At about 10:30 hours on 10 October 2008, I was on a stakeout at the Bank of New Berlin. The RFP had received a tip of a possible robbery attempt. We pay 10,000 credits for crime-stopper tips. Some pan out, others don’t. As I sat there watching the bank and eating a cheese strudel, my comm link buzzed.
“Albe Station Dispatch to Detective Reinboth, come in please.”
“This is Reinboth, go ahead,” I said.
“Sir, long-range scanner has found RepEx-858, shall I patch you through?” she said.
“Yes, initiate connection,” I said.
The Freeport 2 external system camera ...
This is it! The break I have been looking for. I could feel the old excitement as the hunt was nearing its quarry. All the evidence has pointed to the Unioners, and after analyzing his ship's data log, the ship the RepEx pilot spotted belonged to the Unioner Frantz Taschke. I opened a channel to Albe Station Dispatch.
“Dispatch, this is Reinboth, send out an all points bulletin to arrest the Unioner Frantz Taschke. He’s wanted in connection with the Alster Shipyard robbery.”
“Affirmative Detective, the arrest warrant has been broadcasted,” she said.
My next report should see the close of this case. Frantz Taschke is in my sights, and Vierlande Prison will be his next residence.
