He now must stay until the truck is checked out for being safe. Penelope (Detective Rage) roughs up a jewelry thief. Stan (patrolman Jones) is set as bait to catch the killers. How does the FBI get involved?

Rage needed some clams and she lets Jones dig them. When they have enough they leave. A junior warden sees they are short a limit and thinks they are somehow cheating. Rage wins out and Jones smiles as he passes the warden, “You caught her in a good mood.” The next week they go surfing but can not find the large sand mounds they saw. They would have made good waves. She goes to the head warden. He can’t explain how they disappeared in a week. But, ‘it must be important why else would the police come back.’ Samples are taken of the sand to test. An unknown element is found in the sand that may account for the mounds leaving. Months ago, a drilling rig was south but torn down and everyone left town. An ancient Indian legend tells of visitors looking in great holes for the yellow earth, the earth shaking and huge waves that killed many. The UW says, “That is the huge earthquakes we found about that time.” In the multi-million penthouses in Seattle a report is make to the Madam, “The project is complete, and the money banked. The red headed devil brushed us but there was nothing to see.”

An urban legend has Alligators in Green Lake, which is near downtown Seattle. A pet alligator either escaped or was set free in the lake. While having never been seen, it still accounts for all the missing pets in north Seattle. Rage and Jones are having a sunny outing at the lake when a mother screams, “It has my baby.” Jones is in the water while Rage is getting more information. She enters the water, swimming out to where Jones again comes to the surface. They conduct a Seal search pattern and Jones finds the little girl. They work on her until she starts to breathe. The little girl has strange marks on her face and legs, but not teeth marks. They go to the hospital and the little girl is fine. They both wonder what is going on? Inspector Strong agrees they can guard the mother and child for the night. Early the next morning someone tries to kidnap the little girl. Rage changes clothes with the man trying to snatch the little girl, after Jones knocks him out. A gun battle erupts in the garage and Rage removes two from the battle, but they escape. The Inspector wishes to take all the medical records of the little girl and mother into protective custody. Will this help figure out what is going on?

Rage and Jones are driving an unmarked FBI car back home after an undercover assignment. Going to buy gas, Rage runs into a speed trap. She refuses to pay at the scene and ends up before a Judge. Her and Jones still use the FBI undercover id’s. She forces the judge to get a recorder, a prosecutor, a jury, and witnesses. The small town of Dugway has a secret within its miles of metal mines and they want no outsiders in town for a time. The Judge trumps up some charges to hold them for six days, until the deal is closed. Rage gets word to the FBI and they storm the town and finds no one in it. They find no entrances as shown on their maps into the mines. Every wire in the electrical panels has been removed and taken. The FBI finds Rage and Jones in the tunnels from a trap door in the jail where they were locked up. But no town’s people. The air in the tunnels is becoming bad as the FBI tries to search them. The FBI reasons, it was a drug operation they were shutting down. In the tunnels they find 65,000 small compartments bolted to the walls, they go on for over a mile. All the power into the tunnels was conditioned to be near perfect. Find the people and understand what is going on.

Someone is stealing diamonds, thousands of carets and returning most of them for a very small finder’s fee. No diamond merchants are pressing charges. A huge purchase was made and then 80% were sold at a loss but the rest were kept. Inspector Strong in a Chief’s meeting noted, “Someone is inspecting the diamonds and maybe keeping what they want.” Robbery is all over this, but it leads no place. Someone tries to recycle an empty whiskey bottle. The bottle owner stabs several people trying to get his bottle back and is killed in self-defense. The Inspector closes the case. The Inspector goes down to see the bottle. He finds a three-caret clear diamond in it. The diamond has no marks on it. In the Outback, a complete city is built to dig for diamonds. Almost 50% of these they keep. The rest they sell. The mine runs out quickly, and they leave everything there. Someone is trying to build a super-fast computer. They have invested several hundreds of millions in the project. The first test is in red China, and for what purpose? Can they predict weather? If so at what cost?

