 53. Oh, alright.
 54. Carter, here.
 55. Hello, sir. Badges reporting. We’ve just left the restaurant. Theo Gusper is Hugo Peters. There’s no doubt about it. But unfortunately, there’s going to be a bit of a bill to pay.
 56. Why? You didn’t eat in the restaurant, did you?
 57. No, sir. The bill is for damage to property.
 58. Damage to property? Why? Never mind. Tell me about it later. What’s Hugo Peters up to? That’s what I want to know.
 59. Yes, well, you see, unfortunately, he got away from us while we were sort of damaging the restaurant as it were!
 60. You’re not making any sense, Badges. Pass me Henson.
 61. Henson here. Sorry about that, sir. It was all Badges fault though.
 62. What’s happened to the cab³ driver who collected Gusper from the airport, Henson? I presumed⁴ you had him followed.
