Islington,
London - May 12
The factory had been empty and for sale for some time.
Another potential buyer comes along to see it. The not-so-optimistic
estate agent shows him around and then, in blank astonishment,
stares at what appears to be an enormous box standing
in the middle of the shop floor. On entering the box
through a heavy door, the two men can barely believe
their eyes when they find themselves inside a magnificent
corridor which leads to an elegant room-ornately furnished.
Behind a steel-barred gate, they find a dead girl, and
a gibbering, distraught youth. When Department S are
called in, they find a mystery fit for a king: Jason
King!
