<span class="userContent">I applied in January to become a member of the <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=59208702261" href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/International-Thriller-Writers-Organization/59208702261">International Thriller Writers Organization</a>.
As I am an indie author, they have a special side category for
membership as an indie author. Only authors with respected publishers
become part of <span class="text_exposed_show">their "Active Members"
list. All through February to April I was sending them stats on sales,
etc. I sent them e-copies of Fair Play and The Perfect Day in February
and guess what? <br /> <br /> I am now an Active Member! <br /> <br /> I am
deeply humbled by this and intend on doing my part as a member to
contribute to helping other indie authors in Thriller, Romance and other
categories get the recognition they deserve! To even think that some
time in September my name will be on a list with Patterson, Baldacci,
and the other greats is just overwhelming to me right now. <br /> <br />
I've been really down lately because of sales not being what I had
hoped, and this is just the thing to help my spirits pick up. It is
awesome beyond belief and a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel
that doesn't seem like the headlamp of an oncoming train. <br /> <br />
Thanks to all who have reviewed my books and I hope that this is able to
keep me doing what I love and that is creating entire worlds where I
can kill people I don't like, fictitiously that is, in horrendously
violent and cruel ways. </span></span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11471649058753637921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966620367377691862.post-86285693876728921992014-06-09T18:24:00.001-07:002014-06-09T18:24:13.051-07:00Help in Promoting Your Book on Social MediaAuthors!

Writers write. Marketers promote. Sadly though, in this brave-new-world of indie authors there are hundreds of new books each day that are being published to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Oyster and more.<br />
<br />
<br />
And each of those books to some varying degree get promoted.
The first time indie author sits at home looking at the numbers that never seem to move on the sales charts wondering what the hell is wrong with the world when his/her masterpiece just doesn't seem to be selling. It can be discouraging.<br />
<br />
The truth is the most wonderful piece of fiction ever written, whether it be romance, urban fantasy, erotica or mystery-thriller may go for years completely undiscovered because it gets lost in the sea of other wonderful (and not so wonderful) works of other authors.<br />
<br />
Take heart writers, even the most seasoned of writers kept writing before their books became hits, and again truth be told, most of us will never become full time writers. That is the dream, that only if enough readers got their grubby little hands on OUR book, our lives would instantly be changed.<br />
<br />
Vegas-trips baby! Ok, that might happen. After all, there has been no better time in history to be an indie writer. There are millions of readers looking for the latest and greatest read and one day that read:
Might.
Be.
Your Book.
But that said, whether you are an indie writer or have had the greats of the publishing industry smile down on you from their heights, YOU are still responsible for promoting that one of a kind masterpiece.<br />
<br />
How?<br />
<br />
The purpose of this little piece is to put together some of the best and worst ideas in promoting your books. And yes, I am guilty of using 100% of ALL the worst ideas. But I am getting better. So here goes.<br />
<br />
SOCIAL MEDIA <strike>IS</strike> WAS KING!<br />
<br />
As of the date of the writing of this article, there still is no faster way to promote your book than social media. However, it is quickly becoming passe as Facebook begins tightening the screws on us all in an effort to get advertising revenue. The organic reach to those who "Like" your author pages is shrinking in single digit percentages. All so you will pay them to advertise to people who don't give a crap about reading your book. It's a fraud. It is an out and out con to pay for advertising on Facebook. Does that mean you abandon FB? Stop Tweeting, twittering or whatever they want to call it? NO!<br />
<br />
Indie authors are notoriously broke. If we weren't, we could pay for those slick ads online. But we can't. So to get at least a minimal impact to find new readers (for free), social media is still your best bet. So how do you promote your books on Facebook?<br />
<br />
1. Find Groups of Readers, Authors and Bloggers. Join them! But don't be an Asshat! What is an Asshat you ask? An asshat is someone who spends 100% of their time promoting themselves and never makes an effort to help another author. If you help others, they will help you. And if they don't, they are Asshats! If you are daily posting a link or ad for your latest book on every f*&^%&* group page you join, then leave as if you were never there, that is being an asshat. (And yes, I have done this before. I don't anymore.)<br />
<br />
Read, enjoy and promote other authors in your genre! They in turn will do the same for you. Be ready for disappointment as there are quite a few asshats to work through to find a real street team and partner in crime.<br />
<br />
2. Attend events that interest you, but for f^&* sake don't create seven events a week, damn, we've all got day jobs and can't be at all those events! PS - If you say you are going to attend, then be there! Share it with your followers, Tweet, post and repost for others' events!<br />
<br />
3. If you expect people to 'like' and 'share' your posts, 'like' and 'share' theirs! It's only polite.<br />
<br />
<br />
DON'T BE A TWAT ON TWITTER!<br />
<br />
One of the essential rules on Twitter is treat others' tweets the way you want your tweets treated. In other words, Re-Tweet! Use your favorites options and "favorite" some tweets. See I didn't understand the "favorites" for the first several months I was on Twitter. I was afraid to choose a 'favorite' because I thought to myself, "what if a better tweet comes along?" So there are no 'limits' on favorites. You don't get like 10 and you have to choose which of the thousands belong in your 10.<br />
<br />
Here's the key. Twitter never stops!<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter whether it is 8am, 8pm or 3am, the tweets come and they come fast! You can't keep up with RT others' tweets unless you are tweeting 24/7 and how is that sequel ever going to be written if you are staring at an endless stream of memes and pithy sayings? Easy, it won't. You need help!<br />
<br />
That kind of help exists in using free tools to help you gain a following. One of those tools I have used with great success is RoundTeam.co which will automatically RT for you. Now, you don't want to RT trash. You don't want to RT EVERYONE! That's ok, you can only RT those people you put into a Twitter list.
Let's say for example, you want to promote other authors works. Great! Put all of those authors into a list on your Twitter page. Entitle the list, Romance, Mystery, Erotica, etc.<br />
<br />
If you write romance, create a list of romance authors on your twitter account, link your free roundteam account to that list and everything those authors tweet will be auto-RT for you! And keep in mind, when you add a new follower to a list, they get a message that you've added them to a list and the title of that list. So please don't name a list, "I don't know where the f&^* to put these people" list. That would make you a twat.<br />
<br />
<br />
A word of caution here! This does not negate your obligation to interact, to favorite, to reply to messages and in general keep up what you are doing now, only with far better results and far less time. Use the 'filters' to make sure you aren't RT conversations or other things you don't want to.
I add everyone who participates in my Promote UR Book Events to that list. So far, everyone has ended up getting 100+ new followers per week.<br />
<br />
Now you may be asking yourself why I want a bunch of writers on my RT list. The answer is simple, who follows writers? Readers. And yes, I have a Twitter list entitled "Avid Readers" too. I have to work my way through helping 100 writers to get maybe ten readers, but there isn't a limit yet on Twitter followers, so I'm going to keep it up!<br />
<br />
<strike>Now what would be better than auto RT and gaining 100 new real followers a week? Easy, setting your posts to FB and tweets to Twitter to recur, weekly, monthly or bi-monthly, and yes even annually. This you can do with Gremln.com. It costs $6.00 a month.</strike><br />
<br />
SINCE THE ORIGINAL PUBLICATION OF THIS ARTICLE, THE MUCKETY-MUCKS AT GREMLN.COM HAVE DECIDED TO NIX THE $6.00 A MONTH PLAN FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS. GET THE UPDATED IDEAS IN THE SECOND VERSION OF MY BOOK, <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/446943" target="_blank">PROMOTING YOUR BOOK ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER!</a><strike> </strike><br />
<br />
That is the extent of my marketing budget right now. It is well worth it.
If after reading this article, you would like to follow me on Twitter, I am @gunnaralawrence. send me a message to be added to the list, you add me to your roundteam/twitter list and we will both be a team in promoting each other and all those who come after us.<br />
<br />
<br />
After doing all this, I do not promise that your sales will increase. (Although a few of my authors on the list did report this to me.) I do not promise that your books will inspire a movie, television show or theme park.<br />
<br />
What I will say is this, it will free up loads of time for you to work your day job, finish that sequel and keep your dreams alive.<br />
<br />
I leave you with these rules for Twitter:<br />
<br />
1. RT<br />
2. Follow back - unless it's a bot or someone you just aren't sure about, and I have plenty of those.<br />
3. RT<br />
4. Interact - You can't auto-favorite or auto-engage others, but the time you spend doing so will be drastically cut down.<br />
5. RT<br />
6. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER pay for followers on Twitter. You don't need ten thousand bots following you. They don't RT, they don't buy books, they don't have fans that will lead to your finding more readers. Bots are the plague. Treat them as such.<br />
7. Favorite - if you like a post, favorite it! If there are a bunch of "Mentions" in a post and you are one of them, "favorite" that mention!<br />
8. Be polite. Are there stupid people in the world? Yes, don't argue with them, ignore them and they will lose interest.<br />
9. RT<br />
10. Build your Twitter lists, subscribe to others' lists and organize your followers and followees.