Walking Dog, a member of the Go-Shoot Nation is found murdered off the reservation. They don’t want the FBI involved. Inspector Strong is given the case. The Inspector must have the local police agency give him the case which they are happy to do. The Chief of the Go-Shoot Nation in their first meeting fails to give the Inspector the victim’s name or any evidence from his house. It takes a day before the Inspector is given the phone number of their police chief. The victim’s job was to be the gopher for the Chief and Council. He had no authority in any matters. Rage finds evidence that the body was moved off the tribal lands. The victim’s last assignment was completed a month ago. He was carrying papers between the Nation, the Railroad, and the builders of the fence around the Nation. After the fence was completed, he did go into the forest for some reason. Rage and patrolman Jones starts a walk in the forest at the place he started at. They have nothing specific they are looking for. In the forest they are attacked and chased by armed men with machineguns. The investigation uncovers Walking Dog’s love of old maps and books of the west. They were given no such material in any of the boxes from his house. What does that mean? Will Detective Rage be putting any pencils in the ceiling during this case?

Rage is made a temporary sergeant. A failed kidnaping and Rage hides the victim from everyone. The FBI tries to take the case, but Rage will not budge. Some FBI agents tries to get the Chief of Police to give them the victim. They club the Chief in his office and flee when they are found to be fake. In the Mayan jungle three women discover three 12-sided crystals in a temple. They will steal and take them to Missouri to study. The crystals arrive in Seattle hid in a container. It is stolen when a nuclear bomb threatens to destroy Seattle. The Seattle people are only told of a possible large explosion but to stay indoors. A huge mushroom cloud and fireball erupts over south Seattle. An air force fighter reports the explosion to be a megaton in power. The women get the crystals out of Seattle to Far West, Missouri during the explosion. In a penthouse in Joplin, Missouri the crystals are joined and aligned to the earth’s magnetic lines. A large glob of light appears in the penthouse. A strange message is conveyed concerning the Mayan tree of life and its orientation. The Madam leaves her office, ‘not every venture turns a profit.’

Rage had an adventure in buying a new vehicle. She stopped at many dealers and was under the car looking how to weld a box into the frame. One dealer thought she was smuggling drugs. Rage is out showing Jones her new Jeep when they stop a drunk driver. But the man at the wheel is a shooting victim. Jones goes back on the Strong’s team to help investigate the shooting. They are soon having wedding pictures taken and plans for the nuptials. Jones becomes concerned that Rage is enjoying the assignment too much. She is planning for a real wedding. Inspector Strong is working at the front desk of the hotel they are staying at. He talks to the shooting victim and then ‘The Secretary’ that was trying to plant an agent in the wedding business. Just how far will Rage have to go in this wedding and what of the Atomic company investigating alternative power. There could be billions involved in this case.

Rage is running as usual every morning. The Inspector calls her and tells her Jones was shot. Rage rushes to the hospital where the Inspector says he did not make it. Rage is in a daze and sent home to change and eat. The Inspector knows he can’t keep her off the case, so he uses her. The Inspector says when it is time he will take Rage to see the body. He was ID by his Seal’s documentation. He was shot near the locks while covering a shift for a friend. The Inspector takes Rage home with him for several days. The case goes no place, but someone is searching Jones’ apartment. Why? Rage tears the apartment apart looking for what he hid. A Lieutenant from the army tries to help decode the message Rage found from Jones but can’t. How does this relate to the speed trap ticket Rage got months ago? Who is playing both ends against the middle? Will the Go Shoot Nation be looking for scalps, before this is over? Who is the third party in this affair?

The Madam’s 757 wings to down-under, returning with $400 million to open a tidal plant on the Washington coast. Skin divers are pulled up dead by a fishing boat near Oregon. The Navy takes the two bodies and wants to cover up the incident. A missing person report has officer Jones at the diver’s house and finds three men trying to haul off everything. They are thrown in jail. The Navy admits and asks for help. The dead divers had equipment the Navy did not think was known. The investigation leads miles up the coast to the only plant nearby. Rage and Jones try to get close to the tidal generating power plant. They are hauled out of the water and sent back home. The Madam sees Rage and speeds up whatever she has going on. The case is cold after the plant closes and lays everyone off. The government and eco-group were happy until they were sued, and all the locals lose their jobs. The plant proves what is needed; truck after truck leaves the building. In a Near East Kingdom the Madam meets with the King and Crown Prince. She is not welcome by the Prince, but his father is wise. “Son, if the twig does not bend it will never be a tree. Our people need what she has.” Rage finds a clue and has court orders to search the plant. What do they find?

