A
They
lived
in
Greece
Turkey,
the
Middle
East
England,
Spain,
Germany
Italy,
all
over
the
place,
all
over
the
United
States
Latin
America,
and
all
of
that
was
done
intentionally
with
one
goal
and
that's
when
I
was
about
14
years
old,
I
decided
I,
wanted
to
be
an
author
and
then,
when
I
grew
up
and
got
a
real
job.
I
realized
that
most
authors,
as
in
like
98%
of
us,
can't
make
a
living,
but
I
still
wanted
to
write
books.
A
A
Does
anybody
know
what
Star
basis
star
base
is
a
program
through
the
Department
of
Defense
for
fifth
and
sixth
graders
who
try
to
get
them
motivated
in
the
stem
stem?
Is
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math
right
so
I
talked
about
writing
and
everything
and
I
find
out
that
the
the
middle
schoolers
are
sort
of
the
greatest
generation
for
me
to
reach,
because
they're
just
starting
to
read,
they're,
just
starting
to
get
involved
in
things
and
they're
just
discovering
what
books
can
do
for
you.
So
lesson
number
one.
A
If
you
do
nothing
else
in
your
lives
before
you
graduate
from
high
school
learn
to
read
well
reading
is
absolutely
the
thing
that
will
save
your
life
save
money
they
kept
in
my
life
twice.
It
is
education
right.
It
is
anything
you
want
to
learn.
You
can
learn
on
your
own
from
reading.
It
is
free.
You
don't
need
money,
you
don't
need
to
come
from
a
wealthy
side
of
town.
A
It
is
culture
you
can
learn
about
any
culture
in
the
world
simply
by
reading
and
I
will
guarantee
you
and
I
think
any
one
of
the
the
instructors
the
teachers
in
this
room
will
back
me
up.
People
that
read
well
are
far
more
successful
than
those
that
don't
categorically
across
the
board.
That's
just
the
way
it
is
I
started
writing
into
something.
I
said
in
my
leaving.
A
Yeah,
the
slides
are
very
light.
You're
not
gonna,
be
able
to
see
them.
Oh
you're,
the
one
that
threw
me
out.
You
know
your
check
hasn't
cleared.
I
could
leave
I
started
writing
in
the
fifth
grade
after
two
mysteries
has
anybody
ever
read
these
two
books,
they're
out
of
print
but
I,
know
they're
in
the
library's,
probably
two,
the
greatest
murder,
mysteries
for
kids
ever
written
mystery,
witch's
bridge
and
mystery
of
the
Haunted
mine,
I
learned
to
read
and
write
based
on
those
books
and
then
a
fella
by
the
name
of
James
Grady.
A
When
I
was
14,
wrote
a
book
called
six
days
of
the
Condor.
They
made
it
into
a
movie
called
three
days
of
the
Condor,
the
movie
sucked
with
Robert
Redford
and
Faye
Dunaway,
but
sort
of
a
vignette
here.
James
Grady
was
my
hero.
When
I
was
14,
he
was
24
or
25
years
old.
At
the
time.
His
first
book
made
him
a
bazillionaire.
He
ended
up
working
for
Washington
Cindy.
A
Hunt
down
who
did
it
and
he's
an
amateur
because
all
he
does
for
a
living
is
what
he
reads:
books,
that's
what
he
does
for
a
living.
That's
99%
of
what
intelligence
does
is
read
so
I
blogged
about
James
about
how
motivation
all
my
motivation
I
got
from
him
and
what
a
great
writer
he
was
and
how
I
followed
his
career.
Well,
one
day,
I
get
an
email
and
it
says:
hey:
TJ
I
read
this
blog.
This
is
really
cool.
A
I've,
never
been
anybody's,
Idol,
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
good
luck,
James
Grady
and
I'm
like
yeah
right,
James,
Grady,
wrote
me
a
letter
right,
so
I
write
back
snarky
and
sarcastic
I
know
that's
surprising
for
anybody.
That
knows
me
and
said:
yeah
right,
you're,
James,
Grady
and
I'm
Agatha
Christie,
who
the
hell
really
is
this
and
he
writes
Maggie,
says:
if
you
are
the
guy
I
think
you
are
you'll,
find
me
so
I
hunted
down
his
email
to
address
and
went
through
two
different
levels
of
security
and
sure
enough.
A
It
was
James,
Grady
and
I
felt
really
stupid,
which
is
very
common
for
me.
But
later
on,
when
I
finished,
the
consultant
James
contacted
me
again
and
gave
me
a
blurb
from
my
book.
So
for
me,
how
cool
was
it
that
my
idol
from
the
fifth
grade
gave
me
a
blurb
for
the
front
page
of
my
books?
It
was
unbelievable
and
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that.
A
A
But
for
me,
I
decided
when,
when
I
was
graduating
high
school
I
needed
to
write
about
something
I
knew
about.
Everybody
says
write
what
you
know
right.
Well,
that's
that's
really
it's
kind
of
true
and
it's
also
a
lot
of
crap,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
murder,
mystery
writers
and
they've
never
killed
anybody.
I've
never
killed
anybody
that
I'll
admit
in
public
if
I'm
wearing
a
microphone.
A
Here's
all
the
places
I
lived
as
an
agent
travel,
they
did
all
kinds
of
cool
things
chased
a
lot
of
bad
guys
that
was
almost
killed
in
Athens
Greece
I,
was
targeted
by
a
terrorist
group,
was
on
three
airplanes
that
almost
crashed
almost
drowned.
Scuba,
diving
and
those
were
the
mine.
Those
were
my
fun
things
that
I
did.
A
A
But
all
this
stuff
brought
me
to
the
conclusion
that
I
was
going
to
take
all
the
things
that
I
learned
and
write
murder
mysteries.
So
you
know
part
of
this.
This
gig
here
today
is
what's
a
mystery
all
about
right,
so
I
promised
mr.
vet
Nick.
That
I
would
give
a
little
lesson
just
to
kind
of
earn.
My
thousand
dollars
that
she
promised
me
for
being
here.
So
what's
the
difference
between
a
thriller
in
a
murder,
mystery
anybody
know.
A
Yeah
one's
a
whodunit
and
the
other
one's
a
how
is
done
and
how
you
get
to
the
end
there
very
distinctly
different,
but
most
thrillers
all
have
a
mystery
involved
in
it
in
the
consultant.
My
actually
my
fifth
thriller.
My
first
published
it's
about
an
operative
who
returns
home
from
the
Middle
East
to
make
amends
with
his
estranged
brother.
A
A
A
Exactly
right,
who
said
that
yeah
sure
you
did
yeah
a
writer
is
anybody
that
can
write
everyone?
Everybody
in
here
can
be
a
writer
if
you
write
something
like
a
short
story,
but
an
author
is
somebody
with
representation
who's
published
these
days.
It's
a
little
different.
It
is
so
many
different
ways
to
be
public.
You
can
be
self-published
and
I
know
people
that
print
their
own
books
in
their
basement
and
sell
them
on
the
street.
