In a mix-up, Lightfoot returns to Winslow with the drug dealers satchel.Gille Barker is an artist from Maui, just released from Winslow prison after serving three years on a trumped-up charge. Picked up at the prison gate by Lightfoot, Gille is delivered to Winslow's La Posada Hotel where he has a reservation for his first night as a free man. It's only mildly surprising to Gille when he awakes in the middle of that first night to see Albert Einstein sitting in a lounge chair at the foot of his bed--after all, even as a child Gille hadn't found late night visits by alien beings intrusive.When the drug dealer and his hatchet man come to Winslow looking for Lightfoot, he approaches Gille Barker for help.

Lightfoot assures Gille it will only take minutes to recover the briefcase and return it to its rightful owner.
