Rivik cast a caustic look at the two Starfleet officers. If looks
could kill, then they would both be rotting in what ever hell Rivik chose
for them. Fortunately that was not the case.
He answered with all that he could, at least for the moment, "Then
carry on......." before he backed off he sent a very harsh look towards
Allso.
Joe took Allso by the shoulder. "Mr. Allso, you are being arrested
on charges of transporting contraband, conspiracy to commit murder, and
assult. You have the right to remain silent. Everything that you say will
be used against you in a court of law. An attourney will be provided to you
at no charge should you not be able to afford one....."
That said they departed the embassy, and quickly took the courier to
Security. once there he was processed- booked- and taken to an interview
room.
Joe began, "Mr. Allso, this can go any number of ways, but it boils down
to this. We can help you if you cooperate. If you choose the hard way you
will get the screw. If you cooperate you will be rewarded with reduced
charges and sentencing reccomendations. Choice is all yours. Take a moment
to think about it.
We do not believe that you are directly involved. That is why you are
here now, and why we are giving you options. However, this is very serious,
and I, frankly, don't care who is nailed for this one. " he now looked to
Dais for him to take over...
