Mermaids, Mobsters and Monsters, Chapter 26
Chapter 26. Al. Friday November 13 – Monday November 16, 1931. I could have taken the Saturday rather than the Friday night train out, but going out Friday gave me a chance to talk to Bill before going in on Monday for the inspection. I liked Boston anyway and I could do some walking around and enjoying the city. The train left at ten and I slept through the trip up, being woken up by the porter when the train pulled into Boston. I checked my bag, ate breakfast in South Station and decided to take a walk along the waterfront toward the building where Bill had his office. Bill and the rest of the Federal officers had been run out of their offices a couple of years ago because they wanted to build a new Federal building for Boston which still wasn’t finished. At the moment, Bill’s people didn’t have their own range and shared the range with the Boston PD. So it was Bill’s office and the Armory that I would have to inspect, which would make things easy. Most of it would be checking

Mermaids, Mobsters and Monsters, The Dark Wars, Book 2 Chapter 1. The Colonel. Tuesday October 25, 1931. I had entered the US discreetly by travelling to Mexico, crossing the border and taking the train from there. When I arrived in Washington to meet with the Director, I sent a message to the Major. We met at a place in New York City and he said in German, “I found your daughter.” “That is good news! Where is she?” “She lives in Vermont, near the Benton farm. She is a school teacher who works with the Bear’s wife and is friends with Bradley’s bonded.” “What about the brother?” “He moved down to the Cape and bonded with a mermaid. Our associates have been trying to remove him from the picture for some time and not been successful.” “Has he revealed the diary?” “No one else has seen it. He bonded to the Peacekeeper’s daughter and the Peacekeeper is looking into things here in New York. Our associates’ operations are probably going to be disrupted, if not destroyed.” “Can you

Monday November 16, 1931
The alarm clock went off. Chrissie and I had stayed up too late distracting each other and I was rather fuzzy. Chrissie wasn’t. She said, “Tom, we need to get out of the pool before your sister shows up.”
“Unnngh”
Chrissie dragged me to the top of the pool and said, “Mister, you get out of the water right now.”
I slowly climbed out of the pool. Chrissie said, “Change and bring that wheelchair over.”
The Change had never seemed to take as long or be as painful. After it was complete I went over and grabbed the chair and pulled it over to the pool.

Saturday November 14 – Sunday November 15, 1931
Mera dragged me out to the bower for our Swim, mostly for the exercise and attention. Of course, once we were out there I got tangled up in stuff that took long enough that we had to stay the night. Not that I was complaining. Since we had gotten back from New York, Mera had been far more aggressive about us being together. I had also been neglecting the bower for the last six months or so thanks to Tom, Chrissie and playing the waterman giving Tom a job to keep Tom on the water until Chrissie could catch him. While it had been a relaxing vacation after the last couple
