DI Malone authorises all of them to be issued with body armour. Kris has his CS gas and baton, he isn't firearms trained so won't be given a handgun or a taser. As a civilian Simon doesn't get given anything - even pepper spray is restricted in the UK. As Jocelyn has firearms training and pre-exist...

Safiya still seems a bit confused and she shakes her head as if trying to clear it. 'I, I...I'm not sure. I think...it feels like I have been here for weeks. But you're the first kids I've seen. Someone came to me... he came to me, before I came here. Came to me at home. Perry , the clown, he said ...

https://i.postimg.cc/jqfb0V6r/Andrew.jpg Andrew winces as he counts out the notes from his wallet to contribute to the eye watering fee. 'How awfully generous of you to allow us to visit at this unsocial hour - we can only apologise that our itinerary doesn't allow us to return in the day. You are ...

At the words of reassurance, Safiya visibly seems to relax a little. She rolls over to sit cross-legged on the ground. Her leg now seemingly uninjured. 'Oh children. What are you doing here. You shouldn't be here.' Her voice is still a little hoarse but is gentle and she sounds genuinely concerned.

'I am sorry that you have had to see so much...unpleasantness,' says the old doctor sadly. 'And now we have an even worse task. We must return to Dame Marie to tell Florence Lavigne what has happened to her daughter.' Laurent notices a tiny tear track down from the doctor's left eye.

https://i.postimg.cc/jqfb0V6r/Andrew.jpg 'I suspect we are the only people at this time of year,' notes Andrew . 'Our time here is coming to an end, the Blackshirts are closing in. I believe it is now or never. I for one do not want to wait for this dreadful place to take a hold and cast me into it...

Laurent 's words shake Dr Clermont from his reverie over the remains of the creature, pinned and splayed across the metal dissecting table. ' Oui, oui , I think we have learned all that we can for now. I will examine some of these samples in more detail but as for the rest...' He indicates the holl...

Asked direct questions, Safiya looks confused, blinking her eyes and staring blankly. Eventually she rasps something incomprehensible about 'The clown...give up your lies...be free...'

OOC:   Maybe she'd respond to a bit of reassurance or emotional support - that'd be a Be a Pal roll

https://i.postimg.cc/5tbdZB7S/dimalone.jpg Malone keys the radio to transmit. 'I say again, all units, all units, this is Romeo Mike. Be advised we are moving witness from social services emergency care to protective custody, witness is at risk from her father. Witness, last name Balfour, first nam...

The doctor takes Laurent through to another part of the hospital, somewhere he's not been before. All the while carrying the glass jar under the green surgical gown. He changes into another one of the green gowns and has Laurent do the same, before pulling on a pair of rubber boots and thick rubber ...

Rolled onto her side the woman coughs and splutters. Darren dresses the wound on her neck as best he can with a few strips of cloth. Where her larynx should be is livid and swollen. For a few minutes she just lies there spitting out blood and vomit. Eventually her heaves slow and she is just breathi...

'Can we afford not to?'

https://i.postimg.cc/5tbdZB7S/dimalone.jpg Malone blusters, 'It...I...oh alright. Yes, it has a garage attached to the main house. It's detached, big screening hedges, a garage to the side big enough for two cars.' He scrabbles around in his desk and eventually produces some sort of plastic chit. '...

Looking at Laurent quizzically, the doctor asks him, 'Do you want to help me?'

With Charlie , Harry , Max , and Louis forming a strong base, Darren is able to climb up onto their backs and reach up to the chains. Now he's up close he can see that the chain is really just wrapped around her neck and pulled taut by the woman's weight. Despite the grisly image he is able to keep ...

Malone frowns. 'I shouldn't really be telling you this, but yes, we do have a house in Summertown in North Oxford. Mostly used for witness protection work. It's empty right now.'

Turning red again and spluttering, Andrew says, 'Always ready for action...uh, I mean, ready to take action...'

The old doctor takes up the glass jar and raises his arms almost to the level of his head, as if he's going to smash it. Then stops, and places it back down. ' Non, non. We cannot. Think what we could learn about these creatures.' He throws the gown back over the jar. 'I will dissect this myself.' O...