book/story/poem than they would spending time marketing their work.
Sadly, there is no easy way to get out of the plain truth that if you
want your writing to sell, you; that's right YOU have to promote it. It
doesn't really matter if you published the traditional way or as an
indie author, getting the word out is key.<br />
<br />
And social media is the
way to do it. But for those of you who are doing everything right,
there is still the issue of HOW to use social media to promote your
book. Beginners in the promotions endeavors find every conceivable
Facebook group, page and event and post the same ad for their latest
book on each of them.<br />
<br />
Every day.<br />
<br />
Every week.<br />
<br />
And I'm
guilty of that. When I didn't know what I was doing, I was doing just
that. There's a word for what I was doing. That word is SPAM. And
there's a word the describes perfectly those who do it, me included, and
that word is Ass-Hat. Don't be an Ass-Hat! Here is a plan for you
writers who don't have the budget to pay someone to do it for you, who
don't have the time to be posting, tweeting and hashtagging 24/7.<br />
<br />
I
can't promise sales will result if you do this, what I do promise is a
rapid and continued spurt in your Facebook and Twitter following. The
more attention you get in these main places the better you will be
prepared for the next promotion or the next book. Are you ready? Did I
mention that this is Free?<br />
<br />
First, when you open your Twitter
account page click on the "ME" button. Find the "Lists" tab and click.
These Lists enable you to organize your followers into different
'folders'. Create a list for authors in your genre, create another one
for those in a genre that is not yours. Scroll through your followers
and add each author, writer and poet to that list. Got it so far?<br />
<br />
Next,
open up an account at Roundteam.co (no there's no m in the .co) Scroll
down to find the "Lists" section on your Roundteam page. Use the title
of your author list on the Twitter account and add it to the Roundteam
List page. What will this do? It will mean that every author, writer and
poet on your list in Twitter will be automatically Re-Tweeted. They
will see you RT'ing and recommend you as someone great to follow. You
will get followers. In a period of just over two months, I went from
being under 1,000 followers to close to 3,000 followers.<br />
<br />
Now you
are RT'ing 24/7 even when you only get on Twitter for minutes each day.
Your Twitter following will increase as you add more writers, authors,
and readers to your list. What about Facebook you may ask?<br />
<br />
That's
when we move out of the free and into the per month promotions priced at
$6.00 a month with Gremln.com. (No "I" in Gremln) For $6.00 a month you
can schedule recurring posts to your personal FB page, your Twitter
account, and a Linked In Account as well. Schedule promotions weekly,
monthly, annually or if you must, daily. (Don't do too many of those,
though.)<br />
Gremln will allow you to post, tweet, and more all day
long every day, on multiple social media pages all at the same time. You
don't NEED Gremln to use the RoundTeam, but I highly recommend it
because your auto posts will be RT automatically by everyone on that
list.<br />
<br />
It's exponential growth in promotion which gives you the
free time to write that sequel. Add me to your author list and send me a
note to add you.<br />

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/831380670">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
For those of you unfamiliar with Steven James or Patrick Bowers this book may come as somewhat of a shock. The first book in the series is The Pawn and James wrote four others before giving us this frightening 'prequel' to the series. There really isn't a cliche book review quote that would do this one justice.<br><br>Action? Absolutely! Sleepless nights as you find that bookmark you placed in Opening Moves calling to you from the bedside table, 'one more chapter'! Whether you start the Bowers series with this book or The Pawn, it doesn't matter. Either way you are in for a treat.<br><br>If you remember the Dahmer murders, have a sense of the history of modern serial killers, this book will leave you both chilled and breathless as Bowers takes on the deviously clever antagonists. Yes, there's more than one. If you haven't started reading his work, seriously, you are missing out on a lot.

<b>Review for Sketch of a Murder</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I first started reading Aya Walksfar’s Sketch of a
Murder, I didn’t know fully what to expect. It’s a book with a frightening
premise, not because there is a murderer killing people, but because of the
reason the murders are committed. We’ve all seen the news stories of the rapist
or murderer escaping punishment because of who they knew or who they could hire
as an attorney and it’s something that most of us are truly disgusted by in our
legal system. In Sketch of a Murder, Aya’s character The Avenger, helps open up
the door in our own minds and gives us a peek at the darkness that lies within
all of us. The part of us that would justify the torture and murder of another ‘human
being’. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With characters that are diverse and more than a little
complex, Aya’s book takes us into the investigation and into the lives of these
people. Each member of the Special Crimes Team has a past, be it a lack of
ability to stay within the confines of the law, or the flaunting of the
political negotiations that must often accompany standard police procedure. I
felt I could relate to Lt. Michael Williams’ desire to get at the truth
regardless of what it took to get there. I understood Nita Slowater, the strong
willed female detective with a good heart and a passion for the people in her
life, a woman who won’t take crap from anyone, including her superiors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A great story involving characters you come to care about, in
a struggle against an adversary who seems to be two steps ahead of them the
whole way. It’s an all-round good read for those who enjoy the thrill of the
chase and the twists and turns of a murder mystery.</div>

My childhood was a chaos of poverty and violence. My
grandfather, who was completely illiterate, and my grandmother, who could
barely read and write, provided a way, and the encouragement, for me to learn
to read and write by age 6. Between them and a Carnegie librarian, I began a
true love affair with the written word. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I published my first series of articles in a newspaper at
the age of 14. After that, I published poems, short stories, and articles in a
variety of venues. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2002, the first edition of my literary novel, Good
Intentions, won the Alice B. Reader Award for Excellence. In 2013, Mountain
Springs House publisher brought out a full-length murder mystery, Sketch of a
Murder, the first of a series; a stand-alone novella titled Dead Men and Cats;
as well as the second edition of Good Intentions. </div>

Take a female police sergeant, whose best
friend has recently been murdered when a reporter cared more about a scoop than
a good cop’s life, place her with a superior who carries a trainload of guilt
since his cop-daughter was killed in the line of duty, then add in a pushy,
lesbian reporter. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">

Now, mix in a team of independent, misfit
cops who have managed to tick off their superiors enough to merit being
relegated to the Siberia of law enforcement, the Special Crimes Team. </div>

sexual assault charges. </div>

Blend well and watch the blood fly!</div>
The question is: can these disparate people work
together to save an innocent man from being the killer’s next victim? This is a
character driven murder mystery told from multiple, first person points of
view, including the killer’s.

