The Sleeper Is Up and About

She's been sighted around town. She's withdrawn the cash from that one account. Amber Hutchens is working with us with the list of contacts and there's only one in town who can provide that many passports for that price. Reed will be ready for her at The Beijing Bombshell. There won't be any accidental bump. Amber is 100 percent correct. All we have to do is take away a few of her passports. She'll take the bait and come to Reed herself.

The Hunter Files Are Now Officially Public

For those who've gotten The Hunter Files--> by now, you should know:

1) the identity of the missing person and how it came about that the weapon remains missing.

2) the location of a certain tattoo and what Hawk, ahem, wants to do around that area. Dudes, the things I'm privy to, I tell you!

3) the whereabout of more missing people of unknown fate.

4) which is the best flavor for edible underwear, according to a certain SEAL. Tsk. Again, this information ought to be redacted.

5) about dangerous friendships.

6) who the aunt is, why she's important, and how everything ties together.

Super Eight Ball passes on a message--> waterbugs, y'all be tested on this stuff when I see ya! Boy, do I have some hot stuff to tell ya! And don't forget some GOOD questions.

What am I, chopped ramchips?

Warning Label

Dudes, I do not understand the phenomena, but I've been told that some of you start The Hunter Files from the back. This is a very unnatural way, to begin with a conclusion, and then going back to the beginning. I suppose that's why that Super Eight Ball dude is so popular to you?

Anyway, I strongly advise against doing this for The Hunter Files. There are many revelations in the last two chapters that will spoil the whole experience for you. Trust me in this. My advice: Start in the middle, work backwards, and then when you reach the beginning, go forward.

Do you have the list I gave you from a few days back? Did you tick the items off one by one? If any of them aren't checked off, you're missing some clues, dudes!

Your Favorite Visitor

THE HUNTER files will be open to the public tomorrow. The cleaned-up version, of course. You have a lot of the FYEO information right here, dudes, so have fun piecing the story between the lines.

Remember, your favorite Super Eight Ball wants to pay a visit right after the first week the files are in your hands. He will be available for your questions. He's ready, he says. He's eager. And he's juiced up. I wouldn't take him so seriously, if I were you.

You may post your questions in the comment area and he'll randomly pick one a day. How fascinatingly original.

Still Waters

Alex Diamond has been very quiet lately. He hadn't logged in or spoken to Jed. He doesn't like to report back to me much, but still, I have this eight-ball feeling that he's up to something. Since the explosive device is still missing, he's going to have to make sure Maximillian Shoggi doesn't get his hands on it. We don't want extra complications in this operation now, do we?

When You Get The Hunter Files

Remember...

to eat a hamburger for me.
to not climb too many walls.
to bring lots of SEAL toys when you see Hawk.
to buy edible underwear.
veza and trimmings.
Llallana and her girls.
that relatives come and go.
what the last resort is.
the tattoo and the nipple ring.
to forgive the one bad copy-edit nobody saw until it was tooooo laaaaate. If you find this one Major copy edit, I will send you a surprise gift. Email me at Gennita's place. She's still pouting about it.

Money Matters

I see that Gennita Low is giving out mini-spoilers every day at her Yahoogroup. Traitor.

All the frozen accounts have had access attempts this past week. It won't be long before the "hidden" one is discovered. T. is monitoring that bank. We don't think there there will be any electronic transfer--too risky for the target. But it's something a desperate person might attempt.

Johnny Chic is demanding more pay. He's getting news that his club might be attacked. Probability of that happening: 50 percent. If Reed Vincenzio plays his part right, no one there, especially with the varied clintele, will know why he's at the club. He'd said he could dance. Let's hope he wasn't lying. Johnny's club has some very strange music.

Why Not These?

So Vivi zipped back an email after I sent her a few very nice examples of models in cowboy hats and this:



She was not so polite this time, ending with "Where do you get these photos you keep sending me? You're joking about that dress, right, COMCEN? And I'm not going to dress down my husband-to-be like a schoolboy or dress him up like one of those romance models. You aren't helping."

Deeyam. How did she know I was perusing through Gennita Low's GEMS page at www.Gennita-Low.com? Have you seen her Mr. Romance photos? I thought...that was what women liked. The cowboy hat added a point of interest to all that bare flesh, doesn't it? So I thought Mr. Zeringue could please his lady love by going bare-chested. Or, something different like that other picture above. What is wrong with that? I thought maybe a cape would be cool too, like those vampire-models at that function which Gennita attended.

It's the latest thing, I assured her, to wear colorful caps and shorts. I thought something I would like to see Vivi wear would be what Jazz want too. Right? I showed this to my Mentor. He told me to send her more. He sounded a little strange when I was talking to him. Sort of muffled. Maybe he's coming down with a cold.

I take this assignment seriously. Insert *frown.

It's A Matter Of Time

Oho! There is movement. Someone has tried to electronically access one frozen account. Very smart. Public source--a library--after a trace. Really smart. But getting to the funds will need a physical presence. How will the target avoid that?

Hard To Find

I am learning to sulk. Vivi does not like the few pictures of wedding dresses I sent her. She said they make her look like a Harlequin. I do not understand. I even found a couple from the Christian Dior haute couture site! Really top notch fashion with interestingly cut costumes. Like the one with the feathers on top and big ribbon on the side. It says, right there, the NEXT hottest trend in fashion.... I will look for more.

News from the front: Unfortunately, there are already a few drug-lords who have taken Dilaver's place and opening up some new "coffee houses" in Velesta, Macedonia. The cycle has begun again. There is no waiting line when it comes to crime there.

