Life on the Streets

An early start saw a small group of intrepid Questers congregate in a small corner of a lesser known West London Cemetery. Before long, they were met by an imposing character known only as The Abbott. It would later become clear to our fresh-faced journeymen that this was none other than the Head of the London branch of the crack detective team made famous by the television show Baltimore Homicide: Life on the Streets. Their luck was in; The Abbott was looking for new recruits.

A brisk walk through the eerily silent burial ground was followed by an abrupt halt at what was to be the beginning of a rigorous training programme. The recruits were put through their paces both physically and mentally. They underwent sweat inducing army style drills and learned the importance of being clinically accurate when it came to searching for clues.

Once the Abbott was happy the fledglings had reached an adequate level of competence, he sent them on their first field op. The party was cut short however, as before they could complete their mission, The Abbott received some grave news. The Abbott suspected murder of the most vicious kind and was left with no option but to enrol his minions as full members in order to help crack this case.

All was not as it seemed. As The Abbott was temporarily distracted, an all-too-familiar Caped Crusader, floated through the place the recruits were standing and issued them with a warning to trust no one. But surely he didn’t mean their mentor. Or did he?

Before they had time to ponder the question, the newly promoted detectives were given witnesses to locate and interrogate. Armed with new information the groups reconvened at a disused East London brewery. Their task: to search for evidence. The Abbott had received a hot tip that the victim could be nearby. Before long, a mangled corpse was found under a heap of waste. His body was placed in the patrol car and one recruit was charged to keep an eye on it. The rest of the detectives exchanged their thoughts on how and why this crime had happened but, more importantly, who was responsible.

There was a screech of tyres. The patrol car sped off with recruit and corpse in tow. Except the corpse was driving and the recruit had been kidnapped. The Abbott raced after the vehicle and disappeared into the bustling streets. Left with no lead, the detectives were one less in number with nowhere to turn. Batman came to the rescue. He advised the group that the detective in question held information that could prove very useful to certain powerful people in the beer industry. They also learned that The Abbott was one such person.

Armed with this new evidence, the group set about to track down their comrade and his cowardly captors. It was not long before the safe house in which their friend was being held was located. The detectives exposed The Abbott’s machinations and, Nigel, now a free man, demonstrated the knowledge that would have proved so useful to the men that would have kept him prisoner.

The Questers were rewarded with a pint of ale and full commendation from the Baltimore Homicide Division. All involved thoroughly enjoyed their glimpse into what life was really like ‘On the Streets’.

‘I was part of the group celebrating Nigel's birthday on Saturday and I just wanted to thank you for the most fantastic day. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and I couldn't believe the amount of effort you all go to in order to create a really memorable event. I've been raving about it to friends, family and colleagues since and directing them all to your website so hopefully some further business will come your way. Thanks again and I really hope London Quest is a huge success as you deserve it.’

‘Thanks for an amazing day on Saturday and a birthday surprise I'll never forget. When I got on the tube in the morning I thought I was meeting a friend for a lunch-time pint - I certainly had no idea I'd end up being kidnapped! We all had a great day - the organisation, personalisation, clues, acting and situations were all fantastic. I've already been recommending you to others and have just sent the link to your website around my office. Thanks again and best wishes’
