Two minutes later we were standing outside on the pavement with the doorman glowering at us, glad to see us go.

“That was a nice evening,” I said.

“Do you think Minerva enjoyed it?” Tim asked.

“Well, you may have spoiled it a bit when you threw up on her.” I looked around for a bus or a taxi.

“I want to go home,” Tim groaned. He was still looking very green.

“To Paddington Bear?”

“Just get us a cab!”

But as it turned out, we weren’t going to need a bus or a cab. Because just then a car came screeching to a halt in front of us and two men leaped out.

“It’s a police car!” Tim exclaimed.

That was particularly brilliant of him and I wasn’t sure how he’d worked it out. Maybe it was the blue uniforms the men were wearing. Or it could have been the car with its flashing lights and the word POLICE emblazoned on the side. But he was right. I thought they’d come to look after Minerva—but it was the two of us they headed for.

“Are you Tim Diamond?” one of them asked.

“Yes . . .”

“Get in the car. You’re coming down to the station.”

“What’s going on?” I demanded. “What’s happened? And how did you know we were here?”

They ignored me.

The policeman was examining Tim. “We want to talk to you,” he said.

“What about?” Tim quavered.

The policeman smiled but without a shred of warmth or humor. It was the sort of smile a doctor might give you before he explained you only had a week to live. “You’re wanted, Mr. Diamond,” he said. “For murder.”