A
There
are
micro
publishers,
I
have
a
friend
of
mine
who
runs
a
small
publishing
shop,
publishes
about
six
or
eight
books
a
year
in
a
small
press.
There
are
indeed
publishers.
One
of
my
books
was
published
with
an
indie
publisher,
which
means
it's
not
one
of
the
top
five,
but
it's
a
pretty
good
press
and
then
there's
traditional
publishing,
which
means
you
have
a
literary
agent
you're
traditionally
published.
You
don't
make
any
money.
Everybody
takes
your
stuff,
takes
your
money
and
then
tells
you
great
job.
That's
me.
A
At
the
end
of
the
day,
getting
a
book
published
is
not
for
the
faint
of
heart.
Anybody
in
here
thinking
about
being
a
writer
one
person,
come
on
two
people:
five
people,
ten
people.
Okay,
let
me
warn
you
something:
you're
not
gonna
get
rich.
Despite
what
they
tell
you,
it's
nothing
but
work
writing
the
book
and
going
the
end
is
the
easiest
part
of
being
an
author.
Absolutely
the
easiest
part
I
can
crank
out
a
book
in
about
four
months.
A
Then
the
real
work
starts,
the
editing,
the
blogging,
the
dealing
with
your
agent,
the
publishing
the
traveling
four
thousand
dollars
that
I'm
being
paid
to
be
here
today,
it's
going
everywhere
and
talking
to
anybody
that
will
talk
to
me
about
books
and
maybe
selling
a
couple
books.
That's
what
being
an
author
is?
So
if
you
don't
absolutely
love
it,
you're
not
gonna,
do
well
in
it.
You're
gonna
hate
it.
A
Okay,
that's
my
that's
my
educational
side
of
it.
Now
how
did
I
get
where
I'm
at
when
I
was
a
rookie
agent
back
in
1983
in
1985,
in
Ohio
I
got
called
out
to
to
a
body.
I
got
a
call
from
this
Colonel
at
this
Air
Force
Base
says
we
have
a
dead
guy
and
I
was
thrilled.
I
know
that
makes
me
a
little
weird,
but
I
was
like
cool.
My
first
homicide
holy
crap,
My
partner
and
I
grab
our
guns.
We
jump
in
our
car.
A
A
So
here's
this
bony
finger
sticking
out
of
the
dirt,
like
the
opening
of
creature,
of
the
Black,
Lagoon
and
I
kind
of
look
in
and
I
go.
What
the
hell
I
thought.
I
thought
thought
we
had
a
dead
guy
and
this
general
walks
over
and
taps
me
on
the
shoulder
and
says
by
definition,
I'm
pretty
sure,
he's
dead.
A
So
we
excavate
the
body.
We
run
a
crime
scene
because
back
in
1943,
this
was
where
military
barracks
used
to
be,
and
this
barracks
that
was
over.
This
site
happened
to
be
a
barracks
for
Black
American
fliers
and
the
first
thing
that
went
through
my
crazy
mind
was
holy
crap.
There
was
a
murder
in
1942
and
we
don't
know
it
because
back
in
those
dark
days
that
did
happen
so
we
went
through
and
we
excavated
it.
We
pulled
out
all
these
bones
and
everything
and
we're
like
well,
we
don't
have
any
CSI.
A
We
have
no
medical
examiner's.
What
are
we
going
to
do
is
this:
how
are
we
going
to
figure
out
how
this
guy
was
killed?
So
genius
I
decide
to
take
the
bones
down
to
Ohio
State
University
to
the
forensic
lab
they're,
a
school
of
archaeology
and
I,
walk
in
and
given
to
this,
professor
guy
I,
know
and
I
said
help.
So
they
said,
I
come
back
in
a
couple
hours,
we're
gonna
run
some
tests,
so
I
come
back
in
a
couple
hours
and
he
hands
me
this
big
stack
of
papers,
I
said
where's,
my
bones.
A
He
said
why
we're
keeping
them.
Why
are
you
keeping
my
bones?
He
said
that,
in
your
hand,
is
a
federal
writ.
We
have
seized
this
site.
This
is
the
greatest
archaeological
find
we've
ever
made
in
Ohio.
It's
a
mound
builder
site
from
3,800
years
ago,
so
I'm
thinking
that's
going
to
be
a
hard
case
to
solve.
There's
what
you
guys
are
dead
today
come
on.
This
is
my
best
stuff.
A
So
that
creates
a
real
problem
for
me,
because
this
is
where
the
general
wants
to
build
his
new
officer's
club
and
it's
been
seized
by
the
federal
courts
because
there's
a
dead
body
in
it
from
you
know,
1200
BC
or
some
stuff,
I,
don't
know.
So
that's
kind
of
a
problem,
so
my
very
first
homicide
case
ends
up
being
an
archeological
find,
except
a
year
later,
they
figured
out,
know
gee.
They
were
wrong,
they
had
their
settings
on
there,
whatever
automata.
That
said
how
old
the
bones
were,
and
they
weren't
in
instead.
A
It
was
all
McDonald,
some
guy
died
about
nine
eighteen,
sixty
something
his
wife
probably
knocked
him
off,
bury
him
in
the
backyard,
never
recorded
the
death
and
he's
been
dead
there
forever
and
nobody
knew
it,
and
then
they
wanted
me
to
come
back
and
still
run
a
homicide.
Investigation,
I
said
Nana
we're
done,
but
I
started
getting
an
idea
about
how
cool
it'd
be
to
write
a
book
about
the
discovery
of
remains
like
that.
That
caused
a
huge
problem
for
me
and
almost
got
me
fired.
A
You
know
when
a
two-star
general
calls
Washington,
DC
and
says
this
guy
is
stopping
my
officer's
club
from
being
built,
that's
kind
of
an
uncomfortable
thing,
but
it
gave
me
the
first
part
of
my
first
novel.
The
second
part
comes
from
my
second
homicide
case
now.
I
think
you
already
know:
I
have
a
warped
sense
of
humor,
because
I
think
homicides
are
funny
so
I'm
up
in
Ohio.
We
get
this
case
in
Lorain
Ohio,
where
a
man
has
been
murdered.
A
Premeditated
murder
and
I
go
up
to
investigate
the
case
and
I
find
out
that
the
local
cops
have
dropped
the
ball.
They
hadn't
photographed
the
body
they
haven't
processed,
any
fingerprints,
etc.
So
I
just
thought
I'm
gonna
do
it
so
I
go
to
the
mortuary
and
back
in
those
days,
once
again,
there
weren't
electronic
scanners.
There
wasn't
anything
on
your
cell
phone,
you
could
take
fingerprints
with
and
all
that
jazz.
A
So
we
had
this
gadget
that
you
put
you
put
ink
on
the
on
the
on
the
the
corpses
hand,
and
then
you
had
this
little
gadget
that
you
took
and
you
put
it
over
the
finger
and
you
actually
rolled
around
the
thing
it's
kind
of
complicated,
but
if
an
idiot
like
me
can
do
it,
anybody
can
so
I'm
standing
next
to
this
body.
