Ch. 7--Getting Jack Involved
In LA, Lieutenant Jack Curtis stood on the other side of the captain's desk wondering why the captain had called him in. He suspected it might have something to do with the investigation Wally was involved in. Wally had a penchant for getting in over his head. Anything concerning Wally always left the captain looking ill, and the captain looked more nauseous than usual.
The captain held up what looked like a teletype. "Teletype from Lt. Kovilli of the Great Falls Police Department. It's about your pal Nebish." He handed the teletype to Jack.
Jack read the teletype out loud: "'The independent investigation Officer Nebicher is currently running is interfering with our own efforts.'" He tossed the teletype onto the captain's desk in mild disgust. "Great," he grumbled sarcastically.
"This was your idea Curtis."
"But, Captain,...," Jack started to object.
"Don't contradict me!" said Captain Boyd harshly. The captain leaned back in his chair looking like he was experiencing an upset stomach. "This could cause an international incident," he said worriedly. After a brief pause to consider his options, he turned to Jack. "Take the first plane out there. Get him back here before he trips over a gun and hurts someone," he said with a vehemence.
"Yes, sir," said Jack, resigned. He turned and walked out of the captain's office wondering--not for the first time--what exactly Wally had gotten himself into now.
