Andrew hesitated before answering then said, "That sounds reasonable, Ma'am. Riggs, sorry 'Admiral' Riggs may be in over his head on this. The thing is why is he involved at all? Helping Westmoreland is one big gamble for someone who now stands to lose everything." He looked at the admiral, "Do... Do you think Westmoreland has something over him? Something that would destroy his career anyway? It wouldn't be the first time blackmail has been used to secure assistance."

"I believe so. I know Riggs has an aide. Why don't we go talk to him."

Deela looked over at Jones and Yamaguchi. She tried getting a reading on Yamaguchi but all she got was white noise. Andrew was far easier to read.

Torilla Yamaguchi who until now had been silent as she stood there inquired. "All of us?" she inquired. "the bunch of us heading there will tip the man or woman off to our aims... we should split up... assume they are onto us and plan accordingly."

"There is only one person I believe has been helping Westmoreland and he isn't here. Admiral Nechayev just told us that Riggs has left Starfleet Headquarters so Captain Clifford and I are going to talk to Riggs aide. Nechayev has pretty much said that Riggs was acting alone. I still want you both to go see Janeway, Toddman and the rest as planned." She thought for a moment, "Remember, this isn't an interrogation. We just want to confirm that no one knew of such Intel."

Yamaguchi nodded her head gently. "I'll try to remember that Admiral," Torilla responded in an even tone. "I will, however, be gentle.." it was hard to tell if the Halanan was joking or not until one saw her smile. "Admiral... we may need to consider where he has gone if he's gone off-world."

T'Lar wanted Lokran to know what happened, "Admiral T'Lar to Commander Lokran."

R'nard was unused to being in the command chair. He was used to being down where the action is. But he answered. "Lokrran here."

"It looks like Riggs has disappeared without his combadge. I have a feeling that he didn't know that Westmoreland was going to kill someone, especially an Admiral's child and he's upset with him. If I was Riggs and just found this out, I would stow away on a ship that would get me closest to Remu III. Check to see which ships have left within the half-hour. Also, check the ships that are planning to leave within the next fifteen minutes. Scan the ships for an extra body without a combadge. If you find him, I want you to beam him aboard the Essex and detain him for questioning."

"Will do. Checking it now. Lokrrran out."

Yamaguchi and Jones separated from Clifford and T'Lar, both to talk to people about Riggs.

Yamaguchi nodded. "General.?" she inquired. "Shall we sir?"

"WE Shall...", answered Andy

They both went straight to Janeway's Office and waited to be let inside, once they where seated in the office Andy fired the first Shot...

"Ma'am we are here because we are helping Admiral Bremer to find the Killer of his twins... I would like to know, if possible if Admiral Riggs Mentioned something about an intelligence report that showed that there was movement on the neutral zone", Asked Andy

"Well there wasn't any intell like that I would have known... besides with your Intell clearance level you should aswell... why are you asking this kind of question... May I remember you both that cause a superior officer without some proof may end in a court-martial", answered Janeway

"I know... The thing is that Admiral Riggs specially requested that Bremer stayed behind to solve that matter...looks like there is something wrong here... Besides Captain La Forge confirmed that no such movement occurred", said Andy

"Very well I'll make some inquiries by myself and get back to you and T'Lar... Ok?", was Janeway's Response

"Thanks, Ma'am", Said Andy

"Dismissed"

Both stood saluted her and exit the office

Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow. "Well that could have gone better." she paused. "Toddman next. Let me try... sometimes men respond better to a woman's touch." she then smiled at him as she turned to look left then right, clearly hesitant. "Which way?"

"Very well Commander... Let's go to Toddman's Office", he answered

They reached Admiral Toddman's office several minutes later as Torilla looked at the Admirals aide who was seated at her desk. "Is the Admiral about?"

"Yes, ma'am... I'll let him know you're here... can I inquire as to what this is about?" she inquired.

"We're doing an informal investigation into a recent tragedy and we need some
infomation to help our case."

Andy just played along as previously arranged between both of them.

The younger woman nodded as she tapped a few keys. "Go on in.." she opened the door as Yamaguchi thanked her and the two of them walked into Toddman's office where they found Admiral Toddman standing next to the large viewport as he was contemplating something.

"Admiral." Yamaguchi addressed him quietly. "We know you're busy sir so we'll come right to the point... we're investigating the murder of Admiral Bremer's children and we were wondering if you could help us with some infomation?"

"You think Admiral Riggs is involved?" It was not a question and not phrased as such so Yamaguchi answered in kind. "We think he had a hand in the matter, Yessir," she responded in a cool tone.

"Well, what do you wanna know from me?" he turned and went over to his desk. "You guys want anything to eat or drink while your here?"

"A coffee will do for me sir black no sugar... Thanks", Answered Andy

"Just a glass of orange punch for me please.."

Toddman nodded as he replicated the two drinks and he handed them to his visitors as he raised an eyebrow, clearly waiting.

Torilla sipped her drink as she decided to come right to it. "We want to know if Riggs knew about anything along the Romulan border recently.?"

"No. the Romulan intell he fed Admiral Bremer is a load of hogwash. Nothing is happening along that border..."

"Mmm... It begins to form a whole theory here... Adm Riggs is way over his head on this", answered Andy

"Sure he is...", answered Toddman

"Very well sir... thank you for your time."

"Of course, please pass along my condolences to Admiral Bremer about his children.. and we'll deal with Mr. Riggs... now if there is nothing further?"

"No, sir." Yamaguchi still held her drink in her hand and her PADD in the other as she drained her glass in one healthy swig.

"Very well. Dismissed." and with that Yamaguchi and the General departed.