It's
hotter
than
blazes
in
this
place
so
I
take
my
coat
off
I'm
working
on
this
body
and
and
I
can't
get
it
right.
A
So
I
lift
I,
lift
the
corpses
hand
up
like
this,
because
the
tendons
and
ligaments
make
the
fingers
open.
I,
say:
hey,
that's
cool,
so
I
got
it
there
and
I'm
working
around
I,
getting
ready
to
fingerprinting
all
of
a
sudden
cadaver
expose
him
his
hand,
slaps
down
grabs.
My
wrist
I
pulled
my
gun
and
almost
shot
a
corpse.
A
A
A
But
then
life
took
over
so
I
had
to
start
traveling
I
left
Ohio,
went
into
terrorism,
training
and
then
started
going
all
over
the
world
running
terrorism
operations.
I
was
involved
in
well,
I
gotta,
be
careful,
I,
don't
talk
too
much
about
that.
I
was
involved
in
helping
identify
and
capture
a
couple
terrorists.
The
investigation
of
TWA
flight
840
won
the
the
city
of
Poros
attack.
All
a
bunch
of
stuff
I
was
targeted
in
Greece
by
the
terrorist
group.
A
17
November
bombing
of
several
bars
attack
on
hula
Beach,
the
capture
of
Mohammed
Rashid,
a
whole
bunch
of
cool
stuff,
and
in
that
time
I
wrote.
My
second
novel
wrote
my
first
one
right
out
of
high
school
and
it
was
so
bad
I,
don't
even
like
to
bring
it
up.
Well,
my
second
book
when
I
was
in
Athens-
and
that
was
just
as
where
I'm
not
as
bad
almost
as
bad.
It
was
pretty
bad,
but
I
said
wow
I've
written
two
books.
This
is
cool
I'm,
not
even
29
years
old.
A
Yet
I
can
do
this
got
home,
ended
up
to
the
headquarters
of
OSI
and
I
got
involved
in
the
first
Gulf
War
I
ran
counterintelligence
operations
over
there
and
all
kinds
of
cool
stuff
and
I
decided
that
it
was
time
to
leave
so
I
odd,
as
it
is.
After
that
lifestyle,
holy
cow
I
got
a
divorce.
What
a
shock
and
I
went
into
the
private
sector
and
I
ran,
kidnap
and
ransom
operations.
A
Investigations
threat
analysis
and
do
all
kinds
of
stuff
like
that
which
is
kind
of
what
I
do
today
and
I
stayed
on
the
any
terrorism
world.
But
at
this
point,
I
got
started,
get
real
serious
about
writing.
You
know
it
kept
coming
back
to
me
that
I
was
getting
old.
I
was
like
34,
and
it
was
time
to
get
serious
about
writing
so,
as
an
independent
consultant,
I
started
working
on
what
ended
up
being.
A
My
third
fourth
look,
one
of
which
I
attempted
to
publish
and
it
was
about
terrorism
in
the
United,
States
and
I,
sent
it
off
and
I
got
this
really
cool
letter
from
this
publisher
in
Manhattan,
and
she
wrote
me
back,
which
is
very
rare.
When
you
write
a
query
letter
for
from
a
publisher
to
write
you
back
most
of
the
time
they
just
ignore
you
forever
and
the
letter
said
dear
TJ,
you
should
write
about
something
you
know
and
I'm
like
I
get
I
wrote
about
terrorism,
so
I
did
something
really
stupid.
A
I
picked
up
the
phone
and
I
called
this
agent,
which
really
is
taboo.
You
never
do
that,
and
I
told
her
who
I
was
and
I
said.
What
did
you
mean?
I
should
write
something
about
what
I
know.
This
is
what
I
do
for
a
living
and
she
goes
yeah,
but
it's
not
realistic,
I'm
like
yeah.
It
really
is
just
well,
but
it's
not
it's
not
really
sexy,
there's
not
a
lot
of
violence.
There's
only
a
couple
people
get
killed,
nobody's
gonna,
read
this
I
said.
So
what
you
don't
mean
is
don't
write
about.
A
A
This
book
is
based
on
those
experiences
with
the
body
that
grabbed
me
that
bones
I,
discovered
and
all
kinds
of
stuff,
but
one
thing
I
can
attest
you
the
lead
character
and
his
story
is
a
dead
detective
he's
killed
in
the
opening
of
the
book
and
I
did
that
intentionally
because
I
wanted
to
bring
in
three
elements
in
every
book.
I
wanted
to
have
a
traditional
murder
mystery
like
an
Agatha,
Christie
style.
I
wanted
a
historical
subplot
and
I
wanted
them
all
to
connect
about
the
lead
character.
That
made
something
really
interesting.
A
A
Monk
is
a
guy
who's,
afraid
of
everything
and
I
got
the
Kristy's
plotter.
Oh
he's
a
little
weird
right.
He's
a
dandy
he's
he's
a
little
out
there,
so
my
character
is
dead,
but
I
could
attest
to
well.
This
character
is
very
much
like
me:
I
have
never
been
dead,
so
I
had
a
kind
of
lie
back
so
in
the
first
book
tuck
is
killed.
A
He
comes
back
to
find
his
murderer
and
he
sort
of
has
to
reconnect
with
his
wife
and
his
partner
and
other
people,
and
that
is
sort
of
the
personal
element
of
the
story.
It's
how
this
character
comes
back
and
learns
to
be
an
active
member
in
this
investigation
in
the
second
book
and
the
historical
subplot
of
that
is
the
discovery
of
bones
on
a
major
construction
project.
Around
Winchester
Virginia
dying
for
the
past
is
the
second
book
in
this
series.
A
This
one
takes
place
where
a
wealthy,
very
wealthy
philanthropist
is
killed,
tucks
involved
in
the
murder,
but
the
historical
subplot
is
1942
when
intelligence
organizations
were
working
with
the
Mafia
anybody
ever
heard
of
that
before
anybody
from
the
history
department
here
well
back
in
the
late
30s
in
the
early
1940s,
the
American
mob
was
actually
working
with
the
predecessor
to
the
CIA
and
the
military
intelligence
against
the
Germans,
the
Japanese
and
the
Russians,
because
they
owned
the
ports,
the
railroad
stations
and
other
things.
Lucky
Luciano
actually
helped
in
the
planning
of
the
invasion
of
Sicily.
A
Now
historians
will
tell
you
all,
there's
no
element
of
truth
to
that.
That's
just
a
rumor!
Well,
my
mentor
was
the
former
deputy
director
of
the
CIA
and
he
was
there.
He
was
an
OSS
at
the
time
and
he
told
me
the
facts
behind
that
operation
and
sure,
as
hell,
the
American
military
was
supported
by
the
Mafia.
So
in
this
story,
I
take
that
up
where
the
mob
was
working
with
intelligence
back
in
1942
and
then
later
in
life.
Information
that
they
gathered
ended
up
being
very,
very
important
in
the
modern
day.
A
Okay,
I
just
keep
talking
to
you.
