Chapter Twelve

THE LIST

Cole and Aaron stopped at the ski bus parking lot at the bottom of Big Cottonwood Canyon and opened the sealed manila envelope. There were two copies of the hand written “list.” Cole handed a copy to Aaron and started to read. Attached to the handwritten pages were clippings from the newspaper and copies of police reports. There were 6 people on this first list. It took a good half hour to go through the entire list from start to finish. “What do you think of our first list,” asked Cole.
“My God, I had no idea that some of these people were so corrupt. I don’t recognize most of these people, but a few of them I’ve heard off. The amount of criminal activity of each is staggering. How can these people walk around free without being thrown in jail?”

“That’s our job, to remedy the situation. I guess it only makes statistical sense, but I’m surprised that there’s a woman on the list. Even thought we both think we know who our contact is, I guess we should not use his name, so shall we call him Mr. X?”

Aaron said, “why not, it works for me.”

“We have a week, shall we study the list and talk about them each day at lunch. The preparation time will be easier when we don’t have to work around our jobs.”

The next day at lunch, “Did you get a call about a job interview?”

“Not yet” said Aaron.

“Then I’m sure you’ll get a call this afternoon. I got a call this morning. My interview is at 4 PM today.”

“These people don’t mess around. It appears that the mechanics are all in place just waiting for us,” said Aaron.

“We have a few minutes, lets at least go over the list,” said Cole.

#1 Charles Poulson

Occupation- Real estate development and home construction. His managers all speak Spanish; all labor is done by illegal aliens. 8 accidental deaths have happened on the construction sites. He always has a high turnover of workers and constant complains of bounced checks and paying workers for less than worked hours. Investors have been brought in with promises of high profits. These investors make a deposit and sign a contract where they are to receive a percentage of profits. Poulson buys the building lots and sells them back to the investor at a huge profit. Construction draws are structured so that most of the profits are sucked out during construction. Usually the investor ends up with a house that may or may not sell for a profit. Poulson walks away with a nice profit on each home, while the investor, if he is lucky, usually loses $5,000 to $10,000 on the home before he can sell it.

Poulson’s first wife disappeared several years ago. A $1,500,000 life insurance policy was paid to Poulson 1 year after her disappearance. His second wife has been admitted to the emergency room at the Provo Hospital numerous times. “Causes of injury are falling down stairs, and tripping and falling over landscaping.” The injuries are getting progressively worse. There’s a large life insurance policy on her. He has been investigated numerous times and in each case it was thrown out for insufficient evidence.

On a personal note he goes bar hopping 2 or 3 times per week looking for 1 night stands. He loves fast cars, boats and women. He also likes to fish and hunt. He doesn’t drink a lot, but his hunting parties are legendary for drunkenness and parties with female invitees. Hunting comes secondarily if anyone feels good enough the next morning.

#2 Rhonda Robertson

Occupation- housewife. She is an exceptionally attractive woman. She has married 6 times. In every case her husband dies and leaves her everything. Life insurance policy payouts have totaled $10 million dollars. Other assets received total much more. Husbands have died from freak accidents as well as “natural causes.” Police have investigated these deaths but have not uncovered any evidence of wrong doing. She is now looking for husband #7, preferable a rich older gentleman in poor health.

#3 Harry Trong

Occupation- Real Estate Development (Drugs). He is the drug kingpin for the intermountain area of Utah, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico & Wyoming. He is a heavy contributor to both Democratic and Republican political parties. He wines and dines with the movers and shakers. He’s on a first name basis with the governors of these 5 states. He pays off corrupt police officials in the major cities of these 5 states. Multiple murders of people within and without the drug trade can be attributed to him, but nothing can be proven. His headquarters are in Salt Lake City. He takes week long vacation/business trips to Lake Powell in a house boat. He may be untouchable. His organization may be his weak link, 2 of his distributors have died in the last few months.

