Here is a story of a man named Frank, with a past, despite living a normal life in a town for seven years, five years with the same employer, recently promoted. The first time he was a courier of the company's money an auto accident occurred, his car was overturned, he was lucky to survive the crash but his troubles had only begun. Each of his so-called friends wants him locked up, charged with his crimes. The only person giving Frank an opportunity to explain his actions is Pastor Rock.
He went missing with the company's money, they contacted the Highway Patrol because he did not report when he was due accompanied with the money-bag he was carrying. The Highway Patrol contacted the statewide records administration on the missing individual turning up an alias and an outstanding warrant from a criminal charge elsewhere in the state. The missing person alert is cancelled and a search for the man went out because of the warrant outstanding along with the thirty-thousand-dollars he was carrying for his employer.
After his accident, each encounter Frank had with a stranger or someone he knew, his explanation was not accepted. He was determined to bring the money to his employer, explaining he was in an accident and leaving him on foot. A gas station owner tried to cause him bodily harm, his so-called friend from church pointed a shotgun at him intending to bring him in at gunpoint without accepting his ordeal. He defended himself in both cases and fled the scene, the second encounter he took the gun with him, likely as a caution of having it used against him. The Highway Patrol pursues Frank at an ever-increasing mode, particularly after it was known he was armed with the money.
Frank showed Dan Mathews he was honest, returning the money-bag to his employer despite being on foot since his accident and certainly without any help from anyone. His pastor had faith in him as evidenced by the path taken to bring himself back to his office, money in hand and willingly admitting he was ready to accept whatever the judge decided on his outstanding warrant. Chief Mathews adds at the conclusion, I would say you had some pretty good character witnesses, referring to the pastor, for one.
The lesson learned was Frank had good intentions to complete his courier duties, despite being on foot and up against people that would not listen to him. A well-told episode where Dan's instincts were by the book, and rightfully explained, but ever so often a surprise in human nature occurs and the right road is travelled.
