Right before you split up, Ian calls the offices of the Los Angeles Times. They'll be waiting for Holly and Christopher and will provide all the support they can. It's a ride of about half an hour to get to the newspaper's offices, and by the time you get there, a steady rain is falling on the city, and looking at the black sky above, it promises to get much worse.

Spoiler:

Holly has a bad feeling.

As Holly drives towards the newspaper's office, she notices a black car following. She isn't certain at first, but as the time passes, and she makes a couple of turns, she grows more and more sure, and points the car out to Christopher. You are now getting close to the newspaper's office address. There appears to be only one man in the car, and you can't make much of his face from the distance, but he appears to have black hair and no beard.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2016 7:08 pm**

"We're being followed," says Holly, glancing in the mirror. "Clean-shaven man with black hair in a black car. I can probably lose him, but should we? If I try to shake him, he'll know we're onto him. We could also try to lead him into a trap and see what we can get out of him, since there's two of us and he's alone, but that could be dangerous. Or we can just continue about our business for now without tipping our hand."

Christopher Fontana

Christopher nods at Holly's revelation "I can't check without the person following noticing." he says with a frown, this is a worrying situation indeed. "Only one man... if we carry on to the newspaper's offices then he might be able to call on reinforcements while we were inside, if he had reinforcements to call on of course. We have to assume that the person is somehow affiliated to the oriental thugs we ran into and maybe any remnants of Echavaria's gang of followers."

Christopher opens his briefcase to double check that his shiny new automatic pistol is inside "I am armed, so we could attempt to 'turn-the-tables'." he says pulling the pistol from the briefcase, he doesn't sound too confident however. "I guess the best thing to do would be to pull up outside some stores.. see where out tail parks, perhaps there would be a way to sneak up on him."* he adds, as a plan comes together...

OOC: * Pull up outside some stores... see where the tail parks... go into a store.. exit out the back and use the 'service' ally to get around and behind the other guy...

sounds plausible?

Posted: **Wed Dec 14, 2016 3:21 am**

"I'm armed too," says Holly, the weight of the pistol against her thigh reassuring her. "He might not be expecting that." She looks around for a suitable place to park.

Posted: **Sun Dec 18, 2016 8:51 pm**

You park in front of an elegant cafè that seems likely to have a secondary exit. While entering, you notice the black car parking thirty or fourty meters behind you.

OOC: If you want to try and sneak up on him, I'll need a Stealth roll from you.

Posted: **Mon Dec 19, 2016 1:55 am**

"I'm not all that sneaky," says Holly. "Maybe I should wait in the car behind the wheel while you go inside. Then, when you make your move, I can join you. Hopefully he'll stay outside the whole time watching me, thinking I'm just waiting for you. If he comes after me while you're in there, you can still get the drop on him, but I don't think he will. He doesn't know we're onto him yet. Of course, it might look strange if we don't both go in there together. I could go in with you, but then you could take the lead in sneaking up on him, and I can join you once you're in position, or if he spots you."

Posted: **Tue Dec 20, 2016 4:48 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christopher manages to spot where the car that's tailing them parks, it's a bit further away than he would have hoped for but he should still manage to get 'the drop' on who-ever was driving.

"No, I think it's best if you stay here in the car, less chance that our 'new friend' will leave his car is we split up. I'd suggest that you wait on the side-walk rather than in the car and keep an eye out. If the mysterious man comes towards you then get into the Café and stay there."

Christoper quickly removes his automatic pistol from his briefcase and tucks it into the waist-band of his trousers, hidden by his jacket, as he gets out of the car. After taking a sneaky look he leans on the door and speaks through the open window. "Looks like he's still there, wish me luck!" he says with a wink and then enters the Café and locates the other exit.

Walking carefully, without haste he circles around and approaches the 'target car'...

Posted: **Tue Dec 20, 2016 10:15 pm**

Christopher sneaks out from the back door and traces back some fifty meter before returning to the main street. He can see the black car fifteen meters ahead, and starts walking slowly towards it. Running would get him there faster, but it would certainly alert the man inside. So he walks, trying to look just like another passer-by trying to reach his office before the weather gets worse. After what seems to be minutes, but it's in reality only a few seconds, Christopher reaches the car and open the door. He slides inside, pointing the gun at the man, keeping it low so that no one from outside would be able to see it.

