John Martin

Captian John Martin was an officer with the Royal American Mounted Police at its headquarters in Victoria. He met Col. Thomas Bushell, Capt. Samuel Stanley and Dr. Kathleen Flannery at Victoria Station when their train arrived during the course of their investigation of the theft of The Two Georges. He explained he had booked rooms at the William and Mary Hotel for the two men but hadn't realized Dr. Flannery was travelling with them and so had nothing for her. However, since Dr. Flannery was a local and had her own residence in town, this wouldn't present a problem. His main concern was that hotels in Victoria had been fully booked with the announced visit by the King-Emperor.

Dr. Flannery was not satisfied and insisted that she needed to continue to work closely with the two RAMs. Rather than be belligerent about it, she used charm and her physical attractiveness to convince Capt. Martin to take her along to the hotel despite his misgivings. Being human and male, Martin did so. When the hotel managed to rearrange things so Dr. Flannery also had a room, Capt. Martin took his leave telling them that a driver would be available for their use and to feel free to contact him if they needed anything else.
