this is a low-flying panic attack
Nodding at Pastor Miller, Jamison smiles. "Right, then." Diggory breaks into a run after the man. "Say! You! Stop there. Metropolitan Police!"

"Yes, it's an odd occurrence, certainly. Unfortunately, medicine offers us no way to trace a child's parentage." Richard agrees with Andrew, then frowns on reading the address. "Avebury? Isn't that were they have a stone circle or something? Makes one wonder just what might have been going on."
He looks up from the newspaper as Jamison runs off down the street in pursuit of the fleeing man.
"You know, people never used to run away when they saw me. It's enough to make a fellow quite self-concious..." He says dryly as he starts to jog after the two men.

As Inspector Diggory breaks into a run after the man, the carriage pulls out and clops off up Jermyn Street, heading towards Regent. As the carriage pulls out, a man of foreign appearance, possibly an Arab or an Indian, reaches an arm out of the carriage and grabs at the black object the man who just came out of the garden is carrying.
The carriage is a plain black and has no identifying marks, although you can see from the fashion of it that it is a hearse.
Intelligence checks, DC 12.

Intelligence check 10 +1 =11
Pastor Miller races after the inspector and tries to get a good look at the man grabbing the bag, also what kind of bag is it (just a suitcase, a medical bag, etc)
Spot check 16 +5 =21

You don't recognize the man, but you do manage to catch a good glimpse of him. He is definitely an Indian. You could likely identify him if you saw him again, as he has a distinguishing scar running down one cheek and a pale milky eye...
The parcel appears to be a large book draped in a black cloth or heavy paper.

Will ran along side the carriage as it started away and did his best impression of a relay runner, smacking the parcel into the man's grasping hand. He glanced behind him to see that the pack of men was now running towards him, and looked around for an escape. Seeing a side road, he ducked down the road and tried to loose himself in the crowd.Andrew D. Gable said:

As the carriage clops away, turning to go into Piccadilly Circus, Will turns and runs down Regent Street, plunging into the crowds of the well-dressed and well-to-do milling about the upscale shops. If he can just outdistance his pursuers for a short time more, he could make his way into Waterloo Place and then easily lose them in St. James, ahead... What was Smythe mixed up in?
Will shoved his way through the crowd, upper class gentlemen muttering words better left for the ghettoes of the East End, and even some ladies doing likewise. But at the cry of police from the lead pursuer, a constable pacing about nervously at the base of a church off to Will's right whips his head around. "I say, stop, man!" he shouts. He runs down the sidewalk after Will, reaching for his shoulders.
The Regent Street constable holds the ex-soldier until Diggory and his men arrive.

Diggory, slightly tired, arrives shortly thereafter. "Thank you, Constable, if you'll just stay right here for a little bit, keep a hold of him." He turns to the running man. "Say now, why the hurry, sir?"
