'Hello mate, Good morning, I guess, we have a problem.'
'What problem?'
'I'm sorry to say this but your friend has been taken by the police.'
'WHAT?'
'Yeah! I'm not so sure about what happened. There were around 3-4 police vehicles flashing lights in front of your house. I saw your friend being handcuffed by two cops. He was locked up into the backside of a big van and taken away. I was too scared to ask the cops any further details.'
'WHOLLY SSHHH...'
'I'm sorry mate.'
'Ohh!! Mihai, do you know where they took him?'
'Not sure... probably the Forest Gate police station, I guess.'
'Hmmm... thankyou. Let me check.'
'Also I overheard someone. ...that your friend was frightening everyone in the street with a big knife. To me, he seemed to be a nice guy. I had talked to him yesterday evening. He seemed perfectly fine. Is everything OK with him recently?'
'Yeah!! But I don't know Mihai. He was sleeping when I started from home. I'm not sure what went wrong. We drank a little too much yesterday night. But that shouldn't be a problem. We've done that many times before. Anyway, let me see.'
'Keep me posted, huh?.'
