Absolute Instinct
“— DR. ABRAHAM STROUD, ARCHAEOLOGIST The following day in Portland JESSICA was awakened by a pounding on her door, but it turned out to be the adjoining room's door—Darwin, shouting something unintelligible on the other side. While she threw on her terry-cloth robe, she worked out in her head what she was hearing. Darwin continued shouting, “We've gotten a terrific break in our case, Jess. On the tube, now!”
She tore open the door and he barged past her, searching for her remote. Finding it, h...e snapped on the television set.
“What is it?” she asked, following him into her room. “Darwin?”
“Watch! CNN, MSNBC, Fox, they all have the breaking story, and it's going to blow that fucking smug Governor Hughes outta his pants. They gotta give Robert a reprieve now. They won't have a choice.”
Jessica sat on the very edge of her bed facing the TV screen as it filled with images of a police raid, a box crate the size of a small pool table confiscated, shots of a man in handcuffs, his long hair and clothing looking like that of a rock star.MoreLess
