Robbie was in his office organizing some notes after a webinar / conference call with other Chief Superintendents in the region. Suddenly there was a crisp knock on the door. It was Hathaway asking if he could speak with him.

Robbie told him to come on in and have a seat.

Hathaway complied, and placed a bag with something in it on his desk.

Hathaway then removed the object from the bag and placed that immediately in front of Robbie, on top of Robbie's desk.

"It's a skull, Sir." Hathaway noted to Robbie.

"That it is . You must have done well in biology class." Robbie noted.

"Sir, the skull. Did you leave it for me, in my desk?"

Robbie told him "No. But it is a clever device. Different from most skulls I've seen."

"Touch it, Sir. Pick it up with both hands." Hathaway told Robbie.

Robbie complied and the skull's eyes stated to light up and change colors and it started to say something.

Robbie asked Hathaway "What's it saying? Sounds like something from one of Morse's operas."

"No, it's a morality lesson in Latin about how we should be nice to one another. If you did not leave this present for me, Sir, who did?"

Robbie answered James honestly "I don't know, but they surely are clever."

While James was in with Robbie, Lizzie was texting Laura about the most "amazing thing that James just shown" her.

Laura asked Lizzie to give her more of the story. Lizzie continued "James opened his desk drawer and stood up releasing several expletives. Then he lifted this talking skull with lit up eyes, that changed color. And it had these long eye lashes on it. I don't know what it was saying, but it seemed to get his attention. Kind of like that scene from Hamlet, with the skull, except the skull was doing the talking."

Laura wished she could have been there to see it all, but Lizzie's description would do.

Laura asked Lizzie, via text, "Where is James now?'

Lizzie responded, "He's in with the Chief Super, he thinks he had something to do with it."
