(Hello Spike - got over your tree leaf addiction yet?) <grin>
Anyway here's the problem.
We've been hired to find this dog called FrooFroo (please don't ask) so
far we've turned up zip on the dog, but there's this other problem that
seems to be prevelent.
OK, brief rundown.
Evidence to date indicates that the raid on the house that stole the dog
(very secure - electronic, magical (one mage) and physical coverage) was
undertaken by a cyberfreak using insider information, and possibly
assistance from someone inside the security teams.
So far we have two dead bodies, two prisoners (sec guards, non
important, but we're not sure what to do with them), and some
circumstantial evidence that indicates it was either the head of
security and/or his immediate inferior (2nd in command) working with an
outside team. We also suspect that there was some backing from a
corporation (HK-UK)
[General suspicion is that this may have something to do with arms
contracts]
Now, all the evidence we have is circumstantial, but pretty convincing,
that a conspiracy between one of the two afformentioned commanders, a
couple of staff members, and an outside team, maybe employed by HK-UK
stole the dog as an example to whomever is determining the arms contract
allotments, in a sort of "We can get the dog, we can get onto your
property - we can get to you" sort of thing.
The evidence. (briefly)
Three security team members spent some time working together in the
military (UK). One of the sec team appears to have a double - working
as a sec guard for Hilton Hotels International (he's dead, and we think
the cyberfreak is his double, working for (suspected) HK-UK. Three
other areas where the three members served also flag that they served on
raids, where HK-UK shortly thereafter won contracts. One member is dead,
assassinated (we think because he recognised the cyberfreak). Other
evidence is a bit loose, but involves the nefarious activities and
potential blackmail possibilities of other sec team members.
No magical evidence is avialable, and the security net over the property
has "holes" in it that could be monopolised by someone who knew about
them. We think planning for the snatch went on for about six months -
which coincides with an upgrade in security and the employment of two of
the suspects and some landscaping in the neighbours' garden (neighbours
are on holiday somewhere).
What I was wondering, is how you lot would deal with the evidence.
Would you take it to HK-UK, accuse them of conspiracy and attempting to
bias the judgement of a government minister in awarding a lucrative
contract, and hope the evidence holds up, pushing them for money?
Go to one of the two least suspect security heads, and leave it to them
to sort out?
Go to another, independant staff member with seniority and hope to gain
some payment for services from the owner of the property?
Find a dead dog, make it up to look like the old one, claim payment and
bugger off before anyone figured out what you'd stumbled onto?
All of the above?
None of the above?
Ideas?
Ta in advance for your invaluable help.... The last time I asked a
question here, your answers were extremely helpful, and it looks like
the old characters can retire - very rich :) <EPG>*
