Chapter - Seventeen

“No! Although I detest that little creep, you can forget me issuing a search warrant on Sarge’s say-so. The man has a bruised brain for God’s sake!”

“He was an Army scout in Syria; he followed the tracks to a mile of Firth’s house. I think that Conrad could be in the area and I’d like to search the house...”

“Forget it Brad. We already did that. Those tracks are days old by now, it’d be a waste of time.”

Eastman felt like a school-boy in Judge Carmille’s study. He’d been there on many occasions but the grand wooden interior still filled him with awe. The whole room emanated history. The shelves were stacked with law books as old as the town. But Eastman was determined to have his say.

“It’s the best lead we’ve had so far. I can’t see the harm in searching that house to make sure.”

“You can’t see the harm in searching the Mayor’s house? The people of this town need to see that they have strong leadership or they’re gonna start falling apart. You do a search right now and morale is out the door. Firth is the Mayor damn it!”

“All I can see is upholding the law not some PR stunt.”

Carmille shot to his feet, his face a dark shade of purple.

“Don’t you dare come into this room and tell me about the law! I was serving the law while you were in short pants. There’s gonna be no more about searching Tony Firth’s house or so help me’ I’ll damn well suspend you!”

Eastman rose silently from his seat and left the room. It wasn’t that he felt subdued, he just felt enormous disappointment. His hero the great Judge Carmille had lost all sense of the true meaning of the law. The law was to be upheld at all costs, with no favouritism or discrimination. He walked out from the court house and stepped into the cool night air. It seemed to him it wasn’t just the creatures in Armstrong that were rotten. He was going home to take a long hot shower.
