John woke to his wallet buzzing by his bed. His realtor said the house deal fell through. Apparently some moron came and paid cash as is without bothering for appraisals and inspections to insure the quality of the house. Oh well.
And then there was finally some good news. A reporter from the home called him. "Mr. Smith, after going over the accompanying data you sent to us, we have decided to use your piece discrediting what the Chinese government claims to be the "Q" Document."
John shook his head. He wrote that over 2 months ago, and they were just now able to verify his findings. He was beginning to lose his faith in investigative journalism. No, that's not true. He never believed they were worth the air they breathed. He was, however, surprised that they had decided to publish his work. Not that it wasn't worthy of print. He soundly proved that not only was it forgery, he showed how it was done, why it was so believable to the casual observer, and how the forgery had to have been made within the last 5 years. Handily exposing that various members of the Chinese government had to be behind the plot for either subversive or economic reasons.
Jensen still confused him. He liked the man. Jensen seemed to be transparently honest at times, and then surprised at himself and almost afraid of the consequences. Jensen also knew Latin. John could easily tell be the way the stared at the Bible at the library. The knew his Word and probably had some formal training. Either in Divinity or Theology. Well. john conceded that Jensen could have studied archeology and specialized in the Latin world. Who knows.
John quickly put out more adds for homes to buy. He needed a house. Either that or he needed several offices. His loft was about to be grossly overcrowded.
He contacted the MSU to see if he could get an office there. Unfortunately, since he didn't have a doctorate his chances were really slim. That meant books all over the place. He was quickly running out of time to arrange a good place for his library and computer system.
He traveled to the airport and collected some of his shipment. He wasn't aware of the lenient policy the CCD regarding foreigners and the possession of firearms. He holstered his Ingram Mark 11, and felt a lot better having it on his person. Thirty .45 caliber rounds squeezed out as quickly as a man could draw breath was a clear asset. Fuck those little bunny fru-fru liberals. He was from Texas.
He retrieved his Aramaic collection from his library as he was always needing reference material for translating that particular dialect. After making sure that the rest of his library was secure, he prepared to return to the Moscow State University. Maybe he could get an internship and that could be an angle for getting an office.
