There was a Camry,” he continues, glancing at the PDA screen, “registered to another address in Sammamish and a leased Lexus registered in Redmond. Neither vehicle nor the registered owners have any hits.”“The KING5 news van checks out. The other van is registered to Northwest Independent News Service, with an office in Seattle,” The attorney taps the PDA with a stylus a couple of times. “It’s a stringer service. They cover whatever they can find then sell the tape and photos to local stations.”Slocum listens as Kristen and Decker outline their plan while Falkus keeps a vigil at the hotel room window. He shakes his head. “There’s no way the Sheriff’s Office is going to let you back in Gold’s house. You’ve actually raised their interest in the case again, something we hoped to avoid.” Slocum’s face is pensive. “And in order to gain legal access, I would have to show cause that there is corporate property belonging to Martin Pharmaceuticals in Gold’s house. I have no evidence of that.”He thinks for a moment. “You really think there’s something in a CD case? The restaurant seems like a better bet.” Slocum’s stylus scribbles across the screen of his PDA. “There was no mention of it in his transactions, was there? The restaurant, I mean. He visited a number of different places, but only that club on the waterfront and the Peet’s near his house with any regularity.”Finally Slocum turns off the PDA and slides it into its case. He stands and slips it into a back pocket, then rubs his hands together. “I can’t advise you to re-enter Gold’s residence. I’ll try to get some information on for you on Monday about who reported the break-in. You have the rooms here until Tuesday morning, if you decide to stay. Call me on Monday and let me know what’s going on. Good night.” With that the attorney takes his leave.</blockquote>
