A thought struck the Doctor. „Is that why Jerro Fanson was there and not in police custody?‟

The Enforcer looked blank. „Who?‟

„He was one of your members who was charged with murder.‟

The Enforcer shook his head. „It‟s possible one of my subordinates handled it...‟ He shrugged. „I only become personally involved with our more important members.‟ He smiled and patted the Doctor‟s arm.

The Doctor ignored the attempt to underline the obviously complimentary reference to his professional status. „Come to think of it,‟ he said, „he was an agent whose best fighter disappeared.‟

„Coincidences happen,‟ the Enforcer said uncomfortably.

„Client poaching happens too I‟m afraid:

„The fighter‟s name was Keefer.‟

„Doesn‟t ring any bells, I‟m sorry,‟ the Enforcer said and took the Doctor‟s arm. „The Doctor is ready,‟ he said to the four waiting policemen, „to go to the Court of Attack lock-up.

He will agree to the use of temporary restraints if you feel they are called for.‟

„Will he?‟ the Doctor said, playing for time. „I don‟t remember him agreeing to that.‟ It looked as though he was going to have to make a break for it and hope that the police were bad shots. He couldn‟t allow himself to be locked up again and lose any chance to sort out this mess. And besides that, this was showing all the signs of being one of those brain-threatening frame-ups that seemed to be happening with startling regularity. Four armed policemen might be a bit of a risk but he didn‟t really have much choice as far as he could see. Two more policemen came into the foyer from the direction of the locker rooms. „Nothing,‟ one of them said.

Another one wandered in and shook his head. The Doctor decided to re-examine his plan. His natural optimism and his best efforts to think positively did not convince him that the chances of breaking free of seven armed policemen and then escaping in one piece were good.

„I think temporary restraints are called for,‟ the man who had hit the Doctor said. „In fact I‟m calling for them.‟ He gestured to the man who had wandered in last. „They‟re in the first runner. Go fetch.‟

The man went outside but came back in almost immediately, followed by an irritated-looking Ronick. „What are you doing with my prisoner?‟ he demanded, jerking his head in the direction of the Doctor. „I didn‟t bring him here for your scuffling benefit.‟

„Driftkiller?‟ the man who had done the hitting said. „I said that was you.‟ He glanced at the others. „Didn‟t I say that was him? I said that was you.‟

„Right, well we‟ve established that it‟s me,‟ Ronick said.

„Now what are you doing with my prisoner?‟

„You let him go.‟

Ronick gestured at himself and his presence in the foyer. „It scuffling looks like it doesn‟t it,‟ he said scathingly.

„As it happens,‟ the man said, „yes it does.‟

„We left him here to collect some personal effects, you scuffwit. You know: valuable personal effects?‟

„There isn‟t anything - we‟ve checked.‟

„You‟ve checked,‟ Ronick snorted. „No problem then. You and this bunch of rejects from traffic control have checked.
