Country Road

Isaac organized SLATE with his six buddies from college. The year after his best buddy graduated, he got them together and set up SLATE in each of their hometowns. They all embraced the goal of having sex with women of their choosing whenever they chose. The common element that spanned all encounters was their motto of, that there would be no witnesses at the end. "No Witness, no body, no crime," was their motto.

Driving her beloved black twelve cylinder convertible Jaguar slowly along the private road from the highway through the dense forest leading to the "Northern Illinois Apple Haven" she almost hits a woman screaming for help as four men pursue her.

The person in the lead of three that seemed to be chasing the woman and a man that was pursuing the woman, raises his gun and gets ready to fire when the gun in his hand seems to fly into the air and he falls screaming that he has lost a finger. The person immediately behind him raises his gun but seems to stop midway and drop it, as he kneels and puts his hand on his chest were a large red spot blossoms around a small hole. The third person raises his hands and obeys Alex's command to a lay down.

Vacation transitions into one of the most challenging cases that Alex has ever undertaken. She would be a Black detective interacting with an almost totally white police force across the Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Washington States.

Her team leaves a trail of dead and wounded as they roundup and arrest the SLATE leaders.

It is his last mistake.
