this is a precursor for something more to come. They’ve spent too much time for it just to be filler. I can’t say it’s very interesting though. These guys are supposed to be such computer geeks and can’t even figure out how to block an interloper? Come on!
And why don’t they just go to the authorities (in spite of their names), explain their problem, and ask how they should handle it. If nothing else, they could be instrumental in working with the Keystone Cops and maybe break up a gambling (or racketeering) ring.
