This sixty second chapter takes place thirteen hours after the action described in "The Raid". This is the second and last excerpt from my novel, which I hope to finish before summertime 2002.

Thank you for flagging me.

T'is very well written.

Methinks if the rest of the novel is as good as the sample, you may sell very well.

Good luck!

I only saw one problem, Alvin is a Bud man (serves him right).

And nothing would make me go out and buy a sniper rifle faster than someone assaulting my family. Oh wait a minute, I already have one.

I said that for the moles...

It's a good read Travis McGee. Even though I think I know what's coming next, I can't stop.

Honestly it's a hot topic/concern and your story hits home.

Am I a bad guy for seeing the oldman as a hero?

When I was in the army in 1974 there was a whole platoon of Puerto Ricans next to our platoon. They couldn't speak english, but when I held a playboy out the window and yelled mucho machachas, they knew what I was talking about.

I'm not saying anything bad about Puerto Ricans, they got screwed by the U.S. pretty good, when in the early 1900's America passed the law there that said unless they owned over 500 acres they couldn't vote.

There were plenty of other nationalities being trained, besides all of the ones we train in their own country.

It will be hard to know what we will be up against. I expect them to be wearing our uniforms and no baby blue helmets, to keep us confused. And all the DOT buildings and weigh stations on the interstates to be used as check points. That will insure that we can't congregate in a trouble spot, such as Klamath Falls.

Does anyone know if those emergency space blankets hide our body heat from satellites?

Just curious.....

?Brad, I?m sorry I didn?t tell you, but I?ve got a pistol with me.?

Made is sound like ?Brad, I?m sorry I didn?t tell you, but I?ve got the clap.?

Oh, that's not so bad; it's treatable. Good thing you don't have herpes, though.

If you're FReeping, you ain't writing...
