Shrinkage

Junior Agent, Nash Running Bear, FBI

Money into thin air is still money.

Junior Agent Nash Running Bear may be a baller on the baseball mound, but the stir on Capitol Hill over her actions on the field means she needs to be taken down a notch. The deputy director has no choice but to send her out to the fuzzy belly button of the mid-west. A bank has been suffering massive cash shrinkage from its vault, and nobody can figure it out. The FBI thinks they have sent her on a fool’s errand and can forget about her and the senior agent until the brouhaha blows over. But then, it’s not the first time the government has underestimated the problem-solving nature of the woman from the wrong side of the reservation.
