Flyboys - Lost and Found
Loading...
Anytime I thought about pulling the trigger, there were always compelling reasons not to. Take my current situation: At this age, many of my friends are getting married, taking on mortgages, having babies. The day before my 27th birthday, a few weeks ago, I bought myself a gift of an hour with an upscale psychic. But if I could imagine the partner — who I wanted him to be — if I could begin a fantasy relationship with this person, then I would know him when I saw him.
He was a Shih-Tzu or some mix thereof , a rescue dog and not a puppy, older and already house-trained, with a calm and loving demeanor, sort of low-energy and not a yapper, content to lounge around the house, follow you from room to room, and lick your feet. But could you blame me for thinking, as he came hurtling towards me on New Years Eve, jumping right into my lap, that I had found what Jews call Beshert , my soulmate?

All of a sudden, I was a complete romantic. I knew my roommates in New York would not accept him, so we would have to move in together on our own. It would be a costly, stressful move, but worth it. We would build a new life together, and he was going to change my life, too, make me better. I would have to become a cleaner person, a more responsible person. I would learn about sacrifice and selflessness. In those first few days, all of my predictions were coming true. I loved the dog, and he loved me. I hated to leave him, and when I was away, all I did was talk about him.
Sure, sometimes he had accidents, but on the tile, never on the carpet, and not because he was bad, but just because he was a little confused.
Afterwards he would lick my hands and feet and face for a quarter of an hour, non-stop, to show his appreciation. Did I ever consider that he might have an owner? But he had no collar when I found him, and his microchip led — get this — to a tabby cat in Washington State. The vet, bewildered, called the owners.
My stepmother scoured Petfinder and Craigslist a few times a day and found no ads for a lost Shih-Tzu. On our fifth day of bliss, feeling secure that he was mine and mine alone, I took him to get his shots. They warned me I would not be able to cancel this contract, but I waved away their concerns. This was the real deal. Woody, Al, Oscar, Schroder, Leon.
He never responded to any of these names, and I was just about ready to choose one and stick to it. But upon my return from the vet, the names bouncing around in my head, I received an email from my stepmother, in it a link to an ad on Craigslist for a lost Shih-Tzu, posted only that morning.
There was a name in the ad: I called it, and my perfect little dog came running. Would you like to tell us about a lower price? The sea claims a careless soul, surrounded by a curious crowd, on a stretch of grainy coral sand beach. Secrets have festered spawning hatred and fear. The adventure takes a nasty turn when Charlie meets a man from his past, the encounter loosing a fury of pent up paranoia and rage.
Malignant forces will be marshaled to seek them out and kill them. Charlie Jones is the flyboy; Nancy Grant has great legs and a conscience; Wallace Clayton is doing penance; and Jorge will fight the life he has built. They will need friends, a plan, and to dig deep within to find courage and resolve to survive.

They've done it before. Even though I tried to read slow.. Jorge is my hero! Liked this book even better than "Risky Business".
