There Must Be A Mistake Ch. 21

"Goodbye Patricia, don't forget to give us your departure date."

"How could I possibly forget to do that Dan?"

She dialed Jemma's phone number and waited. "You bitch this better be good I was almost there."

"Next time don't pick up the phone until you're finished. You know my phone number call me back then."

"What do you want Patricia?"

"Would you like to go home to your husband permanently?"

"I know you wouldn't joke with me about that because I would kill you. How soon can we leave?"

"Three days, and we're gone. I'm staying for a month. You and Patrick can stay as long as it's safe."

"Can I tell William we're coming?"

"Call him on his cell and it will be fine."

"Thanks Patti, I will talk to you later."

William Silver received a fax from his contact at the FAA advising him that the aircraft owned by Stephano and Patricia Valentino was scheduled to depart Albany airport the following day at 11 AM Eastern standard Time. The initial destination is Bismarck North Dakota. There are three crewmembers, and one passenger, Patricia Valentino."

He sent her a text. "No one goes to Bismarck North Dakota. Follow that aircraft, and let me know any changes that occur."

"William, it would be a perfect place to hide a wife and son. No one would think of looking for them there."

"You're right Jim, it's been nearly 9 months now since the attempt on his house, and they may believe they are in the clear. Let's keep them thinking that way, until we are ready to make our big move. They can't protect everyone at the same time. We'll wait and see when our next opportunity comes about, and have people in place in Austin, and Houston. We can have fifty or sixty men on site in two hours, to set up everything for the main force."

"Do you want me to set them up now, or do you want to pick them out?"

"Take out the dossiers on each of our men. I want as many Marine scouts, Army Rangers, and SEAL's doing reconnaissance for us as possible."

"General Morgan, Patti Valentino is on line 4 for you."

"Don't start with me Patti, just tell me what you found."

"I know who it is and where she works. Her name is Agnes Moorhead and she's a supervisor at the FAA's flow control center in Virginia. I took it off his fax, and backtracked it to her desk before the machine cut off."

"You haven't lost your touch Patti. I guess that woman's going to jail."

"Would a visit from the Justice Department work in our advantage? She's not going to get much more than a slap on the wrist anyhow."

"I wouldn't consider losing your high-paying job, your retirement, probably your home and everything else you love a slap on the wrist."

"Why don't you talk to her Dan? Explain how things are, and how things could be."

"I'll have someone else talk to her. He's much more convincing than I am. Send me everything you have on her, and I'll take it from here."

"Margaret get Lucius in here."

Note: Dear readers, I apologize for the length of time it took me to put this chapter together. My neurologist is putting me into the hospital for a few days of testing. Suddenly, I'm unable to walk, and suffering from debilitating headaches. I do not know what is going on, and I do not know when I will get back on line. Please bear with me as I take this hiatus from writing, while I find out what is going on in my body. Thank you. Bob
