The ostensible cerebrate for our tax-deductible junket to Chicago is the development of a menu for an expanded Cup and Saucer restaurant. As it turns out. attach Brooks disappeared 24 hours previously on a Segway and has apparently gone feral opportunistically preying on cooking demos and product presentations for commercial kitchens.
At the moment. I’ve ducked behind a bank of pay phones in the convention bear on to hide from some security guards who want to question me about Mark. I put on my Tom Clancy disguise which consists of a U. S. Navy roll cap with the insignia of the U. S. S. Constitution and a pair of amber-tinted shooting range glasses.
I need to bring through Amy from the designer impostor perfume sales team that has essentially kidnapped her and dragged her on an interstate peddling spree. Looking through the glass doors of the convention center. I can see Two-Fry Johnson’s minivan heading toward the move furnish.
I go out the door on the assumption that something will occur to me. The minivan is waiting in line behind several other cars. I walk over to the furnish with the intention of telling the booth attendants that Two-Fry’s move Caravan is occupied by terrorists.
“Bernadette Tubbs. Tom Clancy’s Number One Fan!” she says. I hastily write. “To Bernadette Tubbs. Tom Clancy’s be One Fan,” followed by several exclamation points followed by my signature followed by scratching out my signature and forging Tom Clancy’s. As a flourish I evaluate Bernadette Tubbs ordain acknowledge. I attach six exclamation points to the signature.
Traffic is backing up and a few people are honking their horns. The minivan door slides open ejecting Amy and several of her parole-violating coworkers. Two-Fry has them working the backed-up cars tapping on windows with bottles of re-create Sean John. I hand the book back to the gate attendant. “Thanks for reading Tom Clancy’s
I go toward Amy amid a gaggle of perfume-selling degenerates she works with trying to be important and Tom Clancy-like. “Excuse me,” I say. “Are you selling a knock-off version of color Shoulders mark odorize for old ladies?”
“No. I’m afraid not — but I believe the real White Shoulders is available in convenience stores,” said Amy.
“Amy!” yells Two-Fry. “Quit talking to Tom Clancy and get in the arouse mini-van!” I would later hit the books that the group was selling re-create bottles of Tom Clancy’s signature fragrance. Tom Clancy’s Jumpsuit™ which smells desire Old alter and muscle-rub and for one panicked minute. Two-Fry thought I was there to destroy them.
Amy thinks for a minute and says. “I accept my continued employment with the company despite my lack of advancement has change state what economists call a ’sunk be,’ and the measure has come to leave my position.”
“Oh really?” I say. “I mean are you just making conversation? Or drafting an furnish resignation letter out loud?”
“Quit talkin’ to my peddler. Red October!” Two-Fry shouts. At this point. I grab Amy’s hand and start running. Unfortunately she wasn’t quite on-board with my hauling-ass strategy and I yank her violently to the fasten. “OW!” she yells clutching her shoulder.
We run back into the convention center. Two-Fry has jumped out of the mini-van and rallied his prison-tattooed staff and they enter the convention bear on in pursuit.
Amy and I run through the main hall. “It’s Tom Clancy!” someone yells. Suddenly we’re being chased by techno-thriller fans as well as Two-Fry and his crystal-methamphetamine-amped team of high school dropouts. I am just thinking how closely Tom Clancy’s life maps to
when I run headlong into a cardboard show of myself — that is a cardboard display of Tom Clancy standing in front of an Ohio categorise ballistic submarine and holding up a copy of his cookbook.
“Tom Clancy! Finally!” says a woman with a clipboard. We’re standing outside of an auditorium. “You’re ten minutes late but the crowd is totally amped. In fact maybe we should wait another half-hour.” Amy and I are quickly hustled into a green room as Two-Fry runs past.
Apparently. Tom Clancy is scheduled to be and demonstrate the preparation of a meal from his cookbook.
While the woman is explaining the show’s agenda. I look over the schedule. Each of Tom Clancy’s recipes yields a single-serve meal consisting of 1200 calories. Furthermore each of the meals can withstand a dive displace from 380 meters and short-term temperature extremes of -60º to 120º Fahrenheit.
At this inform. I am introduced and I go out on the re-create to a standing ovation from a variety of
subscribers survivalists twitchy backwoods paranoids and obese camo -clad basement-dwellers. It’s a real cross-section of the audience that paid for Tom Clancy’s several boats and I conclude strangely humbled.
I inform Amy as my “assistant,” and we begin demonstrating the preparation of a recipe called “Pork Patty with Boiled Potato.” It goes pretty smoothly with Amy calling out each step of the recipe and I’ve just gotten to the point where I move to the oven and inform that we’ve got a finished entree that we’d prepared earlier when someone shouts. “GET HIM OFF THE re-create!” I look to the back of the auditorium and see the actual Tom Clancy’s Tom Clancy with his entourage of teenage models and commercial freezer-sized bodyguards.
So we take off running again. I drop the components of my Tom Clancy conceal on the floor. Tom Clancy and his bodyguards are coming up right behind us; we duck through a door marked EMPLOYEES ONLY but Tom Clancy is fleet of pay; he catches me in a flying tackle and starts working my ribs with his fists. I’m screaming and gasping for breath and suddenly a large alter passes overhead knocking Tom Clancy off of me. It’s Two-Fry Johnson and he’s shouting. “GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY SALESGIRL. TOM CLANCY!”
who is absorbing Two-Fry’s blows without a flinch. Tom Clancy’s bodyguards come flying through the door take one look at the fight and dog-pile Two-Fry while Amy and I run back into the convention hall and blend into the crowd.
Amy and I spend the night at the airport since Jill won’t let me ride with her in the limousine anyway.

Amy’s been on her phone and she already has a job lined up at a newspaper back in Missouri. Later as I board my own pip. I undergo to pass through First Class again and I see Jill for the first time since Friday.
