“Well,” DeRosa said, “so far we’ve turned up two caches of drugs—Earth-type, a vacuum still, several gallons of moonshine and a submachine gun.”

“A submachine gun?”

Iron Alice smiled. “DeLorenzo brought it aboard in his luggage. Maybe he sleeps with the damn thing instead of a teddy bear.”

“Anything else?”

DeRosa turned grim again. “Yeah. Eight items of indeterminate function but probably alien origin and about a kilo of gold that isn’t on the manifest. We’re questioning a couple of the technicians, a lab worker and one of the scientists now.”

“One of the scientists? That’s going to rile the Council even more.”

She shrugged.

“Hell, ask me if I care,” Jenkins told her. “Anyway, where are you finding these things?”

“Most of it wasn’t in living spaces. In the last few hours, all that we found has been stashed outside quarters, some obviously hastily.”

“Making them nervous.” Jenkins nodded. “Good. Now what have you done with the contraband?”

“The alien stuff’s in the labs being examined—being very cautiously examined. The rest of it we gave back to the owners or left where it was.”

“Even DeLorenzo’s submachine gun?”

“I figure we’ve got bigger fish to fry. We can worry about DeLorenzo and his toy later.”
