Karl and I proceeded to take our walk with no problems that we could see. We had our good night kiss and I headed for my room.
I checked my email and news feed and there was a story about the gymnastics meet being forfeited but none of the details.
The 11pm messages were exchanged and I was soon in bed but not quickly to sleep. That damn car was still bothering me. I eventually dropped off as it was the alarm on my phone going off that got me up for the usual 5:45 roust. I rolled out of bed and got changed and today I picked up my phone and the bluetooth. I was out the door and Aiden and Gordon were there.
"Either of you guys have bluetooth for your phones?"
"Yeah sure."
"Ok Gordon, I want you to do me a favor. Get it out and then while we're jogging I want you and Aiden to be about half the quad behind me and Karl. Keep your eyes open and talk to me."
"I can do that Den. I see what Karl means about you being paranoid."
"Hey after that whole business with Larry can you blame me?"
"Not really I suppose."
I waited until Gordon had his phone and had called me. I went out and started my way around the quad. Karl joined me as I passed his dorm.
"Where are Gordon and Aiden?"
"Hanging back to watch our 6."
Aiden and Gordon came out of our dorm at that point and took up their jogging.
I was looking around at ground level and hadn't spotted anything.
"Dennis, looks like there is somebody on the Admin building roof. Movement only no flashes of light or anything."
I shifted my eyes only to look at the building and did see someone up there, but they could easily have been some kind of maintainance person.
"Keep checking the roofs and let me know if you spot anybody else."
"So far the rest are clean Den."
We eventually finished our laps without a problem and continued on with our usual routine for a Tuesday morning. We were all soon enough off to class and the day wore on until I was done with Historical Effects.
I made my way back to the dorm, while keeping my eyes open. I didn't notice anything so either it was all in my imagination or whoever was getting better at keeping a low profile.
Once in my room I booted the computer and checked my mail and the news feed and there was nothing of interest in either one.
I settled down to do a little work before I was going to head over to the Rec Center when my phone rang. It was Dana.
"So tell me I'm being stupid.....please."
"Oh you're not being stupid Dennis. That plate came back with a federal designator. You will be recieveing a visit in just a few minutes. If you aren't alone get everybody out of the room."
"Shit Dana, what have I gotten myself into?"
"Sorry Dennis. I can't tell you more because I don't know anymore."
"I haven't gotten you in trouble have I?"
"Nothing I can't handle Dennis. You just take care."
Dana hung up and so did I.
Not 5 minutes later there was a knock on my door. When I opened it there was guy standing there. If you looked in the dictionary under tech nerd it would have been a picture of this guy.
"I understand you've been having a problem with your net connection?"
"Yes, and it's been driving me crazy."
I could play along if that's what was needed.
The guy came in and I closed the door. The guy gave me the universal sign for don't speak.
"Well let me take a look at things and I'll see if it's our fault or if it's your machine."
He took out some kind of device and proceeded to move around the room as he spoke.
"We've been having a litle problem with some of the wi fi repeaters but this is the first time we've had a complaint from this building."
He seemed to finish what he was doing.
"Thank you for playing along Mr Sawyer. Andrew Stimson, FBI."
He proceeded to show me his credentials.
"Just what the hell is going on Mr Stimson?"
"Straight and to the point, you've managed to get yourself involved in an on going investigation. Does the name Andros Teramedies have any meaning for you?"
"As a matter of fact it does. He tried to transact some business with a friend of mine. I had my fathers company do a little digging and the end effect was that I told my friend to get away from the guy."
"Then that makes 3 times you've put a crimp in his plans."
"3 times?"
"Yes sir. The bank robbery last week was pulled by some alleged associates of his, as well as the gambling scam over the weekend."
"Better make that 4 times then. He approached my father at one point and was told to take a hike. I take it that was one of your cars that was trying to tail me yesterday?"
"It was. First time for the guy. You have good instincts or something that's for sure."
"The guy on the Admin building this morning, was he one of yours as well?"
"Damn, you spotted him?"
"Sir you might want to check with some of your other agents. A few months ago I was having a problem with a Mr Brown. I have ever since been trying to keep an eye on everything at once. My boyfriend says I am way to paranoid."
"I would keep that paranoia then sir. The long and short of it is that we think you might well be on Mr Teramedies radar now. We'll be keeping an eye on you for a while just to be safe."
"Fucking great. Will I know whom I can trust or do I report anybody who looks suspicious?"
"We'll track any new contacts and have a pretty good idea of who your regular contacts are. As far as you knowing whom to trust hopefully they won't be so easy to spot and we'd just as soon not have you know who they are for both their and your protection. They will have a code word that will be slipped to you by a variety of methods each day. If you want we can give you a panic button as well.
Now what I'll need from you is a list of any commitments that you may have."
"Only things I have at this point off campus at least, are the 3 remaining gymnastics meets and then hopefully the all state."
"Yes we're already aware of those."
"Who can I share this information with if anyone?"
"We'd prefer to keep this whole thing as much of a secret as possible sir. You can tell Mr Holtz and certainly Mr Pershing. Only tell Mr Harris and Mr Bartlett if you feel it absolutely necessary. I'm going to leave you this device. It is a 'bug' detector. Press this button and if the light stays green you're clean. If the light should turn red however, raise and lower your window shade in rapid succession and we'll have someone over here to take care of it."
"You really think this clod is going to come after me?"
"He's been suspected of going after others for less Mr Sawyer. We've also got a team covering your house as well as Mr Holtzs."
"What about my business?"
"They've been under surveilance for some time now. We did know about your fathers refusal to do business with Mr Teramedies."
"So this is an investigation that has been going on for years?"
"Oh yes sir. This guy is slick. We suspect him of a lot of things but we've never been able to get anything to stick. We're currently following up on the bank robbery and the gambling from a few new leads we've gotten through interogation, but it is going to take time to build a case."
"Well then I'll take that panic button. I'm assuming it has a tracker built into it as well?"
"It does."
He reached into his pocket and gave me what looked to be a key fob for a car.
"Please only use it for real trouble. We don't want to blow anybodies cover if we don't have to."
"I can appreciate that. So what's todays code word?"
"Aardvark."
I looked at the guy as if to say "really?"
"I don't make them up Mr Sawyer, I just use them."
"Anything else I should be aware of?"
"Try not to alter your routine, and no unplanned trips if you can manage that."
"And if I do have to take a trip?"
"Try to find some way to be obvious that you are going away. We should be able to pick up on it."
"How tight is the monitoring going to be?"
"We won't be bugging your phone or internet if that's what you mean. Use this email if there is something you want us to know without actually talking about it."
He handed me a card with a popular with a user name with a popular email domain name on it.
"Just keep as cool as possible Mr Sawyer. We might well be wrong about the whole thing. A week or two should tell us for sure."
"Did Assistant DA Blasdel call you when I was leaving his office?"
"Yes sir he did."
"Good I'd hate to thing he was in league with the bad guys."
"Our sources tell us you won't find a straighter shooter then Mr Blasdel. If there's nothing else sir?"
"Not that I can think of."
"Then hopefully we won't see each other again for a long time. Good day sir."
I opened the door for him.
"That should take care of your connection. You have any more trouble get in touch with the systems department."
I closed the door and went and booted my computer. I was going to be a bit more proactive than I probably should.
I did a search for espionage technology. I found a few links that I followed.
I soon enough ordered a few things to help cover my ass and hopefully catch anybody who tried to bug my room. I had it sent to the house so that Mrs Ohanlon could send it on to me without the labels reading from "The I Spy Shop."
I was going to try and be ready if this guy did come after me.
