SPD: Off to the Judge

[LunarHunk]

K'Tael nodded.� He accepted what Joe had to say considering his
connections to JAG.� "Did you want me to join you while you work on getting the warrents?"

� "If you wouldn't mind, that would be great.� It always helps to have the lead investigator present.� The judges tend to have questions abour certain things, if you know what I mean."

So, off they went to Joe's office to fill out the warrent applications.� Once the warrent applications were complete, Joe and K'Tael went off to see a judge.� Inside the office, the judge reviewed the paperwork.� He was impressed.� Impressed at the stones that these two officers had, coming to him trying to arrest those in medical holding.

�� "Commander K'Tael, just how did you learn of this severed hand?� I am interested in what circumstances and what methods were used to determine it's existance." asked the judge.

"To be honest, sir.   I was not initially involved in the investigation.  It was Commanders Dais and Garibaldi who had approached me about it.  My understanding is that there was some sort of confusion with custom that brought about knowledge of the hand.  Commanders Dais and Garibaldi were assigned to work with the Bajoran Embassy to address health concerns relating to the hand.  They asked me to help them out.  It became more important to other investigations my department has been working on as we delved deeper into the situation."
