Scripture: Proverbs 29:25
Genre Blackgaard saga
[edit] Summary
Connie and Whit go to Chicago for a board meeting, but when Whit's computer is switched with a stolen computer, they fall into a web of intrigue!
[edit] Plot
Blackgaard arranges a meeting place with Whit, under a clock tower, to swap Connie for the computer.
Whit coordinates with Agent Phillips, who insists that his squad be there to capture the doctor. So, under the clock tower, Whit waits. The agents watch him closely through their surveillance equipment. Suddenly, Whit disappears! Whit has been grabbed by Richard Maxwell, Blackgaard’s former assistant. Maxwell insists that he's out to get revenge against Blackgaard. Maxwell claims he's there to help Whit, but Whit is unsure of what to believe. Since Maxwell also claims to know where Blackgaard is holding Connie, Whit decides to trust him and go along.
Our story comes to a climax in a warehouse owned by Blackgaard. But there are a few more twists left in the story. Richard Maxwell forces Blackgaard to his knees, Whit intercedes, and there's at least one character who isn't who he pretends to be. Along the way, we learn important lessons about the folly of revenge, deception, and greed. And Blackgaard, who never seems to learn anything from his experiences, vows that he will have his own revenge against John Avery Whittaker.

[edit] Notes
[edit] Trivia
- For writer Paul McCusker, the inspiration for this show came from an actual news item in England! Apparently, someone in the British military stopped for a short time to use the bathroom, leaving his laptop computer containing all kinds of military secrets on his front seat. When he returned, someone had stolen it! Paul shifted the idea into Whit getting involved in a luggage mix-up.
- These episodes were made into an AIO Activity Pack, Waylaid in the Windy City, Volume #4.

[edit] Quotes
- Whit:Don't you understand that when you go out for revenge you have to dig two graves? One for the person you're after and one for yourself! Richard, there's no such thing as revenge, not really. It never replaces what you lost. It never restores. It doesn't even satisfy. You're out of the detention center now. You've got you're whole life ahead of you! Now please, give me the gun!
