Description:
Whit and Connie are at Whit’s End when Officer Burke enters and tells Whit that he has to go to the station for questioning. He’s been accused of a hit and run. Later on, we learn that the records show Whit purchased a ’98 Tercel that was involved in an automobile accident the day before. Someone must have gotten hold of his information. While the police are working on the case Whit, Connie, and Mitch decide to investigate some on their own. They go to the car dealer to try and find out who it was that pretended to be Whit. They don’t find out much, but are able to see a blurry copy of the man’s driver’s license picture. There’s not much else they can do unless Whit’s credit card bills shows they’ve bought more than just a car. In the meantime, Mitch is deciding whether or not he will take the job with the FBI. Connie is concerned and a little discouraged about the situation. She and Mitch have both prayed about it, but she isn’t feeling that God’s giving them answers. Joanne tells Connie that God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we want him to, but that he is still guiding our steps. Whit receives a bill for a television that he never bought. Mitch notices it was purchased over the Internet and Bourland gives him permission to start working on the case. Every computer has an IP address that identifies the person and the computer. Mitch thinks that the hacker may have left their IP address behind on Whit’s computer. After processing the information, it shows that the hacker is Mitch himself! The person who did it must know both Mitch and Whit, and they plan to find out who it is. What they don’t know is that Mr. Charles, the man that Mitch and Whit put in jail, is coming back to get revenge. The story continues in part II...

Questions:
What crime was Whit accused of? What is Mitch’s dilemma? Connie is trusting that God will reveal the answers to Mitch and herself about him joining the FBI. When have you had to trust God in your life?
