... your name and badge number." "Patrol Officer Ken Bishop A492367 and my partner is Patrol Officer Grant Bishop, no relation and I don't know his number. Just a minute, I've got it. A497211. They call us the Bishop's Patrol." He grins. "Hottest team in The Surrey PD. New West and Vancouver PD’s have tried to recruit us." "I'll remember you guys." "I better make those calls." He leaves. Mike checks the time. It's after six. He goes back to Marie's bedside. She's breathing evenly and more easily. Mike sits down beside her bed. In about twenty minutes a nurse comes into the room with a phone. She plugs it in by his chair and says, "RCMP on the line for you. They asked that we bring the phone to you." "Thanks." He picks up the receiver. "Mike? Are you there?" "Nina? What are you doing still at work?" "I'm not. I'm at home. I saw the report that came in indicating you were still at the hospital. How is she?" "In very bad shape, but she'll survive. A lot luckier than Flo, I guess." "Why are you still there?" "She was trying to reach me when he beat her. She wanted me to get her out of that house. I told her once I would take her to a shelter. Now she's scared he'll come and finish the job. I've been trying to give her assurance that he will not reach her. Can you let Marlene know where I'm at? I don't know how late I'll be." "They hadn't caught him yet when I left work. I stayed late but finally came home. I just got in. Mike, please be careful.

The Staff Sgt. says you are in danger! Are you listening?" "Nina, I know that. Please, don't tell Marlene that. I'll be okay! Please just tell her I'll be late." "Oh Mike. Let me know when you get home, ... I don't care how late it is! Please." "I'll meet you by the hot tub." He laughs. "I'll be waiting for your call. Good night." She hangs up. Mike depresses the button under the receiver, lets it up again and dials. "Port Coquitlam Detachment, may I help you?" "Staff Sgt. Lindross. Is he in? It's Mike Claymore." "He has left for the day. Would you like me to page him? If you give me your number, I can have him give you a call." "I'm in the Recovery Room at Royal Columbian Hospital on an extension. I don't know the number. Would you have him call me?" "I'll try, sir." "Thank you." Nurses come and go keeping a check on Marie. Mike waits for the call. In about half an hour the phone rings. "Mr. Claymore, this is the switchboard. I have a Staff Sgt. Lindross on the line. Will you take the call?" "Yes. Please, put him through." "Mr. Claymore, you wished to speak to me?" "Right. I was wondering the status of your progress on picking up Robert Hanson. Have you had any success yet?" "On what charge, Mr. Claymore?" "Didn't the Surrey patrolman tell you Marie's statement?" "Yes. She lied or was forced to ...
