Charlie Craft was discussing evidence found at the Cooper site with two of his team members when the phone rang. It was his boss, Pam.

“I need to take this, let’s take a break and be back in my office in five minutes.”

He answered the call as they walked out of his office.

“Charlie, I hate to tell you this, but the director wants the investigation into the Cooper incident stopped immediately. All the evidence needs to be sent to Quantico as soon as you can box it up. I'm sorry. You did excellent work on this.”

Charlie was stunned. “How in the world can they justify shutting down the investigation. My team just spent two days gathering and cataloging evidence. There’s so much material it’s overwhelming.”

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “Pam, I don’t understand. Most of the evidence hasn’t even been given a cursory look. What’s going on?”

Silence was his answer. Finally Pam said, “Politics, nothing more, nothing less. Mint Dollar declared it closed and the director is following his lead. He doesn't want to embarrass the agency with a retraction. Sorry, I wish I had a better answer.”

“This is wrong, Pam.”

“I know, Charlie. But my hands are tied.”

“No they’re not.”

“Charlie, be careful.”

Charlie was silent. He knew his position in the agency was not high enough to effectively fight the decision. He closed his eyes, sighed and said, “I'll have everything sent as soon as we can get it packed. Anything else I need to know?”

“Alan Seltzer said he would call you later today and explain. I’m not sure why he’s involved, but he asked me to tell you.”

Charlie understood immediately, but said, “I have no idea. Guess I'll find out when he calls.”

“Thank you for your cooperation, Charlie. Let's put this behind us and get back to work.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

After the call ended, he sat back in his chair. Seltzer would be honest with him, or at least Charlie hoped he would be. He got up and went into the lab to tell his team the bad news.
