„Perhaps they‟re not too far from the point,‟ Kirstin sug-
gested.
„Yes,‟ Bill chuckled. „But it would fall outside the jurisdic-

should investigate.‟
They scrambled over boulders and reached a point opposite
a dead tree.
Kirstin raised her binoculars and looked in the direction
of the tree. She was adjusting focus when he next spoke.
„What do you want to tell me?‟
She lent forward and peered at the tree.
„We think we‟ve uncovered major irregularities in the
conduct of the Narcotics Bureau.‟
„Could you elaborate?‟
„We have reason to believe that David Paget and Timo-
thy Price were not involved with drugs. We have evidence
which suggests they were tricked into a compromising situ-
ation.‟
„You think they were set up?‟
„Yes.‟
Kirstin gave an account of everything that had hap-
pened. She ended with a comment about her sleeping arrangements.
„I spent last night in the garage on a camp
bed with an unlicensed gun by my side.‟
„Why the garage?‟
„It‟s the safest room in the house and the last place an
intruder would expect to find me.‟
Bill Endicott took a notebook from his pocket. „I shall ar-
range for more appropriate protection. I shall also look into
the possibility that you be seconded to a special team. We
need to formalize your role and that of the other two members
of your group.‟
