Chapter 13

They never did find out what the prisoner had done to warrant such a diverse group as picked her up. They did find that several C-37A's (Gulfstream V) and C-37B's (Gulfstream G550) had flown in to Pounds, refueled, unloaded a single passenger to a blacked out Suburban with government plates and flew out for several days before, during, and after their flight.

The reimbursement for the use of E'veen's private Lear didn't come for months. Strange doings for a 'transparent' government.

Even though Bill hated flying it, the Lear came in handy over the next months and even years.

That was for the future ... for the now, the Junior Deputy United States Marshals made presentations at schools and played with the kids. Eleven million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars was deposited annually to Bill's accounts.

Andie refused any more payments, graduated and disappeared into the morass of Equatorial Africa. There may be more about her later ... and maybe not.

E'veen practiced the sideways in time ability of the watch. Bill didn't know ... the pocket watch was gone. As far as he was concerned that was the end of it. Regardless, life moves apace.

People move into the space provided by people moving out. Friends come and go. Bill understood ... E'veen didn't so they spent a few weekends a year flying to places like Boston and Sacramento to visit what Bill called acquaintances and E'veen called friends. Mostly it was life's rut ... they chased and caught evil ... it was their job.
