Something told me not to track their progress inside, but to watch the young man. As soon as they were out of sight, he threw open the passenger door,...searched until he found her purse, and rifled it, taking all the cash and stuffing it in his filthy jeans. He then tossed the purse in the dirt and jumped into the car, driving away in cloud of dust.He'd just abandoned the three of them, penniless, in no-forks, Missouri.Hmmmmm...'Here we go again, ' I thought, as I waited for the three to return. Hold out your hand.”Joshua held his hand out and before he could react, he felt a prick on this fingertip and saw a spot of blood. “I'm a medical researcher like I told you before and my team and I developed this test and another one you'll get in a minute. This one tests you for any illicit substances. I dont really care if you use, but I need to know your mind is clear. “Anton touched what looked like a test strip to the blood drop and waited. Nothing happened that Joshua could see. “Well. James is a pretty independent cuss and would never submit to being run. Why don't we quietly canvas opinion? I mean, it might never happen but I think we should be ready."Ginny smiled at him. "Thanks, darling. I'll see what I can do. Do you know the chairman, Something Bontoft?"He shook his head but promised to ask around.She talked to the Tarletons, Stevenses and Cunninghams. All were supportive but hedged their support. No one knew what the cost might be. Ginny wondered what the support might. I was making a little money from the art world, but far from enough to cover my expenses. At best it was break even, if I could live on air and live in the woods.Still I had about half a million dollars spread over accounts in Mossberg and Forest Grove. I also had an empty battery pack worth about $25,000 in cash once it was converted from gold and silver bars.In theory I could run fast and run far from Mossberg Alabama at the drop of a hat. I just didn't feel as though I was finished with.
