Chapter 77
Key and operative words... I was protecting my principal. That was her actual assignment ... Seven left her with me to protect me. Two has protected Sultry, Surprise and now, me.
The Interpol schtick was made up on the spot ... I think ... maybe. I wonder what kind of a brain it takes to speak perfect and idiomatic Hebrew on the spot.
I have access to and have read the Flintkote Journals ... Two is a trouble maker ... has been and probably always will be.
She is ‘first in’ and ‘last out.’ Kinda like the Marines ... only, evidently ... MOSSAD ... Israeli Intelligence.
The ‘sleeper’ was secondary to me. I happened to be in the same room ... and a witness ... to all that was said. I was likely to be the next target.
“There are Seven of us. I was assigned to be her bodyguard. I knew there was ‘something’ about the Chief of Security that was a little off.”
I was the only one at the table who caught the capital ‘S’ on the seven. She said it like ‘Seven’ was actually ‘Seven Incorporated. Private Security, Body Guards and Celebrity Protection.”
Two continued, “I was right.”
Alice approached ... she had a FULL tray. Coffee was distributed.
“Thank you, Alice. Alice, my card. Let’s go ... class.”
The table of girls all jumped, swore, lidded cups or poured new coffee in stainless travel mugs and grabbed book bags. We’re not late ... yet.
We were just a tiny bit late ... but we did cause a commotion finding seats.
“Miss Flintkote ... and Miss Two ... I’m so glad you could join us.”
Dr. Randal (Randy) Jackson is the Aeronautical Mathematics 303 instructor ... and he has been known to be sarcastic. He is also a former Marine pilot ... aviator.
“I have scheduled a field trip ... it’s in your syllabus ... for Saturday.”
EERK ... I quickly thumbed through my Course Catalog ... heck. Black and white ... there it is.
Expect at least three Saturday Field Trips
I told myself, you need to read each catalog entry ... the whole thing. Heck and shuckydarn. There goes my leisurely Beach and Tan day.
