Chapter 183

Brad DeWitt was sitting in his desk chair, turned sideways and staring out the window, a strange look in his eyes, when Garth knocked on the doorframe. The chief turned back to face him and the lines of strain and tension on his face were all too obvious. He motioned Garth forward.

"Come in, come in. And close the door."

Garth had sent everything he'd found on his computer to his Evernote program on his tablet before leaving his office, so he'd have it all handy. He wasn't sure exactly how his boss would take what he had to say and he wanted to be as prepared as possible. He lowered himself into one of the chairs facing the desk and wondered exactly how to begin here. How to open the subject.

He cleared his throat. "I've, uh, been doing a little research on my own, Chief, and I found some things I'd like to run by you. Although you might find some of it a little bizarre."