The CIA will not share any more information about what happened to Project Precious Gems. We're going to go through Nikki Harden who, of course, will use her resource, her husband. Jed McNeil always finds a way to get information.

Question: Why are these cells out there? And where are they now, if they are being tracked?

Anticipation

Conference on set-up for target. If things go according to plans, Johnny from The Beijing Bombshell in Pristina, Kosovo will be where it all begins. Amber Hutchens has some reservations about using this place since it's a well-known for being what she calls a "meat market." But the bank account available as bait is in this city. Johnny as the open source for passports is also here. And Johnny does business at the Beijing Bombshell.

"Regardless of the women, the target will take the bait," T said. I agree 100 percent. The only unknown factor is...when. The target is strangely reluctant. Amber fears injury. Calculated probablity--51 percent. Not enough information.

"We'll keep the bait open for the next two weeks," Jed said. "I have a feeling someone will make a move."

Reed Vincenzio is still busy thumbing through documents about sleeper cels. He's a quiet one, that man, but I am aware he's listening. And I think he knows something he isn't sharing with us.

Only One Thing Missing

Hawk has reported in that all Dilaver's caches have been taken care of. No sign of the missing isotope explosive device, of course. But there are now rumors in the black market that someone is seeking for this weapon, with a high price on the thief's head. Very interesting.

So what is happening behind the scenes between our adversaries?

Wedding Plans In The Middle

I heard over the grapevine...okay, so I looked at emails and tapped into airwaves...same thing...that Lieutenant Zola Zeringue aka Jazz's wedding with our Vivienne Verreau is going to be at his mother's house in Slidell, Louisiana. A gumbo wedding! And everyone from all sides are invited. He's lucky they have a football-size backyard because, can you imagine, all of Lieutenant Commander's Hawk McMillan's brothers and cousins and uncles present?

The bride-to-be looks a little overwhelmed, if you ask me. After all, she's only had me to talk to for the last few years. I think I shall spend some time looking up fabulous wedding dresses for her to pick, help her out. what do you think? Shall I post my finds here?

Clear As Mud

The FYEO info starting from Reed Vincenzio's photo are about events, conferences, and details after Hawk finished his assignment, dudes. Take that and mull over a bit about what that piece of info means. You should at least get the clue that someone's disappeared, right? Dudes???

The V-Program is an infiltration program designed for a group operatives. They infiltrate an organization like a Virus and they infect it. Each operative has a certain job, from Number One to Number Nine, and if done right, the target is destroyed in the end. Or at least, rendered totally useless.

Super Eight Ball says hi, by the way. He wants to visit right about the time The Hunter Files are available for your perusal. I guess you won't have any objections to more of that "out of battery, out of time" little snot?

A Clue To Look At And Consider In July

Dudes, I can't get any clearer with that title for a post. Insert lopsided sneer.

T has gone underground to find out the identity of G. G. Maybe she will see to it that Lily appears. Who knows? There's a missing connection here that I'm presently calculating. I agree with T. The silence has gone on too long. Bait. That's what T is good at, anyway.

One Step At A Time

Amber Hutchens has given the info of accounts. Now the waiting game begins.

On another front, Jed McNeil has agreed to a very important experiment. Details at...twelve. Insert evil grin.

GEM operative Vivi Verreau will be taking over as liaison to move the girls the UN peacekeepers had saved at the various kafenas owned by one Dragan Dilaver. Many of them need immediate medical attention. Many UN interpreters are also volunteering to help with communication. Most of the girls have no papers and almost all have either been runaways or kidnapped from different countries.

A New Hunt

Main question at the MEETING this morning: When someone is on the run with a big group of runaways in Eastern Europe, what is the most important thing?

Answer: Cash, papers, passports.

Action: Freeze accounts except one or two, close by where we'll set a trap. STAR Navy SEAL Reed Vincenzio will take it from there.

Everyone's Digging

A deal has been struck with Amber Hutchens and GEM. Details at eleven. Insert grin.

Overheard: T told Jed that she'd found something very interesting about the CIA Project Precious Gems.

Evidence of recent digging not far from certain weapon cache crates: more weapons or...bodies? Stash McMillan has gone to help out. He needs to know, he said.

G.G. = Greta? Calculations showed high probability that it is a male.

Up To No Good Probably

There was some sort of secret STAR SEAL meeting among the one team with whom we at Center here are familiar. I was not privy to this "get-together," of course, but I saw that Reed had rescheduled certain workshops and I was curious to see what was so important that could get a SEAL to postpone work. The reason cited was a stupid one, totally unbelievable, 100 percent B.S. probability.

Mr. Vincenzio wrote that his commander wanted to celebrate his engagement with his core group of SEALs. Haha. Very funny.

I double-checked. Miss Hutchens wouldn't be around those two days either but I found out that she has purchased air tickets to visit her parents. A group of guys together for two days just talking about their commander's impending nuptials? Perhaps our SEALs are discussing what colors and schemes for the wedding...no, wait, they are all going to advise Hawk McMillan about marriage life...hey, maybe they're just taking dance lessons so they could surprise the wedding guests as a group.

NOT.

Oh, my sides....

Info-Brokers Can Be A Pain

Amber Hutchens is reluctant to provide all her sources for information and black market activities. GEM must come up with a compromise or more time will be wasted combing through too many sources in so many countries. I can narrow target areas down to eight cities, but since dealers, black marketeers and other various personalities travel back and forth from these same cities, finding the right crook to facilitate us is difficult. I suggest Jed McNeil step in for some negotiation.
