Who Bought the Bullets
Jeffry Weiss
- A
- professor
- of
- Constitutional
- Law
- at
- Georgetown
- University,
- Patrick
- Henry,
- enlists
- ten
- of
- his
- students
- in
- a
- project
- to
- solve
- a
- fifty-seven
- year-old
- crime:
- who
- killed
- John
- F.
- Kennedy.In
- order
- to
- solve
- the
- mystery,
- they
- must
- break
- into
- the
- National
- Archives
- Building
- and
- steal
- the
- remaining
- files
- on
- the
- assassination.The
- U.S.
- Senate
- Oversight
- Committee
- has
- called
- for
- the
- last
- of
- the
- files
- on
- the
- Kennedy
- assassination.
- The
- CIA
- must
- get
- those
- files
- before
- they
- fall
- into
- the
- hands
- of
- the
- Senate.
- If
- they
- can't,
- then
- the
- crimes
- committed
- by
- the
- agency,
- both
- before,
- during
- and
- after
- the
- assassination,
- will
- come
- to
- light.
- Lives
- will
- be
- ruined
- beyond
- repair.
- People
- will
- go
- to
- prison,
- jobs
- and
- careers
- up
- in
- smoke.
- And
- so
- the
- CIA's
- motivation
- in
- getting
- those
- files
- could
- not
- be
- any
- higher.Patrick
- and
- his
- students
- are
- being
- sought
- by
- the
- people
- they
- robbed
- of
- a
- half
- million
- dollars.
- That
- money
- needed
- to
- pay
- for
- the
- tunnel
- diggers
- to
- get
- into
- the
- National
- Archives
- Building.
- What
- they
- thought
- to
- be
- a
- low
- risk
- crime
- turned
- out
- to
- be
- a
- business
- owned
- by
- the
- local
- Mafia.With
- the
- help
- of
- four
- Mexicans
- -
- who
- had
- dug
- hundred-foot
- long
- tunnels
- under
- the
- U.S.
- /
- Mexican
- border
- -
- Patrick
- and
- his
- team
- of
- students
- dig
- their
- way
- into
- the
- National
- Archives
- and
- come
- away
- with
- the
- files,
- only
- minutes
- before
- the
- CIA
- enters
- the
- building.Yet
- things
- quickly
- degrade
- from
- theft
- to
- murder.
- Patrick
- is
- forced
- to
- kill
- to
- protect
- their
- identity
- and
- their
- plan,
- then
- continue
- murdering
- in
- order
- to
- remain
- free.This
- while
- Washington
- Star
- Daily
- reporters
- Colin
- North
- and
- Annie
- Adelson
- with
- the
- Washington
- Daily
- News,
- are
- investigating
- a
- series
- of
- recent
- murders
- which
- seems
- to
- filter
- back
- to
- a
- small
- group
- of
- men
- inside
- the
- CIA,
- led
- by
- Deputy
- Director
- Sam
- Michelson.
- With
- the
- help
- of
- police
- Inspector,
- Sean
- Cassidy,
- and
- rogue
- FBI
- agent,
- Kevin
- McDonald,
- Colin
- and
- Annie
- close
- in
- on
- the
- group
- who
- in
- turn
- closes
- in
- on
- him.One
- man,
- Colin
- North,
- rises
- to
- the
- challenge:
- protect
- the
- Constitution
- and
- the
- rule
- of
- law,
- even
- if
- it
- means
- risking
- his
- life.
- The
- other,
- Professor
- Patrick
- Henry,
- degrades
- from
- a
- man
- who
- teaches
- the
- law
- to
- breaking
- the
- law
- and
- rationalizing
- acts
- of
- murder.The
- small
- group
- inside
- the
- CIA
- now
- knows
- of
- Colin
- North's
- intention
- to
- reveal
- all
- the
- CIA
- secrets
- -
- extra-judicial
- killings,
- coups
- d'
- etad,
- regime
- change
- and
- torture
- -
- in
- a
- special
- edition
- of
- the
- Washington
- Daily
- News.
- If
- that
- happens,
- Sam
- Michelson
- and
- his
- aides
- will
- be
- tried
- for
- treason
- and
- a
- list
- of
- crimes
- too
- long
- to
- enumerate.Patrick
- and
- his
- students
- sift
- through
- the
- stolen
- material
- and,
- with
- help
- from
- a
- man
- who
- was
- in
- Dealey
- Plaza
- on
- November
- 22nd,
- 1963,
- finally
- learn
- who
- killed
- Kennedy.
- But
- will
- they
- be
- able
- to
- turn
- the
- files
- over
- to
- the
- newspapers
- before
- they
- are
- found.The
- mystery
- solved,
- Patrick
- goes
- to
- the
- Washington
- Daily
- News
- to
- present
- the
- evidence.
- However,
- one
- block
- from
- those
- offices,
- Patrick
- is
- shot
- and
- killed.
- A
- man
- following
- Patrick,
- with
- the
- hands
- of
- a
- magician,
- picks
- up
- the
- files
- without
- missing
- a
- beat
- and
- leaves
- a
- handgun
- and
- a
- note
- making
- it
- clear
- that
- Patrick
- was
- despondent
- and
- committed
- suicide.
- The
- secret
- is
- safe
- once again.
