The Blue & The Grey (Veterans Affairs)

"To tell the truth, the tags looked a bit odd, but they had the basic info." [1953-era tags didn't have dobs on them]

Bishop places the request without problem.

"As far as harassment, it was mostly complaints, about how the people in the area are acting, about how my office is subpar, that sort of thing. He never threatened violence."

"Well Doc, you requested us. Mind if we look at your report. What is your assesment besides dulsions of flying saucers and such, is he a wacko? Can you be a little more specfic about what he said about flying saucers during the war? Do you know what branch of service he was with?"

"You said San Deigo PD was involved. Do you know who the officer was?"

Bishop will lean over and whisper in Heywood's ear "Wonder if this guy belonged to some secret military project?"
 


"I didn't make any reports, because his number was invalid. As for the cop, I'm sorry I don't remember his name. I contacted Dales because I knew he was interested in that sort of thing. I knew him in LA when the war started - do you remember the Battle of Los Angeles? He interviewed me about it because I talked to a lot of the military witnesses.

But you really need to talk to Pruitt and hear what he's been saying for yourself."
 

"Hey Doc, no problem about the report,and cop thing I understand. Dales sent us down here to make sure we do a thorough investigation. Just trying to do this all in one visit. I was too young for the Battle of LA, but I read about somewhere." Bishop will state to the Doctor.

"Can I get his serial number, for paperwork reasons? And your phone number in case I need to give you a call." Bishop will finish with.

Bishop will look over at Heywood "Ready to head out!"

Bishop will turn back to the Doc "Oh yeah, if you hear anything from Washington will you let us know."
 

"Yeah, let's go find this guy. Thanks, doc." Heywood turns around and walks out. Standing outside, he looks at Bishop. "He didn't seem to know too much, did he? Not that I think he's hiding anything; it just seems like he wasn't worried about this guy too much. What do you think?"
 

With Pruitt's serial number in hand, and a promise from Darrow to call with any info, you take a taxi over to the zoo area of San Diego. The large park is crowded with kids out of school, and a few sailors taking a stroll to see the sights. You see an older man in a heavy coat that seems to match the description of the guy you're looking for. When you call his name, he whirls to face you, eyes squniting in the sun.

"Wha? That's me. Sorry, can't see ya too well in the sun. It's a little too bright out here."
 

Bishop will lean over "Lets keep him in the sun."

"David, heard you have been busting peoples chops about flying saucers and such!" Bishop will state sternly to the man.
 


Heywood nods at Bishop's suggestion. He also casually takes a few steps away from Bishop so that he is off to Pruitt's side, forcing him to look at one detective or the other and not at the same time.

"Safe in where? And what's still a threat?" Heywood asks the older man.