#4 Oboma

Occupation- Owner/Operator of a convenience store. Terrorist in hiding. He works for a terrorist network headquartered in Afghanistan. He’s in the country legally and his connections and terrorist training activities have never been proven in court. Any witnesses found would not testify. An undercover informant was set to testify against him until he disappeared. The case was thrown out. He appears to spend most of his time in his store. He switches clothes and disguises himself as a customer and leaves for unknown destinations. The police have tried to follow everyone who comes to his store that is his general height and weight, but have never been able to come up with a match. A large number of Arabic people frequent the store. There is a 95% probability that he has a training camp somewhere in the mountains of Utah, but police have not been able to find it.

#5 Judge George W. Cramer

Judge Cramer exemplifies all that is wrong with the American Legal system. He is extremely lenient on all law breakers. Where any other judge would sentence the criminal a long prison term, he will give them a 1 year suspended sentence. Rapist, murderers, and drug dealers all have been released on their own recognizance time after time. He believes that no criminal is beyond salvaging. The criminals that he releases go on with their murders, raping, and drug dealing as if nothing has happened. He has made the police and justice system in Utah a mockery to the American legal system. Efforts to remove him by the police and judicial systems have been thwarted at every turn. He’s in an elected position and his election is funded by the ACLU, among other less well known underworld people.

#6 Billy Ray Thornley

Billy Ray Thornley works in construction whenever he can find work. His real occupation is a pedophile. Most of his money is made on the internet from child porn sales. The police have seen pictures of all his 6 kids, aged 3 to 16 on the internet, but the money goes through other people and so far it’s untraceable back to him. It doesn’t make any difference to him if it’s the neighbor kids or his own. Somehow he always hides all evidence and so far has not been charged with anything. The Children’s Justice Center have interviewed his children, but his kids are so scared of their father they won’t say anything. His 16 year old pregnant daughter, probably by him, has disappeared. Billy Ray said “she’s with family in Arkansas.” He refuses to give the police any other information. His home address was listed in the records attached.

NEW JOBS

Cole said, “It may look a little weird to the girls, both of us quitting our jobs at the same time and going to work for the same company with a huge increase in salary. Before that first meeting with Mr. X, I told Jan that I thought it might be about a job. How about if I tell Jan that when I was interviewed, they asked if I knew anyone that I would recommend for a similar position covering a different area?”
“OK, if Rachel asks, that’s what I’ll tell her.”

“Let’s go back to work; I have that interview at 4 so I will have to leave early. I can’t get in too much trouble since I’m giving my notice tomorrow. Are they going to fire me?”

Aaron had a message waiting for him when he returned to work. His meeting was at 4:30 PM right after Coles. The funny thing was that both accepted the job offer! Next morning both went to their bosses and resigned. Cole’s boss told him how sorry he was to hear that he was leaving and said that he appreciated his willingness to stay for 2 weeks to help ease the transition to another person.

Aaron’s boss also thanked him for his work and then said, “Our policy is to pay you for the 2 weeks that you’re willing to stay and help out, but as of right now, you have to empty your desk of personal items and I’ll have security escort you out of the office.”

Aaron was elated and hurt at the same time. He was elated because he could get busy in the new job, but hurt because he was being treated like someone who his former boss couldn’t trust. He understood that some people would do anything they could think of to hurt and sabotage the company before they left, even if they quit like he was doing. He was also hurt because he felt he was doing a good job and his leaving would be easier on his replacement if he stayed on for the 2 weeks.

Aaron told his boss, “When you have put someone in my job, I’m willing to answer any questions for the two week period.”

“Thanks, we appreciate that. I wish I could have you stay on and help, but I can’t fight company policy,” said his boss.

“I was interviewed for a new job today and I told them I would take it,” said Cole to Jan when he got home. “It’s a lot more money, better benefits, and flexible hours.”

“Is it the same kind of work or what?”

“No, it’s completely different; I will be in sales. There will be some traveling, but it will work out great,” said Cole enthusiastically. “I gave my 2 week notice today.”

“A lot more money, how much more money?”

“It will be about double what I’ve been making. I figure that we can afford to move to a new house if you want.”

“What about my job? My maternity leave gives me 3 months after the birth?”

“It’s up to you, we don’t need the money. It’s your decision. I would prefer you stay at home and be a stay at home mom.”

