Book Cover & Preview Text
At 5:34 pm Jason glanced at his watch. And thought to himself,
“I wonder what they want? They will be there in less than a half hour. What am I going to do, if they ask me to cease my research?”
There was some kind of recital at the college and all the parking was jam-packed. Jason finally found a spot about three blocks away. He jogged toward the office and saw Sam at the front door waiting. Soon the two agents joined them. They went inside to Jason’s office.
When they were inside, Jason noticed, Agent Haws whisper ‘Hendricks’ to Agent Randolph and smile. Jason felt a bit better. He started to introduce the men.
“Agent Haws, This is Sheriff …” “ …Sheriff Sam Michaels.”
Agent Haws finished Jason’s introduction and continued.
“This is Agent Randolph. We have been sent here to secure the situation.”
“What situation is that?” Sam asked.
Agent Randolph continued.
“Well, you see, Sheriff, Dr. Savage here has opened a can of worms."
