Chapter 6: Vikki There was a thick brown envelope on the doormat when Mike got up the next morning. It was raining so heavily outside that even the marathon runner himself had decided against it and stayed in bed, and Mike was quietly grateful for it as he picked up the wad of paper and saw the familiar logo.