Your
check
clears
okay,
10:24,
okay,
we'll
skip
this
book
and
I
wrote
this
book
and
the
consultant
so
I've
already
talked
a
little
bit
about
to
the
consultant,
so
I'm
already
short
on
time,
so
I'm
gonna,
move
along
pretty
good
I'll,
be
here
later
on
to
talk
about
anybody.
That's
got
any
interest
in
the
specifics
of
this,
but
the
consultant
is
more
about
my
world
today.
A
A
So,
in
order
to
make
time
for
questions
or
people
to
throw
things
or
whatever
you
guys
want
to
do,
we
want
to
leave
you
with
a
few
thoughts.
If
you
get
nothing
from
anything,
I've
talked
about
I've
kind
of
been
a
little
haphazard
here,
because
the
video
kind
of
slowed
me
down,
you
all
need
to
read
and
I
don't
care.
A
If
you
read
books,
comic
books,
magazines,
the
newspaper
I
don't
care,
but
you
will
be
significantly
more
successful
if
you
read
I'm
living
proof
of
that,
I
come
from
Nowheresville
in
upstate,
New
York
from
absolutely
nothing
and
I
taught
myself.
Virtually
everything.
I
got
myself
into
college,
because
I
could
read
and
bluff
my
way
through
a
test
later
on
in
life,
I
taught
myself
bits
and
parts
of
three
or
four
languages,
and
today
I
do
most
of
my
intelligence
gathering
by
reading
and
writing
it
in
a
little
reports.
A
So
moral
of
the
story
read,
write,
read
and
have
a
good
time
be
adventurous,
get
away
from
your
damn
computers
get
off
your
cell
phones
get
out
and
do
something
you
can
read
on
your
cell
phone,
then
put
it
away
and
go
do
something
with
it.
Do
something
other
than
just
play
with
gadgets
all
right
again,
a
little
haphazard
and
I
apologize
for
that.
The
video
kind
of
threw
me
off
and
I
couldn't
talk
about
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
I
will
take
questions.
Yes,
ma'am.
B
A
The
reason
I
did
that
so
one
of
the
things
about
mysteries
and
thrillers-
that's
really
significant,
is
if
you're
not
realistic,
nobody's
going
to
read
them
right.
Some
of
these
books
that
you
read
today
are
so
outlandish.
Nobody
cares.
Hey
guys,
give
me
two
more
minutes
here.
Then
you
can
get
out
of
here.
A
So
in
order
to
make
a
thriller,
realistic
and
I
had
to
put
my
name
on
it
as
as
a
terrorism
expert
I
needed
to
make
it
close
to
reality
as
I
could
so
I
I
developed
a
plot
and
I
worked
with
some
former
Special
Forces
Green
Berets
everyday,
and
we
sort
of
crafted
this
plot.
That
said,
this
could
happen.
This
is
how
it
very
well
could
happen,
and
then
we
stopped
short
of
the
elements
that
would
be
necessary
to
allow
it
to
be
successful,
because
I
would
not
put
that
out
of
book.
A
A
A
There
I
knew
what
happened
day
and
night
and
something
was
out
of
place
and
then
my
landlord
came
in
and
said
they're
outside
they're
coming
for
you
and
because
of
his
early
warning
and
me
noticing
what
was
going
on
around
me,
I'm
standing
here
today
granite.
My
ex-wife
is
unhappy
about
that,
but
we'll
get
over
that,
but
the
reality
is
is
just
pay
attention
to
what
you're
doing
and
if
you
see
something
tell
somebody
what
you
see.
Does
that
answer
your
question?
Any
other
questions
I'll
be
around
later.
If
anybody's
interested.
A
Okay,
now
that
I
have
your
attention
for
those
of
you
that
weren't
listening
or
doing
something
else
or
playing
on
your
phones,
I'm
TJ,
O'connor
I
am
a
international
security
consultant
I
specialized
in
terrorism
and
I've
been
in
the
terrorism
business
since
I
was
18
years
old
I'm.
Also
an
author
I
write,
murder,
mysteries
and
thrillers
and
I've
got
I've
written
10
books.
Five
of
them
have
been
published.
A
I've
only
tried
to
publish
six
I'm
working
on
my
sixth
and
seventh
publication
now
and
I
started
writing
when
I
was
in
the
fifth
grade
and
I've
been
writing
my
entire
life,
in
fact,
I
always
say:
first
I'm
a
writer
and
I'm
a
consultant
second,
but
you
know
I,
don't
make
much
money!
Writing
so
I'm,
really
a
consultant
and
then
I
kind
of
write
on
the
side.
So
I
don't
have
any
real
big
message
for
you
guys
today.
So
I'm!
A
Sorry,
if
you
came
here
to
really
learn
something
deep
and
philosophical,
that's
not
going
to
happen!
Instead,
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
just
kind
of
give
you
a
flavor
for
how
somebody
like
me
came
from
being
a
poor
kid
in
upstate,
New
York
and
a
rural
farming
community
to
sort
of
a
world
traveler
a
terrorism
expert
and
an
author.
A
My
story
is
really
not
unique,
but
it
is
sort
of
to
me
and
I've
sort
of
lived,
my
life
with
one
goal
in
mind
and
that's
to
have
a
hell
of
a
good
time.
I
adventure
at
everything
I
can
I
turn
everything
I
do
into
an
adventure
and
I
try
not
to
let
anything
get
in
the
way
of
that,
but
the
bottom
line-
and
this
is
the
wrong
remote.
What
the
hell
am
I
doing,
oh
by
the
way
I'm
not
supposed
to
swear
so
good
luck
with
that.
B
A
I
understand:
there's
no
swearing
day
right
who
the
hell
came
up
with
that
right.
So
look.
The
only
message
I
really
have
for
you.
Guys
is
really
kind
of
simple
and
this
sort
of
goes
along
with.
Why
we're
here
and
that's
read
I
can
tell
you.
My
travels
have
been
over
a
couple
dozen
countries
all
over
the
world.
I've
met
all
kinds
of
new
and
unusual
people.
Some
of
them
have
arrested
me.
Some
of
them
have
tried
to
kill
me.
A
We've
really
had
a
great
relationship
other
than
that,
but
one
thing
that
is
true
in
any
culture
in
any
place
I've
ever
been,
and
that's
the
difference
between
successful
people
and
people
that
are
not
very
successful,
is
successful.
People
read,
and
that
is
not
a
buzz
line
for
today,
I've
been
saying
that
since
I
started
touring
on
my
books
about
eight
years
ago,
if
you
do
nothing
else,
learn
to
read.
Well,
you
can
teach
yourself
anything.
You
can
overcome
anything.
It's
free!
You
don't
need
to
be
from
a
wealthy
family.
It's
free!
It's
an
escapism.
A
Reading
saved
my
life
twice
literally
saved
my
life
twice.
It
is
you
learn
about
culture.
You
learn
about
people,
you
learn
about
yourself
and
you
get
to
do
it
by
yourself.