“I’ll call my old boss and tell her I won’t be coming back to work. I wanted to stay home with the baby but I thought that we needed the extra money.”

“We need to find a bigger house; we’re going to be a little crowded here. Please don’t feel like we have to find another house today or by the end of the week. I figure that we should look around and if we can’t find one that we like in the right location, we could build a home.”

“This is even more like a dream come true. I don’t deserve this!”

“That’s crazy; you’re the most deserving person I’ve ever met. And besides that, you’re my wife. If you can put up with me, you’ve earned a lot more than you’ll ever get!”

Aaron had a similar reception when he told Rachel and Jamie. Jamie had become an integral part of the family. Church members were laughingly accusing him of having 2 wives. To that accusation Aaron would only say, “I wish.”

Like Cole, Aaron told Rachel “with the new job and the increase in income we should think about buying our own house.”

Rachel screamed and yelled and danced around the room then she hugged Aaron, “I love you so much. I never dreamed that we would ever be able to buy a house. This is all so perfect!”

“I’m going to be traveling out of town on the new job. Rachel and I haven’t talked about what I am about to ask you Jamie, but I like having you here especially when I have to be out of town, I feel so much better knowing that you’re here with Rachel.”
“I couldn’t agree with Aaron more. You have a home here with us for as long as you want.”

Janie had been feeling kind of like a fifth wheel. She knew that Rachel, her cousin, would always do anything she could for her, but she didn’t know if Aaron felt the same way or not. With the unprovoked feeling of acceptance and genuine gratitude from Aaron, she ran to both of them and they had a group hug. They stepped back and the three of them all had tears in their eyes.

“What exactly will you be doing,” asked Jamie?

“It’s a sales position but I don’t really know exactly yet, I’m going in to the new office tomorrow. I wasn’t expected for 2 weeks but since it’s a policy of the old company to cut anyone loose when they give notice, I’ll go in early. Did I tell you that Cole has also been hired? “We have the same title covering different territories. I don’t know what territory we both will have, but I’ll know more tomorrow.”

Rachel said, ‘that sounds kind of weird, best friends getting hired at the same time.”

“You’re right, Cole interviewed with them and they asked if he could recommend anybody and he put in a good word for me.”

The next day at lunch Aaron told Cole, “You’re not going to believe this. It’s a real company. There is some kind of advertising campaign going on and the telephone is ringing off the hook. We’re in the position of Sales Managers. The HR department is screening, hiring, and training people. We’ll receive reports of what’s happening and make an appearance from time to time. We’re in the middle of something that has taken an enormous amount of planning and money. Mr. X didn’t tell us much about what kind of organization we’re becoming a part of. I can’t tell if the company was designed to provide a cover for us to go about cleaning out “Rabid Dogs”, or if Mr. X and Gleason took a company and created positions in sales where we would be hidden. In either case, I’m excited! We also have a motor home to use in our sales efforts. It’s loaded with everything including bullet proof Glass and armor around the chassis. It has everything a person in our position could possible want and some things that I for one had not thought of.”

“Aaron, what are you talking about?”

“In our new line of work, what kind of equipment might we need that we don’t have already?”

Cole thought for a minute and listed:

We have our martial arts training,
Pistols, holsters and silencers,
Tire irons or equivalent,
Job to cover activities with plenty of money,
Let’s see, wives don’t count in this category.

“What else do we need?”

“Let me give you another hint. The motor home has some unique customized features. The front window has a smaller window that can be opened. There is also a similar arrangement on both sides and in the rear. These openings would be convenient if someone wanted to, for instance, shoot something through the window.”

“You’re talking about sniper rifles!”

“Yeah, and the biggest scopes that I’ve ever seen!” There are boxes of ammunition, range finders, pistols, AK-47 automatic type rifles, and some other things that I didn’t recognize. The motor home is only for you and me, for obvious reasons. The sniper rifles, scopes, night scopes, night glasses, and all kinds of other things are kept in a hidden compartment in the ceiling. The roof and ceiling must have a couple of extra feet of space. There is no sign of anything from outside or inside. The whole ceiling swings down on hinges at the push of a button. The button looks like the door lock/unlock/trunk open/panic button that is standard on all new cars now. This one has another button that is recessed so you can’t hit it by accident. That is the one that lowers the ceiling. We could even go on a camping trip with the families if we wanted to and the false ceiling would never be seen.”

