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.
