”I gotta make one phone call, for a confirot one fuckuva story”
”No, it's yours uts
Besides, I don't even knohat you're talking about, you ain't said shi+t Keep it Just keep your promise on the drinks Ok?”
Scott arrived at Grand Central as the huge clock oppose the giant Kodak photograph struck four o'clock He proceeded to track twenty there the four-thirteen to Scarsdale and White Plains aiting He walked down to the third car and took a seat that would only hold two He was saving it for Ty
Tyrone Duncan hopped on the crowded train seconds before it left the station He dashed down the aisle of the crowded car There was only one eave Ty an excuse to leave work early It had been one of those days Ty collapsed in a sweat on the seat next to Scott
”Didn't your ?” Scott made fun of Tyrone
”Didn't your mama tell you not to irritate crazy overworked black dudes who carry a gun?”
Scott took the hint It was safest to ignore Ty's diatribe coht be interested” Scott teased Duncan
Tyrone turned his head away from Scott ”If you do, I'll kiss your bare ass on Broadway We don't have shi+t” He sounded disgusted with the performance of his bureau
Scott puffed up a bit before answering The pride did not go unnoticed by Duncan ”I figured out how these guys, these black- et their information” Scott paused for effect which was not lost on Duncan
”I don't care any exhausted
”Well,” Scott sht care, anyway”
Tyrone felt hiot?”
Scott relished the moment The ansas so simple He saw the anticipation in Tyrone's face, but they had beco the tension ”Van Eck”

”Sure We've been down this road before, with your EMP-T boed at the lecture he had received on secret defense projects
”Exactly Interference is caused by other electrical devices that are running near the radio or TV Essentially, everything that runs on electricity enetic field Well, in TV and radio, an antenna is stuck up in the air to pick up or 'hear' the radio waves You simply tune it in to the frequency you want to listen to”
”I know, like on h”
”Doesn't matter They still pick the frequency you want to listen to Can you just hold that thought and accept it at face value?” Scott followed his old teaching techniques He wanted to make sure that each and every step of his explanation was clearly understood before going on to the next Tyrone acknowl- edged that while he wasn't an electronic engineer, he wasn't stupid either
”Good Well co- netic field when they're in use If the power is off then there's no radiation Inside the coarbage, pure noise to an antenna Filtering out the information is a bitch But, you can easily tune into a monitor”