The man opens his eyes wide and raises his hands: "Whoa! What the... if it's money you want, you can take my wallet, just don't shoot me all right?"

Posted: **Wed Dec 21, 2016 2:54 am**

Holly remains standing where she is, acting as a lookout, keeping an eye out for any sign of police or anyone taking an interest in the car. She doesn't intend to approach it unless Christopher signals to her or if there's trouble. She has a dose of sedative prepared in her medical bag in case they need to put the man to sleep.

Posted: **Wed Dec 21, 2016 6:43 pm**

Christoper Fontana

"This isn't a robbery, put both hands on the steering wheel and keep them there..." he says as menacingly as he can. "Now.. why are you following my colleague and I?"

OOC: When appropriate Christopher will get the other man to 'honk the horn' and wave through the open window to attract Holly's attention.

Posted: **Sat Dec 24, 2016 6:16 pm**

The man expression turns to rage for a second, then he says with disgust:"All right, asshole. You got me. I messed up good, thought you and pretty lady there were a couple of amateurs. So, how do you wanna play this out?"

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2016 4:18 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Keeping his gun trained on the other man Christoper waves out of the window to attract Holly's attention.

"Watch your language in front of the lady..." Christopher says as he quickly jabs the muzzle of his automatic pistol into the other man's ribs. "So, why are you trailing us?" he asks in a conversational manner waiting for Dr. Chastain to saunter up the side-walk.

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2016 6:13 pm**

"Look, it's nothing personal, alright? I'm just doing my work. Be happy, you have got an admirer in LA. He wanted to know everything about you guys", he says sarcastically.

Outside the car, Holly sees Christopher gesturing her to get into the car.

Posted: **Thu Dec 29, 2016 1:27 am**

Holly sidles up to the car and slips into the back seat, behind the driver. "You know who we are," she says. "It's only fair that you tell us who you are. And, while you're at it, you can tell us who your work for."

Posted: **Thu Dec 29, 2016 9:32 pm**

"Look, I can't really go around telling the name of my clients, right?", he says raising his hands and clearly faking a smile, then says: "Look, let me give you some free advice, just because you have a pretty face and I would hate to see it in a body bag", again the fake smile, aimed clearly at Holly this time, "You guys are in over your head, even if you don't seem to notice. Let me talk with my client, I'm sure we can negotiate a deal that's satisfactory for all parties involved. I can get you some money I think, a nice sum, and in exchange you'll go back to your homes, and families, and friends, and forget any of this ever happened. What do you say?"

Posted: **Fri Dec 30, 2016 3:04 am**

"We are aware of the stakes," says Holly, looking him in the eye, "We can't just walk away, and we're not in this for the money. We've already been threatened, and I've taken a beating. We know what we're up against, and we know they play for keeps. You haven't told us your name, but I'm sure it's on your identification." She glances at Christopher for a second. "You might not name your clients, but they're probably the same bunch we're investigating - unless there are two groups of murderous, drug-dealing perverts. You might have been better off doing some research into them before agreeing to work for them. They may pay well, but I'm guessing they don't tolerate failure. And you've failed, now that we've made you. At the very least, they'll stop paying you. Or maybe they'll put you in a body bag. They might do that anyway, just to make sure you don't tell anyone what you know.

"However, there's a way out for you. I have a counteroffer, one that you'll find profitable. You continue to report back to your clients, telling them what we tell you to tell them. They're satisfied, and they continue to pay you. In addition, we pay you and become clients of yours."

Posted: **Fri Dec 30, 2016 9:56 am**

"Well, I'm glad to hear you have thought this through. And you got that right, shitstain, I have failed. But if i start talking, it's gonna get a whole lot fucking worse, and my client... well, I'm not keen on getting on his bad side. So I think I'm going to shut myself up, yeah, that's what I'll do", and he stops talking.

Christopher can make a quick search of his pockets to find out his wallet and ID. There's some cash in the wallet, but not much. The ID reveals the man's name, Jack Pizner, and a home address, in the southern part of the city, no more than twenty minutes away from where you are.

Posted: **Sat Dec 31, 2016 2:54 am**

"And here I was trying to be nice," says Holly. "After that rudeness, I wouldn't feel so bad if I were to make you talk. However, that might not even be necessary. Any private detective worth his salt keeps good notes."

