The tentacles of The Goss snaked everywhere. They quickly picked up that Rufus had been arrested concerning the Marcus mystery. The following day's front page read:
SKIN DEATHS
MET FINALLY TWIGGS
RUFUS ARRESTED
Then a subheading:
'Goss report leads police to find young genius in hiding.'
It described Rufus being held at West End Central for a number of grisly murders, possibly including Marcus's heir Tony Branthwaite, found dissected and deep frozen in Marcus's freezer. It talked about Met incompetence, ending with:
...they'd find it difficult to make charges stick in a glue factory!
It didn't reflect well on Twigg!
