AN OLD FRIEND

Dr. Lingard, this is Ransome. Remember me? Your friendly chief executive? Lingard, you don't drop by, you don't call. Aren't we pals any more? Oh well, we're both busy people... And after all, I have lots of other friends. Some of them have badges. One of them told me you called Marshal Waits about a... shall we say... interesting find? I want in. No arguments. After all, how much does Waits really know about you? Not as much as your old friend here. And I bet he wouldn't be as understanding about black market med supplies. I look forward to your call, doc.