“I wonder if maybe Mr. X should have recruited some Special Forces, or Navy Seal people.”

“I wondered the same thing, but it occurred to me that, they would be better at whacking people, but they would always be FORMER TOUGH DUDES, while we are just everyday dudes just trying to make a living.”

“I’ll pick you up at 9:30”, said Cole.

It was the same as the other meetings; Cole and Aaron pulled into the trailhead parking lot, turned off the lights, opened the windows and turned the truck off.

“Right on time”, spoke the voice out of the darkness. “How do you feel about what’s happening?”

“I feel like I’ve stumbled onto a movie set of a James Bond thriller,” said Aaron. “I gave my notice at work and was cut loose, so I went into the new office early. They gave me the tour and gave me the key to the motor home. Those are the biggest rifle scopes that I’ve ever seen.”

“Did you notice the night light feature?”

“No, I looked at the size of it and put it back, I felt that I shouldn’t be looking at it.”

Rizzo laughed and said, “JUSTICE FOR ALL” expect you to become the ultimate killer of those criminal elements of society that cannot be touched. As such, you will be supplied with every piece of equipment that is available. The sniper rifles are of the latest design. You should take a trip out to the desert and learn how to use it. Please note that the ammunition is military issue and as such cannot be traced. The rifles have never been fired, so in the case of police trying to trace the bullets there will be no match. When you need more ammunition, just tell anyone at the rifle range or let me know. The instructions for the scope are in the case with the scopes. There should be instructions for all of the equipment. You will need to become expert with it all. All you need is practice. You will probably be surprised at the accuracy and the distance that the rifles are capable of. If needed, there are also silencers for the sniper rifles, however, the silencer messes up the accuracy a little. The top notch assassins refuse to use a silencer. Did you see the instructions on the recommended care of the rifles?”

“Yes, it’s going to take some practice to be able to disassemble and assemble in the time specified. The cleaning procedures are similar to what I do with my guns, except more detailed,” said Aaron.

Cole asked, “Wouldn’t it be better to recruit Special Forces type people to do what we’ll be doing?”

“In some ways, maybe. In some parts of the country, that is exactly what has been done. You guys kind of popped up as someone that I should consider. I wanted someone who the criminals, and the police, would never suspect. From the people you have already eliminated, the drug people and police have no idea who you are. The first man that you killed was called an accidental death, you were close to being suspects and questioned in detail. After that, with the exception of Gleason, there was no evidence to tie you to the deaths. Have you had time to study the list?”

“We never talked to you about that first one. The cougar killed the guy about 50 yards from where we were sitting. We were afraid that we would have been connected to the death so we threw him over the cliff.”

“I’ll be dammed, you’re right; it would have been hard to convince me that the cougar actually killed the guy when his ex-wife and her boyfriend was so close.”
“That’s what we thought,” said Aaron.

“Have you had time to study the list?”

Cole answered, “Not really. At least, I haven’t. I looked through them and read it but I haven’t had time to do anything else.”

“Same here, I did drive out to one of Poulsons’ construction sites. Since both Cole and I are planning on building homes, I thought that we could go through the investigation stage with his company and see if Poulson shows up. I picked up some of his folders.”

Mr. X said, “That’s what I want to hear. I didn’t expect you would have much time to get started until you were both actually on board. Aaron, you have a head start and that should get you guys going a little quicker. For the first few months, I would like to meet here every Monday night at 10 PM. Do you have any more questions for me at this time?”

“What do you envision where we would need sniper rifles,” asked Aaron?

