It was an unremarkable class 5 roaming repeater but near enough to the gremlin type for us not to want it loose near emergency vehicles. As we were setting our PKE meters back to 'find living brain' mode, I saw two men digging about, four addresses along from where they had been digging about a few minutes before. I'm their landlord, I'm entitled to. I'm not one of your ghosts, anyway. Your tenants' stuff is theirs and not yours to take, if you are what you say.
Lets see what's in that sack.
The sacks contained metal detectors and a variety of valuable objects. The patrol came back. I explained what had happened, and picked up the two rifles by putting my proton gun through their slings. We felt a moment of realization. We recovered our handcuffs from the bodies and got on their vehicle.
