    About this ebook

    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.”

      Chapter 1 The Start

      Rage asks Jones over a huge T-bone after their Saturday morning shooting date, I need some fresh clams. Let’s go out to the coast Wednesday afternoon, I will buy a clam shovel for you to use.

      Rage and Jones have a standing shooting date every Saturday at 5:00 am. The manager of the shooting range let them shoot outside the stalls the first time they came. Jones was in his patrolman’s uniform and Rage had her pearl handled, silver Colt 45 on her right hip and the badge on her left.

      After seeing them shoot, he gives them the early time and he locks the gates to keep everyone else out. The word gets around and a few people do show up to watch from outside the fence as they blow target after target apart. Rage is starting to use the left hand just as effectively as her right.

      The rookie Homicide Detective Janette Rage has been on the force for almost seven years. She is bright, aggressive, and dedicated to the job. She takes a fair amount of ribbing about her last name and the color of her hair. It usually goes on until they see her empty a clip of sixteen rounds at thirty yards into a 2-inch circle. If that is not enough, she will crack a few ribs, and she will do it again in the gym.

      Two years earlier, she had completed the Detective training course at the academy. She finished in second place, the other woman there finished 12th out of the fifteen total candidates. In such a large metropolitan police force, her new duty assignment could have been one of many. She did not know until Monday after
