# 46: Lost him
Director McCarthy sat at his desk and fumed. He viewed the file with disgust. He had another lead on the mysterious technology. Years ago a patient at Sam Snead had exhibited some VERY unusual capabilities.
McCarthy read through the file again then threw it at the wall. Bah...there was no mention of the patients name or what had become of him. Damn government ineptitude.
“Did you sanitize?” McCarthy asked needlessly. Of course they had. If they hadn’t heads would have rolled.
“Yes Sir.” his subordinate replied. “All of those who expressed any knowledge of anything odd about that patient were ‘taken out’”
“Killed you mean” McCarthy snorted. “No need for euphemisms. It’s just us here.”
“YesSir.“ The subordinate replied. “They were all killed.”
“How did you hide it from the press? Not that, that’s very hard. They are willfully ignorant. They’d rather talk about each other than actual events. What ruse did you use?” McCarthy asked.
“Their favorite one” the subordinate replied smugly. “A crazed shooter with an assault weapon.“
“Ah..very good.” McCarthy said. “No need to tell them any more than that. Their imaginations will work overtime. They’ll fill in all of the blanks.”
