No.2
is in his office listening to a birthday greeting to No.6, and feeling there
was something not quite right about it, he checks up on No.113 in a file.
No.113 happens to have been an old woman in a wheel chair who died a month ago.
But what of his assistant No.14? Look at him, catching 40 winks! Suddenly he
hears the steel doors of No.2’s office open; he quickly jumps up and stands to
attention.
There he is giving No.2 the impression that
he’s been standing to attention in the foyer all the time. Mind you it’s no
wonder No.14 fell asleep, because he hadn’t assisted No.2 in any way, since
that evening they followed No.6 down to the Stone Boat and found that envelope
containing nothing more than blank sheets of paper! And although two
interrogations had taken place involving the Head of Psychiatrics, and the
conductor of the Brass Band, No.14 is not involved. Yes he accompanies No.2 to
the Control Room, the only action he takes is to lead the poor Supervisor away,
possibly for treatment and interrogation. After all he could be one of those
“enemies” we read about in that article in The Tally Ho!
Be seeing you