“The drug guy might be a good candidate. Also I will be giving you some gang bangers. These men are pretty hard to get close to. A sniper round from a mile away may be the only way to get them. Plus in both cases, drug organizations and gangs, there is a lot of competition. Their first reaction to a hit is to go after their rivals. It would be a good thing if we could precipitate a war where they kill each other off. You shouldn’t use them very often, but sometimes it may be the only way.”
“Do you have anything else for me? OK, you know how to contact me. I will be here next Monday night, good luck and goodbye.”

Cole and Aaron drove back down the canyon. Both were thinking about what was next. It was no longer a once in awhile thing. This was now an everyday thing for Aaron and after another week Cole would join him working “Full time” against evil. “I wonder if other people doing what we’re now doing operate as teams, or if they are operate as a single individual.”

Aaron replied, “I don’t think that I would even attempt this by myself.”

“I might, but if I was doing it by myself, it would be really hard not to talk to Jan about what was going on.”

“Until you start coming to our office every day, I am going to follow up on those 6 people on the list. I’ve already looked at #1, so I will go down the list and see what I can find out.”

“Still meeting everyday for lunch?”

“Of course, I will pick you up at your office,” laughed Aaron.

They had started eating in a different part of town every day. They also rotated days driving. They might be in North Salt Lake City in Cole’s car on Monday, then again in North Salt Lake City the following week, but it would be in Aaron’s car on a different day and at a different drive-in restaurant. Aaron was keeping a log to make sure that they didn’t fall into any kind of pattern. It seemed like it might be paranoid at this point, but they thought that it was probably a good idea.

“I went by #2, Ms. Robertson’s place today. It’s a mansion complete with a guard at the gate, a high fence around the place. I looked through a hole in the bushes along the fence and saw guard dogs running across the yard. It looks like a gangster home from a movie set.”

Cole scratched his head and said, “That could be a tough one. The background says that she visits all kinds of places on a regular basis. She never drives; she is always driven by a body guard who also functions as a chauffeur to places like a hair salon, exercise facility, grocery stores, etc. It looks like we should be able to follow her around and pick the best place. How about checking out the exercise place? Is it the same company where we exercise?”

“It’s a different place, but that sounds like as good a place to start as any. I will also find out if her driver goes in with her and exercises or stays in the car. I went by #3, the drug guy’s office. From the outside it looks like any other office in a medium sized strip mall. The neighborhood is kind of seedy. Not a place I would want my family to live. Now his home is something else. He lives in an old home on a huge lot. You can’t even see the house from the street. The drive-way goes back into the trees and the manicured bushes. A locked gate crosses the drive-way. I couldn’t see a fence, but I would bet it’s there. There is no way we could pick him off while he’s at home. I will keep on gathering information for us. By the time you’re able to come in every day we can get down to the actual planning.”

Next Monday, Cole went to work at the new office. Aaron showed him around. There were only a few people to meet. The work that they were getting credit for doing was all being done by others. It was almost like they were invisible. They had a secretary who gave them reports of all kinds of things. She would leave the report on their desks. They would initial it and put it into an out box. She would come in periodically to give them more reports and empty the out box.”

“I’ve been thinking, now that you’re here, let’s go for a ride in the motor home and try out those rifles. There’s a private shooting range out in the west desert. It’s about an hour away, right along the salt flats,” said Aaron.

“You say it’s private?”

“Yeah, we will have to stop at the entrance, show our I.D. before we can go through in. I went out there last week to look around. You’re going to love it.”
Cole drove and Aaron gave directions to the private rifle range. They turned off the freeway. The Great Salt Lake was to the North, a thriving little town to the South. Its name was Tooele, pronounced “Too illa.” They drove through town and continued past signs that described Army Testing Grounds. Bunkers had been scraped out of the desert soil years ago. Finally they came to a huge sign that said, “PRIVATE PROPERTY, DO NOT ENTER, TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED.” The side road turned to the left beside the sign and headed directly toward a towering range of mountains that stood at least 4,000 ft above the valley floor. Directly in front of them were a small hill and a hidden valley beyond. They reached the crest of the small hill and then could see a guard house. There was a fence going as far as the eye could see both directions. A motorized gate was closed. The uniformed man stepped out of the guard house. He was carrying a side arm and an automatic rifle. May I see your identification please? Cole pulled out his new ID card from Freedom Plus while Aaron handed his to Cole. The guard looked at the pictures and then at Cole and Aaron. Satisfied, he said “thank you sir, saluted, and handed them back along with a 2 way radio with a 6 inch screen. He then turned and nodded to an unseen second guard. The gate retreated across the road.

