Policy PoliceVolume II. Number 4.

Up Close and Personalised. Episode 4.

Summoned to the DoC’s

office before lunch. This

never bodes well.

She’s good. Never saw your last Prof

around the office so much.

Glad to hear it.

But there are some issues.

Ah…

Psst. Psst

Whisper…

Ha! Ha, ha!

Grrrr

Tin badges are so last century, don’t you think? We’re all

chip-and-pin these days.

What kind of movies do you watch? Classic oldies?

Federal Agent.

I…. Er … If a Fed beats the crap out of a mid-

ranking civil servant on my patch, my boss gets

to hear about it..

Then I do. At max volume.

So somebody owes me.

What do you reckon, Miss …?

Gentian. Daisy Gentian.

Yes. Of course.

Shall we say I have in my possession all the CCTV footage from in and around this building on a

certain day.

Ah…

But you know what?

I’ve run the facial recognition program and …

nothing.

No name, no background.

Off database.

Now that’s … interesting.

And useful.

Sharp, too. Even better.

Keep this.

Don’t try to run.

I’ll be in touch.

Cow-wall-ski?

It’s the best I could do at short notice.

Agent Kowalski.

I need a word…

In private.

Later…

There’ve been complaints…

What about?

You.

Who from?

Just about everybody on this floor.

The Zombies! I didn’t know they had it in them.

You’re too … abraisive. You’ve

upset them.

And they don’t like your salary.

It’s not my fault I’m a

Prof..

These people really can’t

get out much.

SHOW

YOUR

PASS

They don’t. Most of them live in New Bohemia.

Gated community just south of

the city

Where?

I know. The trams don’t go

there.

Got them stopped.

Said they brought property

prices down.

Jeez. But what do the Zombies want

with me?

They want you to be a bit more … like

them.

Stuff that.

Just watch your mouth then.

OK, OK, OK..

So unprofessional

What she must’ve done…

…did you hear what she said…

Grrrr

That much money…
