Making sure the machine still works

I just wanted to make sure about something. That contractor we captured a bit ago, what happened to him?

Ah, Vimes, just the man I'm looking for. You took the Contractor into custody didn't you?

I did. I wanted to make sure he got a fair trial.

Not sure about the fair trial, but there's some rather... urgent business related to him. I'm gathering the Enforcers for an emergency meeting, but I wanted your thoughts on the matter first.

He was the one who killed those children. If he doesn't end up dancing the hemp fandango, I don't see how it could be a fair trial.

Too true. Did anything stick out as odd to you? I know you aren't a resident of the world, but I heard some strange things and I wanted to double check.

Now that I think about it...I think he did feel like he had a hole in his chest.

I brought him in though, so seems you could check for yourself. Unless he's already had his fair trial, I guess.

We noticed the hole. Did he have a skeletal mask forming on his face when you met him?

[am177.livejournal.com]

No...

I see. Well, we're going to have an Enforcer meeting. Bring your team, we'll discuss more then.

Yessir.
