Don't panic! Everyone, remain calm!" Sebastian recognized the strong, clear voice of Officer Bridges.
The lights came back on, and the crowd of people were muttering among themselves. Mayor Cosley was on her hands and knees on the floor, looking stunned. Several of the men in the group rushed to pull her to her feet. Then someone shouted, "it's gone! Officers Bridges and Byers blocked the entryway to the room."Nobody leave!"

Not on your life, buster! This is news!" Ms. Chandler shouted.
The word tape was replaced by live as Amanda Chandler sighed. "That was the scene just thirty minutes ago, when the newly recovered Delavois was allegedly stolen. Except at the main entrance, the doors to the museum were all locked at the time, and guards were posted at the main entrance and in the hallway leading to the exhibit room. Ladies and gentlemen, we're faced with an art theft that couldn't have happened!"
Sebastian wiggled excitedly. Wow! A once-in-a-career opportunity to solve a locked-room mystery. And what an elite list of suspects! Some of the city's best-know people were there. Even international experts! The eyes of the world would be on this crime. Whoever solved it(and who but Sebastian himself?) would be a celerity. Books, movies, television interviews!
John was definitely going to need his help with this case. But if the museum was sealed off to keep people from getting out, how was he going to get in?
