          Summer has set in with its usual severity.

"Orange Avenue leads us to Church Street Station, " directed Richard Mathone, the Black man who interrupted Willard's presentation.
"Orlando is a tourist attraction, not a terrorist magnet, " joked Willard.
"When the World-Trade-Center was bombed the terrorist activity shifted to Orlando.  More hotel rooms than any other city in the U.S., with more tourists than any city."
As the approached Rosie O'grady's the crowd's increased.
Richard maneuvered his way through the dense conglomeration of tourists in short-sleeves, shorts and sleevless dresses, given the 95 degree temperatures during the day and 80 degree temperatures at night.
"Go in here, " ordered Richard.  The western style store next to Cheyene's appeared to contain a lesser amount of people, providing the conspirators with cover.
"The gun display provides a good cover, " suggested Richard.
"I wouldn't come here without that $10,000 advance, " said Willard.
"We require your unique abilities for a deep-cover covert operation. "
"What deep-cover? "
"A local! "
"Good cover, since I would be able to establish residence without arousing suspicion. "
"We will provide you with an office. "
"Downtown? "
"Orange Avenue! "
"Job interviews for work in the Computer Industry. "
"Who provides the company data? "
"The Agency already is provided by the State Employment Office with company information.  We have arrange referrals from the State for specific employment prospects. "
"Given my experience with computers I fit the deep-cover. "
"Set-up for you, " replied Richard grimly clenching his teeth.
"My contacts are job applicants? "
"Exactly. "
"Who is the terrorist organization? "
"Universal Clones! "
"Are you nuts? "
"No, clones refer to their anhilation of individual freedom for the group mentality. "
"Universal means? "
"No deviation from their dogma! "
"If they deviate they suffer the consequences. "
"Neutralized. "
"Nucked. "
"De-briefed. "
"Memory rearranged? "
"Post-hypnotic suggestion to forget their past. " Page 15
