Mary: Complying

October 31, 2008: We stopped off at an Office Depot just outside of Weatherford, Texas and bought a shredder, then checked into a Motel and spent the next hour or so destroying the Human Calicivirus formula.

We were going to do it anyway, we just hadn't had the opportunity as we were running for our freedom. Believe me, Josh and I were as anxious to destroy that formula as you were. We couldn't get it in under the wire for today's mail, so we'll send it first thing in the morning, Agent Pierce. Please don't take Mrs. Howland and Jeff into custody, we are complying fully.

Pierce: Cease And Desist

Joshua Howland and Mary Stroud, you have one chance and one chance only. Proceed immediately to an office supply store and purchase a large shredding machine. Shred every single page in Doctor Yoshida's file box and ship the destroyed remains to Cynthia's house care of Agent Pierce. There will be no negotiations or bargaining.

Cynthia may be under the impression that her life cannot get any worse, but as I think we all know, she's mistaken. Life in a mansion and life in a penitentiary serving time as an accessory could not be more different, even in her condition.

Do the right thing and do it now. You will be found and you will be caught, and in the meantime Cynthia and even Jeff will be put under arrest if I don't get those shredded files by tomorrow morning.
