The Freeze


Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  The man you're looking at is Raymond Barret, who is currently serving a five-year sentence in the state penitentiary.  We have just learned through his cellmate Max Davis that Barret is actually Albert Jenkins, who masterminded the Oakdale armored car robbery five years ago, double-crossed his associates, and hid the ten million dollar take.  By cleverly allowing himself to be caught and convicted as Raymond Barret of a burglary charge he did not commit, he hoped to wait out the statute of limitations on the robbery.  That statute expires in two days.  When Barret is released from prison in a few months, he will be able to collect the ten million dollars scot-free.  Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to bring Barret to justice and recover the money.  As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.  Good luck, Jim.
