"Yes, sorry for the interruption. Let's move on." The chief says to the crowd.

                   The chief of police then points to an elderly, grey-haired reporter sitting with his
                   hand in the air. There is something familiar about his face, but he can't

                   remember where he has seen him before.

                     ”This is Owen from Radio One. I also have a question regarding safety in the
                   town. We all know that next week, the Sailor Cup UK will take place, and it is an

                   event of extreme importance, it attracts a significant large number of people.

                   How are you planning to make the people feel safe, while this is taking place? Do
                   you have any considerations in that regard, or could we expect the entire event

                   to be cancelled? "
                   That's the question he's been waiting for all day: What about the Sailor Cup? He

                   hasn't had the time to think about the event, if the safety is sufficient, or if it’s

                   even a good idea in the light of the tragedy. He also knows that the answer he
                   gives here are more than likely to travel all across England. It’s a specifically

                   important what he chooses to answer.

                     “Security will be top-notch, as it has always been. We have currently called in all
                   of the crew from the city, as well as from Luton and Worthing. There will be no

                   trouble completing the Sailor Cup UK,” he replies, trying to sound as convincing
                   as possible.




                   Chapter 4

                   The Clue


                   New things have come to light.

                     The mayor reveals a hint of optimism in his voice; even the lines on his

                   forehead, over the thick, brown eyebrows seemed to be disappearing for a short
                   while. The two very corpulent men gaits back down the hall toward the chief's

                   office. The chief suddenly feels pity for his old friend, of how weary the mayor

                   had become through the years.
                     “Good. We needed to get away from the press conference. Now we can take a

                   look at the cases in calm surrounding. It's probably not as bad as it seems to be
                   right now. "