At the age of 9, my grandfather was murdered, and his killer
never brought to justice. Since that time, I have seen people commit crimes and
walk away due to a technicality, or just having the money to buy the best

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Prologue:
8 months ago</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Judge Bob Maxwell pulled
into his garage more than a little pissed off. It had been a lousy day. He
slammed on the brakes bringing his sedan to a halt with a squeal on the
concrete pad. His blood sugar was dropping and he felt the need for a meal. For
just a moment, he sat in the driver’s seat, engine running. Retirement and
several solid years of deep-sea fishing was a week or so away. He had wanted to
retire with a conviction and ‘go out on top’ but that was not to be. He swore
to himself, turned off the ignition, exited the vehicle and shut the door.
Suddenly, the overhead garage light clicked off leaving him in complete
darkness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Damn.” Maxwell said. The
light usually gave him enough time to get to his door and in the house. He
opened the car door and reached into the dash to click on his headlights.
Navigating his way through his darkened garage was more than a little
dangerous. The gleam from the headlights inside the confined space of his
garage made the shadows dance eerily on the walls. Had these movements of
shadow and light not disoriented him, he may have seen the dark figure step out
from behind him. He did not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Maxwell heard the step
behind him and felt the needle slide into his neck before he could react. Cold
fluid flowed into his blood stream quickly as he turned to see the intruder. He
fell to his knees and glanced up at the face of his attacker. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“What have you done?” the
figure asked him coldly. Maxwell gasped once and fell into unconsciousness. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">ii</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: black;">The figure stood for a
moment over his victim. The white-hot rage that led him to this garage, this
night, evolved into the sobering realization that he had no choice. He bent
over, dragged the frail Maxwell to the car and took the head of his victim in
his hands. With the slightest bit of hesitation, he contemplated Maxwell’s
fate, tightened his grip and slammed the skull into the floor. The hollow
crunch of bone meeting concrete sounded oddly like a melon smacked against a
kitchen counter. Blood flowed from Maxwell’s wound and began to pool around his
head.</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: black;">He had killed before but
this was different. In war, you fire your weapon, sometimes at random into the
area where the enemy is. When your bullet found its mark in the enemy,
sometimes you would see the man stumble backwards and fall dead. At other times
you would never know. </span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: black;">Up close, he was able to
see the life flow out of his victim, able to see his last breath. He opened his
victims eyelids and watched as the pupils expanded for the last time pulling in
the last light he would ever see. He could see his reflection in those dying
eyes. This war he was in now was a different kind of war. And he was a
different kind of soldier. He was fighting a war for justice, what more noble
pursuit was there?</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: black;">He scooped up Maxwell’s
keys, slid behind the wheel and started the ignition. He turned to stare
intently into the face of this man who had failed. He had failed and had to pay
the price. Justice must be done. He left the garage as silently as he had
slipped in. The war had begun and he had much planning to do.</span></i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Day
One</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">5:45am</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Detective Paul Friedman was
jarred out of his dream by the obnoxiously loud buzzing of the cell phone on
his bedside table. He reached over halfway expecting his dream Beyonce to still
be there, she wasn’t. He grabbed the phone, hit the button with his thumb,
“Friedman.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Silence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Paul Friedman, who’s this
please?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Scuffling. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Paul sat up pressing his
ear to the phone, straining to hear.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Heavy breathing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">A gasp and nothing more. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">He flipped the receiver
around to look at the caller ID. It was a call from Glenn Kelley’s cell phone.
Kelley was his good friend and former partner.
The veteran cop who trained him how to work the streets of Orlando,
Florida for the four years before his promotion to Detective. Kelley wasn’t the type to play pranks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Something was wrong.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Paul bolted from his bed
and hit redial. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Nothing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Straight to voice-mail. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">He dressed in five minutes
and was out the door on his way to Glenn’s house, trying to convince himself
that all was okay, but his instincts told him otherwise.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">****</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">7:30am</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Doug Lipton’s mornings had
slipped into a comfortable routine since starting at the firm. He was up by
5:30, spent thirty minutes on one of his exercise machines, showered and shaved
by 6:30. He would wake his wife Sarah and 8 year old daughter Annie moments
later and start fixing breakfast for all of them, and then out the door by 8:00
for his drive to work. Sarah was much less of a morning person than he and
needed a little caffeine stimulation to get started. She took a seat and nursed
her double espresso slowly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Annie was in the shower as
soon as she was up, her shower was always twice as long as Doug's for a body
less than half his size. It was a mystery he never could understand. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Omelet?” Doug inquired. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Sarah nodded sipping more
of her 'energy' drink. He folded the omelet mixture in the pan and flipped them
over gently. Moments later he artfully slid the omelet out onto Sarah's plate
and she dug into the meal with a little more energy than she had earlier.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“So today's the day then?”
she asked not looking up from her plate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Doug nodded, “Yesterday the
jury wanted to look at some final pieces of evidence which don't amount to a
whole lot but we are pretty confident that the verdict would be reached early
today, not guilty, of course.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">She winced. Her mouth
opened as if to speak and then shut quickly, the thought she had was on its way
out and she stopped it. She set down the espresso and looked at the man she
loved with a pained expression. “You know he did it, right?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Doug sighed lowering his
head, “Sarah, . . . I . .I’m not doing this for him, this is my job. I do it
because we can’t decide who is going to have a fair trial and who isn’t. If I
start making decisions like that, then I can’t do my job.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“I know it’s your job, I
just . . Doug, the girls were 8 years old. I feel. . .” She shook her head and
paused, “I feel filthy for wanting you to win this case, and I’m sorry.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">A big part of Doug wanted
to agree with her. Doug had two sides to him, he found it necessary in order to
cope with some of the more distasteful aspects of his work. His human side was
made up of his compassion, his love and what was right. This was the side of
him that wanted to put a gun to the head of people like Jasper Davis and pull
the trigger, twice for good measure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Then there was his attorney
side, the side that had to repress all those images of victims, of the
families' lives that were torn apart and left with missing pieces. This was the
side that got the bills paid, got them a new pool and provided a comfortable
life. This was his “soul-less” side as he fought sometimes on the side of evil.
The side he had to shed as he walked through his front door at the end of the
day. He had to, just to preserve his sanity and at times, he thought, his
humanity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Doug reached out and
grasped her hand, “Sarah, I don't get the choice to defend only innocent
people. I take what is given me and I do the best I can for each of my clients,
even the guilty ones.” Silence came as his soul-less side fought against the
human side. This was a conversation they had had before and more likely than
not, would have again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Remember when you started
at the firm, you wanted to be a Perry Mason, defending the falsely accused,
finding that missing evidence that freed the innocent client. I know you don’t
have the choice as to who to defend, but this one is different, you know it is.
You’re going to win because a cop did the right thing morally, even if not
legally. I can’t help you celebrate that, I won’t and again . . .” her voice
dropped to a whisper, “I’m sorry.” The tears were forming in her eyes as she
turned back to her espresso.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">As the anger welled to the
surface, Doug felt his human side give way as he released her hand quickly. He
pounded the kitchen table with his fists. She looked up at him with more
sadness than surprise and that served only to fuel his soul-less anger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Look around you. What I
do, what I have to do, is what has gotten us the house we wanted, with the life
we wanted. I don't like everything I have to do, but you are my wife and you
are supposed to support me. If I'm going to make an impression on the partners
of the firm, to become a partner at the firm, so that one day I can choose
which cases to take, it's going to be through cases like this one. I can't
start interjecting feelings into this, I can't start doubting what I do,
because if I do, it's over. No house, no car, no pool, nothing! It's my job,
Sarah! If you had a job, you would understand. . .”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">He stared into her usually
sparkling green eyes, now dulled with
tears now wide open and hurt. They pierced through his anger, stripping away
all the arguments he had built up around the reason for defending people like Jasper
Davis. He turned away, he had to, otherwise he would melt and his human side
would take over.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">She was right. He knew it,
but he couldn't, no, he wouldn't acknowledge it. She just didn't understand, he
had to keep his feelings, and for all intents and purposes, his conscience
dulled to do his job effectively.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Trembling, she turned from
him and returned to eating as Annie bounded into the kitchen ready for her
routine breakfast. She grinned widely and greeted her mother warmly with a hug
from which she made a beeline grab for her fathers’ knees, Doug stumbled and
patted her head, “Whoa, Punky. Here’s your usual.” He said, piling a mound of
scrambled eggs on the plate and setting it on the table. Annie saw the
half-hearted smile and the reddened eyes on her mother’s face and her smile
