Garth is having an evening out in London enjoying himself in
restaurant with drinks and female company
Lady- you know you are seen only off and on these days, what
are you doing with yourself these days?
Garth- if I tell you,-- you won’t believe me
Lady – nobody can keep you down, can they dear?
Garth spotting Alek bell who is a detective-excuse me for
minute I have spotted an acquaintance, will be back soon..
Garth meets detective Alek bell- you look disturbed worried
alek, have they put you back on patrolling?
Sometimes I wish they would do that-says the detective
Some miscreants have robbed 10 million pounds worth of
bullion
……from a trans atlantic airplane. My train leaves at
midnight want to come with me?
Garth- sorry alek .but I have a date tonight
A train up to Scotland?
At midnight? I have still enough time to catch it –garth is thinking with the
girl in his arms on dance floor
Lady-“you seem lost in your own thoughts.. what is bothering
you dear?
Garth has escorted the lady back to her apartments
Lady –“it was an enjoyable evening, how can I thank you?
Garth leaning on her taking her in his arms and kissing her
lips-“like this”
Lady invites garth to come in and have a drink, garth
[looking at his watch declines politely,--“not this time ...i just remembered, I have a job to do.” I

Eddy MacManus and his gang has reached Lake Glenoiig—
“What is that hut like thing eddy?”
I have rented this for
our work now unload that gold and come to the boat house, we will hide this
gold in the lake-instructs eddy.
The big crate holding gold bullion is slowly lowered by a
thick metal chain on pulley in to the depths of loch glenoig-“is everything ready,
we shall hide it there till the things cool down a little...”
Eddy- take that van, on the knoll, we will hold it when you
can slowly release the breaks
“Let it go”
The van is plunged into the depths of lake waters
Eddy MacManus gang has both the gold and the van in the
depths of glenoig waters---“only nick and duchy will remain here , rest will
accompany me back to London-“ says eddy
“You two will remain here and will be watchmen of this
building, see that no undesirable bums wander in here, but no hanky panky! Ok?”Eddy
confronts nick and eddy .
Very well eddy-they meekly respond!
Nick will stay here will there be any “birds?” around here
boss?
There will be.. here they will be wearing skirts and probably shave their beards.
Garth reaches a village near loch glenoig in Scotland—
Professor lumiere? He
is at the excavation site , will not be back till late in the night—he is
informed
No matter, will
find him out myself-says garth
Garth meets professor lumiere- hello proff! How are you did
you find anything useful?
Come Garth you are welcome, so happy to see you, how did you
reach here?
Lumiere- we have made some progress that spearhead and shard
of pottery are most certainly roman
Garth spotting a lady
working in the digs “who is that woman professor?”
Page-06
Lumiere- she is my coworker professor meriwhether!
Garth –you did not tell me that she was a lady!
Proff- it was irrelevant , she is a scientist. She is
specialist in her field
What a
specialist garth comments mischievously
–intoduce her to me
I thought
archeologists are so boring-says garth.
Then you have to learn
a lot responds professor merrywhether
I have been talking
to many locals, have you heard of
sighting of a gigantic beast in loch glenoeg
Garth asks proff
lumiere and jane merry whether
Lumerie- yes, some fairytale! Spread by some drunken hunter,
or hut collapsing and someone losing his life in the accident.
Garth – I find some fact in this , what do you feel jane?
Jane- I believe professor is right, science demands proof.
Jane- giant monster!
What nonsense!
Garth- ok jane I dare you , tomorrow we go to glenoig lake.
Jane- I cannot desert lumiere
Lumiere no! you go, you deserve some rest after hard
work at the excavation site
Jane[turning to Garth] – you have embroiled me in to this ..
Garth- no Jane even a dumbest scientist would not let go of
this chance to solve such a riddle!
Next morning an
elderly couple is picnicking on lake banks—
Lady- but villagers
say…
Man- oh gwen who would believe this , there is no monster in
the lake-let us eat and drink!
Monster emerges from the lake….
Man continues-“ they must be wanting to monopolize thee
place for themselves and to keep us away they spread such canards!
Lady-[horrified at seeing the beast emerging behind her
husband’s back] SCREAMS—ERNIE…O…MY GOD!
