office in Red Bluff when we get to the main road and up around Casper
pound. They headed down the mountain ,they tied ropes together and Linos
and Nicos would go in front and tie the rope off where it was steep
,they would all hold on the rope and then do it again. That was a good
Idea Nicos said Bob with the rope Nicos said, that's how we learned to
work as a teem at our summer camp. Look at all those dead gophers and
ants, Don't tough them just get around them Matthew was carrying
the cooler with the glass tub in it, and Nephi had Ralph tied
by a rope on his right arm with hand cuff attached on his belt and

beamer right behind them. Every one else got checked out by old
dock Fredrick, who by the way is also our vet on the weekends and
emergencies. In fact he gave rusty a tetanus shot, He had a pretty bad
gash on his rear leg from that critter he was fighting with. He loved
old rusty In fact his dog Cappie is one of rusty puppy's
well Grown up puppy.
They all ate and seen Ted and Halina and nicos off , Linos just moped
around like he had lost his best friend.
Next morning they all met at the sheriff office and wrote down what
they had seen and heard Bob told Mike and Dianne and the Twins they
could use the car out back to get home and they could bring it back
latter. Charley went down to the used car lot in town and worked out a
deal for a van.
so Charley and Jim and bobby were ready to go home Jim ask Loins to come
and stay with them Just for a while and he would drive him up to see his
dad in Seattle and if his Dad was better he would bring them back here,.
Linos said I don't want to be a bother .Bobby said you won't I will take
you fishing and their are plenty chores to do, and then whispered Halina
just lives a few towns away. I will work and stay in your barn, Well we
will see about that, Bobby's mother Sara loves kids and can she cook
apple pie, Matthew and Nephi got on the phone and called a government
friend that they could trust, his name was Torry. He told Matthew he
would drive down and get him and Nephi and Clark that what happened down
their was just the tip of the ice berg, They also told him that they had
a glass cylinder from the lab. Tom had locked up Ralph in the jail
house and was standing guard, a sleep on Bob favorite chair feet on the
table and a twelve gage double barreled scatter gun, Rusty was right
next to him, wide alert, They called rusty their 4 legged deputy. would
put a hat and badge on him during the towns parade during rodeo days in
July. Bob was out at his place to get a little shut eye before
reliving tom and the jail, when woke up to a loud knock, He grabbed his
45 and open the door all of a sudden a light shown bright in to his eyes
Drop your weapon said the voice This is the us military .Their must have
been 4 jeeps and a truck with ma be 12 fully armed marines, what do you
want ,Drop your weapon No I'm the sheriff, then he heard a sound he was
familiar with being an x Marine himself, it was the sound of an M
16 slamming a round in to the chamber,. All right he laid the gun down .
two marines grabbed him and loaded him in to the truck. Where is Ralph
Hamilton ,Who Don't mess with me ! The man you brought down from the
mountains. He is at the Jail They drove to the jail, Rusty jumped
up and started barking Tom flew to his feet and glared out the window,
could not believe his eyes , Open the door commanded the Captain. Bob
Yelled Barricade your self in, Don't give him the prisoner, one of the
marines smashed him in the gut with his rifle barrel and he bent over I
will kill your sheriff right now grabbing the sheriff and pointing a
fire arm at his head ,then we will blow up this town , We mean business.
The sheriff yelled let the prisoner go so tom got Ralph out and un
hand cuffed him Ralph walk out the door Put him in my jeep Now
where is that glass cylinder? What Cylinder said Bob as a marine smacked
him in the head with his gun barrel I will kill him ,where is the
cylinder It,' in the back storage room Two marines burst by
him and into the storage room they came out with the cooler a Load up
and the Marines left. Tom rushed over to bob yelling get the doctor,
Fredrick was coming down the street get him to the hospital hurry for
bob was bleeding pretty bad from the gash on the right side of his head.
As dock was fixing his wounds, Nephi Charley and Clark came in the the
room. Bob said they got Ralph Was it a captain real big gye? Yes
they must of have wanted him and that cylinder, Matthew said I
only talked to Torry about Ralph and the cylinder. They have most likely
have had our lines bugged for a long time I remember their were new
lines put in by the phone company last spring We never thought any
thing about it. they said it was just an up grade of service, they
did run new lines past Casper pound. Now what? We wait for Torry to get
here he has a high official that he trust with his life Senator
Patrick. Ok we will wait. Later in the afternoon I got a call from
the airport and they said a military helicopter was landing it must be
my friends, Bob grab the truck and we went down to see, Yes sir it was
Torry Come on and we headed back to the hotel and went in to the
dinning room Marge had a private room in the back. We order lunch and
started to tell Torry all the things that were happening. Lets take a
fly over and look at that road and slide ma be I can get a military road
crew to open it up. Ok so we headed back to the airport, The chopper had
been refueled and was set to go. as they flew over the slide Torry could
see the huge gophers and ants He flew real close to them. and turned to
Matthew . This is where they developed these but they now have them in
the war zone .Just no way to get close enough to their operation to
learn exactly what they have Pretty scary. No said Nephi That not
scary It was the wolverine and Grizzly that they mixed DNA together a
fighting machine a real killer critter soldier. That's what Ralph
was doing and they also have some thing in that glass case .Did you see
in it. No it was sealed and that marine captain got it .That's not good,
Ralph must be working with them I think so. Their is the old lab Wow You
blew that in to smithereens yea and the other lab too. Let's head back
before it's dark. said Matthew Wait swing up to Saree lake as they
got closer They could see that something had the dam half rebuilt. Fly
in closer Look at the size of that beaver no Beavers They are dragging
through the water a 150 ft long tree. I wonder what else they have
mutated. What's in that glass cylinder? Torry said we got to find out.
