cell shut then uses portable thumb drive tocopy Pamela’s POV file off desktop. He laughs, hardy. “POV, pointof view. Good girl, Pamela, keep dropping those bread crumbs,honey. I hunger, too.”

Burn U Breakfast Bar. 11:30 am.

Time’s up! Librarian’s going to be searchingfor laptop in Pamela’s hand…well, sitting on top of food table. Hersearch for bogus words: BOA, CIA BOA doesn’t supply anythingimportant to her brain cells or further investigation.

Therefore, her only real clue is two propernames: Ashley & Thurston Slanton. She can’t use this laptop toaccess Internet blogs. She can’t stay here, either. She has seenPreston & his FBI car fly dangerous through the intersectiontraffic light heading to computer center on 9th Avenue and 15thStreet from her work ID trace. Another resource gone!

She stands, swiftly & trots, slowly tobathroom for refreshing. Empty! She stares, studiously into mirror.Baseball cap covers, partially face and black hair very well. Shetucks, lousy long ponytail down vest in back hoping to fool Genevaor Preston if they cross her path, accidentally. She thinks,quickly of chopping off her only black wavy hair. She lacksinstrument of scissors and doesn’t have time to find, acquire &perform that deed without being noticed by other store employees.She washes, cleanly hands then leaves bathroom heading out doorwithout laptop.

This is Birmingham, 10th worse city forcrimes, robbery, thievery and other serious incidents. In less than30 seconds, that poor laptop will be gone along with cops andGeneva chasing their new stupid owner. Pamela giggles, lightly.

When Geneva finally acquires the hardware,she won’t find nothing, Pamela isn’t leaving much of a hot dustytrail. She only wants Geneva pondering Pamela’s wasting her timesearching the code word: BOA.

Instead, Pamela’s real investigation workbegins. She’s going to find Ashley Slanton, first name on CIAsecret list. For that, Pamela needs another computer and access tothe library archives.

She walks, nervously to yellow taxi cab whiledriver hangs near hood. She’s located in one of the most popularscenes in Birmingham, Southside. People, visitors, students &families enjoy restaurants, carriage rides and starry sights ofBirmingham’s most frequented tourist attraction. Therefore, taxishover on corners for prospective paying customers.

Pamela directs cabbie to library in Hooverabout 12 miles drive, South. Hoover has got the best archives forback jumping into past looking for Ashley Slanton.

Time: 12:00pm. Birmingham Airport.

Preston speeds, illegally using his bluelight into street parking at airport. He gallops, swiftly intoairport lounge near security gates & parks, deeply faded bluejeans in one of the smaller cozy sofas for privacy then places,carefully tiny earphones of iPod bombarding his ear wax. Heconcentrates best when his inside environment is shutout from noisydistraction like people talking and walking around airport terminallooking for flights. Secondly, his favorite country song relaxes& focuses, totally his active mind on the problem at hand.

Preston doesn’t give a hoot about trippingonto Pamela, first. She’s not here. She’s not coming here. She’ssomeplace else. Her POV file he ripped from Burn U computercontains clues to her next move or maybe, her whereabouts for himto figure that out. He grins, toothy.

Preston plugs, carefully thumb drive into hislaptop & reads, carefully the first face page of POV file.

She has copied each Internet face page using“Ctrl C” command and then pasted information with “Ctrl V” command.Some of the data is blurry but readable and can’t be re-copied orreformatted without totally destroying it based on her rushed workusing her work ID at campus computer center terminal. Not good!

Preston re-reads first page of filerepresenting IPAM protocol. That’s doesn’t make any sense. Heconcludes, finally this particular page is garage left over fromher importing data files of hidden clues.

He decides, quickly to start at bottom offile & scrolls, swiftly down to last page of content. He sees,clearly her scheduled and paid trip from Birmingham, Alabama, planetransfer in Atlanta, Georgia then landing in Paris, France.

“Jesus!” He stands, swiftly & catchesfalling laptop from knees as earphones along with iPod drops,steady to carpet. “She’s going to fly to Paris. That’s themessage.”

His thumb presses, accidentally up arrow asscreen flows in that direction. Eyeballs catch, quickly her secondscheduled and paid trip to London, England. He re-seats on edge ofsofa & stares, studiously at screen holding hand palm overlight speeding healthy heart organ calming his mind & hisbio-rhythm. “That’s not the hidden message. Both trips are here.She’s not fleeing. Pamela, you just gave me a freaking heartattack.” He sighs & breathes, deeply then presses, gingerlydown arrow to bottom of folder verifying both overseas travels fromBirmingham. He chuckles, lightly. “A ruse…for me or Geneva?” Heshakes, sideways skull. “Not for me. She’s not coming here. That’sthe first message. What else ya got, Pamela?”

Preston eye burns laptop for next subjectfrom Pamela’s message. He sees, clearly her order and payment offour tours at four different famous sights in both Paris andLondon. “Definitely a ruse for Geneva.” He chuckles, lightly. “Andclever…expensing trips on Geneva’s personal credit card.” Prestonhas never heard such ugly language from a lady but Geneva ain’t nolady.

Preston scrolls up arrow & verifiespurchase of evening gowns and accessories. “Okay? I got it. Nextdate, we go dancing but I got a feeling that’s not your real secrethere. There must be some kind of encrypted cyber space messagehere, Pamela. But, I just can’t figure out what you’re trying totell me, honey.” He sighs & breathes, deeply.

He scrolls up arrow to next page showing theproper name: Geneva Lassater. He pauses, dramatically & snorts,heavily. “Our favorite person, right, Pamela?” He studies,observantly page. Electronic copied & pasted one full pagelength of Internet contents with varied categories of GenevaLassater….correction. Only highlighted various nouns representsGeneva shown in Geneva Conventions referring to the Fourth GenevaConvention of 1949 for forcing Germany to pay the Allies after WWIIand other useless junk on three more Internet pasted pages infolder.

“This doesn’t help me, honey. What does thismean?” Preston whispers, softly. He leans, deeply into sofa &replaces, slowly music pod into ears. He closes, slowly eyeballs& controls, steady his breathing trying to concentrate onPamela and her selected meaningful Internet postings.

He opens eyeballs, slowly then stares at nextpage containing separate highlighted “Lassater”
