    â€œStaff Sergeant Quaile here to see you,” announced his secretary.
    Moments later, Quaile was seated in an overstuffed leather chair facing Isaac’s desk while nervously wondering why he had been summoned.
    For management purposes, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was broken down into four nationwide regions: the Atlantic, Central, NorthWest, and Pacific Regions. Isaac was the Criminal Operations Officer who oversaw all the operational investigations in the Pacific Region. It made Quaile feel like he had just been invited into the inner sanctum of power.
    â€œYou’ve been in charge of the Intelligence Unit for three months now,” observed Isaac.
    â€œYes, sir,” replied Quaile. “Three months today, actually.”
    Isaac nodded. It was a date he had already noted in his Day-timer from when Quaile first arrived to the section. His piercing eyes examined Quaile closely and he said, “I wanted to wait until you had ... a feel ... for the office before having this conversation with you. A conversation that for now will remain between the two of us.”
    â€œYes, sir?”
    â€œI want to talk with you about Corporal Taggart.”
    â€œSir?”
    â€œAre you familiar with the more unusual aspects of someof his past investigations?”
    â€œI heard he was in a shootout with some bikers two years ago. Also that someone tried to kill him last year.”
    Isaac nodded knowingly and said, “He’s had a rather lively career. Outstanding in some aspects. But ...” Isaac paused and glanced down at his desk before continuing, “I’m not exactly sure how I should word this. There’s never been any proof,” he muttered, more to himself than to Quaile.
    â€œProof, sir? Of what?”
    â€œOf any wrongdoing on the part of Corporal Taggart. This is the dilemma. He could be completely innocent. Incredibly lucky, perhaps. His predictions in his reports about organized crime families have been remarkably accurate.”
    â€œThat concerns you, sir?”
    â€œNo,” said Isaac, brusquely. “That is
not
what concerns me. What concerns me is that key people he works on end up dead! That is what concerns me!”
    â€œDead?” said Quaile, sounding dumbfounded. “You mean like—I don’t understand.”
    â€œI’ll give you a quick history lesson. Three years ago, Corporal Taggart worked on a notorious French bank robber who was the ringleader in a gang that robbed banks across Canada. They were responsible for wounding and paralyzing a female officer in Quebec. Two months after Taggart starts to work on them, suddenly the gang believes their boss is an informant and kills him.”
    â€œWas he Taggart’s informant?”
    â€œNo.”
    â€œOh, I see,” said Quaile, wondering what Isaac meant.
    â€œThat investigation followed another where a corrupt prosecutor working for Satans Wrath had ...”
    â€œHad the bikers go after Taggart’s niece and nephew. I heard about that,” said Quaile.

    â€œAnd did you hear that this prosecutor was later found dead in his swimming pool?”
    â€œYes, sir. An accidental drowning, I was told.”
    â€œ
Maybe
it was—but it happened in Mexico at the same time Taggart was in Mexico.”
    Quaile swallowed nervously when he realized the implication.
    â€œPerhaps that was just a coincidence,” continued Isaac. “Then, last year, a Colombian drug lord tried to kill Taggart and terrorized the family of Constable Danny O’Reilly, who was Taggart’s partner. A short time later, Taggart went to Colombia, allegedly to work on an unrelated investigation. Within a day of his arrival the drug lord and thirty of his men were murdered.”
    â€œTaggart did that?” asked Quaile, his eyes wide and his mouth dropping open.
    â€œNo, I’m not saying that he did. It’s just that ... well, quite frankly, it has crossed my mind
