They would not, he sincerely hoped, have access to the colonial tracking system. Wow! That was a much larger list than he’d originally bargained for, it needed to be narrowed. It would have to be someone connected with Inter-world Transit, the port authority, colonial security, or the governor’s office. The bursar’s connection was in the government, someone fairly high up, high up enough to block their palm chips from giving the colonial computer tracking system identification. Once he had some rest, he would quietly inquire. One of the neighbors might have seen something that could help identify his mystery note placer. The apartment was empty, and as far as he could tell, no one had been there. He entered his room and did a quick, security check. Okay then, the drug case first, he thought. No, he thought it didn’t start with the killer, it started with the screamer. Matt’s head hurt, there was too much to think about, too much to keep straight. He was glad that Kramer left before he entered his building. Did the note represent a warning or a threat? How long had it been there? He never made it home the night before, the letter could have been there since the last blackout, the last killing. Whoever was putting the notes up, they were toying with him. Perry? It was possible, and that possibility stripped him of one of the few allies he had. He had enough knowledge of the synapsis to cover his tracks.
Was it Perry leaving the notes, could Perry be the killer? He knew that he was on the case. Chapter 31 “Keep an eye on those close to you.” The handwriting had become disturbingly familiar.
