June 23, 1986. A quiet night in Poolesville, Maryland, forty minutes outside Washington, D.C. The opossums and raccoons and foxes still living wild there crept through what was left of the hedgerows surrounding the Primate Center Complex. Under the lights of the loading bay at Building 11, a few men worked stealthily, loading monkeys into an air-conditioned truck. Two security guards, a veterinarian, and two administrators stood at the back of the truck watching anxiously as four caretakers and the driver helped load each cage and secure it in place.
