Tailing the Beauty

Luke could only change the topic. "I've read Palmer's case file. Did you find anything in your investigation?"

Roger said, "A little bit. It's possible that Palmer found a thing or two about a guy nicknamed 'The Maker,' which is why the guy's trying to kill her."

Luke asked, "Exactly what did she find?"

"I don't know," Roger said decisively. "Palmer's been looking into him, but she can't share all her information with us. You know, she's investigating too many targets. If she gives us all the information, we would have thirty suspects at least."

Luke sighed and didn't ask who the suspects were.

The guys that the DEA investigated were mostly tricky vermin who baited and corrupted people.

It wasn't unusual to investigate one suspect and then unearth a whole bunch of them.

Luke looked inside and asked in an even lower voice, "What's with Martin?"

Roger said bitterly, "I hope that he can more or less recover after a month of rest."
