The three were quite drunk when the beer ran out and good sense convinced them to call a cab to take them to their homes. John was dropped off first and he said, “I’ll pick you two up in the morning. And Rick, tell your mom you were at a university party, not with two professors.”

By ten in the morning, John had picked both of them up and they were at the lab boxing bones and skulls as well as a lot of personal items of Hendrick’s.

In the safe, Hendricks unfolded a sheet of paper and said, “Here’s the spectrophotometer report on the gold, John you keep it, it’ll just get lost in all my papers.”

John replied, “I think I’ll have it framed and hang it where my doctorate diploma used to be.”

Hendrick laughed and said, “Then what am I going to use?”

“I figure in a couple weeks you can use the front page of the National Inquirer.”

Rick said, “I got my envelope at home, a guy was waiting. But, I didn’t tell mom.”

“Well I can understand that, I wouldn’t either.”

“I think I’ll stay over at my sisters until mom finds out from someone else.”

John said, “Remember, we don’t say a single word about the entire affair to anyone. It’s not impossible we could lie our way out of this or make a deal with the students and the University.”

Rick replied, “What about the student that stole Sam?”

“That’s a whole different kettle of fish. He’s not going to say someone else discovered a Neanderthal skeleton and he stole it from us and Poland. It may not even be a student that stole it, probably someone he told about it. Let’s not forget someone cracked that safe. Not many can do that and sure as hell not one of those students.”

Hendrick said, “That does it; let’s get the hell out of here. How about you two at Lin Lou’s tonight for Chinese, we can’t let this get us down; to hell with it.”

John replied, “It’s not like I have anything better to do and Rick has never turned down anything free yet. What time?”

“Seven, Lin Lou’s”
