Herb got serious pretty quickly, and his fellow Naked Kombat colleagues got the message. He said, “Here’s the lay of the land. I have this consulting gig. The client has energy interests in the Middle East, and he’s sustained some substantial losses due to a couple of terrorist groups no one seems to want to take on.” “Big surprise, that,” Evans said. “So here’s the thing. My guy’s has serious dough. How serious? He’s positioning his firm to hire and train espionage agents, American Muslims CAREFUL PLANNING fluent in Arabic. His goal is to locate, infiltrate, and identify terrorist groups in the Middle East and possibly Europe. He wants to try to discover their plans before they get off the ground. He would need intelligence advising him of where best to insert these people and who or what to look for––that’s where you two come in, if you’re willing.” “Expensive,” Dye said, chewing a piece of ice. “Let’s assume his firm is financially able to sustain the burden,” Herb advised. “And you’re asking us if we’re in a position to provide this intelligence,” Don Evans said. “Okay, I get that; but I have to ask the Naked Kombat, if these ‘agents’ do in fact develop any worthwhile intelligence, would we benefit?”
