The list wasn’t long, but it was complex with the possibility of growing branches like a tree.

I fired up Nicole’s computer and searched for Stan Collier. It gave me an address out at Hampton so I decided I would head out there and have a chat the following day.

The next search I did was on Bomber Hansen. What I got was pages of newspaper headlines about him, his arrest, and the trial where he was convicted. From the looks of it, he’d been picked up with others from the Taipans, but he had been the only one convicted. There was no mention of the rest.

I grabbed my phone and punched in the number I had memorized. It rang twice, before, “Bryce.”

“It’s Mark Hayes.”

“What can I do for you, Hayes?” he asked. No introduction, just down to business.

“Why was Bomber Hansen the only one who was convicted and sentenced on his drug bust?”

“He confessed.”

“Yes, but what about the others?” I asked.

“He cut a deal, letting them go and he would go down for it all.”

I frowned. “Three years doesn’t seem much for what he was caught with.”

“It doesn’t, does it?”

“Who arrested him?”

There was a moment of silence while Bryce went through his mental files. “If I remember rightly, it was Cox and Curtis.”

That’s right, the coppers at the airport. “Were they the ones who pushed for the deal?”

“I don’t know, maybe.”

“Can you get me the file?” I asked.

“What for?”

“I want to look at it. Give me some background. Three years isn’t much when it comes down to the quantity of drugs and what he was doing with it.”

“Are you saying Cox and Curtis are bent, Hayes?”

“No, I’m asking to look at the file.”

“I’ll see what I can do. Anything else?”

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

“Whatever.”

The call disconnected.

I stared at the computer screen for another hour before I started going to sleep in front of it. I shut it down and had a shower, before climbing into bed. Tomorrow was another day, and I needed the sleep.

What I would get of it.