faded. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Daddy, I can’t eat these,
I need the volcano.” Doug grimaced and pulled out the ketchup bottle and
inserting the tip into the heart of the top of the mound filled up the
‘volcano’ to overflowing. “Yay!” Annie screamed and began digging into her
food. “I still think that’s gross, Annie.” He said. She replied in typical 8
year old girl fashion by opening her full mouth and moving the odd food mixture
around. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Annie!” Sarah scolded,
“Don’t gross your father out.” Doug shook his head, removed his apron and put
his tie on. Sarah stood and stared at him, he wouldn’t look at her, not right
now and he knew that she knew that. She cleared her throat and started, “Are
you going to be late tonight or will there be a. . . party?” He paused in the
middle of readjusting his tie, his back to his wife. The internal war between
the desire to yell at her again and the desire to apologize and hold her
closely ended in a draw as he found himself incapable of either. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“No, I'm getting too old
for that kind of thing. I'll be home around 6:00.” He turned to head to the
door and as he did so, caught her expression. Now it was shame that caused him
to turn away, not anger. He turned to
his daughter, hardly able to look her in the eye either. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“You!” he said pointing to
Annie, “you be good today and learn something in school!” Annie smiled and
waved good-bye, opening her full mouth again for effect. Doug walked out the
front door with the stinging remorse of allowing his lawyer side into the home
to hurt his wife. As he punched the unlock key to enter his car, he paused
wanting to return to her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">No, this was something he
needed to wait on, this day was going to be hard enough, she just didn’t
understand the daily self-doubt he struggled with, he made a promise to himself
to make it up to her for his acting like an ass. He climbed into his car and
with the jazz CD firmly in place, started the vehicle and backed out of his
long driveway.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Paul sped the short
distance to Glenn’s house, in the back of his mind he had already decided that
the call was an accidental one and that everything was ok. He and Glenn had
spent four years together at the Orlando police department. They had become
close friends regularly getting together during off-hours to watch Glenn’s
Notre Dame football and Bostin Celtics basketball teams. This last year had
been tough on Glenn. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">They were together when
they got the call about Jasper Davis being spotted near the scene of the little
girl’s kidnapping. LeAnn Baker was the second child abducted that month and had
been missing for a matter of a few hours. The first was Brae Bowden, she was
found two days after her abduction raped and strangled to death. Brae had been
killed within hours of being raped, there was still a chance that LeAnn was
still alive, slim though it was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">An anonymous tip led to
Jasper Davis as a chief suspect. He was seen in LeAnn’s neighborhood just
before she vanished. With even the slightest chance that she was still alive,
Glenn knocked on Davis’ door forcefully and announced their presence. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Whether the muffled sound
of a child Glenn heard came from upstairs or from another apartment, Paul did
not know, but he watched his partner reel back and kick the door in. Davis was
inside filling a duffle bag. Evidence would later show that LeAnn’s blood was
on that bag. The one seized before the warrant was issued. Apparently, a
veteran cop’s gut instinct was not enough for probable cause.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Glenn blamed himself for
Davis’ success in getting a second trial. In some ways, it seemed that he even
blamed himself for the death of LeAnn Baker.
In the months since the trial ended in a hung jury, Paul was promoted to
Detective and Glenn remained a patrolman, and had become more distant.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Paul turned his sedan into
his friend’s driveway, slammed the car into park and jerked the door open.
Glenn’s car was gone, but his wife Becky’s blue Toyota truck was still there.
He punched the doorbell, hoping that she was working a morning shift today. The
door opened and Becky greeted him with a half smile. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“Paul? What’s. . .”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">He watched her smile wither
as quickly as it formed. “Oh my God, did something happen to Glenn?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Paul shook his head, “I
don’t know, I’m hoping this was just a mistake but I got a call from Glenn’s
cell thirty minutes ago. It’s probably nothing, but I wanted to be sure. When
did he leave?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Becky’s hands quivered, “He
left two hours ago. Let me call him.” She left the door open and Paul entered.
Minutes later, she emerged from the kitchen with the phone still on her ear.
“He’s not answering.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Paul reached for his cell,
“I’ll call dispatch.” She nodded. He turned his back to her as he spoke with
the dispatch office. He kept telling himself that everything was going to be
okay, that this would be something that they would all laugh about later, but
he couldn’t shake the feeling, the instinct, that something was wrong. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Dispatch confirmed that
Glenn had missed his shift that began at 6:00 a.m. and that they couldn’t reach
him on his cell. Paul thanked them and turned to face his friends’ wife. Though
he tried to convey calmness, his facial expression betrayed his worry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Becky began shaking her
head as the first tear formed in her eye.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In a matter of a few
moments, Doug would be on Interstate 4 headed for the downtown Orlando
Courthouse. He spent the time on his drive trying to forget about the argument
with Sarah, to get excited about a potential win today, setting aside the part
of him that was completely repulsed by Jasper Davis. Davis was a twice accused
child rapist and murderer who, if it hadn't been for the eagerness of a veteran
cop, who should have known better, may very well have been twice convicted
instead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">He tried to remain
confident and assuring in all of these conversations with Sarah, and tried to
put the thoughts of Annie out of his mind as he read the reports and viewed the
pictures of what this monster did, <i>allegedly, </i>to these two very young
girls. He had to long ago, put the burden where it should be, if just for the
sake of his conscience, on the prosecution to convince the jury of the guilt of
his clients. His handling on the stand of even the most veteran police officer
had made him plenty of well positioned enemies in the legal system of those who
were supposed to protect and serve.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Thanks in large part to his
work, his law firm was being retained by some of the wealthiest criminals and
politicians (<i>was there a difference</i>?) in Central Florida. The firm had
established a reputation of being able to present the basest of individuals as
if they were deserving of sainthood. He fought hard for his clients, even if he
felt that most of them belonged behind bars, or worse. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The scenery of downtown
Orlando whizzed by as he exited I-4 and headed to the courthouse. The familiar
site of 'Waldo' on the corner with his 'will work for food' sign met him at the
corner. 'Waldo' was the name given by the locals to the eccentric homeless man
who dressed almost like the elusive character in the children's books. He could
usually be overheard singing to himself loudly a song no one knew the words or
melody to. Doug gave a gentle nod in Waldo's direction as he turned the corner
and into the courthouse parking lot. The EZ pass beeped as he entered and
followed behind two very slow drivers who apparently weren't that familiar with
the parking garage. 'They have to be new jurors.' He thought to himself. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Once he was able, he zipped
passed the vehicles delaying him and sped on up to the top floor of the garage.
At this time of the morning very few people were parked up here as they
attempted to fill in the garage one empty space at a time filling up one
section at a time and then moving up. The last two floors wouldn't fill up
until about 9:30 and he had his pick of spaces, which he chose to be as close
to the elevators as possible. If he parked close enough to the wall, at least
he was assured that that one side of his car wouldn't get dinged or scratched
by an inept driver, if there was one thing that the city of Orlando had in
abundance, it was inept drivers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">He cut the engine, checked
his tie, grabbed his briefcase and opened the door. The familiar sounds of
idling engines and honking horns wafted up from the lower levels as he smiled
and locked his doors. He turned the corner of the wall into the area where the
elevators were, one on either side of the window overlooking the sparse
courtyard. Checking his blackberry for messages, he punched the elevator button
for down and waited. As he waited for the messages to pop up on screen, the
reflection of a towering figure moved behind him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Before he could react, a
black bag encased his head and he was shoved face first into the elevator
doors. He dropped his phone and briefcase in an effort to grab at the wall to
prevent himself from going down to the ground.. The attacker spun him around,
slamming Doug’s back into the steel doors. Doug fought to catch his breath as a
single massive hand wrapped around his throat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">A rough voice with an
electronic tone asked, “Does it bother you, Mr. Lipton that you are helping to
let a monster back onto the streets of Orlando?” Doug tried retreating a step,
but had no where to go.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">He replied, “Get off of me!
Leave me alone!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">As he turned and twisted
away the hand released him and a loud bang echoed in his ears. For a moment,
Doug thought it may have been a gunshot and he stumbled away feeling himself
for wounds. Through the opening in the bottom of the bag he saw the ceramic
ashtray shattered against the elevator doors. The raspy voice resounded in his
ears, “Leave . . . me . . . alone! Isn’t that what LeAnn said before she was
raped and murdered? Isn’t that what little Brae said before she was strangled
to death? Leave me alone! What about them, do they get justice?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The figure advanced quickly
causing Doug to swing wildly in self-defense and stumble backward onto the
pavement. His back slammed hard against the immovable concrete and the impact
knocked his breath from him. His gasp for air ended abruptly when a large knee
landed forcibly on his chest. A warm distorted whisper came, “Mr. Lipton, I am
giving you a chance to do the right thing today. Do not let them release that
murderer to kill any more children. I will hold you responsible.” And as
quickly as the attack started, it was over.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Doug lay there bruised,
gasping for air and in shock. He struggled to rise, gather his briefcase and be
on his way when he thought he heard his attackers' footsteps returning. He
tried to find his briefcase to shield himself but could not, and with a last
attempt to breathe, passed out.</span></div>