A VIP is coming to town. Rage must guard a back wall and Jones is guarding three garbage cans on 12-hour shifts for the FBI. They eat at a place they would never go to. A car load of hold-up men hit the café. Rage gets three in the café and Jones is almost shot in the outside kitchen doorway. Their car is damaged, and they fight to the end. The FBI and Inspector Strong feel the attack on them was of their VIP guarding. The FBI in DC bring them in to review all FBI security for the VIP’s visit. Local FBI are not happy with non-FBI in their procedures. When the attempt is made on the VIP, Rage and Jones have plans of their own There are several different people besides the FBI looking for the VIP. Some where there is a mole or two? Truckloads of FBI agents arrive in Seattle. Rage gets some unexpected help to dig out those responsible which will get the FBI out of town as quickly as possible. A Nunnery and a Standing Bear all assist in the case until the VIP is safe.

Homicide detective Rage is hiking alone on Mount Rainier. She is on a seldom traveled path, in the ice, snow, and has seen no one. She hears pop, pop. It makes her nervous. At her camp she sets it up and sleeps away from it. Someone shoots up her camp and takes all her supplies. But she hid some like a good Seal. She goes across the glacier and starts down. It takes several days, and she is listed as missing. The Colonel and officer Jones find her. Her car was rigged to blow when driven but discovered. The Colonel finds a small but strong heat source on the mountain where Rage might have heard shots. it melts when they take it to study. Jones finds similar devices all over the world, they are talking to each other. While they all try to discover the shooters, someone is buying coal power plants, working or not. A dark-head beauty in a Seattle Penthouse has charts of every power plant in the Americans and their ability to generate. A magnet pulse from deep space pass through the earth and sun. In response the sun sends out a massive solar flare. Some nations heed the warning with only minutes to react. The Madam in the Penthouse is the only game in town and has power to sell.

A call goes into the police call center in Seattle. “Sir, you want to report six stolen cars. They were take from your lot, this weekend. I will transfer you to Auto Theft.” In Auto Theft, “Sir, I will send a car down to take the report.” Later the same day patrolman Jones arrives at the address he was given. He pulls into a Junk yard. There are rows after rows of junk cars piled six high as he walks to the trailer in the middle of the yard. “Sir, you wish to report six stolen cars?” “Yes, they took six right out of the stacks.” Jones fills out the paperwork and leaves. Later he mentions to Homicide Detective Rage the stolen Junker cars. She mentions it to Inspector Strong before she leaves for home. The next day, the Inspector mentions it in a Chief’s meeting, which brings a chuckle from everyone. But the Robbery Chief mentions it to his Major. Pass experience has proven that if Inspector Strong mentions anything it is important. The Major will follow up. He finds Junker cars are being stolen all over town, many are not reported. The Inspector mentions the Junker cars to the FBI Director, “Inspector, I have seen reports from the West Coast that everyone is having a rash of stolen Junker cars.” The first question asks is, “How much flooding can you control with Junkers?” The second one is, “What is going on?”

A complex plan is executed to fire fake shots all around the city. All the time testing the police’s ability to respond. As Inspector Strong would put it, “When is the next shoe going to drop.” All officers are in every car the police have. They even use private vehicles and single drivers as much coverage as possible. A huge part, of the city’s power go black, banks are held up and shots are fired. Was it a ploy to isolate Jones and Rage? They are off the case. A kidnapping occurs and every means of travel to Seattle is filled with FBI agents. The Madam in her multi-million Penthouse overlooking Seattle is unhappy, “Find those responsible for this and make sure someone stumbles into them and the money is retrurned. I want this resolved now.”

Rage takes her first vacation back home. Jones laid a peck on her cheek when she left. She is having a problem with it being so unexpected. At home Granny Jane is wondering about a bow for Janette. The sheriff has a death from cattle rustling that has been going on for a time. He asks Janette for help. It appears the rustlers were after two prize bulls. Old man Smith is shot twice with the same gun, likely not an accident. No one seems to know anything, and the beef is not showing up within 100 miles. The state police take a week to review the file, adds nothing but rustling. Janette discovers the south valley was a central hub for the old missile trains. It was top secret, moved down to classified and for some reason not de-classified per procedures. The land is used by many to graze cattle. It is assumed to be all government owned, why ask and have them fence it off. Rage will need more help than just the single sheriff when the rustlers send in several truckloads of men. They want much more than just the cattle.

