Today’s
excerpt is from Escape From Mexico, a stand alone book featuring Clyde Feegle, and
several old friends. Bob and Clyde
question the man who set up Sandy. Enjoy
and have a fantastic day.

Bob growled,
“You stay right here in the car, ‘Special
Agent’ Mead. Clyde and I will have a
few words with him. You got your comm
set turned on?”
“Yes. Go.”
Bob and Clyde
hurried into the garage bay and charged the attendant. Both had their weapons out and pointed at
him. Clyde grumbled, “You might want to
stand very still if you like living.”
“What? What?
Who are you? Cops?”
Bob shook his
head. “Nope. We’re your worst nightmare. We’re citizens not attached to the government
in any way. Oh—and we have a nasty
attitude.”
By then they
were on him, and soon hustled him behind a partition. Clyde secured his hands on the way, and the
attendant’s ‘worst nightmare’ was underway in no time. Several threats as what would happen to him
if he didn’t cooperate were hurled his way, but the capper was after Clyde told
him he and Bob were not connected with the government in any way, just out to
clear Sandy Melosi’s name. After that,
on a hunch, he added, “Did you happen to hear what happened to the five guys
who raped her while she was in custody?”
Both Bob and
Clyde knew they had him, due to his reaction to Clyde’s question. Ralph, listening outside on his communication
set, wondered what Clyde was up to, and—being unable to see the facial reaction
to the question—had no idea Clyde had struck pay dirt. He was soon to find out, as Clyde whipped out
his knife. “Okay, pal, you got two
choices: one, you lose your manhood—and
if you can get help after we leave before you bleed to death, you’ll go through
life without balls or a dick—or two, you can answer all our questions honestly
and we’ll turn you over to an ATF agent friend of ours, who will put you in
witness protection, if you give us everything.”
The broken man
asked, “What about my family? My woman,
and two kids?”
Clyde asked,
“You married to her?”
“No.”
“Well, if she’ll
have you, she goes into witness protection, along with your kids. If not, they’re on their own.”
“‘Z’ will have
‘em killed to get even with me.”
“Then you better
plan on getting married in short order…our friend can help arrange it. He’ll get them out of harm’s way for now, as
soon as you give us everything.”
“Alright—deal.”
Bob got out a
tape recorder he had in his pocket, then had the man tell about how he had set
Sandy up. When the attendant explained
what he had done and why Sandy had been arrested, Bob turned off his recorder
and Clyde took one out, and the question-and-answer session began. Outside with the car, Ralph could hardly
believe what he was hearing, but called in all three teams he had in the
area. After doing that, he asked into
his communication set, “Ask him where his lady friend and kids live. I’ll have them picked up right now.”
Clyde did
and—knowing Ralph could hear—went back to his questioning…after being told
where the man’s family could be found.
The part on how Sandy came to be arrested was due to two Mexican border
guards who normally worked the noon-to-four shift at the border entrance and
would have waved her through, but they were involved in a wreck on the way to
work and had been delayed that day. The
grumpy guards who had not been relieved discovered the weapons in Sandy’s car
and arrested her.
When the
questioning was complete, Clyde muttered, “Ralph, you may as well come on in.”