Other books by Gunnar Angel Lawrence
Fair Play<br />
Copyright 2013 by Gunnar Angel Lawrence Publishing.<br />
<br />
What follows is the first chapter of the sequel to Fair Play. If you have read Fair Play the first section entitled, “12 Days to the Perfect Day” is included at the end of that book. Some of the details had to change because in doing some research and using a little more creative license I changed the identity of the bad guy, so minor details were altered to account for what was to come.
The remaining section is entitled, “8 Days to the Perfect Day”.<br />
<br />
Some of the same characters from Fair Play will appear including a couple of surprises for readers who were paying attention. Orlando Detective Paul Friedman, Lynn Putnam, Sheriff Wilson and a few others will be there. Some new characters will be introduced and at least one deceased character will make a splash of an appearance. And remember Jerome Eisman, the smarmy public television reporter? He will land smack dab in the center of the events leading up to the Perfect Day.<br />
<br />
New Characters:<br />
Mica Grant – Orlando’s Crime Scene Unit lead investigator and close friend of Paul Friedman.<br />
<br />
Samantha Quinn – Certified Fraud Examiner and Lynn Putnam’s AA sponsor. Samantha is a divorced mother with an autistic son, Jeffrey. She investigates financial fraud for companies and police agencies.<br />
<br />
Ali The Sand Viper – the mysterious former commander of the Al Qaeda led attacks in Iraq.<br />
<br />
And a new ‘old’ character:
Gary Michaels (Remember Waldo?) – Former POW who spent months being tortured by Ali.<br />
<br />
The Perfect Day is due to be released in December of 2013, (with writers you never know if the due date is the actual due date, so while I hope to be done before November, and release in December, that may not be possible.) This is a more ambitious project than Fair Play with a lot more time covered in the story as there is a whole LOT going on here. So I hope you enjoy the first chapter.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;">12
DAYS BEFORE THE PERFECT DAY</span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ali
stared through the darkened truck at the eyes of the immigrants who had boarded
three hours ago. Upon meeting his gaze, they would turn away quickly, as if
aware of who he and his companion were and what they were doing there. He had
met Maher only the day before, and though they seemed to agree that what they
were doing was the will of Allah, Ali wasn’t entirely convinced of Maher’s
loyalty. He would have to earn a place in Ali’s trust. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
transportation of the southern border into Texas, had been arranged through men
who claimed to be the best coyotes in Mexico. They bragged about their
experience in getting people across the US border without attracting attention.
$8000 per head was a hefty sum, and Ali trusted no one, especially the
infidels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
truck sped across the dry riverbed road with no lights, on this night of the
new moon, no one would see their approach. The drivers would give the signal
when they had crossed over. The goal was to reach the middle of a farmer’s
field ten miles into Texas. The instructions were clear, three sharp raps on
the wall panel in the truck meant they were in America. Two sharp raps meant
they’d been spotted and everyone should scatter. Every face Ali saw seemed to
be expecting the two raps, as if they had tried this once before and failed, in
all likelihood, they had. The young pregnant lady cowered in the corner with
her husband and young daughter. A middle aged gentleman tried not to stare too
long at anyone. The rest seemed to be in their mid-20’s, all looking to escape
the economic devastation that was Mexico.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
truck lurched up and over unseen immovable boulders. Some of the smaller
passengers bounced off their seats and came crashing down in the bed of the
truck. Aside from the grunt of pain in landing there was no sound, no scream
from the injured. The only sound heard was the muffled squeal of the shocks at
each bump. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ali
went over the plan in his head, a plan in place for years and only now coming
to fruition, when the Americans had given up looking for conspiracies born in
Islam in the name of political correctness. He stirred and eyed the young girl
sleeping in her mother’s arms, Allah’s work came with some distasteful tasks,
but it was all for the greater good. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
raps came quickly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Two. </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There
was a pause and the occupants started to bolt for the exit when the third rap
came. They were in America. They breathed a collective sigh of relief and
waited for the final stop that would place them in the US.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Maher
glanced at Ali and nodded. Ali returned the gesture and both men reached into
their coats for the daggers they had hidden from the coyotes. Ali turned and
smiled at the young man next to him, who was happy to know he was in America now.
The young man nervously returned Ali’s smile, but never saw the blade that slit
his throat. Maher moved much more quickly than Ali did and within a minute,
they were the only passengers still alive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
was the darkness that aided them, no one saw the attack coming. No one saw them
move about slicing, stabbing and killing each one. The pregnant lady gurgled
once but her husband was dead before he could respond. The little girl was
easy, she was sleeping on her mother’s lap and would simply never awaken. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They
would wait now. The coyotes would come around back to release them, and they
too would have to die. Ali knew that they carried at least half of the money
with them, and that money would come in handy. He would meet the rest of his
team in a matter of days at the target location. They would teach the infidels
a lesson.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They
would strike fear in the hearts of the Americans. In less than two weeks, the
Perfect Day would begin. What better place for it to start than in Orlando,
Florida?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">II</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lt. Gary Michaels ran. His unit had
advanced on the town located just outside of Bagdad, the well thought out and
planned assault had failed to catch the insurgents by surprise. The firefight
that broke out had killed the unit commander first. The mortar whistled down from
above and landed behind the advancing team seemingly in the very center of the
commander’s position. The boulder that he and two others had taken shelter
behind sparked with each round that hit it.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They emptied their guns in the
direction of the gunfire, but were unable to crawl out from the protection the
boulder offered. Gary watched as each of the thirty-man team died, cut down or
blown apart. Some got farther than others, but none reached the town border.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The pinging of bullets against
stone continued sending shards of stone and sand into their faces. The man next
to Gary reached for his grenade, pulled the pin, and launched it in the
direction of the enemy. The explosion sent a cloud of sand and rock into the
air. One after the other he tossed the grenades.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For a moment, it seemed as if the
bullets ceased, but that may have been the result of the dense ringing in his
ears. The other man ripped another grenade from his belt and tossed it high
over the boulder. Gary felt the blood spray over him before he heard the
scream. When the soldier brought his hand down after throwing the grenade, Gary
saw the man’s shattered wrist where the bullet had struck him. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He collapsed forward grasping his
wrist howling in pain. Gary didn’t hear the explosion that followed, but he saw
the injured man’s head open up as something passed rather easily through his
skull sending brain matter spraying in all directions. Gary pulled the pins
from his grenades and sent them up over their heads. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Get ready!”</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When the explosions began, he and
the remaining soldier ran. Bullets whizzed by, more explosions sounded behind
them, hopefully providing enough cover for them to gain distance from the
battle. He felt the round slam into his shoulder knocking him to the ground.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Gary
bolted upright, disoriented and soaked in sweat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Damn.”
He thought.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With
the noise from his dream still echoing in his ears, he stood up and stumbled
slightly. Every night it was the same damn dream, the same damn noises, the
screams of his fellow soldiers, his friends as they died. It was getting more
frequent that the dreams would come. He hung his head and wept, he just wanted
the dreams, the noises, and the memories to stop.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
cool dew of the morning had settled over his home. Today, it was the hollow
area in the woods behind the 7-11 in Kissimmee. Tomorrow, it may be somewhere
different. The darkness of this December evening had not yet retreated, which
meant that there was still time to get a meal at the homeless shelter. Gary
grabbed his bag/pillow, reached in for his radio headphones, put them on and
started walking.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With
a click, the music began and Gary began to sing. Sometimes, if he sang loud
enough, he couldn’t hear the noises. So he sang, and he ran. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br clear="all" style="mso-special-character: line-break; page-break-before: always;" />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;">EIGHT
DAYS BEFORE THE PERFECT DAY</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She
ran.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
thin blades of the palmetto bushes sliced their way into her calves as she dove
through dense cover, darting around the trees. Frantic footsteps crashed
through the leaves behind her. It was him. If she could just keep running,
until the sun was below the horizon, she could make it to help. His eyesight
was not good in the dark. She wasn’t that far from the Wekiva subdivision and
knew exactly where she could run for help. She gripped the paper tighter,
knowing she couldn’t attempt to put it in her pocket at the speed she was
running. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She
could hear him swearing as he chased her, tripping over his feet and stumbling
just a few yards away. She heard a car approaching on the road below and sped
up. With the dense tree cover surrounding the road, the driver wouldn’t see
her, she had to get down the hill and break through the tree cover to get the
driver’s attention. There was no time to get there. She braced herself for the
fall, crossed her fingers and launched herself off the steep hill. She hit the
ground violently, bouncing off of the sharp, rocky surfaces. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Her
descent picked up frightening speed as she hurtled into the thick underbrush.
Spinning and tumbling, her arms wrapped around her head as best as she could
manage before colliding with the gigantic pine tree. She cried out in agony as
her leg bone snapped easily on impact, stopping her rapid descent.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Blood
poured from the open wounds as she struggled to stand, to get to the road
before the car passed. Her ears were still ringing from the blow with the tree,
she could no longer hear how close he was behind her. She pulled herself up
painfully to her feet and saw the stick jutting out from her thigh. Blood ran
down from the point of entry and she swore she could see the stick quiver with
each pained heartbeat. The wave of nausea hit her and caused her to retch. She
stumbled around the tree and pulled herself through the remaining shrubbery. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Help
me!” she cried, lifting her injured arm as high as she was able and limping to
the road. The car approaching slowed when she fell in the gravel. She shoved
the paper deep into her shirt pocket, she wasn’t sure what it all meant, but
she knew it was important. The driver’s expression was one of pure shock when
she stumbled in front of his car.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Help
me, he’s going to kill me!” she shouted. “Call the police! They are going to
kill people, a lot of people!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
car stopped and the driver got out walking around to her. He kneeled down and
offered his hand. She took it and pulled herself up. The man helped her lean against

