"Please excuse me a moment.", Abrams said getting and taking a few paces
away.

Joanna got the impression from Abrams that he was being honest, and that he
was in God's little acre.  West of the rock and east of the hard place.

Jared turned to see if Joanna could get a sense on what was going on.

While the two staff officers spoke, the team could see Abrams writing
something down on his PADD.  A moment or two later he returned to the team.

"I'm sorry Admiral, but something has come up that requires a moment or two
more of my time.  Here is the Admiral's schedule if you would care to make
time for one of his free times.", he said handing over the PADD.  While
sounding a tad dismissive, he left little room for argument as he quickly
turned and left.

Joanna sensed that there was more to Abrams disappearance than he was
saying.  She looked to Jackson to see if he had any other info on it.

Upon examining the PADD, Jared found more than he was expecting.... A note.

***  The walls have ears in this place.  I've been told to find out what you
are after, and try to stone wall you.  If you are serious about
investigating, I may be able to help.  Watch what you say around here. 
Purge this message.

- A
***

Jared did not like what he read, and the frown that formed on his face was evidence of that.  He immediately erased the message from the PADD.  He was going to have to wait to tell the others.  He dropped the PADD on one of the nearby table and looked at the rest of his team.  "I think we are done here for now, at least until Van Der Loo can fit us into his  'busy' schedule."
