Synopsis

There’s been a terrorist attack and the police have gathered together witnesses to be interviewed, but things are still a bit chaotic and there’s a lot of hanging around.  Robert is bored with waiting; he popped out for a sandwich and got caught up in the incident.  He’s supposed to be meeting his fiancé this evening but time is getting on. The police officer ushers in Ruthie, ‘a bag lady,’ who starts to question Robert and she tells him about herself.

Another witness enters, Jeffrey, a consultant, and there is a three way conversation as Robert brings him up to date on the situation. Another witness enters, an argumentative yob, Patrick James Carter who is having a right go at the officer for detaining him as it’s causing him to lose business. 

The police officer brings all the witnesses up to date and leaves. Straight away Carter is sounding off and lights up a cigarette and is rude and nasty to Ruthie and Jeffrey intervenes.  Finally the Police officer brings in Happy Harry, a clown, which starts Carter off again, proclaiming that clowns are just paedophiles!  Harry isn’t your normal run-of-the-mill clown, he is tough and reacts to Carter’s taunting and Jeffery and Robert have to break up a potential fight.
