Max trotted over, sat down, and offered his paw.

The lieutenant colonel squatted and scratched Max's ears.

"Nice airplane," Castillo said. "Presidential Flight Detachment, right?"

The lieutenant colonel looked up at him, then stood up, but did not reply.

"I'm the SVR rezident in Buenos Aires, Colonel. We like to keep up on what our American friends are doing."

He then handed the lieutenant colonel the identification card of Lieutenant Colonel C. G. Castillo, Special Forces, U.S. Army.

The lieutenant colonel, recognizing the card immediately, smiled, then did a double take and examined it carefully.

"I was about to tell you, Colonel," he said, "as tactfully as I could, that I just can't talk about the mission of this aircraft. But since you are the mission . . ."

"Excuse me?"

". . . I will tell you, out of school, that you're probably in the deep shit."

"How's that?"

"Ambassador Montvale just blew his top at the ambassador. You didn't miss them by five minutes. Ambassador Montvale said, and this is almost verbatim, 'I just flew five thousand goddamned miles down here to see Lieutenant Colonel Goddamn Charley Castillo, and you're telling me you not only don't know where the sonofabitch is, but that you didn't even know the crazy bastard is in Argentina?' "

He turned to the captain and asked, "Is that about what the ambassador said, Sam?"

"Almost verbatim, sir," the captain said. "I somehow got the idea, sir, that Ambassador Montvale doesn't like Colonel Castillo very much."

"I always knew that Ambassador Montvale doesn't like anybody very much, but I don't ever remember him being as pissed as he was just a couple of minutes ago," the lieutenant colonel said. "What the hell did you do, Colonel?"

"I guess I have been a very bad boy," Castillo said. "And we never had this conversation, Colonel."

Fully aware that rendering the hand salute while not in uniform is proscribed by Army regulations, Castillo saluted.

The lieutenant colonel and the captain returned the salute.

Castillo turned to the Aero Commander, intending to wave.

He changed his mind and blew a kiss.

Then he said, "Come on, Max," and walked to where Jack Davidson was waiting for him.
