IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
The alley was as deserted as it had been when they had arrived. By setting the door in its frame, Archie and Benjamin were able to make sure that it didn't look the slightest bit out of the ordinary. Nobody would know there was anything amiss with it until trying to open it.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
OOC: Nice roll! |
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie nods, satisfied with their work. "Right, Benjamin, I think we should make best time back to the sanitarium. We can show the others what we've found. I suppose we head for the tube but keep an eye out for a taxi."
OOC: I'm not sure what became of the famous London cabs with petrol rationing. If Archie can see a cab, he'll hail it. He can afford it. |
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Yes, let's go back as soon as we can!"

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Benjamin started looking around for a cab.
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie and Benjamin were in luck. When they reached Queensway, they saw a black cab pulled up alongside the curb not far from the Tube station entrance. The driver was a young woman with black hair and a friendly smile. "Hop in, gents!" she said. "Where to?"

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie gives the driver a friendly nod. "Maxwell's sanitarium if you please old son."
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
The cabbie guffawed. "I'm neither old nor anyone's son," she said, "but all right." She pulled out once the two men got in and headed east on Queensway.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie laughs. "I do beg your pardon young lady. I was in a world of my own and I'm still used to taxi drivers being generally, ah, men. Please forgive my lack of attention. I don't know where we should be if so many young women were not prepared to start taking on these hard jobs as the men head off to serve."
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Quite all right, sir," said the female cabbie, "and thank you. I'm rather suited to the job. My father's a cabbie too, and he taught me the Knowledge. The name's Rebecca Hanson."

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Delighted to meet you Miss Hanson. Archie Pennyfeather, navy chaplain, at your service. Of course, we've all heard of the famous 'knowledge' that taxi drivers must have. You should be very proud to have achieved that."
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Likewise," said Rebecca. "It isn't easy. I do have an advantage though. I've always had an excellent memory, which is essential for this job. Especially this week. You never know which streets are going to be blocked off by craters or UXBs from the night before. I always have to prepared to find the best alternate route."

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie nods. "Well, I think you're very brave and clever."
He pauses and thinks for a moment, before going on in a 'making conversation' tone. "Tell me, as a matter of interest, what's the strangest sight you've encountered on the streets in the last few weeks? I imagine you've seen a great deal since the blitz started."

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Thank you kindly," said Rebecca. "The strangest sight? Well, yesterday morning I saw a parachute stuck on a lamppost. At first I had to wonder if maybe a parachutist or a downed pilot had dropped in, but then I saw it had an unexploded mine attached to it. Had it struck the ground or a building nearby it would have gone off. Sheer luck, I suppose. Well, I drove away right quick, found the nearest phone booth, and called it in."

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie shakes his head. "Heaven forfend! Demonstrating my point about your bravery though. Well, all taxi drivers shall be added to my evening prayers now."
Archie lapses into a meditative silence. A moment later, he turns to Benjamin. "I say old boy, let's have a quick look through that notebook you found. We have a little bit of time."

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Here it is again. Probably most important is the meeting at Liverpool Street Station with Madeline at 6 tonight. Something about 'a last chance', so it must be important..."
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
OOC: Are there earlier entries in the notebook? If so, Archie and Benjamin could quickly flick through them looking for anything unusual. |
