographing it?
Chief Superintendent Barton:
Perhaps inspector Jackson can explain it better, sir.
Inspector Jackson;
There were six official people recording the event for us, sir, not one of them has any trace of photos or recordings. We can’t understand it.
Chief Constable:
This is ridiculous!
(An officer appears at the door and says, the home secretary’s on the phone, sir)
Chief Constable:
Oh, no. OK, I want some answers; I am not satisfied with this. Chief Superintendent Barton, lock the area down. I will be back later.
(The chief Constable leaves the room)
Chief Superintendent Barton:
What do you make of this, inspector?
Inspector Jackson:
Everyone who saw the event says that the metal ram rebounded upwards as it was about to hit the roof.
Chief Superintendent Barton:
But that’s impossible; it defies the law of gravity.
Inspector Jackson:
Nevertheless, that is what happened. I saw it with my own eyes.
Chief Superintendent Barton:
The press is having a field day. They say we can’t even get into one house.
