The police captain raised his eyebrows when he read the final order.
Place a Senior E under arrest?
Certainly, a Senior E. It was one thing to allow these birds to wander around, free as air to do as they please. It was one thing to let them get away with making such statements as "The police attitude toward the people is the major cause of crime." It was something else, and time the E's found it out, for them to make any overt move to interfere with the police in their performance of duty.
Personally, he hoped the old E would be fool enough to resist. It would strengthen his case.
The police captain obeyed the first of the orders without a hitch. He proceeded to the scene of the crime.
