Chapter Four

Tuesday, October 14th

The FBI used a private wing of O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. It was early evening once we arrived from north central Wisconsin, got our bags checked through security, and boarded the plane. The eight-hour flight to Dublin did not feel that lengthy probably due to the fact that they flew us out of the Midwest in one of the agency private jets. Drew and I took advantage of the space, spreading our files out and discussing the mission at hand in comfort and peace.

An hour into the flight Drew was staring into his tablet looking confused. “I’m having trouble downloading the data packet to my computer. Bowman filled me in briefly, but I’ll need some more information.” Then he looked up at me, “I guess you’ll have to give me the skinny, kid. Why exactly are we off to the magical country of leprechauns and whisky?”

“We have been sent to Ireland to track down the family history of Mr. Ethan Myers.”

“YES!”

Drew looked up from his tablet. “I got the downlink,” he said matter-of-factly. I watched him scroll down through the document. “Alrighty, we are looking for any and all info on Mr. evil Myers.”

Drew leaned forward, picked up his coffee cup, and took a long drink, thinking. “Not that I want to complain, because I’m pretty stoked we are heading to Ireland, but why don’t we just get the geniuses over in Info Tech to scour the Internet or something? You can Google anything these days, you know.”

“Of course Info Tech has been digging deep on this one, but somehow Myers has either blocked or pulled all records of his family from all public and private archives.”

“Ah yes. Nowadays it’s possible to wipe yourself from the inter-workings of the web. Sounds like Myers is hiding something, Mr. Hill.” Drew scrolled through a few more pages on his tablet, smiling widely, as if this was very exciting for him. “Although I have to admit it sort of sounds like finding a needle in a pineapple field.”

“Pineapple field? It’s haystack.”

“Needle in a haystack? Maybe where you come from.”

“And where do you come from?”

“I hale from the beautiful white-sand beaches of Hawaii.”

“Really?”

“Born and raised Honoluluan! You should come back with me sometime. You’ll never see more gorgeous half-naked women on the beach anywhere else in the world.”

I smiled at him, letting my mind wander to a tropical scene enhanced with bikini-clad babes.

“You’ll also see ridiculously overweight half-naked women on the beach, but I usually try to avert the ol’ peepers.”

Laughing, I let my daydream go and scrolled through my tablet until I found the document I remembered Bowman showing me a few days ago. I ran my finger down the page. “Here’s what we know—Myers’s grandparents were living in Ireland between 1899 and 1950 and his grandfather, Alec, was a local physician.”

“I assume the agency wants to get into Myers’s head. I’ve seen it before.” Then Drew put on a deep and official voice, as if he was reciting something he’d heard a million times.
