Lieutenant John Sheridan had instructed his guys to leave the prisoner alone except for meals and keeping him under surveillance, Skyshatter commend Von Estling first then Sheridan, letting both men know that the prisoner was awake.

"Excellent Chief. We're on our way." Sheridan responded.

Moments later he was standing before the cell. "Mr Bremer, I see you have arisen from the grave..."

Gunther came into the brig area, and simply stood silently beside Sheridan

Mudphit almost squirmed as Sheridan smiled. "Did you not read your bible?" he inquired. "I hope so... because you will need the saftey of the lord for when I get done with you... For I will make you shit gold!"

Mudphit looked up at sheridan in horror, he put his hands up and squealed," No don't hurt me, I'll tell you everything."

Sheridan stood there, arms crossed over his chest as a rather evil smile graced his features. "So... start talking.."

In a panicky voice, Mudphit replied," Um... Um.., it was Daniel Hurd's son, billy petite, he gave the drugs to me. I just thought it was an ordinary joint, I didn't know it had something else in it. I never would have taken it had I known."

Sheridan turned his head as he nodded to Gunther Von Estling nearby before he raised an eyebrow. "Continue.."

Mudphit looked around in terror, then said, "Uh. Daniel Hurd has been throwing around a lot of credits, and a good amount of latinum too, far more than any private is paid, so he must be making money on the side by selling, and having his son sell too."

"I see... Thank you Mister Bremer, you have indeed been most helpfull." he turned to Gunther. "Talk to me goose."

Gunther carefully thought about the matter, then said, "Well,then our next order of business is to check on billy petite, apparently he wandered into sickbay a couple of hours ago with a severe infection, from what I know, the medics had to amputate, but they said they found something on him."

"Lovely." Sheridan responded brightly. "Alright. lets proceed. Send a team to Mr Petit's quarters, also send a team to the Exec's quarters... tell them to be civil to the Admiral." Sheridan explained. "and as for Mister Hurd... Well. I think he's a turd.. so.. lets do this."

Gunther with sheridan following, went down to sickbay, and approaching windspirit, Gunther asked," Where are the items you recovered from billy petite."

Windspirit pointed to one of the labs," In the back, they are on the table, no one has analysed it yet."

Gunther nodded, then went to the lab, and pulling out a tricorder, he scanned the bags," Yep, its the same formula, marijuana laced with a lot of cocaine, pretty much the same recipe, id say this and the one Mudphit and Ayrissa had, all came from the same batch."

"Okay... so next stop... sickbay." Sheridan responded before tapping his combadge. "Sheridan to Brown, take your team and do a sweep of Private Daniel Hurds quarters."

"On it sir. You'll have the paperwork in two hours."

"Detain anyone you encounter for this drug investigation.."

"Consider it done sir."

"Excellent." Sheridan couldn't be more pleased as he hung up and then he contacted the other guy he wanted for this. "Sheridan to Von Amsel. Take your guys and do a sweep of the Ex Oh's quarters, remember to be civil and polite to all you encounter... an Admiral lives there as do several cats and two young children"

"Ja, it vill be done Herr Oberleutnant."

Sherian smiled. "Proceed.. Sheridan out." he turned to Gunther. "You ready?"

Gunther nodded, "Well either way, we are going to have to apprehend Hurd, as his son was carrying illegal drugs."

"I'm happy with that. one less dealer off the streets... but we need to find his supplier too."

"We let our guys go to work and find what they find.." he paused. "also we should check the kitchen as well, pry into everything, anyone protests... we arrest them."

Von Estling then tapped his own combadge, saying, "Von Estling to Gunnery Sergeant Chalan, can you bring Private Hurd to his quarters."

Chalan acknowledged immediately and went to get Hurd.

Gunther didn't say anything further until the two of them arrived at Hurd's quarters. Just as Gunther was about to open the door, Chalan and Nightstar came with Hurd, and Nightstar said to Sheridan, "So I heard you needed private Hurd for questioning."

Sheridan nodded. "I do, yes." he responded. "His son was found to be possessing drugs, I need to have a word with the good private to find out why this is the case."

Nightstar nodded," Well he is all yours."

"Excellent. Thank you gentlemen." he turned his attention to Hurd. "So... do you know why I've called for you?"

"Umm... No... I didn't do it."

"Sit down.." Sheridan ordered quietly. "I'll ask the questions here."
he responded. "What do you know about the drugs situation aboard ship?"

"I don't no nothin'." the Private growled.

"I see.." he raised an eyebrow "I am here as part of what happened to your son.... he's in the hospital for reasons unknown to me at this time."

Sheridan continued to interrogate Hurd and at least five minutes, taking care to record the entire event for his own information later, also because it was regulations.

The door opened as he regarded Gunther Von Estling who came back. "Anything?"

Gunther shook his head, "Rooms clean boss, too clean if you ask me."

"I figured as much." Sheridan responded. "Stay Loose Hurd, Don't leave town.." and with that he turned and walked out the door, Hurd muttered something as Sheridan turned his head, he regarded the Marine a look of poison. "Do not fuck with me Private..." he said quietly before he took his leave.
