    About this ebook

    Rage stops what appears to be a drunk driver on the way to work. He dies the next day in the hospital. The gave him 26 points of blood but could not stop the blood from clotting in his veins. The hospital notifies the CDC of the unusual case. The CDC has no idea the cause.
    In Seattle, the case is given to Inspector Strong to review. The CDC instructions are to wraps the body and car with special plastic. The CDC sends an agent to determine the cause. All federal agencies are notified of this death.
    The CDC fears a plague. They take blood samples from everyone that even came close to the person. Then they find he spent two weeks in Europe and has a new job at a dairy. It is panic time for the CDC. She threatens to close the airport, the dairy, and everyplace he has been. They are unable to identify or recreate the blood clotting.
    They first assumed it was terrorists, then murder, then an accident he caused, the cheese he bought in Europe, the cheese caves he visited.
    Each investigation is a dead end. The CDC buys his apartment, then the entire floor. It is remodeled, cleaned with live steam. His body, car, apartment is all wrapped and burned or placed in a blast furnace.

      Chapter 1 The Drive to Work

      Detective Rage is a homicide detective and is driving to work at 6:45 am on a Monday. She has been in the homicide section for several years now. She is the best to have in a shootout. Patrolman Jones can attest to that fact. They have been in some tight spots together. No one is sure of their exact relationship and likely, neither do they?

      She carries a set of twin-matched, pearl handled, silver Colt 45s. She can fire both Colts at the same time and put twelve rounds in two separate 3-inch circles at thirty yards.

      Her red hair, one would never say to her face, matches her spirit.

      She started in early to work to clean up some paper work on the last case and put it to bed. The weather has been acceptable, so her business has been slow. No one complains in homicide when business is slow.

      It is not raining in the one city where very few people even own an umbrella, no less use it. But a few people will carry one in January; where it will rain 33-days straight. In January, even the ducks wear boots, hip boots, and rubber hats.

      The weather in Seattle has a few local descriptions that will mean something only to the locals. Such as, ‘occasional sun breaks’ means you will have intermittent showers. The ‘filtered sun’ means a continual mist will be falling. Partly cloudy means less than 1/4 of an inch of rain. They never forecast rain if less than an inch a day.

      The temperature except in the summer will have the nighttime temperature within a few degrees of the daytime number. The most typical temperatures in the winter are 36 and 45 degrees, take your pick for day or night.

      A car about a block ahead of Rage is weaving in her lane. Traffic is a little lighter than normal, but he goes over his lane into the next one his left without a signal. Then when he hits some turtles with his left wheels, he goes right and ends up back in Rage’s lane again. He goes so far to the right his right tires start to run over the lane dividers or know as turtles to the locals. With almost no snow to clear in any year, the lanes are painted as normal. However, an added safety feature are half circles about one-inch high and two inches in diameter. They are glued in sets of three between the painted stripped lane lines. It is
