Peur sur la ville (Fear Over the City) Page #6

---

We just took the Muette exit.

We're now at Henri Martin st. Corner of La Pompe.

Heading for the Trocadero.

We're taking Clevere, heading for L'etoile.

What should I do, chief?

Chief? What do i do?!

What the hell is he doing?!

TV-105 calling TV-108, what should I do, chief?

I'm dropping Minos, I'm on my way!

I suppose you know what you're doing?

Shut up.

He coming to the roundabout.

Duviel, I'm at the roundabout, I'll cut him

off at the Champs Elysees.

I think he spotted me! He just took the side alley.

He's cutting through Les Champs Elysees,

he's taking Colisee street!

I'm through, chief, stuck in traffic.

There! That's him!

Duviel, forget it, I got him.

Police! I just want to take a look.

Which line in that one bottom right?

Nation, by Denfer.

This is commend center calling Nation 603, come in.

This is Nation 603, over.

Do not make any other stops. Keep rolling

until further notice.

The preceding train is 6 minutes ahead of you.

Nation 603, do you copy?

Roger, command center. Over and out.

Nation 603, you are now 5 minutes from the preceding train.

Please stop!

For the first time in criminal history, a man accuses the

police of deliberately letting him go.

In a letter sent to our newspaper,

Minos, the strangler of single women, claims:

"I was a few minutes ahead of Police Chief Letellier,

when he abandoned pursuit."

And in the Figaro: "Minos snitches on the police."

"If I kill again tomorrow, police chief Letellier

will share the responsability".

"Trigger-happy cops prefers to settle

his score with the mafia"...

"Between Minos the strangler and Marcucci the thief,

Letellier's old vendetta..."

Etc, etc.

I spent the morning listing to the Minos

tapes with a psychiatrist.

So?

According to him, we are dealing with a

paranoid schizophrenic.

-Aie!

-Yes, not good, at all.

Between 2 attacks, we are looking at an average man,

lost in a crowd.

And this man, who is probably well-regarded

of his neighbors and landlord,

Suddenly becomes a bloodthirsty madman

Condemning all those who do not share his morals.

Minos, it's a great case.

Any cop would beg for it.

Not I.

Marcucci, I would have eventually caught in 5 or 10 years,

it's my category. A no-brainer.

But that schizo-thing with paranoid tendencies,

that's not my thing.

I don't measure up. And so, Mr Commissioner,

I asked to me taken off the case.

There.

Letellier!

Aren't you going a little far?

There's no-brainer and there's no-brain, all muscle.

What ARE muscles, really?

A few grams of hard gelatin conveniently placed.

Sometimes useful to keep cops alive.

Letellier you are the criminal brigade's chief,

not a nightclub bouncer.

That you prefer westerns to psychology
