“Scooter, tell me again why we’re not in Tulsa or even Oklahoma City? Why this little town so close to the Texas border?”

After so many years spent together, Scooter didn’t really have to try very hard to be patient with Gary. He knew once his partner fully understood the plan, once he’d questioned every facet, once he’d scoped out every detail, then he’d be on board, one hundred percent. It was just a matter of Gary’s getting to that point.

“Look, Durant is a good-sized city—more than ten thousand people. This is the nicest apartment we’ve ever had, and it costs less than a quarter of what we paid in New York. The library has everything we need in order for us to learn about the area and the people. And, because it is a smaller city, the cops here are less likely to be getting notices from New York or Boston or any other city we’ve been active in. In the past, we’ve always hit major urban centers. We’re changing up our ‘M.O.,’ as the cops call it. We’ve got a fresh slate here, my friend. A brand-new start. No one has heard of the Genesis Fund.” Scooter paused and thought for a moment. “We’ll maybe come up with an entirely new investment product. We’ll have to think on that some.

Another few weeks to get a good feel for the area and to find a few candidates who won’t mind taking some money to answer phone calls here. We’ll keep our cover with them, tell them we’re setting up a sales office for a new, national company. We’ll contact the phone company, give the usual spiel, and give them a large enough deposit that they won’t even question our mission to stake out new territory.”

Gary still looked worried, though Scooter thought the man was beginning to enjoy the challenge of starting all over again.

“Something else has been bothering you the last day or so. Why not just spit it out?”

“Okay. I was wondering. Do you think this is a safe place for us? On the way to the library yesterday, I saw a sign on one of the buildings. It said it was the offices of ‘the Headquarters of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.’ While you were going through the city directory, I looked that up. The Choctaw Nation is an Indian tribe, Scooter! Durant is a city of the Choctaw Nation. I thought Oklahoma was part of the United States!”

“Sometimes I worry about you, Gary. I really do. Of course, this is still the United States. And there’s