Cole and Aaron drove the motor home over another small knoll and there was a rifle range that every person who has every shot at a target could only dream about. The range had been set up to shoot from a prone position, standing, in a vehicle, and even from a motor home. The shooting positions were clearly marked. Marching down into infinity were targets. Each target was clearly marked at 50 YDS, 100 YDS, 200 YDS, and every 100 YDS to 1,500 YDS. A man appeared from somewhere and walked over to them. “Have you been here before?”

“No, this is our first time.”

“Welcome, he looked at Aaron, you should have come in when you came down last week, we were expecting you.”

Addressing them both, “I believe you will enjoy your stay here. Let me explain the radio. Each time you shoot, just press the # button, the results will appear on the screen. When you shoot at the further targets, it’s the only way to know where you are hitting. If you want a verbal explanation of where the bullets are hitting that don’t hit the target, push the * button. As you can see, the targets are off-set to the right. It’s possible to hit the wrong target if you’re shooting wide to the left or right, but I’m assuming that you’re good enough so that probably won’t happen much. Enjoy, I’ll be here until 18 hundred. This facility is open 24 hours a day. If you want to practice night shooting, we’re always open. It’s never very busy, so feel free to come at any time. It gets kind of boring for us. We are glad to see you come. When you’re done, give the radio back to the guard at the gate.” The man walked around the motor home and was gone.

“Can you believe this? Did you come in here last week?”

“No, I just drove to the where the sign was, turned around and headed back to the office. How did he know that I was here last week?”

“There has to be some kind of monitoring system where they examine every vehicle coming south out of Tooele.”

They dropped the ceiling and took out the sniper rifles and scopes. They were trying to figure out how to attach them when the man appeared again at the door, “I believe that I may be able to help. Don’t worry; I am cleared to see the inside of your vehicle. I’m not cleared to give you my name or to hear yours.” He took Coles rifle and showed them how to attach the scope. He also explained how to adjust the scope for wind and how the night vision feature worked. They wouldn’t need the built in range finder because the distances were printed beside each target, but he suggested that they check the range finder against the targets to get a feel for how it worked. The man seemed eager to talk and to show them how to use the rifles.
“These are the finest sniper rifles made. You’ll note that these are bolt action. Automatic rifles are great for sending a lot of bullets in a general area, but for accurate shooting, the bolt action design has proven to be the best. Soon there will be laser scopes and rifles and who knows what else, but for now, you have the best there is. Everything I’ve told you about this rifle and the scope is in your instructions. I just thought that I could save you some time and as an added benefit I would get to handle these rifles. I will be leaving now, good luck and thank you.”
Cole and Aaron both returned his salute and a hardy “Thank You!”

They each shot until their shoulders were sore. Their first shots were off, but after some adjustment and with the instant report of where they were hitting, they were soon hitting a respectable 6 inch pattern at 600 yards. At 1000 yards, they were able to get within a 12 inch circle once they learned how much the bullet would drop at that distance. The scope was programmed for the rifle. By using the range finder, the scope would make the adjustment for you, but you had to tell it to make the adjustment. The results of the first shots at the long distances were pathetic. The voice on the radio told them to “turn on the scope automatic features.” After that it was almost a slam dunk. The rifle still had to be held steady and the trigger must be squeezed. There was no wind or the results would have been erratic at best. They each tried 1500 yards and decided to quit for the night. They were doing better than they expected. They cleaned the rifles and gave the casings to another man who showed up and asked for them.

“Congratulations,” said the guard as Aaron & Cole handed him their radios on the way out of the rifle range.

“For what,” asked Cole?

“Your shooting, you did remarkable well for your first time here.”

“Do you observe the shooting that goes on at the rifle range?”

