After Irish entry customs, LC walked out into the receiving passenger area of the Dublin Airport. A tall man with coal black, long hair underneath a driver’s cap was holding up a sign. “Brennan.”

The TSA agent frowned at LC. His job was to search and stop would-be terrorists and the tall, red-headed young man in front of him obviously looking like a typical American college kid. But, LC was selected out of the group of waiting passengers for in-depth examination.

LC woke at 4:30 AM to the sound of his cell phone buzzing. The text message: “See you soon, thank you for trusting me, we’ll be together...” LC tried to scroll the phone. “The message isn’t complete. Probably we’ll be together Friday or Saturday.”

It was pouring rain when LC left the ER Saturday morning. He made a mad dash to his truck, clicking open the door as he ran. “The foggy mess on the windows would make a good writer’s metaphor for my life right now,“ he said to the morning air. He waited till the rain soaked foggy windows cleared on his truck before moving.

The text read: “There’s one more thing for you to do. Please report to Wilmington Health for a physical. Your appointment is for 8:30 AM, June 22. You are off duty that day. Ask for Doctor Zorman. You will sign a release sending your information to O’Neil Milling Corporation; the doctor’s office has the proper address and fax information.”

LC sat in a lawn chair and dozed. He had a scheduled Saturday off. A privilege he got once a quarter. He had polished and cleaned his old truck and now he was sitting on the street in the town of Burgaw at a car show. He had all the statistics on his rebuild, printed courtesy of a clerk at the ER who copied all of his one page descriptions as an exchange for him changing the tire on her car early one morning.

The first of June, LC spent the day running errands, paying bills, and generally doing what needed to be done. At 2 PM, he received a parcel from the Gentleman’s Corner clothing store. It contained a blue sports jacket, tan pants, a white knit shirt, underwear, a belt, and shoes. A note was placed in the package. “Traveling clothes.”

The next day went by in a blur. LC worked his shift and sped through an eventless day in the apartment. He was virtually alone. Caitlin and Betty Jo were out. Mac went in to work early and Murphy’s door was locked.

LC looked at the text message. “Do exactly as I say.” He saluted the phone. “Aye, Ms. O’Neil, as you wish.” Mac and Arthur were eating toaster waffles so LC took advantage of the opportunity to discuss housing.

A package arrived via Federal Express at 9 AM LC happened to be up so he answered the door. “Liam Brennan?” asked the delivery man.
