The Calloways moved to a federal safe house in Knoxville that morning—two agents on rotation, location undisclosed, registry under a case number. Dellray drove back to Asheville in the mountain dawn with the evidence case on the passenger seat. He thought about the 58 pages he had assembled in 1994.