It
doesn't
require
a
gang,
a
posse
politics,
anything
you
can
do
it
by
yourself
and
if
you
read
well,
you
can
overcome
almost
anything
and
that's
not
a
buzz
line
because
I'm
living
proof
of
it.
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
I
want
to
start
out,
and
my
time
is
really
short.
A
This
is
an
hour
presentation
I'm
going
to
jam
into
what
is
now
about
twenty
five
minutes
and
take
questions.
So
forgive
me
as
I
bounce
around
a
little
bit
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
get
to
the
high
points.
So
I
started
writing
in
the
fifth
grade,
and
these
were
the
three
books
that
really
launched
me
on
my
interest.
In
writing.
Books
I
came
from
a
very
bad
family
rough
times,
a
dad
that
used
to
like
to
try
to
kill
me
at
least
annually,
just
so
that
I
remembered
these
books
saved
my
life
I
started.
A
Reading
I
learned
as
an
escapism.
The
Hardy
Boys
book
literally
saved
my
life.
That
first
story,
I,
should
have
told
in
the
first
class
and
I
didn't
I
was
hiding
from
my
father
one
day
and
I
was
reading
this
book,
the
Hardy
Boys
and
he
came
in
and
he
was
really
mad.
That
I
was
doing
something.
I
was
supposed
to
do.
A
He
picked
up
a
ball-peen
hammer
and
threw
it
at
my
head:
I
dodged
it
with
the
book
and
ran
like
hell
say
my
so
books
became
very,
very
important
to
me,
but
I
learned
in
high
school
that
you
know
the
old
adage.
You
got
to
write
what
you
know
well,
that's
kind
of
true
and
it's
also
kind
of
a
lie
right,
so
most
murder,
mystery
writers.
They
haven't,
killed
anybody
right.
Science
fiction
writers
have
not
been
to
Mars,
but
instead
they
learned
all
this
stuff
by
writing.
B
A
One
in
the
middle
I'll
get
to
that
so
in
high
school
I
realized
I
needed
to
experience
life
so
I
joined
the
military
became
first
a
military
policeman,
and
this
is
my
unit
of
guys
that
we
went
on
to
run
a
SWAT
operation
team
and
then
I
became
a
military
federal
agent,
where
I
specialized
in
counterintelligence
in
any
terrorism
and
I
traveled
all
over
the
world.
I
was
involved
in
the
first
Gulf
War
I
was
involved
in
the
takedowns
of
terrorists.
A
A
These
are
all
the
places
that
I
traveled
I
lived
mostly
in
airplanes
in
suitcases
a
couple
times
in
jail
cells,
but
we
won't
go
into
that
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
was
building
my
resume
to
be
a
writer,
because
even
though
I
was
a
consultant
and
a
federal
agent,
all
this
cool
stuff
I
really
wanted
to
write
so
because
the
school
is.
This
is
sort
of
a
class.
This
is
the
wisdom
I'm
going
to
impart
on
you.
It's
going
to
take
one
minute
and
we'll
move
on
with
the
cool
stunts.
C
B
A
Can
be
a
writer
if
you
write
a
short
story
if
you
write
a
lot
you're
a
writer,
an
author
is
somebody
who's
represented
by
a
literary
agent
and
who
is
published.
That's
a
big
difference
because
lots
of
people
go
around
saying
I'm,
a
writer
and
I
always
say
I'm
an
author
there's
a
difference,
but
these
days
you
can
be
self-published,
you
can
be
micro,
published.
You
can
go
independent
publishing,
you
can
go
traditional
publishing
and
that
is
the
order
of
the
difficulty.
I
am
traditionally
published.
I
have
an
agent
a
publicist
three
different
publishers.
A
They
all
take
the
money.
I
get
nothing
but
I
get
to
write
the
stories
hey
it's
like,
so
the
moral
of
the
story
is,
if
you
want
to
be
an
author,
does
anybody
here
want
to
be
an
author,
a
writer,
a
couple
people
yeah?
Well,
remember
this
part
you're
not
going
to
make
a
lot
of
money
unless
you're
John
Grisham
other
net
you're
gonna
love
it
authors
are
some
of
the
best
people
I've
ever
met
in
my
life
bar
none.
Let
me
give
you
the
genesis
of
my
first
book.
A
My
first
book
is
a
my
breakout.
Novel
was
dying
to
know
it's
a
murder
mystery
set
in
Winchester
about
a
detective
who's
killed
in
the
opening
of
the
book,
and
he
comes
back
and
tells
the
story
of
how
his
murder
is
solved
and
he's
an
active
participant
in
the
case.
But
you
know
it's
not
a
ghost
story:
the
character
is
actually
an
integral
part
of
the
story,
and
a
lot
of
the
information
in
there
is
based
on
adventures
from
my
life.
A
The
first
one
was
my
very
first
homicide
case,
and
that
was
about
1985
and
I
was
a
rookie
OSI
agent
and
one
day
the
phone
rings,
and
this
this
Colonel
or
general,
or
somebody
that
thinks
they're
important,
says:
hey.
We
got
a
dead
guy,
you
got
to
come
investigate
and
I'm
like
woohoo
I,
got
kind
of
a
warped
sense
of
humor,
hey
a
dead
guy.
This
is
great
my
very
first
homicide
case.
This
is
great.
So
my
partner
and
I
grab
our
guns.
Jump
in
our
car.
Put
our
bubble.
A
Light
on
go
driving
like
Mad
Dogs
down
the
highway,
stop
turn
around
come
back.
We
have
forgotten
all
of
our
crimes
in
gear.
We've
got
our
radios,
we
forgot
our
cameras,
we
forgot
everything
back
in
those
days
there
was
no
CSI,
so
we
were
seeing
us
that
we
were
everything,
so
we
go
screaming
into
this
place.
A
We
get
there,
and
this
is
the
first
picture
we
took
as
we
drove
in
of
the
police
looking
down
into
this
hole
and
there's
bulldozers
and
backhoes,
and
all
this
other
crap,
so
I
walk
up
and
anybody
sees
I
have
seen
the
movie
creature
of
the
Black
Lagoon.
Oh,
my
god,
you
you
people
need
to
get
out
in
life,
so
in
the
opening
scene.
There's
this
skeletal
hand
that
comes
out
well,
I,
looked
down
on
this
hole
and
here's
this
skeleton
arm
coming
out
out
of
the
dirt
about
seven
feet.
A
Down
and
I
kind
of
looked
down
and
I
go
hey
I
thought
we
had
a
homicide,
so
we
had
a
body
and
this
guy
taps
me
on
the
shoulder.
I
turn
around
it's
a
two-star
general
and
he
says
by
definition,
I
think
he's
dead
yeah.
You
guys
are
lame
today.
What
come
on
this
is
my
best
stuff.
So
we
excavate
the
body
the
corpse
pull
it
out
and
again
this
is
before
CSI,
so
we
had
to
determine
how
did
you
know?
You
got
a
skeleton?
How
do
you
figure
out
back
in
1985
how
somebody
died?
