If Hampus took to the tear gas and sudden assault by panicking, wheezing and sandbagging, Clifford reacted in a different but equally unhelpful manner. He started howling, dropping the gold coins he was holding and rolling around the floor, clutching at his eyes. He actually wanted to scream words, but the irritant in the gas wreaked havoc on his throat and he only managed a constant, pained shriek. Even when he was ordered to lie still he continued to roll around the floor crying, but since he didn't make a particularly threatening figure he was just dragged outside along with Hampus. When the interrogation began, he only managed to blurt out "I'M ON YOUR SIDE!".
