In this segment of J.D. Packer's Journey Into Life he is alone again, but continues what he has known for several years as a steady reasonable income-producing consulting career. He has landed a somewhat intriguing and different consulting contract that was going to require some serious research in an attempt to find a man that is on the run from a company from which he took some vital data. J.D. didn't like the details of research himself much and thought this would be a good time to find someone that did like that type work to joint-venture with him on this project. After thinking it over for some time he remembered years before when Liz Young worked with him on the Algerian Project, and what a great job she had done in searching out the details of the work and eventually contributing heavily to the success of the project. After considering this option, J.D. was prompted to call Liz to invite her to join with him on the project. They meet in Phoenix where the joint venture takes them to an old mining town in Eastern Arizona. With more research and investigation they follow the tracks left by this man finally ending in New Mexico. Along the way J.D. and Liz renew their old friendship and intimacy they had known years before.