A
Well,
the
problem
we
had
was
this
was
the
site
of
where
this
two-star
general
is
going
to
build
his
retirement
present
to
himself
for
an
officer's
club.
So
he
was
really
upset
that
there
was
a
body
in
it,
but
then
we
also
found
out
that
back
in
1940's
about
1942.
This
was
where
the
barracks
were
for
Airmen
at
Rickenbacker,
a
National
Guard
base.
This
barracks
in
particular,
was
for
African
American
fliers.
Well,
those
of
you
that
know
history
know
that
back
in
those
days
it
was
dark
days
for
our
country.
A
When
it
came
to
race
relations,
we
were
very
concerned
that
a
black
flier
had
been
murdered
and
nobody
knew
about
it.
So
we
launched
a
full-blown
investigation.
This
is
1985.
This
is
from
1942,
so
genius,
right,
I,
just
say:
hey
I
know
how
we
can
do
this.
We're
gonna
take
the
bones
down
to
Ohio
State
University
to
the
Department
of
Archaeology.
These
guys
know
all
kinds
of
stuff
we're
gonna
get
down
to
and
evaluate
our
bones,
so
we
did
wahoo,
hey,
not
wahoo.
For
me,
cuz
after
I
go
down
there.
A
They
hit
me
with
about
two
inches
of
legal
documents
and
tell
me
they
have
just
seized
my
body.
They
have
hit
me
with
a
federal
writ
seizing
the
property,
because,
allegedly
this
body
is
a
3500
year
old,
American
Indian,
that
is
perhaps
the
oldest
archaeological
discovery
in
Ohio
and
one
would
think
that's
cool
now
that
general
was
not
abused,
that
he
was
not
going
to
get
his
officer's
club,
and
it
was
you
know,
obviously
my
fault,
because
I
brought
these
bones
down
there.
So
for
about
a
year
I
took
crap.
A
The
general
calls
Washington
Washington
calls
me
they
make
me
report
I
get
into
trouble.
You
know
all
the
stuff
long
and
the
story
is.
It
was
not
a
body
from
the
1940s
of
the
1950s.
These
are
actual
photographs.
That's
the
crime-scene
report.
It
turns
out
it
was
Old
MacDonald,
some
poor,
Dirt
Farmer
from
nine
1860s,
was
killed,
stuffed
in
a
hole
behind
his
barn
and
never
recorded
never
reported
to
the
to
the
police.
His
wife
probably
did
it.
A
If
anything
like
my
first
wife,
she
did
it
so
we're
sitting
there
and
we
got
a
body
with
a
skull
bashed
in
skull
and
everything
else
and
I
decided
that
I
was
not
gonna
run
a
hundred
and
fifty
year
old
homicide.
So
we
walked
away
from
it.
But
it
started
me
thinking
what,
if,
during
a
major
construction
project,
somebody
discovers
a
historic
body.
What
would
happen
for
that
investigation,
which
is
the
premise
behind
dying
to
know,
so
that
was
where
I
started
to
get
the
original
part
of
my
story.
A
The
second
part
was
my
second
homicide
investigation.
This
one
was
a
little
weird,
so
work
with
me
here,
try
to
have
a
sense
of
humor
I
know
that
may
be
hard
because
you're
not
sponding
well,
but
I
got
a
call
that
there's
a
body
up
and
up
at
Ohio,
and
this
this
young
airman
has
been
attacked
and
murdered
by
a
jealous
boyfriend.
A
So
I
go
up
there
and
I
find
out
the
local
police
have
dropped
the
ball,
they
haven't
photographed
the
body
they
hadn't
fingerprinted,
the
body
and
the
body
has
already
been
brought
to
the
mortuary.
So
I
go
bebop
and
down
there
get
to
the
mortuary
and
there's
in
the
nice
mortician
says:
oh,
you
can
go
down
in
the
basement
and
do
what
you
got
to
do.
It's
ok,
so
I
go
down
there
and
this
Airman's
land
there
on
the
slab
and
he's
already
embalmed,
which
means
you
know
your
arms
and
legs
are
like
rubber.
A
So
back,
then
we
didn't
have
all
the
electronic
gadgets.
There
was
no
phone
app
to
take
fingerprints.
In
fact,
we
didn't
even
have
cell
phones,
so
I'm
sitting
there
standing
next
to
the
embalming
table.
This
poor
guy
is
laying
there
dead
as
a
brick.
So
the
way
that
I
have
to
fingerprint
is
we
have
this
little
gadget
where
you
spread
the
fingers
you
put
ink
on
the
fingers
and
you
roll
this
gadget
underneath
the
fingers
well
in
order
to
do
that
when
you're
already
dead
and
you've
been
in
bombed,
the
body
is
sort
of
elastic.
A
So
I
stand
next
to
the
body.
No,
so
the
body's
like
here
and
I've
been
disarmed
up
and
that
opens
the
fingers.
I'm
thinking,
hey
genius,
right
fingers
are
open,
so
I
take
my
rolling
things
and
I'm
walking
over
and
all
of
a
sudden
cadaver
expands
and
takes
over,
and
this
dead
guy's
hand
goes
and
grabs.
My
wrist
I
jump
back
dropped.
The
fingerprinting
kit
drew
my
45
was
about
ready
to
shoot
this
guy
again
and
the
mortician
standing
in
the
doorway
yelling.
Don't
shoot
he's
already
dead,
Wow
Snickers.
A
A
So
that's
sort
of
where
my
first
bit
of
hope
questions
for
the
end.
We
that's
where
I
sort
of
started,
taking
down
the
path
of
getting
real-life
stories.
So
then,
I
in
OSI
I
started
traveling
I
traveled,
all
over
the
Middle
East
all
over
the
minute
ran
all
over
Europe
I've
been
arrested
in
most
of
the
countries
that
I've
gone
to
I
was
involved
in
some
major
terrorist
operations
back
in
the
late
80s,
including
Bobby's
bar
Oscar's
bar
the
city
of
Poros.
The
arrest
of
Mohammed
Rashid
I've
been
targeted
by
terrorists.
A
The
17
November
terrorist
organization
and
Athens
came
to
my
house
and
attempted
to
take
me
out,
went
back
to
headquarters.
Osi
ended
up
in
the
first
Gulf
War
running
operations
there
and
afterward,
because
I'm
such
a
darling,
human
being
and
because
I
was
so
well
loved.
My
wife
divorced
me
and
I
blame
her
I
divorced
me
too.
I
was
never
home.
I
was
always
in
an
airplane,
going
on
getting
arrested
by
somebody
by
the
Turkish
police.
So
you
know
so.
A
So,
as
I
said,
my
first
book
dying
to
know
is
all
based
on
the
homicide
investigations
that
I
ran
back
in
the
80s
and
the
90s
each
one
of
my
stories
has
three
elements
to
it.
There
is
a
traditional
murder
mystery
like
Agatha
Christie,
the
greatest
murder
mystery
right
of
all
time.
There
is
a
historical
subplot,
that's
historically
accurate
and
then
at
the
end
it
culminates
around
the
main
character.
