Charity Hall by Joe McArdle
Page 3 of 3 Once police entered, they discovered substansial quantities of, which looked
to the officers to be plankton resin and other substances lying around in the
open. Forensic reports later confirmed this. Also, officers discovered large
amounts of money. It also became a concern to the officers that the condition
of the premises maybe a heath problem. To quote one officer's report. The whole
house was covered with alcohol bottles and drug taking kit slung in every
corner, in every room. Mr. and Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers, officers found Jenny
wedged in your water bed with a turtle and two gentlemen, still unnamed. Benny
had been left alone in the bath. For some time."
Mr. and Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers both jumped up. Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers
spoke first
"Are they ok? Can I see them...I.."
"Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers, please. Let me finish. We had to place Jenny and
Benny in to care. They're ok. They're being looked after."
Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers broke down. Mr DeBuyers-Innsellers helped Mrs.
DeBuyers-Innsellers to stay on her seat.
"Mr. and Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers. Did any of you know what was going on at
your premises?"
The both shook their heads slowly.
"Doctor Shoals-Banks would like to ask you a few questions. Doctor."
"Is Jenny mates with anyone you know about?"
Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers spoke first.
"I don't think so. I've never see her with anyone. She hasn't been making
sounds. Even the times we took her down the marina. We never noticed anything.
She seemed happy just playing with the whales in her class."
Doctor Shoals-Banks lowered her glasses and rose from her chair. She walked
around the panel and stood in front of the clutching couple. She breathed
in.
"Mrs. DeBuyers-Innsellers did you know Jenny was expecting another calf?"
