[Holosuite] (Music)
One thousand bars of gold pressed latinum.
Non-negotiable.
(Quark is looking at an alien Faberge egg when Rom puts the tray down.)
Very nice.
Unfortunately, there's a problem.
Problem?
Langour, anyone?
What problem?
The buyer has backed out.
You guaranteed us a buyer.
A question has been raised about the origin of this bauble.
A similar one was taken during a raid on a Vanoben transport just two light years from
here.
If you had a bill of sale You didn't ask for any bill of sale when we
contacted you.
You will find another buyer.
A buyer who asks no questions?
That could take a long time.
We don't have a long time.
(Croden enters, with a weapon) Just stay, stay, stay where you are, please.
What's this?
Don't fire.
What do you want?
No one is going to get hurt.
Just give me that.
Whoever you are, you're making a mistake.
Well, it wouldn't be the first, and probably won't be the last.
Give that to me.
(Ah-Kel grabs the table and smashes it into Croden's face.
The broken glass reforms into Odo as Ro-Kel fires but misses Croden.
Croden shoots Ro-Kel and Odo grabs him as he finishes morphing)
Security and medical to holosuite one.
(Music) Five glasses for four people?
He's dead.
My brother.
(Odo knocks Ah-Kel down then security arrives) Take them all to Security.
Yes, take them both to his office.
Thank goodness you were close by, Odo All of them.
Get out.
Go on.
(Music) (Bashir checks Ro-Kel and shakes his head.)
[Security office] (Music)
Have you known any twinned Miradorn, Commander?
I haven't met any before now.
In my species, we are not just twin brothers.
Together we are a single self, two halves of one being.
I am incomplete now.
You should have considered the risks before trying to sell stolen property.
You have no proof Two people were killed on the transport this
object was taken from.
My brother and I purchased it from a passing Altoran trader.
His name?
His ship's identification?
I am the one whose brother was killed, Commander.
You have only yourself I'd like you to return to your ship now.
You have my sympathies, but there may be more questions.
Please don't leave the station.
I want to deal with the one who killed my twin.
The law will deal with him.
My only purpose in life from here on is to see him dead.
(Ah-Kel leaves) Well, can't say I didn't warn you about Miradorns,
Odo.
I assume we are free to go?
Do you have enough evidence to hold them, Constable?
As Odo will be happy to confirm, I was just as concerned as everyone else that this was
a stolen objet d'art.
Yes.
Curious, but it's true.
We'll be on our way then.
You know what else is curious?
It's curious that Croden had a Ferengi phaser.
Available in many a port.
And it's curious that he knew the Miradorn were trying to sell you something of value.
How dare you suggest that my brother set up this robbery!
What an interesting theory, Rom.
If that theory should ever reach the Miradorn, I'd wake up dead one morning.
So, I'd appreciate your not spreading wild theories around casually.
(Quark and Rom leave) Lobeless idiot, next time I'll