Mr. and Mrs. Black are enjoying two weeks in Mexico. In Seattle, their maid finds the three rooms upstairs are torn apart, furniture broken apart, the rugs pulled up and cut into strips, the light fixtures torn from the ceiling, the sink and toilet broken apart into the tub. A body of a man is barely seen in the bedroom before the maid runs screaming in tears. The plastic cards, many with photos still on the body, identifies him as Mr. Black. At Mr. Black’s business, B/W, they find full sized pictures of Mr. Black on several walls. A business associate identifies the body as Mr. Black. The wife is contacted in Mexico, she is still expecting her husband to return the next day from fishing. It will be a day before she can return to Seattle. Detective Rage researches all commercial and private jets from Mexico to Seattle. There is no way Mr. Black could have returned home from the last time he was seen in Mexico. Mrs. Black faints at the sight of his body. Her only words are, “That is not my husband, what have you done with him?” The bigger questions are no long who murdered Mr. Black, but where is Mr. Black? Who has been murdered in Mr. Black’s house? Why was he impersonating Mr. Black at his company?

The IA (Internal Affairs) Chief meets with Inspector Strong in a park. He is wondering, unofficially, how Rage’s pay matches her case file. It does not match. Now, he understands why and wishes he did not. He is killed minutes after the Inspector leaves. No one is found. The Inspector’s team begin the task of solving the shooting. They soon decide it has nothing to do with IA. They take many files from IA to give the impression that is where the answer will be found. They search his home finding a stack of papers on his desk. They take everything. Computers at the UW builds many connections within the papers found in his home. Robbery looks at the chart and agrees it could be a Fence’s way to sell stolen goods. Then a comment is made at the UW, read right to left. The diagrams start general and reduce to a single point. What does the point represent? The Chief’s personal papers also hold financial data of some type. The team decides that it must be a scam of some type? The city is issuing bonds in two days. If a scam, how is unclear, who could be anyone, when is soon.

Patrolman Jones needs some nursing after being shot on duty. Detective Rage has a murder of a maid in the old, old money area of Delridge in Seattle. The case has her stimmed. Researching the old case files, she finds two other murders 23 years apart on the same day of the month at the Andover mansion. Jones is home recovering and uses his computer to find another murder in 1881, same day of the month from newspaper files. This was the year the Andover mansion was being built. How many more murders are hidden in the old, dusty files? Do they follow the 23-year cycle, and all be on the same day? Will Jones be able to tie the victims altogether where none are Andover family members. But first he suggests a ghost or a curse on the house. Will any judge permit Rage to dig up all the victims and the old Andover members to test for DNA?

A Walmart store was held up and several boxes of sunglasses were taken at gun point. Detective Rage happened to be there. One robber shot at her and was later found floating in Lake Washington. An hour later a Target store in downtown Seattle was robbed in the same manner for boxes of sunglasses. The County Sheriff tricked the Seattle’s Chief of Police to have Inspector Strong head the task force on the two cases. All similar stores closed their optical department while the police investigate. Two officers from the County and City are the task force. The sunglasses come from India and are untouched by human hands from manufacturing, through shipping, until the receiving clerk takes them from a delivery box. At the distributor’s warehouse, the sorting and re-boxing is all done with computers. People never touch the boxes of any size on the speeding belts. One store clerk at Walmart’s makes copies of everything received, even to the point of copying the boxes the glasses come in. This is checked off against the packing slip. The boxes stolen all had a bar-code on the lid as well as the box and they did not match. A semi-truck hauling fruit to Canada is stopped by a blond boarder guard with red curls showing and a Colt 45.

The insurance companies are lost vast sums of money on disasters. The policies are bought just before the disasters. Going to lunch, Jones is being followed and Rage captures the tail. At lunch after the tail in known, Jones re-ups for a special mission and Rage can’t come. On his mission, he has no idea why they dug a shallow trench and fill it in. He returns safely home after a few weeks. Several more people watch Jones after the mission. Rage takes both out and puts them in jail. Several try to take the prisoners with fancy government papers. They all end up in jail for a brief time. How can someone predict earthquakes, floods and so on? It appears they have, and the insurance companies are losing money fast. Why does drilling for steam find the temperature decrease many miles into the earth and then raises again deeper. Why was the foreman murdered of this drilling rig? How can this be tied to the new HD TVs? Digital and analog signals are different. The Madam from the Penthouse must visit a venture and set it straight, while keeping Rage out of the picture.

