It makes Middleton’s little publicity play sound like a fairy tale. I’ll get my camera to get a few shots of you and Anne. We’ll really bust this story in a big way!”

In mid-afternoon Ron glanced up at his clock and realized that Anne was long overdue, unless the visit to the hospital had turned into something very unusual. He trusted her, but he couldn’t help carrying a little shred of worry in the back of his mind when she had his powerful car out alone. He gnawed at a finger nail, watching the red second hand of the clock sweep steadily.

Voices broke into his reverie of worry. His mother’s voice and one that he didn’t recognize. He twisted in the chair to get a glimpse through the window. Coming from the house was his mother and a stranger.

Ron recognized instantly who the stranger must be. General Gillispie. The uniform and the insignia spelled out the name to him.
