Smith Makes Stacy an Offer

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 15339

"I don't know. Would you do a thing like that?" Stacy asked, trying to sound just as deadpan as Smith. "Of course not," Smith said smoothly. "But I understand that the police are not making as good a job of protecting you and your friend as they might. Now we in the DoD would be more than happy to take over the protection of the two of you. You could not possibly be safer than with us. Of course, in return we'd expect you to be... co-operative, shall we say."

"You realise I no longer have a copy of my paper?" said Stacy, hoping to discourage him. "That will be no problem. We have a copy here. Never mind how we got it. But there are one or two parts of it that we are struggling to understand. Oh, we'll get there eventually, whether you help us or not, but your assistance would speed things up. One other carrot for you. Some of our people are doing some very promising research into memory restoration. They might well be able to help you."

Stacy wondered how much he had told her was true. Should she tell Falk about the phone call, and what she interpreted as an implied threat? After a little thought, she said:

  1. "Sorry, Dr Smith. I'm not going to help you."
  2. "I'll have to consult with Dr Wu before I can give you an answer."
  3. "All right. You win."
