More about my story

…

So…

The conference is also having a dinner the night before it all gets under way, with dancing.  Someone had this notion that an orchestra should be supplied and play classics from the Glenn Miller/Benny Goodman/Dorsey Brothers era.

The idea behind this interesting development was intriguing, to say the least, after I watched a late-night movie that had Glenn Miller and his band in it, and the music was amazing.  I’ve always been a fan of it, and I have countless recordings of nearly all the big bands of the era.

It’s also a time when our protagonist will get a look at all of the participants and decide which people are going to be a problem or not.  It is also the first time he gets to meet the head of the secret police, and the description he was given was far kinder than the reality.  And, the evil man has more interest in his partner, one of the younger and more attractive of the women present.

But it’s more about what’s going to happen when our protagonist happened to notice some odd activity at the rear of the building near the kitchens and goes to investigate.

It goes from a friendly enquiry to a hostage situation to a shootout, to getting injured and sent to hospital.  Our protagonist is not carrying an injury.

But, the silver lining, he now knows who is the leader of the rebels.