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“We
have to get out of here, he’s coming! Help me! He’s going to kill me!” she slid
against the side of the car trying to get to the door. That’s when she saw <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">him</i> emerge from the trees, gun drawn and
she screamed. The flash from the muzzle erupted and the man standing next to
her dropped to the ground clutching his neck.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She
cried as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">he </i>came closer and lowered
his weapon. The words formed in her brain as she collapsed on her wounded knees
and spoke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Fuck

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Detective
Paul Friedman surveyed the scene before him. The car was in pieces on the
embankment below the entrance to the East West Expressway off of I-4. The guard
rails splayed outward where the car had crashed through. Crime scene
investigators had the debris field roped off and were busy snapping photos,
measuring distances and picking up pieces of evidence. Paul had gotten the call
from Sheriff Wilson personally but with the usual lack of detail that Wilson
was famous for.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
glanced at the increasing line of cars building up with the morning traffic as
the usually impatient drivers on I-4 had to slow down to watch the Orlando
police at work. Paul shook his head and walked down the embankment toward the
wreck that used to be a Mercedes M Class. The familiar sight of Mika Grant,
lead Crime Scene Unit investigator met him and he smiled. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Miss

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She
responded without looking up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“It’s
a mess, Detective Friedman. The driver hit the guard rail head on, barely
missed crashing directly on I-4.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
nodded. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“And
I don’t suppose you know why Wilson wanted a homicide detective here, at the
scene of an accident?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She
turned to him. Her brown hair was tied neatly in a tight bun. Her expression
was grim. The stance, uniform and glasses she wore gave her an air of
professionalism commanding respect, conveniently hiding the beauty underneath.
She gave him a terse look and pointed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I
called him about five minutes after getting here. The man behind the wheel was
dead before he hit the guard rails. He was shot in the throat and bled out
probably a half hour before the crash. And this.” She walked to the trunk of
the vehicle and pulled the broken lid upward. They stared down into the trunk.
Inside, the decapitated body of a young girl lay slumped in the corner. The
blood splatter coated the girl’s clothing, the carpet and the lid in a thick
red ooze.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Damn!”
Paul exclaimed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Mika
nodded. “We haven’t found her head, it isn’t on the road up there and it’s not
down here or in the car. She’s got several wounds on her legs, knees and hands
and a branch that penetrated her thigh here.” She pointed to the wood that
jutted out from the girl’s thigh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Horns
began to sound from the drivers less than a hundred feet from them as the
already slowed traffic came to a dead stop. Paul looked up at the line of cars
and shook his head returning his gaze to the trunk. The girls’ head had been
sawn off quite unevenly shattering the bone that connected her skull to her
spine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
sight was enough to make him nauseated. He turned to Mika.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Any
prints?” he asked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“That’s
going to be a tricky one there Paul. There are prints all over the inside of
the car. Unfortunately, the driver’s finger tips were removed, as were the
girl’s. It won’t delay us by much in comparing prints to the victim, but it
will delay us enough. There’s a smear pattern where whoever drove the car off
the bridge sat when the driver’s blood seeped into the driver’s seat. Oh, and
the license plate is missing. Again, it will delay us but not by much.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Let’s
get a copy of the surveillance camera footage from the traffic cams. Check for
any missing persons’ reports for the girl. We could assume that the owner of
the car is the victim, but let’s be sure. Let’s see if we can get a picture off
the vehicle registration number. ” He said, she nodded. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Already
on the way to your office. I won’t know for sure until the autopsy, but it
looks like she was killed before she was beheaded. We found this in her pocket,
I’m not sure what it means but you should take a look at it.” She handed Paul a
plastic evidence bag with a crumpled piece of paper inside. On it was written a
date, eight days from today and the words, “Perfect Day” and “Ali” scrawled
underneath. Paul didn’t know why, but at the sound of those words, a chill shot
through his spine. He was getting a very real sense of déjà vu. </span></div>

