Well, he exclaimed,
gpt
I don't suppose it occurred to any of you SCIENTIFIC guys to search the fellow, now did it?

gpt
No? The police officer's eyes twinkled. There was enough of the Irish in him to enjoy an encounter of this kind.
human
Maybe not, but you might find things in a chap's pocket which is better. With a flourish he produced a hypodermic syringe, the duplicate of the one I had appropriated, and a tiny bottle.

human
I knew that, replied Kennedy.
gpt
I examined his arm, where he usually took his shots, and found no fresh mark of the needle.

human

gpt
Perhaps you're right.
