notice several of them may converge upon
me and begin to ask question what kind
of question oh questions concerning
unsolved crimes I'm considered somewhat
of an expert in the field of criminology
I like to help the boys in blue whenever
I can well it seems to me helping the

do well thank you no they may even want
me to accompany them to headquarters to
speak to the captain where we see you
