“Yeah I did hear that.” Decker replies as he moves to try and get a view of who’s talking outside without being seen. “Hopefully it’s just some nosy neighbors.”

Brandon hears the noises from outside, thinks upon it for a moment, and then carefully pulls the attic ladder up behind him and scoots closer to the roof vents to eavesdrop.

"I'm never going to live this down if I get stuck up here," he thought to himself
 


"Nobody that I know of," lied Hawk, after a few seconds of thought. "I've been contracted by Dr. Gold's corporation to investigate his disappearance."
 



The deputy looks closely at Hawk, then says to his partner, “Okay, let’s wait for the canine unit.” Taking firm control of Hawk’s arm, he leads the bodyguard down the drive to where two white and green patrol cars are parked out of the line of sight of the house. Hawk is lead to the back of one of the patrol cars, placed inside, and belted in - over the radio in the front seat he hears the female deputy running his license and permit. As he sits in the backseat, he sees two more patrol cars approaching.

Inside the house the sound of voices dies away.
 


From the back seat of the patrol car, Hawk sees...[sblock]...the other two patrol cars arrive. A burly deputy with sergeant’s stripes on his sleeve steps out of one, converses for a moment with the male deputy who placed you into the handcuffs. The sergeant glances your way a couple of times, then studies your license and concealed carry permit before reaching for his cell phone. For the next couple of minutes he is engaged in conversation, and after hanging up he walks over to the patrol car where Hawk sits and opens the door.

“Evening, Mr. Hawkins,” he says in a deep voice. “I’m Sergeant Gilbert of the King County Sheriff’s Department. Would you be willing to answer a few questions so we can clear this up?”[/sblock]From the upstairs window Decker looks down the driveway. There’s no sign of Hawk, or anything else for that matter. He tries to looks through the trees to the street...Decker: Spot check please.
 

Hawk looked up at the sergeant, running his eye over him. A number of witty remarks came to mind, but Hawk wasn't stupid enough to aggravate the man. "Of course, sergeant, I'd be more than happy to. But first, could you answer a question? Am I under arrest?"
