And how could I have expected what was going to happen there? My goodness! It was going to be a test of my mettle..." Archibald Sweeney – Criminal Investigation Department, Edinburgh

“Yes and look at that, how the skull has been pushed in. It went right in, Jesus! Oh well... He didn’t suffer.”
“That’s for sure...” replied Sweeney pensively. “Okay, we’re going back up,” McDermott abruptly decided, having reached the limits of his tolerance to humidity.
As the two men struggled up the incline and removed their disposable gloves, General Boyle called out to them:
“So?”
“Buddy Nelson’s dead... Murdered,” announced McDermott in a monotone.
When Robby Elster heard the news, blood did not drain from his face, as he was already livid with worry. The player opted to turn away. He bent his head and put his hands on his hips as though trying to recover from a punch to the stomach.
As for General Boyle, he burst out:
“Oh, damn it! Is this an epidemic or what? And the tournament starts in three hours... Robby, are you going to play?”
Without even looking at him, Robby shook his head.
“Okay, I understand. We’ll send out a press release to the effect that, for personal reasons, etc.” Then turning to the policemen:
“Gentlemen, I’m counting on you to keep this quiet. Not a hint of it to the media, okay? The show must go on... By the way, Lieutenant, will your team be here soon?” continued the general.
