    ... targeted her.”
    
    “And what do I have to do with this?” Alan’s nervousness began to show in his voice and body language.
    
    “Don’t worry. You have nothing to do with the killing. It was a drug-carrier-related crime.”
    
    Laura had been a drug-carrier? Unbelievable, Alan thought. He sighted.
    
    “Well, in this document we just told you about. It is a sworn deposition that you are the father of her daughter.”
    
    Alan was too surprised to react immediately, but he laughed. “This is wrong. You see, we had no romantic relation at all. Just a few drinks at the bar and two dinners together!”
    
    “We believe you that nothing happened last year.”
    
    Alan breathed in relief, just to receive the next accusation.
    
    “We believe you, because Laura’s daughter, her name is Nora, is 17 years old.”
    
    Alan laughed agin. “Then it is impossible that I am the father. I have never seen Laura before last year. You understood me wrong. I have met Laura just once, last year. I had never seen her before that.”
    
    The officers continued. “Of course, you can easily prove that you are not the father. Just a DNA test and you are off the hook. But, and there is a big but, she left a sizable inheritance to her daughter, and of course to the father of her child, should he come forward.”
    
    Alan showed with his hands around him and replied “Look at this. Do you think I need more money? My mom and I live a happy life. We need no intrusion into this. I want to quietly continue my research and public ...
    ... outreach.”
    
    But then he continued to formulate questions because the case made him curious. “Does Nora, is that her name, know that her mom is dead? Does she know the reason why she was killed? And, by the way, when did that happen?”
    
    The officers looked at each other. Alan started showing an interest and that was good in their eyes.
    
    One of them answered. “Yes, her name is Nora, and yes she knows that her mom was shot. It happened two days ago.”
    
    The other one chimed in. “She is in no way involved in the crimes, and she does not know the role of her mother in this.”
    
    “So, as sad as the death of her mom is, with the inheritance, can’t she live a nice life?” Alan asked.
    
    The first officer replied again. “Well, she is in no way a witness to the crime, and thus not in a witness protection program. We protect her now, because she is still a minor, but once she is 18, she will be on her own. We are terribly sorry, we don’t have the resources to protect her.”
    
    “She needs protection? How about other relatives?” Alan never had met Nora, and had no inclination to meet her. It sounded all too complicated for him. He was not good with people.
    
    “Yes, she needs protection. We know that she knows nothing, but the gang does not, obviously. Once they know where she lives, she will be killed to get rid of another witness. That is how those thugs tick.”
    
    Alan felt panic well up. “And you came all the way from Las Vegas to tell me I should take care of a girl I have never met and have no ...
