Chapter 51

Back at Fort Custer, Colonel Paine had been plotting ways to get payback on me. On his way to work, while listening to NPR, the idea hit him. Paine called Captain Nelson to his office first thing in the morning.

"Good morning, Steve." Paine waved him in. "Take a seat."

Nelson put his briefcase on the floor and sat down.

"I've been thinking about the Jefferson case," Paine said.

Nelson leaned forward in rapt attention.

"I think we should hand over all the evidence," Paine continued. "Jefferson deserves a fighting chance."

If the comment surprised Nelson, he didn't show it. From the start of the case, he had been advocating for full disclosure. Withholding evidence was always grounds for appeal. "Even the classified evidence?" Nelson asked.

"Of course. Give him everything. Bury that prick O'Donnell with so much evidence he'll regret the day he filed a discovery request. Upload it to a new directory and name it 'Jefferson Evidence.'"

Nelson agreed and went to work.

By noon, the directory was created, and the files were uploaded. Then, Paine spent the rest of the day implementing his maniacal plan. He mixed evidence together, duplicated data, deleted files, and renamed hundreds of documents. He combined classified evidence with unclassified evidence. He even did some cutting and pasting. When he finished, the file was an indecipherable mess. Paine's eyes twinkled as he envisioned me trying to make sense of this mountain of garbage.