Posted: **Sun Jan 01, 2017 2:34 pm**

"Be my guest", he says, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Posted: **Sun Jan 01, 2017 6:14 pm**

"Thank you for you consent," says Holly, grinning back. She feels less compunction about her idea now. She nods to Christopher. "We should probably all go some place private." She knows that scopolamine has often been used in conjunction with opioids as a form of anesthetic to put a patient into twilight sleep, and she is also aware of studies about its potential use as a truth serum. It did have side effects, one of which was memory loss of things that happened shortly before exposure, so it was possible he wouldn't even remember being questioned or even this entire encounter, and it would also cause drowsiness. She is confident that her medical and pharmaceutical knowledge will allow her to administer the proper dosage.

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2017 9:25 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christoper pockets the man's ID and cash, he can always give it back later or not, depending on how things panned out. Holly had a good point about keeping records - they could go and search Pizner's house for anything that would indicate who his client was. Christopher was concerned about how quickly they had been tracked down, how could that happen? Someone at one of the places they'd been to find information must have put Pizner onto them or, more likely, been in touch with the person or people employing Pizner. Christopher and Holly had to try and find out who is after them and also find a way to keep Pizner 'out of the picture' for a few days.

Christopher jabs Pizner in the ribs again "I warned you about your foul mouth." he says. "Well, Pizner] I can see your mind is made up... " he mimes pushing the plunger of a syringe with his left hand so that Holly can see it "... I doubt we could persuade you to inform on your client... perhaps there is a deal to be done.."

OOC: Jab him here - we can man-handle him out of th car and onto the back-seat, then go over to his house and see what we can find.

Posted: **Wed Jan 04, 2017 4:41 am**

Holly nods and takes her prepared sedative out of her medical bag, with which she injects Pizner. "Pleasant dreams," she says in a sweet tone.

Posted: **Wed Jan 04, 2017 1:20 pm**

Pizner reacts violently at the injection: "What did you inject me... bitch... I'm gonna kill you! Fuck...", he struggles, but Christopher manages to restrain him until the sedative kicks in and he falls unconscious. You then move him on the back seat and plan your next moves.

Spoiler:

Posted: **Wed Jan 04, 2017 6:19 pm**

OOC: The goal would be to get him into the back seat - and drive over to his house - we have his address and presumably door-keys. I don't know if it's worth trying 'truth serum' at the moment but we will probably need to do something to get Pizner off our backs (I have an idea) If anyone asks... "ohh .. well our friend is a bit 'worse for wear' I'm afraid..." intimating that Pizner is ill or drunk (even at this hour).

Oh, if Holly is confident that Pizner is out of it for over half an hour or so then they take both cars (Christopher driving Pizner's vehicle).

Posted: **Thu Jan 05, 2017 4:19 am**

"He should be out for a while," says Holly after Pizner falls unconscious. "If we can't find his notes, there may be another way to get the information out of him. I feel kind of bad about abusing my medical skills to do this, but I don't feel quite as guilty considering his attitude. There's a drug called scopolamine. It's used in conjunction with opioids as a type of anesthetic, but it doesn't render the patient fully unconscious. It puts him in a kind of twilight sleep. It has another potential use: as a truth serum. There have been studies on it, but they stopped doing them because of the side effects. It won't kill him, but it can cause short-term memory loss in addition to drowsiness. That's probably a good thing if we have to use it. I don't think I have everything I need in my bag, but as a doctor I can get it. I can take my car to do that and then meet you where you're going. We may not need it, but it's better to be prepared."

The address for Pizner's house leads Christopher to a poorly kept bungalow in Hollywood. The man is still sound asleep when he gets there, and after checking to make sure that the area is as empty as possible, Christopher carries him inside. It's small, and slightly stinky. Christopher drops off Pizner on a chair and starts looking around. The search doesn't lead to anything useful: some guns, plenty of booze, and a stash of relatively tame pornography. Either Pizner doesn't keep any record of his investigations, or those records are not here.

Ten or fifteen minutes later, Holly joins him. She has gathered all the necessary ingredients, and can now prepare the truth serum. Pizner is still asleep, but looks like he's starting to regain consciousness.

