Chapter Three

  The morning of January 14th

  The Investigation Moves On

  It was very early in the morning when the RigorsClaytons carried a small crate down the stairs that ran down to ship`s hold near to where Alice Tarraway had her office, they stopped before a door at the bottom of the stairs, through the door was the ship`s hold. Johor went through the door first and clambered up a wall of crates and then waited while Mariah handed the crate up to him, inside the crate was the stolen equipment from the Chichester Laboratories. Johor got out his flash lamp and slowly walked across the mass of large crates and boxes until he found a spot that would be hidden from a superficial search, the label on the crate said that it belonged to one Joseph Hardin. He being a miner, the Claytons figured if they could not get hold of the crate when the Constellation landed on Persephone then they would just have to collect it later, when the Hardin family was far away from the other colonists looking for the elusive Dylithium crystals.
