Hubert

Oh Dearest Readers things are not well. I have finally seen Hubert. He is a wreck of a man. A drunken shipwreck of a man. He looks a good ten years older than I last saw him. He arrived here in Cadiz yesterday from Little Caymen. The authorities there were trying to find some more substantial clues to how the kidnappers managed to get Constance out of her hotel room, and out of the hotel, and off the island with NOBODY seeing anything. I met Hubert for luncheon yesterday, just the two of us in the Hotel Dining Room. He sat there brooding into his waffles, slurping down a gin rickey, and saying over and over again "We haven't been separated since Clinton was in office!" I should think that his Halliburton and Exxon connections, and his Bush connections (he was at Andover with GHWB) would make things move along a little faster. But here we still are, waiting for the boat from Cadiz to Morocco. They say we go tomorrow, but I dread making the trip with Hubert in tow.

Well I have to voice my concern that something dreadful might have happened to the dear Mrs. V.
Unless we hear from her in the next 48 hours, or heaven help us, hear of her, I will have to get Interpol involved.

Danvers, I have some connections with Interpol here in France. I threw a huge party last year chez Bocuse at his Auberge du Pont de Collonges outside of Lyon. (They're based in Lyon ... ) Anyway, let's just say that there were three or for agents, off-duty, of course, qui se sont dérapés ... mais grave and, bien sûr, every Kreg event is entirely videographed ... So I will if necessary pull a few strings pour ma chère Lydia ... It's a wonder GW isn't more help, but, that said, he never was a man of details.

Ah Mr. Kreg! We may have to put our hands together across the sea. I do appreciate your connections and will be in touch. Please do not expect anything good or productive to come from that GW person. He's too busy feathering his nest for his not-soon-enough exit.

Mr. Kreg

It is now April 3. I think it is time to call in your favors and upon your friends.
Please advise.
