"Will she cooperate with our efforts?" Jersey asked. "After all, I cut a
notch out of her ear last time we met. She might just hold a grudge."

"She's not going to know you all are helping out," Ben said. "You're
going in undercover."

"Come again?" Reno said.

"Your mission is not to protect Osterman exactly," Ben said. "It's more
to find the assassins and either kill them or run them out of the
country before they can get to the president."

"You think that's possible?" Hammerlick asked.

"It shouldn't be all that difficult," Ben said. "The kill team will have
to be in Indianapolis, and will almost certainly be made up of Middle
Eastern types. They should be pretty easy to ferret out."

"If it's so easy, why not just give the information to the FPPS and let
them do the work?" Coop asked.

"Because Mike Post thinks El Farrar may have some inside connections
working with him to get rid of Claire Osterman, and we don't know who in

"You'll go in as one of our medical teams. That'll give you reason to be
roaming around the city of Indianapolis, knocking on doors and asking
questions. You can fake an outbreak of the plague virus there, and I'm
sure most of the citizens will cooperate with you in your search for the
assassins."

Coop nodded, "Yeah, we can say these Middle Eastern types have been
identified as carrying the virus. That way anyone who's seen them will
be sure to let us know."

"That sounds good," Ben said. "I'm going to have Dr. Buck work with you
for a while to get you ready to pose as a medical team. That way you'll
know how you're supposed to act."

Coop laughed out loud. "Acting like a doctor will be easy... just walk
around with a golf putter in my hand with my lips pursed, nodding wisely
and saying h-m-m-m occasionally as if I am in deep thought."

Jersey socked him in the arm. "I'll be sure and tell Dr. Buck what you
said, Coop. And I'll make sure he remembers it the next time we need our
shots."
