Old Fashioned gum-shoe leg-work, calling every motel in Black Mountain

changed name, ownership and.. all its staff. Par's story was holding,
but in someways I wished it hadn't. We were back to square one in terms

Who else could have been involved? There must have been a paper-trail

records that they were willing to provide. What about the local
coppers? An SS raid on a fugitive computer hacker holed up at one of
the local motels was not the sort of event that would be likely to have
passed unnoticed at the Black Mountain county police office, indexable
records or not.