Eisman slammed the receiver down on its cradle with a curse. His lawyer had
called with the bad news that his lawsuit against the Orlando Police department
and Detective Paul Friedman had been summarily quashed. There was no proof of
what they had done to him. No corroborating witnesses, and with the entirety of
the city police force on a massive man hunt for Jasper Davis, the urgency of
the matter had trumped his civil rights. He had spent hours in a police cell
with the meanest looking ‘criminal’ he had ever seen. The ‘criminal’ turned out
to be a police officer with a convenient alibi for his whereabouts during the
incident. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
television station had sent a junior journalist to interview him about what
happened that night and he found himself leading his own interview quickly. His
allegations were convincingly denied by Sheriff Wilson and now more than a year
later, there was no recourse but to drop the whole thing. He stood up from his
desk, left the cubicle and stormed down the hall. The staff got out of his way
when they saw his expression. They knew well enough to avoid him when he was
upset. Part of him enjoyed that fear the others had of him, he tried to tell
himself at times that fear was a sort of respect. The sort he felt he deserved.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Jerome
closed his eyes when he reached the water cooler and stood for a while trying
to let the anger subside. He shook his head, snatched a cup from the dispenser
and filled it. The ice cold water felt good as it passed over his tongue and
quenched his thirst. He looked out the window at the seemingly never ending
traffic below. The sound behind him snapped him from his thoughts and he
turned.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Their
trip down the hall ended at the editing room door. Robert cued up the video and
hit play. Jerome scanned the footage and as usual went through his mental list
of everything that he could have done better. The protest had gone off as these
anti-tax protests usually did, with no ‘bite’ his editor called it. Without
arrests or some sort of violence a story without ‘bite’ wouldn’t survive one
rotation. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Robert

yanked open the door to the hotel room and ducked inside. Maher jumped at the
noise and turned to face the door. Ali nodded, admiring Maher’s quick reflexes.
The maps lay spread out on the bed with regions highlighted and circled. Ali crossed
the room over to the window and looked out at the target. Khalid had been
observing the target for the last six months and had notated the deliveries,
traffic patterns and normal flow of people in and out of the building. Khalid
was one of the first six who had been part of the planning. The meeting between
the six and the other volunteers would take place tomorrow morning, as Ali
understood it, there were twenty, and they would need all of them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
authorities already knew that he was in the states. The bodies left behind in
the coyotes’ truck tipped off the CIA that the Muslim leader known only as Ali
the Sand Viper had crossed into the country. They wouldn’t know he was in

to do without worrying about him. He smiled and let the curtain fall back in

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
group responded in unison, “Hi Lynn.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Lynn
Putnam straightened her blouse and cleared her throat shifting her stance. She
thought it would have gotten easier to address her AA group publically with all
her years’ experience in addressing juries and judges, but it really hadn’t.
She saw the eyes focused on her and continued.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“It’s
been 18 months since my last drink, and even though that day was a hellish one,
I didn’t take another drink afterwards. Some of you keep telling me that
eventually it gets easier, I’m still waiting for that day.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Some
of the members of the group laughed. She shivered nervously and looked up at
them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I
drank because my life sucked. It was an escape from pain. All that ended up
happening was more pain. And then more drinking. But I realized something had
to change, because nothing else was changing on its own, I had to change.” She
picked up the sobriety medal she earned and held it for them to see.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“This
is important to me. To keep on the right road. To try to remember that being numb
doesn’t mean the pain leaves, it just festers in your bones. Thank you all.”
She nodded once and left the stage as the applause began. She embraced Samantha
Quinn, the sponsor who had visited her for the first time 18 months earlier
while she was still in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound and a
broken wrist. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Samantha
patted her on the back and followed her to her seat. They sat together as the
remaining members spoke, accepted sobriety coins and finally closed out the
meeting. The members milled around talking amongst themselves. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Lynn
blushed, “I couldn’t have done it without you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Samantha
blushed, “That’s what I’m here for. To help. After all, we’ve both lived
through the husband abandonment issues.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Lynn
nodded, “Yeah, I guess so…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">A
loud crash in the room caused both of them to turn and they noticed the haggard
man raiding the refreshments table. His striped shirt was filthy, a pair of ear
plug cords were tossed over his shoulder, plugged into the radio clipped to his
waist. The metal tray of cookies had fallen to the floor with a clang
scattering cookies and treats across the floor. He whipped around, realizing
that others were watching. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Lynn
approached him with Samantha close behind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Hey,
can we help you there?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
shook his head. She smelled the familiar scent of gin on his clothes, masked
only by the body odor that surrounded him. That’s when she saw the scars,
hideous scars that ran the length of his face over his cheek bones and chin. He
saw her startled expression and hung his head, trying to walk around her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“It’s
okay, you can have the cookies. Take some more if you’d like.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
hesitated for a moment and began gathering the cookies off of the floor and
shoving some in his pockets and others in his mouth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I’m
Lynn, who are you?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
swallowed the cookie, cleared his throat and spoke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I’m
Gary, Gary Michaels. Thanks for the cookies.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
nodded once and left. They watched as he ambled out of the room and disappeared
around the corner. Samantha sighed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“He’s
been here before. I’ve seen him around town. Maybe he’ll ask for help next
time.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Lynn
shook her head, “That’s what I like about you Samantha, you are an optimist to
the extreme. How do you do it?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Samantha
smiled, “I seem to remember a certain injured D.A. who asked for help and
wasn’t sure she could make it.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Yeah,
okay I get it.” Lynn put a hand on Samantha’s shoulder. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Samantha’s
cell phone went off, she snapped it open and she put it to her ear.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Hello?”

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Miss
Quinn? It’s April, Jeffrey’s having a fit, and I can’t calm him down. ”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Be
right there, April. Sorry Lynn, I have to get home.” Samantha bolted from the
room.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Less
than twenty minutes later she opened her front door to hear the sound of her
son Jeffrey screaming in his room. She entered to see April, Jeffrey’s
babysitter, holding his head in her lap. Jeffrey thrashed around on the floor,
arms and legs pounding. Samantha raced to her son’s side and took his
sweat-soaked head in her hands. His eyelids were slammed shut, his mouth open
wide.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“What
set him off?” Samantha shouted over her son’s earsplitting crying.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">April
scooted back as Samantha took over. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“He
was asleep, there was a car backfire outside and he ran out here screaming.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Samantha
shushed her son and began rocking him. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Loud
noises, he hates loud noises. Okay, thanks April, I’ve got it. Can you lock the
door on the way out?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">April
nodded and stood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I’m
okay, April, you did good. Remember, he still loves you, this . . it happens.
Thank you for calling me. The joys of PDD.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I
know. I was just a little scared.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Samantha
nodded. “I know you were. He hasn’t done this for at least six months now.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Samantha
embraced her son and pulled him close wrapping her arms and legs around him.
April gave her a smile and left. She held her son against his frantic movements
and began singing to him. Jeffrey’s autistic fits began when he was two and got
progressively worse when her husband Allen left. In the last five years, the
fits had lessened in intensity and frequency. Occasionally, something would set
him off and it could take her close to an hour to get him quiet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She
sat with him singing and rocking until his spasms eased. This was one of the
easier ones. She would get him to sleep soon, but it would be here more than
likely, on the floor. It made for a long night for her, as Jeffrey didn’t like
waking up alone. Wrestling a strong ten year old was a lot more difficult than
a three year old. Soon, he would be too much for her to handle alone. She
placed her chin on his shoulder and continued singing until his tremors stopped
all together. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Gary
finished the last of the cookies and part of a sandwich he found in the trash
can behind the McDonalds. He settled down in the dirt, leaned against the
sapling there and twisted the cap on the bottle he had bought with his ‘will
work for food’ money. The AA people were always nice, and something about what
they talked about rang true inside him. His life did ‘suck’. He was a damned
war hero, a freed POW, and as soon as the welcome home was over, the nightmares
began. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
drugs helped him deal with the pain of the surgeries he needed after being
released from the VA hospital, the drinking started when the prescription
benefits stopped, it was mainly to help him cope, to welcome the numbness as
opposed to the pain. But that lady was right, the pain was still there when he
awoke. He thought of his wife, his daughter, neither of which stuck it out for
him. He didn’t blame them really. ‘Something had to change’ she said.
Eventually, he hoped, it would. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
pulled the cap from the bottle and took a long swig of the fiery liquid inside.
Tonight, he would welcome the numbness. Maybe tonight, the dreams wouldn’t
come.</span></div>

