72. The trip to Newcastle

Alice, Natalie and Detective Smith have suspicions about Michael Wright, who appears to be in Newcastle.

Detective Smith: Okay. The next step is to travel to Newcastle. We have to prevent the drawings from being sold on the black market.

Alice: Also… there is a ferry port in Newcastle.

Natalie: So if he manages to sell the works, he can get a ferry to Holland and leave the country.

Detective Smith: Exactly. We have to leave as soon as possible. I understand if you prefer to stay here and enjoy your holiday.

Alice: Are you joking, Detective Smith?! We wouldn’t miss this for the world!

Detective Smith: Ha ha ha. Okay, get in the car then, because we’re leaving right now!

Natalie: This plan is crazy!

Alice: If you want to stay, I get it….

Natalie: No, of course not! This is a crazy plan… that I want to be part of!

Detective Smith: Okay then, say no more.
