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." "See what you can find out. Let's hook up before the meeting at the embassy, say 1400. We can compare notes and plan our sitdown with the courier." "Sounds like a plan," replied the XO. "I will see you then." With that the two departed. Dais made his way back to Operations. After checking over the reports, it was clear that all was being handled. He made his way over to his office and tried to access the passenger lists of the arriving ships from the previous day, particularly the one that the Bajoran courier arrived on. (anything?)
