A Mission with a Difference

Epilogue

"Percy," warned the voice.

"Oh, yes. I talked to all of them except, well, you know…"

"They didn't suspect did they?"

"No. They were very helpful, respectful… not what I had expected at all. The confidence man who goes by the name…"

"I know who they are."

"Ahem, yes. I took notes during the trip but I'll have to have them redone legibly and I'll have them to you…"

"But that means…"

"Then you better get busy, hadn't you. I want that information."

"Then you can have your other notes written up with your photographs." A smile came through in the voice as he added, "But I want the first copy signed by the author."
