Chapter 4
“You knew my father?”
“And your mom,” he said. “Box of rocks ... but damned sexy.”
I was all set to lambast him a good one when his phone rang ... the red one.
“Hold that thought. I have to answer this.” He picked up. Whoever was on the other end made the ex-SAS man smile. He pushed a button.
“You got other I.D.?”
I was flying out of country ... of course I had other I.D...
“What do you want?” I said. “US passport, New Zealand passport, US Birth certificate, New Zealand Naturalization, Boat captain’s license, letter from President Clinton and a wallet full of family.”
“What does the M really stand for?”
“Me,” I said, “Surprise Me Flintkote.”
He pushed the button on his phone, “Arrest them. Surprise Me Flintkote is standing in front of me ... Yes, I’m sure. Ask the woman what the M stands for. I’ll wait.” He switched to speaker.
“She says Melody.”
“The guy with her says he is John William Flintkote,” said the phone.
“Walter,” I said. “Not William. I have one question.”
“Go ahead.”
“Is he pretty?”
“Pretty?”
“We’re triplets.”
“I see,” said the phone, “No ... he and the girl don’t look anything alike.”
“What are they trying to buy?” I asked.
“A speedboat ... powered by a pair of Lamborghini V10’s.”
“Absolutely not. If it was my sister and JW they might buy a sailboat. Never a powerboat. Besides, Cynthia would never use my name. She wants to be notorious in her own right.”
