    About this ebook

    Detective Rage buys a storage locker at an auction. She has officer Jones bring his truck and some extra folding money. She instructs him on how and when to bid with her by twirling her hair. A locker comes up and with some bidding Jones wins the auction. The fellow that lost tries to buy the locker after he gets some more money.
    Jones tells him, “No thanks.”
    His reply is “You will be sorry.’
    Rage takes with her an oil painting, four canes, and two small wooden boxes from the locker. After loading the truck, they start for Rage’s home. A big truck cuts Jones off, so he is no longer following Rage. He calls Rage on the police radio to tell her of the incident and to be careful. Dispatch radios Jones with the information that the truck was just reported stolen. Jones is now three stop lights behind Rage.
    Rage has watched a truck following her, even after she takes the long way home. They try to push her jeep off the road, but she fishtails them. There erupts a gun battle with Rage.
    Jones gives the truck slowing him down a hard push. The driver flips the truck and it burst into flames.
    In the police Lab. they unload Jones’ truck and search the storage locker’s items, finding nothing of real value. They must have only wanted what Rage had with her.
    A jeweler says the value of the jewelry in the two boxes is worth $2,500. The green emeralds in one box are huge, but the value is truly little. The oil painting, she has may have a hidden picture covered up. The four canes are wooden and worth little.
    What leads the pair to Iceland looking for a great treasure?

      Prologue

      Janet Rage picks up a black colored land line phone; she had it in college when in Idaho. It is an old friend never to be replaced by any phone.

      Janette Wanda Rage’s police badge number is 7304. She had been a patrolman for several years. She was the first officer to carry a Colt 45 in the entire police force. The police began reviewing their entire small arms procedure after this. It all came about when patrolman Rage riding as a rookie patrolman became involved with a street gang. The situation got out of control and Internal Affairs stuck their nose in after it was all over. You can understand better what and why she carries a Colt 45 as her standard sidearm after reading the ‘13th Street Gang, #1.’

      The now rookie Homicide Detective Janette Rage has been on the Police force for almost eight years. She is bright, aggressive, and dedicated to the job. She takes a fair amount of ribbing about her last name and the color of her hair. It usually goes on until they see her empty a clip of sixteen rounds at twenty yards into a 4-inch circle. She shoots a competition matched pair of Colt 45s. If that is not enough, she will crack a few ribs, and she will do it again in the gym.

      She is a very powerful and attractive young woman with a real bang, a lot like the color of her hair. She picked the spot she wanted to finish in the final ranking as a patrolman and detective. She is always looking down the road before she jumps. In slow or almost instant decisions, she is way down the road when she makes one. She appears to be a little too quick in judging situations, but she has yet to be shown wrong.

      Three years earlier, she had completed the Detective training course at the academy. She finished in second place; the other woman there finished twelfth out of the fifteen total candidates. In such a large metropolitan police force, her new duty assignment could have been one of many. She did not know until Monday after graduation her exact assignment.

      Homicide Detective Rage has been with Inspector Strong for almost three years. He was not happy when she was assigned to his section. He still remembers how that went.

      The Division’s Assistant Chief said, "Have a seat Earl. They have briefly looked over your caseload. Earl, the Chief of Police gave the Chief of Detectives a personnel jacket and told him, he has a new Detective
