“Coffee any better?”

“Not really.”

“Did you see this?”

“Prominent Lawyer to Review Spying...2005 to 2006...14 month...Governor...oh, right, the surveillance. It is strange. I wonder who they were really after.”

“Probably the only group in Maryland who isn’t complaining to their lawyers right now! What a litigation feast this is going to be! Interesting strategy...look for whoever DOES NOT get up and complain...have to write that down...”

“No, I mean seriously, do you think the Governor of Maryland was looking for Philip?”

“Why? Philip is no secret. The U.S. Government looks upon Philip exactly the way they look upon UFO’s and Area 51...you want to believe it...knock yourself out. No. 2005 to 2006, we had our hands full at home. We weren’t operating any teams on Earth at the time of the surveillance.”

“And Philip was living in the woods in the park on Kent Island?”

“And the streets of Annapolis...which is weird.”

“How so?”

“If you look at the pattern of the Governor’s efforts, in classic intelligence terms, he was creating a green zone...a corridor of protection around something. He was, rather desperately, weeding through groups that might penetrate this zone of protection. When you draw it out, it becomes obvious what was in the center of the safe zone.”

“What?”

“Philip.”

“WHAT?!!!!!!!!”

“And through association, all of us. No, the surveillance in Maryland from 2005 to 2006 wasn’t being done against us...somebody was PROTECTING us.”

“From who or what?”

“Good question, but, since technically, though He is God, Philip is a native born American citizen, I guess that in this case, the Department of Homeland Security was doing exactly what its supposed to do.”

“Protecting our God, the creator of our universe...our God, is an American citizen?”

“(DEEP SIGH) Hadn’t thought of it that way.”
