Today’s excerpt is from Back
To Iraq, Book #2 of the Janitors Series. Drew tries to explain to Roland what they are
going to do, and why. Enjoy and have a great day.

Drew
answered, “About two o’clock in the morning, Boris and I will break into his
house, place listening devices all over the place, then listen to everything he
does and says. Before you ask, that is
strictly illegal. Under ordinary
circumstances, we would do no such thing in this country. However, these are not ‘ordinary
circumstances.’ Not with a missing nuke
floating around.”
Roland
almost choked on a piece of meat in his mouth before asking, “Nuclear weapon?
Here?”
Drew
smiled and answered, “Probably not here.
However, my suspicion is that lad across the street just might know
where it is. If he does, we hope to find
that out from him and take it away from whoever has it. Now, Roland, obviously this information is
for your ears only. Unless the President
tells you personally that you can discuss the nuclear part of our
investigation, please don’t. The only
reason I’m even telling you of this possibility is that with you staying here,
you will be able to hear our conversations and listen in to the goings on
across the street. If young Al-Sharif
was to suddenly say something about blowing up some place or the other, I
wouldn’t want you to have a stroke. In
addition, I trust you. Based on what,
you may ask? Years of judging people.”
“Thank
you, Drew. I’m flattered. I think the last person that came right out
and told me they trusted me was my wife…and I got her pregnant.”
