Chapter 3

(At the library in McKinley Park Jane and Lisbon walk in and go straight to the desk to see a woman sitting there in her 40s with a name tag labelled Julie)

Lisbon: Hi there we're with the CBI, I'm agent Teresa Lisbon, this is our Consultant Patrick Jane, and we're just making some enquiries about the multiple homicide in the park, can you help us?

Julie: Sure, my name's Julie Carter, I'm the main librarian here.

Lisbon: Do you have any CCTV cameras in operation here?

Julie: Yes, we installed them last year as part of safety measure to ensure none of our books would be stolen.

Jane: You installed CCTV cameras to safeguard books!

Julie: Yes, we have a number of highly valuable volumes here, we didn't want them being stolen.

Lisbon: Well, we're gonna need those tapes, so we can try to identify the killer.

Julie: Oh of course, I'll go and get them, I'll be 5 minutes.

Lisbon: Thank you Mrs Carter

(While Lisbon waits at the desk Jane wanders off and in the children's section he finds a number of children crying and sitting with their parents, one of which (a man in his late 20s) comes up to him)

Man 1: Are you with the police?

Jane: Yes, I'm Patrick Jane, a consultant with the CBI.

Man 1: I'm Andrew Clifton, my son Max, he was playing on the swing set when that madman shot all those people and now he can't stop crying, what's being done to find him?

Jane: With respect Mr Clifton, our investigation has only just begun, but rest assured, we will do everything we can find the killer.

Mr Clifton: Do you have any clues as to who it was?

Jane: I'm not at liberty to say, but we have got a lead that we're pursuing

Mr Clifton: Thank you, find him quick, won't you?

Jane: Oh you can be certain of that.

(Jane walks up to a teenage girl who is comforting her toddler son)

Jane: Hi there, my name's Patrick Jane; I'm part of the team of people investigating what happened, do you mind if I ask you a few questions.

Girl 1: No, my name's Annie, this is my son Jake.

Jane: Ok, Annie, what were you and Jake doing when the shots were fired?

Annie: I pushing him along in his pram and when the shots started I came straight to the nearest building so that I could protect my son.

Jane: Ok, did you by any chance look around you before you came into the library?

Annie: Sure

Jane: Did you see which of the victims went down first?

Annie: It was the teenage girl, god she couldn't have been more that 2 years younger tan me.

Jane: It's ok, I promise we'll do everything we can to put this monster away...

(Before he can continue Lisbon walks up behind him)

Lisbon: Come on Jane, we gotta going back to the CBI

Jane: I'm coming, it was nice to meet you Annie, you too Jake.

(Jane gets up, waves to Jake and walks out of the building)