Posted: **Sat Jan 07, 2017 5:11 am**

"I'll get it ready," whispers Holly. "Can you keep my 'patient' company?"

Posted: **Sat Jan 07, 2017 1:57 pm**

There are no ropes, but you find a pair of handcuffs to block its hands behind the chair, and a couple of belts for the legs. Holly finishes to prepare the truth serum, and judges what might be the correct dosage. Pizner is just about waking up when Holly injects him with the serum. He has the time to regain consciousness and throws around a couple of insults and curses, before the serum kicks in and he falls silent, looking around with a dumb smile on his lips.

Posted: **Sun Jan 08, 2017 5:45 am**

"Mr. Pizner. who is your client?" Holly asks calmly. People under the influence of scopolamine are said to simply answer any questions put to them, bypassing their brain's capacity for deception. She hopes it will work that way here.

Posted: **Sun Jan 08, 2017 9:58 am**

"Captain Walker...", he answers, absentmindedly.

Posted: **Sun Jan 08, 2017 8:22 pm**

"What is Captain Walker's first name?" Holly asks, raising an eyebrow. "Is he a police captain?"

Posted: **Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:02 pm**

"No fucking cop, that one", he says, half chuckling. "He's just Captain Walker, no name. Works for some big shot up in Pasadena, a guy named Trammel".

Posted: **Tue Jan 10, 2017 6:22 am**

"When did he hire you, how much is he paying you, and what instructions did he give you?" Holly asks next.

Posted: **Tue Jan 10, 2017 8:53 pm**

"He gives me jobs from time to time, pay's good. Told me two men were at the police station, from a group of possible troublemakers. Gave me a description. I had to follow them and report back to him".

Posted: **Wed Jan 11, 2017 4:48 am**

"How do you report to him?" asks Holly, taking careful notes. "Do you ever meet him in person anywhere, or do you call him on the telephone?"

Posted: **Wed Jan 11, 2017 4:57 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christopher writes the police Captain's name down in his notebook alongside he writes who does he report to? he wrack's his brain, he vaguely remembers Clarence saying that there was another detective that seemed to take an interest in what he and Ian were talking to Detective Fowley. So, assuming that Pizner isn't 'spinning them a line' it would be logical to assume that Captain Walker was tipped off via this detective, or even by Fowley; this is a disturbing turn of events, if the LA Police Department were able to be co-opted by their 'enemy' then Christopher and his fellow investigators had better be very careful.

"So... how come you ended up following us.. neither of us visited the Police.." he asks.

Posted: **Wed Jan 11, 2017 5:03 pm**

"Report on phone, person... it depends", he shrugs, speaking a little sluggish, "Followed the two men to the hotel. Then picked up the woman and the academic. Weaker."

Posted: **Wed Jan 11, 2017 5:21 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christoper nods as Pizner replies; "OK.. so you said we could 'come to an agreement', something about some cash... do you have that here?" Christopher asks.

OOC: We're going to have to put this guy out of action... could we get him to phone Captain Walker and say that he's getting us to quit town (that might buy us some time)? Or that he's been tailing us and managed to 'over hear' or travel plans and we're going to drive to 'Frisco and he's going to continue to follow us to make sure we leave. Something like that to buy us time.

Oh and get hold of that cash too ... could be handy...

As to getting Pizner out of the picture...

keep Pizner 'zonked out' - buy some booze, get Pizner into his car, leave it somewhere that will definitely get him arrested.... double parked somewhere.

Posted: **Wed Jan 11, 2017 11:13 pm**

"No, no money here. Call Walker for money, Walker can pay to solve troubles", he says.

Posted: **Thu Jan 12, 2017 4:35 am**

Holly can't help but smirk when he says they were weaker. A short time ago, she might have agreed with his assessment, but she has come to realize just how much she's capable of doing. "When you meet in person, where do you meet him?" she asks. "What is his telephone number?"

Posted: **Thu Jan 12, 2017 11:09 am**

"Meet at my office, usually", he says, then mumbles some numbers that you realize should be Walker's phone number.

Posted: **Thu Jan 12, 2017 6:23 pm**

Christopher Fontana

"Of course... your office, where is that again?" Crhistopher asks... wondering why he didn't think of asking that beforehand.

OOC: OOC, whoops you're right... sorry missed that but of info.

