I left the Seven Dwarfs at the restaurant, wondering if a group having so much fun forming up to play private investigators, could possibly be at all effective. Gularte drove, while I prepared myself for the coming meeting. I had little doubt that Haldeman was going to be in some sort of rage over my conduct. I’d been foolish to think that my showing up a mile from the compound, playing as a representative of the base commander at Camp Pendleton, wasn’t going to reach his ears. I also knew it should not have mattered at all to him, so why was it very likely that it did?

I thought about my responsibility as the beach patrol commander. I would send Gularte back from dropping me off at my Cabrillo apartment to pick up Steed to be his partner for the shift, replacing me in that role. Neither Herberich nor Steed were suited up for beach patrol work, however, so I instructed him to take Steed home to get into uniform.
