We've got to do it right and wait until they're already in trouble, and then boom. This could sink them."

Dace took LuEl en to see his doctor while I sorted through the stuff we'd taken in the burglary. There wasn't much we could save, but I would keep the Schiele drawing-he was among the best draftsmen of the twentieth century, and his erotic pieces are stunning. This was a good one. It could tie me to a burglary, but I looked at it, and looked at it, and knew I'd keep it.

That night Dace and LuEl en dumped the rest of the loot, and

That night Dace and LuEl en dumped the rest of the loot, and I went into the Whitemark computer using the system programmer's codes. The word codes got me through the first line of protection. The number codes got me into the programming level. It was there that I found the complete list of passwords for every file in the computer, no matter how confidential.

"We're going to get a crowd if we dump any more stuff in that al ey," she said. Her shoulder had been bandaged, and the doctor gave her a smal envelope of pain pil s. She took them al and was looking very relaxed.

"Thanks."
