Doctor Bell has discovered our brief research into the occult related crimes and
has exploded with fury. As a penance, he has directed us to more earthly mysteries
involving Mother Nature. It appears animals are running amok all over the region and
Doctor Bell thinks there is some other motive behind this.
Pulling out the files of ‘Beasts Rampaging’, Bell explains the strange variety of
cases from marauding Bulls to clowder’s of cats on the attack - even trained circus
elephants are going insane. One particular file gets my attention however, a case of
trained monkeys.
It transpires a strange plant residue has been found at the scene of each case. We
identify this as a rare botanical from the Congo region of Africa. However, we decide
we need specialised expertise so pack our bags and together with the case files, catch
the ‘Special Scotch Express’ to London.