Posted: **Thu Jan 12, 2017 8:03 pm**

Pizner mumbles an address, you write it down to check later on a map of the city.

Posted: **Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:14 am**

"How much have you learned so far about the people you're following?" asks Holly. "How much of that have you already reported back to Walker?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 13, 2017 10:04 am**

"Not much. Reported that I found them and the hotel they are staying at', Pizner says.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:41 am**

"What do you know about Trammel?" asks Holly. "What sort of business is he in?"

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2017 9:08 am**

"Powerful man. Very charismatic. Dangerous. Drug dealer", he mumbles.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2017 5:43 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christopher pauses at Pizner's words, a drug dealer and interested in anyone who's asking after events concerning 'the farm's and by extension Echivaria and his degenerate cult.

"Drug dealer... does the word Nectar mean anything to you?" he asks.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2017 6:41 pm**

Pizner frowns, then shakes his head.

Posted: **Mon Jan 16, 2017 12:49 am**

"Who else besides Captain Walker do you know of who works for Trammel?" asks Holly.

Posted: **Mon Jan 16, 2017 7:23 pm**

"He's got some cops around the city on his payroll, but I prefer not knowing names. In my line of work, it's not a wise idea investigating your client".

Posted: **Mon Jan 16, 2017 8:49 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christopher looks over at Holly "Is he still under? That answer was more lucid than the others." Christopher steps back and picks up his automatic-pistol, suddenly more wary.

Posted: **Mon Jan 16, 2017 8:51 pm**

Holly nods. "Yes, but I'm not sure how long it lasts," she whispers back. She addresses Pizner again. "Do you know anything about a man named Buchwald?"

Posted: **Mon Jan 16, 2017 8:56 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christopher nods and carefully double checks that Pizner is still securely tied.

Posted: **Tue Jan 17, 2017 11:34 am**

"First time I hear that name, Miss", Pizner answers. He's still tied, and under the effect of the serum, but it looks like he's slowly returning to reality.

Posted: **Wed Jan 18, 2017 2:11 am**

Holly looks to Christopher to see if he has any final questions he wants to ask Pizner.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2017 3:43 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Chistopher shakes his head, nothing else to ask comes to mind. Now they had to figure a way to neutralize Pizner and to deflect Walker's interest. Somehow he doubted that they could persuade Pizner to intercede on their behalf, they would have to come up with a plan and that could be dangerous, especially if they had to remain in L.A. for much longer.

"Let's get Walker's telephone number, we might need to contact him."

Christopher motions Holly to step away and lowers his voice "How much of this is Pizner likely to remember?" he asks.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2017 4:06 pm**

OOC: He's likely to forget at least most of what happened, or keep hazy memories of it, but it's hard to tell with certainty. Still, he'll obviously realize that something strange happened to him, and assuming you don't kill him, he'll most likely manage to speak with his client.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2017 5:33 pm**

"I've already got Walker's number," Holly whispers, showing Chirstopher on her notepad where she's written it down. "I've never done this before, so I can't be certain, but he should experience some memory loss. How much - who can say? He may remember bits and pieces."

Posted: **Mon Jan 23, 2017 5:16 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christoper nods "OK, that could work in our advantage... do you think we could get him to telephone Walker and say that he's warned us off and he'll be out of touch for a day or two?" he pauses "I mean... would he be convincing?"

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 12:11 am**

"For the next minute or so, he can't help but speak the truth," replies Holly. "Getting him to do something will require persuading him, though. He may also sound drugged-out, but Walker might chalk that up to drinking."

Posted: **Wed Jan 25, 2017 2:19 pm**

Christopher Fontana

"Hmm, yes, that's probably too risky.. I can't think of anything else and we ought to be getting out of here, unless it's worth going over to his office?"

Spoiler:

Posted: **Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:22 am**

"It probably won't be worth it," whispers Holly, "as we've milked him for all we could, and we don't want to be seen there if he has a secretary or something. Let's get moving."

Posted: **Fri Jan 27, 2017 10:43 am**

You put Pizner to sleep once more and load him back into the car. After driving close to where your own car is parker, you leave him inside with a gun and some booze, and look for a policemen to report him. After that, you walk to your car, and plan your next moves.

