'For some people, yet I beliveve so; said Latto 'For some people it's made a great difference. He moved down to the last photo and then put the computer on the small table. 'I'm sorry; he said. 'The man who hit me isn't one of these.
'OK'. Martinez drank some water and looked out towards the beach and the wharf. Latto did too. There was a group of men and woman making muisc on the beach-some of them playing guitars. There was man with a snake round his shoulders walking past Casey's. This place is strange,thought Latto-surfers,people with snakes, sea lions living under the wharf.
'Those two other doctors - I told them where you were staying. Did they come round and see you earlier? asked Martinez.
'Yes; replied Latto. 'And I found out something interesting form them about Deborah Spencer's computer,the one that was stolen.
'Oh yes? said Martinez
'Deborah was wrting a book, putting down all her ideas about how to help with Parkinson's Disease. And everything she had written was on that computer.
'But she kept snother copy somewhere? said Martinez.
'The other doctors-Ray and Sylvia-they say she didn't She...well, people don't always keep copies of things they should.
'True; said Martinez, looking carefully at Latto. 'So are you saying that thai man with the ear-ring took the computer because Ms Spencer's book was on it?
It's possible; Latto replied, 'but I don't know. I mean,maybe someone wanted to steal her ideas.'
One of the other doctors.? asked Martinez.
