April 2068. It took Scott Fuller a full five minutes to recover from the shock. A relative of the infamous Dr. Carlos Maiz, the man charged with committing murder on the largest scale in the history of mankind, had hunted him down wanting to talk. He exhaled a deep breath before returning the call.
He explained that Dr. Maiz was hitting the depths of despair at the time they'd met, plus their contact had been brief. Very brief. A total of no more than fifteen minutes at most. Not to mention the fifty-six years that had passed since. However, he assured her, he never for one minute believe Dr. Maiz was guilty of what he'd been accused - to the contrary - he thought the man had done everything in his power to help humanity rather than harm it, but other than that, there was not much he could say.
