POLICEMAN A
OK, I am leaving now to let you two
discuss things between yourselves.
But do remember that this is a very
secret matter that you can't
discuss with anyone else. I have
taken a big risk to talk to you

if my superiors hear of this, I can
easily lose my rank. There is one

breed, should make yourself scarce
for a time, and preferably leave
town. If the police catch you, it's
over. You should probably leave
town tonight because they may come
anytime. Do you understand? I'll
come back tomorrow to meet you,
madam.

keeps still for a moment and then wakes up from her stupor to close
the door in a hurry.