“I can’t answer that sir. Drive safely back to Salt Lake.”

“It will be 7 PM before we can get home, so I am going to call Jan and see if I can bring home a takeout supper before our meeting with Mr. X.”

“I’ll do the same,” said Aaron. “I’ll pick you up tonight if that is ok.”

At the trailhead, the voice said, “excellent shooting for your first time! Your practice today showed that your accuracy is much better than expected for this point in your development. Remember to use the built in feature of the scope. You probably wouldn’t believe how much of Uncle Sam’s money was spent on the development of that scope. The guys with tons of experience talk about how good the rifle and the cartridges are, but they won’t turn on the scope because they don’t trust it. I believe once you become familiar with the scopes’ automatic programs, you will be able to compete, and win in 9 out of 10 competitions with the best marksmen in the world.”

Cole said, “thank you, is there anything that you don’t know?”

“I try to keep informed about everything that I need to know. You guys are very important to me and to JUSTICE FOR ALL. I try to keep up to date on everything you’re doing. How are you doing with the list?”

They reported what they had learned about the people on the list.

“Let me suggest that you pick one of them, concentrate on what you’re going to do and then do it. If you take care of any of them before our next meeting I’ll know about it. I also suggest that you continue to practice at least every other day with the rifles, but also with the pistols and with the automatic rifles. Some of the sniper rifle practice should be after dark.”

Cole asked, “The shooting range is a military facility. We were surprised that we were allowed to enter and they acted like they were expecting us. Can you tell us anymore about how extensive the JUSTICE FOR ALL organization is?”

“No, not really, only that JUSTICE FOR ALL crosses all aspects of American law enforcement and military organizations. Today you saw an example of that. Just feel good about what you’re doing. There are a lot of people behind you every step of the way. We all feel that the most dangerous enemy that our country faces today is from within our country. You and other like you are the warriors that will keep our country strong and free. Do I sound like some right-wing nut? If so, I’m sorry, but that is what I believe! Just so we are clear on my feelings let me add a little more. There are a lot of people with power, money, and influence that want our country to be absorbed into some kind of world government. These people believe that the only salvation for the entire world is for the USA to be destroyed as we know it. The standard of living in the USA must be lowered so that people in other countries will no longer want to come here. They believe that the masses around the world must be controlled. They must not be allowed to dream that a place of freedom and opportunity even exists. These same people plan on being the ones in control of the entire world. They are planning on the entire world having 3 classes of people. The ruling elite made up of a small number of wealthy powerful people. A second class or middle class made of the law enforcement, military, and bureaucratic management type people. The third is everybody else. The workers who will do what they are told or else. Movement between classes would be aggressively discouraged and punished. A free country with the right to bear arms will not be tolerated!”
“That sounds like what I hear the talk show conservatives talking about. You obviously know a lot more than I do about it and it scares the crap out of me,” said Cole as Aaron vigorously nodded his head in agreement.

“Gentlemen, there is a lot more at stake here than just the elimination of a few bad people. This is the first step. I haven’t mentioned what’s happening in other parts of the country since we first talked. The latest report, that I received, shows 26 offices active in the Robin Hood movement. None have been as active or as successful as you have been here in Utah. However, with the copy cat Robin Hoods, we can count hundreds of criminals being removed every week across the nation. I’ve mentioned some of the most prominent national leaders who have been removed. There are a lot more of the corrupt state leaders and even local crooked leaders who are finding it very difficult to stay alive. Your example of professionalism is without equal. The corrupt people who are hidden across America are getting more and more desperate to see you apprehended and hopefully to be killed.”

“It appears that you may be asked to do some training or speaking to other groups in the future. The other groups or offices all have information in the form of films, CDs, paper reports and statistics of your target practices.”

“As I learn more I will keep you informed. I will talk to you again next Monday night.”

“People all over the country are reading about my target practices,” asked Aaron?

“What have we got ourselves into, I’ve never wanted to be famous.”

“I don’t know about being famous, as far as I’m concerned, I will let JUSTICE FOR ALL take care of the big picture. I just want to continue doing my part by killing RABID DOGS!”