A
In
this
first
series,
the
main
character
is
a
dead
detective,
but
I
do
that
intentionally,
because
that
historical
piece
takes
place
100
200
years
ago
and
I
use
the
spirit
side
of
the
book,
the
paranormal
to
connect
the
old
mystery
with
the
modern
mystery
and,
at
the
end
they
always
blow
up
into
being
much
much
more
dying.
You
know
when
a
bunch
of
awards
dying
for
the
past
was
booked
to
it
takes
place.
The
modern
mystery
is
a
philanthropist
who's
killed.
A
The
historical
sub
piece
is
about
a
1942
gangster
who
worked
with
American
intelligence
and
that's
sort
of
historians,
and
here
people
that
love
history.
A
few,
oh
right.
So
in
the
in
the
1930s
and
1940s
true
story,
the
Mafia
in
this
country
actually
helped
the
American
intelligence
community
against
the
Russians,
the
Japanese,
the
Germans
Lucky
Luciano.
You
guys
probably
know
who
that
is
right.
A
To
tell
is
the
third
and
the
last
book
in
that
series
so
far,
the
historical
piece
is
about
Cairo
Egypt,
with
a
real
OSS
operation
that
took
place
in
the
1940s,
where
the
Germans
took
to
German
intelligence
officer
from
the
the
vert
mark,
snuck
them
across
the
desert
in
the
Cairo
to
develop
intelligence
operations
against
OSS
in
the
Allies.
The
trouble
was
they
took.
Two
young
guys
gave
him
a
whole
bunch
of
money,
send
him
in
the
Cairo
to
hang
out
in
the
bars.
What
do
you
think
happened
right,
I'm?
A
Not
keeping
you
guys
from
anything.
Am
I
sorry
didn't
mean
interrupt,
so
you
take
a
bunch
of
young
guys.
You
give
him
a
whole
bunch
of
free
money,
send
him
bars
and
hang
out.
What
do
you
think
happens?
They
got
drunk
on
their
butts,
they
got
caught
chasing
women
and
they
got
arrested
by
the
OSS.
Their
operation
lasted
two
whole
weeks,
while
the
premise
behind
my
book
is
what
if
there
was
a
third
operative
who
didn't
get
caught
and
what
damage
could
he
have
done
to
American
intelligence.
A
10
after
Jerry,
okay-
well,
you
know
here:
I
talk
until
the
check
clears.
The
next
book
is
also
a
historic
ten
after
right,
yes,
the
last
thing
my
paranoia
of
mysteries
is
nuisance
for
old
scores.
Its
subplot
is
about
an
OSS
operation
from
World
War,
two
with
a
modern
murder
mystery.
This
one
is
kind
of
important
to
me,
because
my
mentor
of
twenty-five
years
was
one
of
the
last
OSS
operatives
from
World
War
two.
A
He
was
also
the
deputy
director
of
the
Central
Intelligence
Agency,
and
he
plays
a
very
prominent
part
in
this
book,
but
this
sort
of
leads
me
to
the
consultant.
So
this
is
really
my
world
twelve
whole
minute,
but
your
check
hasn't
cleared
your
check
hasn't
cleared.
You
said:
I
was
going
to
get
$1,000
for
being
here,
I'll
take
cash,
so
the
consultant
is
really
about
my
world.
It's
the
story
of
Jonathan
hunter
who
he
summoned
home
by
his
estranged
brother.
They
haven't
spoken
in
20
years.
A
He
comes
home
and
his
brothers
murdered
in
front
of
him
and
he
decides
he's
going
to
hunt
down
and
kill
the
terrorists
or
the
murderer
who
got
him.
But
then
the
book
takes
a
very
dramatic
change.
Hunter
has
been
away
for
25
years,
since
he
was
17
years
old
sort
of
like
I
had
been,
and
he
finds
out
that
well
he's
been
chasing
terrorists,
his
whole
life
in
the
Middle
East.
He
missed
something,
and
it's
a
lot
like
a
lot
of
us
here
are
probably
missing.
Cameramen.
A
Terrorism
has
been
alive
and
well
in
his
hometown
and
he's
been
off
overseas
chasing
it
and
that
hits
him
really
really
hard.
Cuz
he's
lost
his
entire
family.
His
brother
is
now
dead
and
he's
been
overseas.
Doing
crazy,
crap
like
I
did,
and
he
completely
missed
out
on
the
fact
that
he
should
have
been
home
dealing
with
the
problem
there.
So
he
starts
out
to
find
his
brother's
killer.
He
discovers
a
hidden
terrorist,
the
plot
that's
unfolding,
and
then
he
also
finds
out
that
his
brother
well,
the
Arabs,
have
been
his
enemy.
His
whole
life.
A
His
brother
is
married
to
an
Arab
refugee
and
that
completely
throws
him
for
a
loop.
Now
hunter
is
sort
of
a
wild
and
crazy
adventure.
Smart-Mouth
kind
of
a
crazy
guy
remind
you
of
anybody
so
far,
but
the
story
focuses
on
the
real
possibility
of
an
attack
against
the
United
States
I'm,
in
that
business
myself
and
some
former
Special
Forces
guys
got
together
and
came
up
with
a
plot.
That
is
not
only
realistic.
It
should
scare
the
crap
out
of
you
when
you
read
it,
because
the
answer
is,
it
can
happen.
A
A
So
the
stories
literally
about
this
rogue
consultant
how
he
a
he
comes
to
grips
with
what
he's
lost,
because
every
good
story,
every
novel,
the
main
character,
has
to
be
flawed.
This
guy
is
deeply
flawed.
He
thought
he
was
a
big
swashbuckling
operative
and
he
finds
out
that
he's
completely
missed
the
boat
on
everything
he
finds
out
his
debt,
his
brother's
dead
and
involved
in
a
terrorist
operation.
A
I'm,
not
saying
everybody
has
to
be
a
writer,
but
if
you
don't
read
and
read
well,
you
will
fail.
That
is
my
promise
to
you.
You
can
be
successful
on
we
time.
I
hear
that
bad
memories,
bad
juju,
so
do
it
read
and
experience,
but
if,
above
all,
drop
your
cell
phone
get
rid
of
your
computer
go
out
and
enjoy
yourself
have
some
adventure
on
your
own
outside
the
keyboard?
A
C
A
It's
a
suburb
of
Athens
and
I've,
been
working
undercover
there
for
a
while
and
I
always
pay
attention
to
my
environment,
in
other
words,
and
all
you
should
be
doing
that
too
in
your
neighborhoods
right
know:
what's
normal,
so
you
can
pick
out
what's
not
normal,
because
it's
the
not
normal
it'll
get
you
killed
or
get
your
house
robbed
or
get
you
beat
up
or
whatever
it's
really
simple.
Anybody
can
do
it.
You
don't
even
have
to
have
training.
A
In
my
case,
I
noticed
one
night
that
there
was
a
car
that
kept
going
up
and
down
the
street
and
I
didn't
recognize
the
car
and
in
Athens
people
just
don't
drive
around
right.