A young engineer had assisted in the demolition of the old City Hall in Seattle. He took most of the transit readings as it was torn down. All that is left is a huge hole. He made a final visit before his next job outside of the USA. A day later, on the same high rise where the transit readings were taken; a body is found torn apart by a large air conditioning unit. Inspector Strong sends his team to investigate the death. With cameras and logins every person is accounted for that went to the roof for the previous week. The young engineer is seen on camera boarding a plane to leave. Rage and Jones walk the entire roof, finding the transit’s marks. The young engineer gave his transit and box to the building engineer when he left the last time. All his readings are taken to the UW to see if they can understand them. A hit man is killed trying to murder Detective Rage. She and Jones go into hiding in the most expensive hotel in the city. They request whipping cream, honey, heaters, card-board, and miles of string. Can they figure out the transit’s readings and what they mean now that the building is down? Why is a Federal Judge threating to take control of city government if action is not taken?

Patrolman Rage is nearing five years on the force. What does she want, Sergeant’s strips or a Detective’s shield? A woman Lieutenant is offering options. The FBI is hunting bank robbers heading toward Seattle. Rage’s opinion is they will never catch them. She offers where they might go. The FBI thinks she is reading their play book. She meets the new FBI Director for Seattle, Ted McClearly. Seattle Robbery has someone stealing lady’s dresses by the hundreds. Rage visits a clothing store and feels they could be next. As a patrolman she tells her Sergeant, but he will not pass it up the line as the next possible robbery. The store loses hundreds of dresses. Rage is permitted to talk with robbery directly about another possible robbery, but they wait too long, and another store is robbed. The Chief of Police is not happy they had them twice and did nothing. But the robberies stop after 15,000 dresses are taken. The dresses are processed, and most are shipped to China. What is left of the dresses finds its way to a sheik. The ‘Madam’ running the venture buys a Boeing 757 and a penthouse in Seattle with a credit card. She moves her operation to Seattle. She now has three assistants; Solviegn, Briallen, My-Ling.

While the Inspector and FBI agent Ted are in their hideout fishing store fishing store, three men hold it up. Value taken is under $1000. They steal everything in the glass counters, at the front of the store. Several hours later a similar layout is robbed of $250,000 of jewelry in Portland. The Seattle store was practice? The three men are found dead in a large walk-in safe for no reason. Was the real target the fishing store and what is under the glass? How can a UW mathematician help solve either case with prime numbers? How many other safes are in danger from being open with no alarms being given? Is trying to tail a suspect in a town of one-way streets easy when he j-walks and changes direction in a second?

Detective Smith is on vacation. Detective Rage with the Inspector investigate two deaths in a UW four story frat house. Two boys, a junior and a freshman are found in the frat’s elevator dead covered in blood. The blood is from the freshman. The cause of death can’t be found by either the Inspector’s people or the UW medical team. The old frat house has a secret room with access through the elevator shaft when it is not in the basement. The two boys never have anything in common but where they stay. The freshman is in a wheelchair and has a room on the first floor. Rage brings Jones under cover as a football prospect to see what goes on in the frat house. Some rare metals and chemical salts are later found in the freshman’s blood. But the levels are such he had to have been exposed to them as a junior in high school. Federal agencies are involved with the material found. The UW team finds the blood covering both victims is the freshman’s blood, but it is over 3 weeks old. How does the Madam fit in to all of this?

Several drug sales end up in shoot outs. Everyone dies. The heroin is spread completely through out the motel room. Hazmet is called to clean the room. The room is striped of everything to the bear walls, it is all bagged and sent to be burned. About $100,000 in $20 bills in the first motel. $200,000 in $50 bills are found in the second motel room. The drug detective says, “To much money for the drugs found.” The serial numbers on the $20 and $50 bills found at the scene are all brand new bills. But, Treasury reports they burned all those bills because they were worn out. When a new drug has traces in the burning, everyone wants more to test. The Inspector buys several truck loads to get a sample of the new drug. The Inspector is juggling six deaths, helping in finding a new drug manufacturer, and looking for a counterfeiter with money the US Treasury can’t identify as one they did not print.
