As they left, Joe said nothing.  Not until they were well gone.

"They are hiding something.  Something big.  The tactics are quite simple, 
drag things out and make things go so slowly that everymove is a waste. Slow 
things down so they can make up an airtight cover story and dispose of what 
they can not cover.  Quite elegant...  By the way, nice moves in there. Are 
you sure that you hve not done this before?"

A smile was the initial response from the station's XO.  "I am positive that 
I have never done any sort of criminal investigation, but thank you very 
much for the compliment.  I simply followed your lead.  Besides, I could 
sense that he was trying to hide something as well."

"Are you sure you have not does this before... You look like this is old hat 
to you..." Joe answered kidding the XO.  "But seriously, I think that we 
should do some checking on our own into the whereabouts of this courier.  
How he got here, where he was before coming here, and the like.  The only 
way that we are going to resolve this is to be a step or two ahead of Rivik 
and the others working for him.

In more than a few of my open cases that I am working, Rivik and others in 
the Bajoran Embassy keep coming up.  Something is happening in there...  
When we meet with them again at 1500, I plan on issuing a material witness 
order for the courier.  That way we can keep him on the station, and take 
his travel papers.  I will have to go to a judge to get that, but I think 
that I can pull a string or two to have it ready by the time our meeting 
arrives.  Afterall, we can not have our only witness/suspect leaving on us 
now can we...."

Dais nodded.  "You are correct.  I will try to get a flight plan on his 
latest trips for you.  It could be helpful in identifying where the hand and 
itsowner met up with him."