into the eyes of the insurgents who had killed everyone on his team. One
approached his comrade, the pistol aimed carefully, just to make sure that he
wouldn’t rise with half his head intact. This one then turned the gun on Gary
and aimed. </span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">A voice barked an order and the man
lowered his weapon. The insurgents gave a whoop of victory and began firing
rifles into the air as their leader advanced. Gary twisted, searching for any
weapon he had left. There was no way he was going to let them torture him if he
had a choice. His gun was empty, the grenades were gone. An insurgent had
relieved him of his service dagger, he was wholly and completely unarmed. </span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">His wound throbbed in his shoulder
as the leader now loomed over him instructing the men in Arabic what to do with
him. Gary’s Arabic was less than adequate and he was able to pick up only a few
words. One of those words, was ‘prisoner’. They secured his hands behind him,
stretching his shoulder to its breaking point.</span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">They lifted him onto a gurney and
carried him through the desert to a waiting vehicle. The leader climbed in next
to him, examined his wound, and shouted something to the driver. Gary looked
out the back of the truck at the desert behind them. The smoke from the burning
vehicles and bodies rose into the air drifting over the dunes.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The truck didn’t stop until well
after nightfall. Gary felt himself being lifted out of the truck and carried
down a flight of stairs into a building below ground. The leader of the
insurgents walked quickly beside them. The gurney pitched a couple of times
almost sending him tumbling off only to correct at the last second. The
throbbing progressed to a dull ache that radiated outward from the gaping hole
in his shoulder. His blood became tacky and cold plastering his shirt to his
chest. </span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Gary watched as they passed through
the dim hallway, maybe he could snatch a gun, a knife, something to take his
own life, maybe take a few of the bastards with him before he went. Before he
had the chance to do so, they veered out of the hall and into a darkened room
where they turned the gurney to the side and let him fall to the concrete
floor. </span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">His uninjured shoulder hit the
ground with a crack. The impact jarred the blood clot from the gunshot wound
sending a fresh pulse of blood seeping through his matted clothing. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Damn it!” he said rolling on to

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Each breath he took seemed to burn
as the pain washed over him in wave after intense wave. He glanced around
trying to see anything in the dim lighting. The room was bare, with no windows
and only the one door. The concrete floor clearly had never been swept of the
desert sand that settled in the corners. </span></i></div>

This review is from: Fair Play (Paperback)
"Fair Play" by Gunnar Angel Lawrence
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Gunnar Angel Lawrence created a suspenseful and thrilling crime novel. The mystery was great and I really had no idea who the true bad guy was until it was revealed. There were parts in the book where I thought I knew who did it and then other parts where I thought someone else did it. I was wrong on all accounts. I loved the twists and turns the author threw at me, and any Mystery/Crime lover will enjoy this 4 STAR book!
This book is based around the court case of a child murderer. There were many people involved in the case, whether on the police force, as lawyers, judges, or victims. With a good enough lawyer, anyone can be deemed innocent even though it is so obvious they are guilty. One little mistake with a warrant, and all solid evidence can be thrown out. That's what happened with Jasper Davis, the child murderer. A lot of people had negative feelings towards the case and were appalled that Jasper Davis was getting off. Someone named "Justice" had very strong feelings about the situation and took action into his own hands to make sure justice was served. He wasn't just angry at Jasper Davis...he was also very angry with the cops and lawyers. He felt that any lawyer who could defend Mr. Davis and let him go free without a second thought, was just as guilty. Justice wanted to make sure everyone involved in Mr. Davis' case in a negative way was put on trial...a special kind of trial. You need to read "Fair Play" by Gunnar Angel Lawrence to learn exactly how "Justice" put these people on trial. Learn what happened to everyone, and find out who Justice really is. You will be surprised!
"Fair Play" is your novel with the good guys and bad guys. However, in this novel the line is blurry between the two. Are the good guys really good? What's the bad guys "reason" for being bad? "Fair Play" is a book that switches points of view from several people: a detective, a lawyer, the DA, a victim's father, and the bad guy. I liked the perspective of all the different people throughout the book since they were all connected to the same crime in some way. It was great being able to see inside of their heads and feel their emotions - it really helped in understanding the novel as a whole. I liked how Author Gunnar Angel Lawrence wrote this story overall, and I really liked how he ended this story. I thought it was perfect. I will definitely keep my eyes open for more of his work in the future!

She moved her long chocolate-brown hair to the side, her work tended to get it messy. The impressive bulge in his pants seemed to crawl out before her an animal in search of its prey. She eyed his package with more than a little surprise, it was fucking huge! She gazed up into his dark eyes and shuddered just a bit at their cold, unresponsive stare. She pulled his member out with petite, pale hands, the pale pink of her hand made all the more obvious in comparison to his ebony cock. She pulled gently as it rose to meet her face and she took him into her mouth, gliding her lips over his dark mast. He did not move, and did not respond to the warm moist throat he had now entered.
She moaned softly as his cock reached the limit of size she could take in and expertly guided her velvet soft tongue over and under, teasing his scrotum with her experienced finger. He didn’t move. She slid off his shaft and began sucking on his hairless balls. His dick tensed slightly as she moved her hand softly over his engorged head and took it into her mouth again. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on getting him off as quickly as possible so he would leave and not return. Men usually responded better to this stimulation, at least with a moan or something. But he did not move a muscle.
“Maybe,” she thought to herself, “Maybe at the age of eighteen, I’m getting too old for this and I’m slipping.” She plunged him as deep as she dared inside her mouth and nibbled gently on his foreskin. She felt the slight shudder in his cock and regained her confidence. He was rock-hard now and seemed to plunge himself deeper. He was responding now. With deft hands and more years experience than she cared to think, she maneuvered her tank top off and released her generously perky C-cups. Her nipples hardened in anticipation of receiving a stroke, a touch or a tongue, which at this point, they usually got. She grabbed his firm ass and squeezed.
She pulled his swollen cock from her mouth and began yanking gently with thumb and forefinger under his scrotum. Her smooth tongue traced a line over his balls leaving a warm wet trail. She guided her nipples across his leg as she moved upward, pulling gently on his ball sack with her mouth. She pulled away and gazed into his eyes again searching for some kind of response. There was none. So she smiled. She had her rules of life and this was number four.
Rule 4 ‘Smile, even when you don’t mean it.’ A smile doesn’t mean you’re happy, it doesn’t have to.
His hand disappeared behind his back, she tensed just a little, waiting for him to grab her and throw her on the bed to fuck her. Or maybe he was going to begin caressing her breasts causing her nipples to harden even more. Or, she thought, maybe he was into weird shit and wanted to fuck her tits. She never did quite understand that, but the man with the money is the boss. But no, his hand returned from around his back and held a Glock 17. He pressed it firmly against her forehead and spoke the first words she had heard since they entered the room.
“Suck this, whore.”
