The List of Adrian Messenger Page #3

One of those Scottish trains ran

off the rails. 16 were killed.

Dalkeith was one of them.

72%.

All right, Pike.

All information

available about these deaths.

Who are the three not heard from yet?

Quincey, Rouce and Slattery.

Q., R. and S., eh?

Run them down and find out

what links these men together.

There must be some

common denominator.

Very well, sir.

Shall I report to General Gethryn?

Yes. You would anyway.

Right. Pike, l suppose

it's occurred to you that...

if any of the three

remaining men is still living,...

we can't be sure that

he isn't responsible...

-for the removal of the others.

-Quite.

We don't want to show them even

a shadow of a policeman.

We can't have our fox

going to ground.

Don't worry, sir.

We won't show them any shadows.

-Any other notions?

-Yes. lf you have no objection,...

I'd like a word with LeBorg.

According to the newspapers he

was the last to see Adrian alive.

He tried to save his life.

London clinic,

room 327.

No more visitors.

l am a weak man.

-l have a headache.

-Just take this please.

-There's a lady for the gentleman.

-No visitors.

She says she's a relative of Mr.

Messenger.

Let her come in,

but let her stay but a moment.

Ill see to that.

You may come in, Milady.

Madame, you will

forgive me if l do not rise.

-Im sorry about your...

-Cousin. He was very dear to me.

-He had no family of his own.

-l see.

l want you to know how grateful l

am for your efforts to save Adrian.

That was only in your newspapers.

Mr. Messenger was in the water,...

he reached for the raft,

l only helped him aboard.

And alas, he died.

It was just bad fortune that

we were not found in time.

Im very sorry, Milady, but...

-Ill push the button for you.

-But you said...

Its all right, Sister.

Im just leaving.

Lady Bruttenholm, please.

For the first time,

my headache does not ache.

There is a gentleman to see you.

l told him he couldn't.

He asked me to give you this.

They eyes, they will not focus,

if you will not mind?

"Will Ajax see Polidor?"

Polidor?

It is a name from antiquity.

Open the door!

It is my old comrade in arms.

Mr. Gethryn, you can go in.

Thank you.

Jocelyn, Im delighted to see you.

-Wretched business, this one.

-Hi, Anthony.

This is Ajax? l must say you look

as though you've been through a war.

-Polidor, my friend.

-The pig is dead.

Down with the pig.

There is no man

l would rather meet.

-You mean you don't know each other?

-Only on the short wave.

l thought you may have had many

questions already about Messenger.

What is it you wish to know?.

Everything Messenger said,

in the order he said it,...

and whether or not it
