“Thank you for everyone’s attention,” he said in his consis- tently smooth manner. “The new Michigan boss is in, and you can conduct introductions later. Now let’s get to the business at hand.”

“This is Bruce Williams. Memorize his face. He will come to each of your locations and make specific modifications to our system. He will also give you a device, which give you the ability to destroy all evidence of your particular operation. Your system will consist of a CD-ROM that is to stay within the drive, so it can be destroyed in case a problem occurs. Cooperate with him as if he were me. Once he leaves, test your escape plans and then destroy them.
“Also in that folder are contingencies for equipment destruc- tion. If the worse case scenario occurs and you must destroy your operation, adhere to the timetable. Before you leave this room, I want each of you to read, understand, and memorize these plans. I want them implemented upon your return. Noth- ing leaves this room except in your mind. Questions?

In six months, this operation will cease to exist. All drugs left will be destroyed randomly, and we will only be a memory. Last point.