They
would
drive
old
Junkers,
it's
not
really
a
third-world
country
because
they
don't
want
to
admit
it,
but
they
sort
of
are
and
then
I'm.
You
know
I'm
getting
a
little
nervous.
Somethings
were
going
on.
Maybe
it's
not
me.
Maybe
it's
somebody
else
in
my
neighbor.
A
My
landlord
comes
down,
he
was
an
Egyptian
guy
and
he
says:
hey
they're
here,
for
you
they're
coming
for
you.
Those
are
the
words
you
don't
want
to
hear
at
11
o'clock
at
night.
They
are
coming
for
you.
So
I
got
my
wife,
my
wife
at
the
time.
Maybe
this
is
why
she
divorced
me
got
my
wife.
At
the
time
my
two
kids
and
my
dog
put
them
out
the
back
window
of
my
house.
They
went
up
the
fire
escape
to
the
top
floor.
A
B
B
A
C
A
A
The
reason
that's
important.
Thank
you
reason.
That's
important
was
the
local
police
didn't
have
a
big
Police
Department,
so
they
assigned
a
traffic
officer
to
the
investigation.
That's
why
he
wasn't
fingerprinted.
He
wasn't
photographed.
They
also
didn't
take
any
enough
witness
statements.
I
found
a
witness
that
was
in
the
house,
did
not
see
the
murder
but
heard
the
voice
and
on
his
deathbed
as
he
was
dying,
he
identified
his
killer.
Now
the
law
says
a
dying
declaration.
A
The
person
who
gives
it
must
know
that
they're
dying
because
the
law
seems
you're
not
lying
well,
he
didn't
know
he
was
dying,
so
the
police
thought
that
that
was
going
to
be
their
evidence.
So
we
got
a
dying
declaration.
It's
guaranteed
knew
it
was
not
a
dying
declaration,
but
the
witness
heard
the
voice.
My
witness
identified
him,
he
got
the
needle,
he
was
put
to
death.
A
No
I
didn't
almost
get
arrested.
I
got
arrested
several
times.
Look
at
this
face.
Would
you
not
arrest
it
now?
So
so?
In
my,
in
my
travels
the
work
I
did
overseas,
we
didn't
always
tell
the
local
government.
We
were
doing
it
so
when
we
would
be
out
doing
surveillance
and
operations,
the
local
police
didn't
know.
We
were
there.
So
if
somebody
saw
us
and
reported
us
and
the
local
police
happened
to
show
up
and
try
to
arrest
us,
it
was
bad
form
to
get
into
a
gunfight
with
the
local
police.
A
A
A
The
most
exciting
story-
okay
I,
probably
have
three
minutes,
and
this
will
be
the
last
question.
I
told
the
story
to
the
group
in
there,
so
in
1987,
I
think
it's
seven
I
was
in
Athens
Greece,
running
terrorism
operations
and,
as
anybody
has
any
buddy
heard
of
the
terrorist
group,
Abu
Nidal
you're,
the
guy
you've
heard
always
them
so.
Abu
Nidal
attacked
the
city
of
Poros
cruise
ship
in
the
port
of
Piraeus,
which
is
south
of
Athens,
and
they
got
into
a
big
gunfight
with
the
Mossad
Israeli
intelligence
organization.
A
We
got
word
of
the
attack
and
we
believe
that
Abu
Nidal
was
going
to
then
attack
an
American
target
and
the
intelligence
we
had
I
can't
tell
you
what
it
was,
but
we
knew
where
they
were
going
to
try
to
come
so
I
formed
my
team.
We
went
down
at
3
o'clock
in
the
morning.
We
set
up
an
operation
around
this
American
sector,
where
we
knew
they
were
going
to
come
and
we
set
up
what's
called
counter
surveillance
and
we
went
heavy
meaning
we
had
lots
of
guns.
Well,
my
partner
I
got
a
little
sloppy.
A
We
were
out
of
coffee.
We
were
tired,
we
were
kind
of
kicked
back
and
you
know:
I
had
a
beard,
a
long,
hair
and
leather
jacket
and
looked
like
somebody
that
needed
be
arrested
and
beaten
up
and
almost
sudden
these
four
or
five
Greek
police
cars
come
screaming
up
and
they
circled
us
and
all
these
cops
run
out
with
machine
guns
and
guns
and
everything
and
and
I'm
sitting
here
and
I'm.
Looking
around
and
I
look
at
my
partner
and
I
go
oh
and
they
just
end
it
on
us.
Well,
he
spoke.
A
He
spoke
fluent
Greek
I
did
not
so
he
starts
talking
to
this
sergeant.
This
really
great
story
about
who
he's
lie
and
he's
trying
to
tell
him
this
story
to
get
us
out
of
trouble,
and
this
guy
started
trying
to
drag
me
out
of
the
car
and
I'm
resisting
well,
don't
resist
right
when
the
police
show
up
with
I,
always
tell
you
shut
up
and
don't
resist.
I
didn't
know
that
lesson
at
the
time.
A
So
two
guys
dragged
me
out
of
the
car
and
started
beating
the
crap
out
of
me
and
I'm
yelling
at
my
partner
to
tell
him
tell
them
I'm.
Okay
and
he's
smoking
a
cigar
and
talk
to
the
Greek
place,
and
that's
all
funny
and
everybody's
having
a
good
time
and
they're
beating
the
crap
out
of
me,
and
then
it
gets
worse.
A
They
reach
into
the
front
seat
and
they
take
out
my
leather
carry
bag
open
it
up,
don't
see
anything,
throw
it
on
the
hood
of
the
car
and
my
mp5
machine
gun,
slides
out
of
the
bag
and
lands
on
the
concrete.
That
was
not
a
good
thing.
They
instantly
thought
I
was
Abu
Nidal,
four
of
them
grabbed
me
started
beating
the
crap
out
of
me
even
more
and
I
yelling
at
them,
senomiya
hasta,
no
Mia,
hasta,
no
Mia,
which
in
my
mind,
meant
I'm
a
security
guy.
A
It
didn't
mean
anything
the
sergeant
walks
around
the
car
and
says
no,
no
Austin,
no
Mia
I'm
like
what
he
said:
you're
pronouncing
it
wrong
American.
The
word
is
Austin
no
Mia
great
I
just
got
a
fat
lip
and
a
black
eye,
because
I
couldn't
pronounce
Austin
no
man,
sir
everybody
calms
down.
It's
a
big
laugh.
Look
at.
We
killed
this
American.
A
This
is
funny
we
all
went
out
to
breakfast
and
everything
was
cool
and
they
taught
me
this
very
valuable
phrase
and
I'll
end
with
that
email,
medic,
honest
Austin,
the
most
s
failure
me
mate,
Petty's
pedicle
Oh
in
duxi,
which
literally
means
I'm
an
American
intelligence
officer.
Please
don't
shoot
me,
that's
my
most
exciting
story
of
almost
being
arrested
and
I
think
I'm
out
of
time.
