Operation Dynamite - Nothing will be hidden

"Can you tell me how the money between you and the trust works?" asked Manual.

"I don't think I am going to answer any of your questions because your Advocate Cilliers told me that you could use the answers against me and I don't want to talk about anything now because whatever I say may be misconstrued so if you don't mind, I will not answer any of your questions," I said.

Just then I was interrupted by a call from Stuart. "Guess what, these fucking bastards have forgotten their equipment here at the office. They brought me back and left. All their equipment to take copies from the computer are lying here. What a fucking bunch of pricks!"

"Well, they are still here trying to take copies from the computers but they struggling. Are you OK?" I asked.

"Ja, I'm fine...just fucking angry. They think they can do as they fucking please... driving at 180km an hour...no regard for the speed limit...fucking cunts. They digging a hole they going to fall into themselves and this is all because of that fucking Jenner."

Stuart was ranting and raving and swearing non-stop, not that I blamed him. I realized that the reason why they could not get what they wanted from the computers is because they had left some of their equipment behind at Stuart's office. I told Manual that they had forgotten something at Stuart's office and after he spoke to the computer investigator, he called someone to go and collect their equipment at Stuart’s office.

"Are these all your computers?" Manual asked.

"No, we have one in for repairs."

"Tell them to bring the computer back."

I did as I was asked and phoned Gary to bring the computer. He brought it back immediately. Gary was asked for advice about how to copy from a hard drive without corrupting the files. He told the computer investigator how to do it. He left the computer, which the Scorpions subsequently seized.

"This is taking too much time. We will just take your computers and return them when we are finished with them."

"No, you can't do that. We cannot run the children's home without the computers so you must take what you want from them and leave them with us," I said.

The missing Scorpion equipment duly arrived and eventually they had what they wanted, leaving us with computers that we could not work on because all the files had been corrupted by them. Sometime in the afternoon, all the Scorpions left. Manual promised me that the matter would be dealt with and the documents and equipment that they had seized would be returned to us before February.

It was the 6th December 2006.