"We still have time to go to the Times," says Holly, "though now we have more important things to research. We need to find out whatever we can about Trammel in Pasadena. He's at the top of the food chain. Or we can try to contact the others and fill them in on what we've learned first, but they may be in the middle of things with Buchwald."

Posted: **Mon Jan 30, 2017 1:48 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christopher checks his watch, dealing with Pizner has cost them a chunk of time but had alerted them to a whole new threat and avenue of investigation that needed to be followed up on. "Let's carry on with our original plan and complete out research at The Times, Pizner wasn't aware of our destination so we ought to be in the clear for a while. We can warn the others when we meet up later on."

Posted: **Tue Jan 31, 2017 5:59 am**

Holly nods. "The Times it is," she says, starting to drive there.

Posted: **Tue Jan 31, 2017 9:42 am**

You reach your destination less than twenty minutes later. The offices of the newspaper look very new, and clean, and bustling with activity. You introduce yourself and wait for a few minutes until a man in his forties comes to greet you. His name is Matthew Hudson and he was the editor in charge of Ian's work during the months he spent at the LA Times. Hudson welcomes you warmly and seems to be one of those people that naturally make a good first impression, with a large smile and big blue eyes. "Nice to meet you. I was expecting you a couple of hours ago, did you get lost?", he asks while shaking your hands.

Posted: **Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:33 pm**

Christopher Fontana

"Pleased to meet you Mr. Hudson" Christopher says warmly, as he shakes the editor's hand. "No, not lost exactly but we were unavoidably detained and could not phone ahead, sorry if we've caused you any problems."

"Did Ian explain what we hoped to find?" he asks after the introductions have concluded.

Posted: **Tue Jan 31, 2017 10:55 pm**

"Not really", he answers thoughtfully, "I understand he's back in town, and he's asked me to cooperate with you and answer your questions. I can guess this is about his "secret project", as I can't think about anything else. You see, a few months after he arrived here, he told me he was working on something big. He said he wasn't ready yet to reveal the full story, but it was huge. A large scale drug operation, corrupted cops, something that would rock the entire city. I told him to be careful, but he is a stubborn one", he concludes shaking his head.

Posted: **Wed Feb 01, 2017 6:49 am**

"We need to start by finding out whatever we can about a big shot in Pasadena named Trammel," says Holly. "Ever heard of him?"

Posted: **Wed Feb 01, 2017 9:12 am**

"Trammel, huh?", he thinks for a couple of seconds, then shakes his head, "First time I hear the name, I'm afraid. We can check the archives, though. Do you think he's involved in some sort of shady business?"

Posted: **Wed Feb 01, 2017 6:08 pm**

Christopher Fontana

Christopher smiles ruefully, "Well let's just say that the name came up recently and definitely needs some further investigation." he realises that Hudson will look into things regardless of what they say, the man wants a 'scoop'.

"Say... have you heard of a 'shady' Private Investigator by the name of Pizner?" he asks... maybe they could deflect things a little and make things more uncomfortable for Pizner.

OOC: I assume that we're not really going to be able to keep any research 'secret' from Hudson are we? If that's the case we're better off finding out all we can about Echivaria and Trammel and letting Hudson make of it what he will.

"Pizner... no, I don't know this one either...", he writes down both names on a piece of paper. "I'll see what I can dig on them. It will take some time, though. 24, maybe 48 hours".

"Thank you," says Holly. "We've got another name for you as well: Captain Walker."

"Captain Walker...", he writes down the name along the other two, "Are we talking about a cop? Or military?"

Christopher Fontana

Christoper smiles ruefully, it definitely looked like Hudson was looking to get as many leads as he could, probably for his own story.

"We don't know, the name did come up in connection to Pizner so perhaps that's the place to start? Christoper says, he hopes that's where the journalist will start his enquiries, that might help take any heat off of him and his fellow investigators.

"Well, we are running late... shall we call again the day after tomorrow?" he asks Hudson. Christopher wants nothing more than to meet up with the others and plan on what to do next.

"We don't think Walker's a cop," says Holly. "As far as we can tell, Pizner works for him, and he works for Trammel."

"Got it. Very well, I'll see what I can do. If there's nothing else, we'll talk again in a couple of days".

Yes, we need to link up up with the others, unless Mr H has anything to add?
