    About this ebook

    Rage had an adventure in buying a new vehicle. She stopped at many dealers and was under the car looking how to weld a box into the frame. One dealer thought she was smuggling drugs.
    Rage is out showing Jones her new Jeep when they stop a drunk driver. But the man at the wheel is a shooting victim. Jones goes back on the Strong’s team to help investigate the shooting.
    They are soon having wedding pictures taken and plans for the nuptials. Jones becomes concerned that Rage is enjoying the assignment too much. She is planning for a real wedding.
    Inspector Strong is working at the front desk of the hotel they are staying at. He talks to the shooting victim and then ‘The Secretary’ that was trying to plant an agent in the wedding business.
    Just how far will Rage have to go in this wedding and what of the Atomic company investigating alternative power. There could be billions involved in this case.

      Chapter 1 New Vehicle

      The car lots south of Seattle have their prices a little lower because of the higher taxes in Settle. Janette Rage is car shopping. She has always driven a truck since she was twelve years old. Before that it was the tractor starting at age ten. Her pickup truck came from Idaho where she has had it since high school. It was also an extra truck during harvest time. It has well over 100,000 miles but still in good running condition. Even the body is not too bad but with a few dents from running in the corner of a shed and tossing rocks into the bed before the watering was to start. Over the years the sun has faded the red paint and that was real Idaho sunshine and not Seattle sunshine which falls and is wet.

      Its one unique feature is what Janette wants to move or replace in her new vehicle. It serves a special need for her. Likely moving this one item from her truck to a new one might not be a practical idea.

      Janette is still leaning toward another truck, but it will hold only two people or three if they are very friendly. Or maybe a four-wheel drive is what she needs.

      She is dressed in her customary blue jeans, green short sleeved shirt, her red hair needs a trim for the curls are starting to show. She has tied it up with a green scarf. Right now, a comb would have a tough job to get through her hair. She has on her cow-girl boots from the farm. They are old but well-oiled and go up to her mid-calf. They have a pink lace matching design in both boots.

      She wheels into the first car lot and gets out. She is six feet one in her boots. As the salesman approaches the first thing he notices is her piercing green eye. Either up or down from these, all he sees is a real woman; no, a lady even the way she is dressed.

      Miss, may I help you? Were you looking for something specific?

      She smiles at him and what flashes through her mind as she looks at him is, ‘a large, hard as a rock, good looking seal’.

      Yes, I am unsure if I want another truck or maybe a car, it depends.

      The salesman has been trained to sell cars but this dream in front of him has diverted his attention away from selling a car."

      Janette smiles again, This is my first stop in what may be a long day.

      The salesman reverts, You may not make this your only stop, but you will return because of our selection, price and service.

      Janette thinks, ‘nice, pushy but not too much.’

      Show me your smallest truck to start with. A four-wheel drive might be nice.

      Janette looks at five different models of trucks. The salesman is a little taken back when she asks for an under the car scooter to look at the under carriage. He goes to service and brings one back.

      He says, Miss, let me put a clean towel on it for you.

      Thanks.

      She is under the three models, The half tons are not built strong enough. Let’s look at several more 3/4-ton units.

      She scoots under the two, They will do the job.

      She now turns her attention to the cars.

      The salesman says, "Miss from what you said about the smaller truck, I doubt any of these compact cars will suit you. Likely a midsized
