GREEN WITH FRENZY 

Don't put your hand on the chopping

block, jeez, let alone your head! In

1968, remember, when you were working

with the East Germans  -  remember that?

They're still looking for people like you,

so be careful. Stasi never die, they just

move to a different place. I'd bet your

kids don't even know what a Stasi was.

-

I got off the bus at the next stop. It was

near to Columbus Circle, so I went to

the Apple Store to buy some new 

speakers; tiny little things that could 

be easily concealed. I had to be ready 

for anything. Then I walked along

Central Park South to get to the shops

at Time Warner. There's a bookstore 

upstairs, at the rear, and that's where

the stuff was hidden. In the Travel

Section, between New Orleans and

Natchez. If they have any books on

Natchez? If they don't I'll just have to

dig. Noting else I can do. They said

it would be there somewhere.

-

Now I have to take a leak. I hate these

big-deal bookstores; there's always

someone dicing you  -  following you

around like a criminal. You, not them.

And if you meet them, they get all

innocuous, and won't hardly talk to

you. Who's got something to hide, 

him, or me? Dumb question.

-

I think he's gone away now, and I've

found what I was seeking anyhow. It's

bigger than I figured for, but I can keep

it easily concealed. I can say it's part of

the speaker package. They won't look.

-

Oh, shit! There's Heimler! What's he

doing here? He coming my way! And

he's got a gun! What the fuck is now

going on? [Bam! Bam!]. He's got me!

Oh! Oh! Ooohh...thud.
