Cantina Valley (A Ben Adler Mystery book 1)
“Now, nearing darkness, he drove back down the hill and pulled his truck onto a patch of dirt, an entrance to one of his neighbor’s fields.
First he called a special agent in Air Force OSI who had worked for him just before he retired. He was asking a lot of his old friend.
His friend Tom answered his private phone with a simple, “Yeah.”
They were both smart enough to speak in generalities as much as possible so their friends at the NSA wouldn’t flag their conversation—despite the fact that the...y were both using disposable cell phones.
“Hey. How the hell are they hanging?”
“Just wonderful. Your Bigfoot friend is loaded. The purchase was over a billion. He paid five hundred mil in taxes on that.”
“When was that?”
“A couple years ago. Last year he made millions in interest and dividends. But here’s the interesting stuff. The guy shows income close to a million dollars from a company that exports mushrooms and truffles.”
“That’s a lot of fungi.”MoreLess
