CHAPTER SIXTEEN

It wasn't easy for Davidson to carry the rug-wrapped corpse down to his black Cadillac. A couple of times, the weight shifted and he struggled to stay on his feet. However, nobody paid any attention to him as he tottered across the pavement and dumped it into the trunk of his vehicle.

He sat behind the steering wheel and took some deep breaths while pondering recent events. The Freedom Alliance must already know about the Chancellor's plan to release a super-virus to wipe out all of the Outlaws, including them, but couldn't locate and destroy it. That was why the Alliance sent a team into the CDC building to destroy the seasonal flu vaccine that contained the super-virus antigens. If the vaccine was destroyed, the Chancellor would have had to wait several months, until a replacement batch of vaccine was manufactured, before he released the super-virus. In the meantime, the Alliance could step up its efforts to locate and destroy that virus.

However, due to Davidson's intervention, the flu vaccine was not destroyed and would be administered during Immunization Week, which started in a few days. That meant the Chancellor could release the super-virus in eight or nine days' time.

Davidson wanted to help the Freedom Alliance find and destroy the super-virus. But he had to get in touch with it first. How could he do that? The best avenue was Helen Watkins. He gave her a lot of rope after he discovered she worked for the Alliance. Time to give it a tug.

As he drove towards her apartment, he considered dumping the corpse somewhere along the way. However, if she doubted his sincerity, he would need to prove his bona fides. The corpse should give him plenty of credibility. Fortunately, it was a cool day.
