AHS Student Part Of
FBI's Relocation
Program
BY ADRIENNE SOYER
Along with his numerous accounts of solving
, the most inconspicuous mysteries, Mr. Taylor
can add one more case to his clipboard list
According to top-secret information, a student at
AHS is part of the FBI s relocation program.
Because we cannot reveal the student’s name,
we will call him John Doe. Two years ago, John
gave federal evidence to a Supreme Court on
three men who were invloved in a major drug
transaction. These three men were also arrested
for manslaughter, a new charge that came up
after John’s testimony. After numerous threats
on his Ufe, John was moved to Albemarle and
given a new name. He was also given a sUghtly
different appearance with a new hair style and
color, as well as tinted contacts to change his eye
color.
Hopefully, his identity will remam a secret
because the drug dealers he testifi^ gainst are
known to use terroist meto If tfiese drug
kingpins find out he is at AHS, the entoe student
