About this ebook
Matthew Sorrows looked at Stone, and at the badge. It was definitely a very attractive proposition. He held the badge in the palm of his hand. It shone as it reflected sunlight from outside. Sorrows thought about it. Perhaps he would look good with a badge tacked on his person.

Perhaps the vultures were expecting some kind of death and destruction to happen. Once it did, they would be free to descend from the skies and come upon some easy meals, as they always did.
