Seven weeks passed. There had been no sign of Supremus, and no sign if anything. Anglo-Force had written this case off. They had closed their file on Supremus.
During the Second World War Gruinard Island, a few miles off the coast of Scotland, had been used to test chemical weapons. For many years the soil and rocks had been infected with the anthrax virus. It had only been declared safe by the Department of the Environment in the past few years. It was then brought by a wealthy businessman, who intended to set up home on the island but he found the island not to his liking and later left. He did not try to sell the island because he knew that no one would ever want to buy it. Instead his accountant wrote it off as a tax loss. It had been deserted till six weeks ago. The power had been turned back on, and from the mainland you could see some sort of activity in the main building. Two weeks after this orders began to reach the mainland for some scientific equipment. Of course the inhabitants of the small village, being mostly fishermen, had no idea what this equipment was for. They just sent the orders on, and the equipment was delivered to the village a short time later. The fishermen in turn took the equipment to the island in their fishing boats. Their instructions were to leave the equipment a few hundred yards away from the main building. They did not question these orders, mainly because they were paid a pretty sum for this simple task. It was on this day that another large package was being delivered by two of the local fishermen. They pulled their boat onto the small beach and slowly lifted the box out of the boat and onto the land. It was about ten minutes later when they reached their usual place. They put the box down and soon found a large envelope nailed to a wooden post in the ground. One of them pulled the envelope off and opened it. He then pulled out a large wad of notes.
