That got Joe's attention. "Signtseeing..."

"That is interesting. He stopped by two good spots to meet with smugglars,
theives, and where you can do what you want to without fear of heavy law evforcement
coming down on you.... What else did you find?"

"I bet I can guess it in 3 tries..."

Joe took a moment or two to review the materials that were on the PADD. It was
all too good to be true. The cover up had started, and they were just about a step
ahead of the bad guys. If they were good, and moved quickly there was a chance that
they could stay a step ahead.
"Looks like it is a good thing we got the material witness order. ", Joe said after
finishing the reports. "I think we should start off quite polite... smile and
friendly greetings. Once we start easy then we blitz'em. I will inform him of his
rights. Then, you start by asking a few simple questions. Nothing really deep, just
general type questions as if you rae trying to see to it that he gets off. When you
are about to finish up, I hit them with the harder questions, and finish with the big
gun- the witness order. From there we leave and watch the comotion and follow it to
where it leads..."
