* PoliceAreUseless: When Ellen returns to her home and finds that it has burned down, she walks up to a police officer and tells him it was ''her'' house that burned and she can't find her mother or father. Officer Drogue's first response is to ask the traumatized, recently orphaned 10 year old girl if she has an ID that can prove her claim. Ellen produces Aunt Sarah's letter and her monogramed pocket book. The officer promises to take her to the precinct, but warns her she better not be pulling a "kid trick." They never make it to the precinct -- Ellen and Officer Drogue witness a green-hooded assassin kill a shopkeeper and Officer Drogue runs off in pursuit, leaving her alone.
