A young blonde student aide carries a stack of books in her arms that are in need of shelving. She weaves her way through various shelves and tables towards the north end of the library. The library is rather quiet with most of the students on leave for the summer. Not expecting to see anyone at this time of night and in this rather isolated part of the library, the young woman is startled when she happens upon a man reading at one of the tables.
"Oh Mr. Brown I didn't not realize that you were here." Recovering from her surprise she remembers something. "Oh! There is a package for you behind the counter up front."

"Thank you, Clarice. I'll be along to fetch it shortly...."
JT folds up the maps of Lamar, the Astrological charts, and closes the Library's copy of The Key Of Solomon, gathers everything into his book bag, and heads for the front counter.

speculating what it might be, but the Professor told us not to fiddle with it."

JT asks as he looks for labels, looks over the packaging, and tries to assess any danger it might pose.

I have the next round of drinks riding on what might be in that box." The young man grins, "If it is anything other than a book than really don't mention it."
