The escort was simple: eight cars, four at the front, four at the back. Each of the cars would hold four people. That made thirty-two. Another would go ahead of the escort as scouts. Those remaining would stay behind at the department, most of which were junior uniforms, along with two or three of their superiors. The one remaining car would serve to fetch anything they needed from LIPD, or if the Eel decided to double back here. Small chance of that happening, but it was still possible. He gave each of the cars letter codes, from A to H, the first one at the front being A, the one beside it B, and so on. LIPD
