	And EXITS without looking back... Rom isn't so strong, he 
	takes a beat to look at both Odo and Sisko to make sure it's 
	okay to leave before he follows.  Sisko and Odo exchange a 
	grim look...

					SISKO
			I better have a talk with your 
			prisoner, Constable...

	Odo nods, rises, leads Sisko into...

16   INT. HOLDING AREA

	Croden lies on a bunk at the rear of the holding cell, legs 
	crossed, the picture of relaxed ease.  There is almost a 
	relief at being caught.  He has the locket in his hand, 
	contemplating it.  He glances over as Sisko and Odo ENTER.

					CRODEN
			Don't you feed your prisoners?

					ODO
			The fact that you killed a man doesn't 
			affect your appetite?

					CRODEN
			It was him or me.  If he killed me, 
			I wouldn't be hungry now.

					SISKO
			I want to be sure you understand 
			what's going to happen.  A trial 
			will be held to determine your guilt 
			or innocence.  We can assign an 
			advocate to defend you or you can 
			request one from your home world.

					CRODEN
			I doubt that anyone on Rakhar would 
			care.

					SISKO
			Really.  Isn't murder considered a 
			serious crime where you come from?
