Cecil turned to Gerald. "With him awake, she's probably running around somewhere, looking for the police. We've got to do something to bring her back." He thought for a moment. "Do you remember where we put those hypodermics?"
"I'm not certain," Gerald said vaguely.
"Then run along and look for them. Hurry before she goes too far."
As Gerald hurried away, Cecil turned back to Marc with a slow smile. "This is going to work out just fine," he said. "We'll give both you and the girl a nice long sleep. I doubt she's had time to do any harm yet."
It was only a few minutes later that Benny pulled the car to a stop in front of the police station.
"Well," Dippy said with muted gloom, "here it is, lady."
Toffee opened the door and started to get out. "You coming along?" she asked.
Benny shook his head. "They'd never believe it if we told 'em even. We're goin' to open up a religious liberry instead."
"Well," Toffee said affectionately. "I certainly want to thank you two for being so kind. I just hope I didn't interrupt anything for you."
