"Here's what I gathered...we're supposed to be training the planetary
security forces....but they're coming back at our own people. Kind of biting the
hand that feeds them....but I think they're being told to somehow. It all comes
down to Van Der Loo." There was a touch of vindictiveness in his
voice.
Jared placed the PADD down and looked at his visitor. He felt a great
deal of compassion for the man sitting before him. The treatment he went
through is unforgivable. "Captain, I am more than willing to pursue that
line of investigation, but we have to be careful that we find full proof of what
happen. Otherwise, the people responsible will not get what they
deserve." He left out the fact that he did not want to prosecute VanDerLoo
unless the man was truly guilty of the crime, and their sense of justice had to
presume his innocence until they proved otherwise.
