"What, sir?" asked Tom.

"Professor Sykes! He was out here poking around in my fields and up in
the hills from dawn till dark. Said he was making some soil tests. I
yelled at him for stepping all over some baby fruit trees."

"That's it, then," said Roger grimly. "This area is jumping with
uranium and Vidac now has title to the land!"

"Don't be so sure," said Tom. "We still need proof."

"Isn't using force to take the land away proof enough?" snapped Logan.

"Wait a minute!" said Jeff. "If you want proof, I know where to get it."

"Where?" asked Tom.

"The professor's work journal!"

"Think he'd record it in there?" asked Tom. "It's pretty valuable
information."

"Yes," said Jeff. "He even logs the amount of coffee he drinks in the
morning! He puts down everything!"

"You think the journal is still in the lab?" asked Tom.

"Sure it is. I saw it before I left."

"Then we've got Vidac right where we want him!" exclaimed Roger.
