Final Challenge by Al Cooper Page A

t, yes. Because I have given it to you , not because you had neither de served n or earned. I've done it for you do not remain any doubt about Jack Edwards is an integrity person who always gives more of one opportunity to those w ho don't deserve it - they had never se en him speak so biased. Now was clear t hat man not only wanted to keep them out of the case, but trashing th em - Truth be told is I hadn't confidence in you, and you ended up giving me the reason.
     
    Marvin interrupted the boss, he was acting in a cruel and unfair way. Their report, at least, showed their honesty and ability to work.
     
    - I get the impression that you have not read the report in detail.
    - Damn, what is at stake is your ability, not mine! - He said gesturing ostentatiously with his arms and raising his voice. Then he paused and continued - The report does no clear, ab solutely nothing. I don’t care what the coroner says. He has some bad days, more than would be desirable. I care a damn about the bullshit of vaccines, or where they have gone on vacation. And, about Sheridan, this is another case, nothing to do with ours. Do you not know what you have written? What relationship is there between Sheridan, Owen or whatever and death of the doctors Klein and Olsen? The report does not conclude that there is absolutely any.
    - It is obvious that there're many loose ends to tie. But we believe there is every reason to believe that both cases of disappearances and deaths of the two scientists are related. - Hanson argued, as a defense -
    - Assumptions? In this department, at least while I'm in front, no assumptions, just the facts. Objectively speaking you have nothing, agents, absolutely nothing. You know what I am going to do? First, pass the information on Owen, all you have achieved of a certain interest, to other colleagues who will make good use of it, certainly better than you. And in much the case at hand, take it for closed.
    - But ... - Marvin tried to replicate but the boss immediately aborted his words -
    - Case closed. From your report concludes that there is no reason to investigate further. You take over a month dizzy partridge, to reach a conclusion that was obvious. You can get out, that's all.
     
      They left that office with the feeling of being subject to persecution at the professional level difficult to prove. What could they do? Complain to a superior? They would win the final wrath for the rest of their career, they would be set aside as dross the department. They did not understand how anyone could be so miserable, anyone who read such report would deduce at least the interest of following the investigation. As muc h as he hate d them, work was work. What interest could have Edwards in filing a case like that? ...
       They had been partially answered their question if they had seen how their boss  partially falsified his report, obliterating references to the forensics study and Owen's trip from Manaus, before turning to his superior for review and subsequently closed.
       Marvin and Hanson spent two of the worst days of their life. Even Hanson, who usually had the ability to be isolated from his work problems, was affected in such a way that his sense of humor disappeared like magic. Meanwhile Marvin was broken. He had laid out in that case to escape his emotional plight, and all he had achieved from it was sinking a bit more. So that morning when the phone rang in their office, neither of them was in hurry to get it. Hanson finally picked up the phone to ask, in a tone of apathy.
     
    - Hi, agents Marvin and Hanson.
    - Two in one? No way!   Aren't you goi ng to get me out of doubt ? ... - Replied the other side a woman's voice which sounded sweet, friendly, close. That seemed to wake up Hanson a little from his lethargy -.
    - Sorry. Stuart Hanson, miss. Or lady ...
    - Miss, Mr. Hanson, an d hopefully for a long time. This is Kelly Adams, Department of Biotechnology of the FBI.
    - Biotechnology? I had no idea
