Hazen passed the time in the outer office getting a better look at Miss Cats Eyes. Behind those silly glasses was a pert little face; below them was a nice twitchy figure. It wasnt a long wait. Within five minutes, Paulson emerged. He was calm again, smiling. The dimples were back.

Sheriff? he said. Leave your fax number with my secretary.

Sure thing.

In a day or two well be faxing you a cease-and-desist order, which you will be asked to serve on Special Agent Pendergast. Nobody in the New Orleans office knows what hes up to. All the New York office would say is that hes supposed to be on vacation. He has peace officer status here, of course, but thats it. It doesnt appear hes actually broken any rules, but this is highly irregular, and these days we have to be exceptionally careful.

Hazen tried to maintain the look of grave concern on his face, although he could hardly keep himself from shouting for joy.

This guy has got some big-time friends in the Bureau, but it seems he also has some big-time enemies. So just wait for the order, say nothing, and deliver it with courtesy when it comes in. Thats all. Any problems, heres my card.

Hazen pocketed the card. I understand.

Paulson nodded. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Sheriff Hazen.

Think nothing of it.

Another flash of the dimples, a glance and wink at Miss Cats Eyes, and the head of the field office withdrew.

A day or two,Hazen thought as he glanced at his watch. He could hardly wait.

It was now three oclock. He had a trip to make to Deeper.
