Last night, while he was ulistairs, two servicemen were seen to approach the door, deliberately smash the.panel, and saunter casually down the street. The glass was shattered by a hottie. Dr. Steele immediately informed the police and two military police attached to the visiting servicemen subseqquently arrived.
