“Where was I, oh yeah, she was    
screaming at Frankie, and the one-star 
guy tried to pull some kind of rank on 
her, but she stood right up to him.    
Told him something about following     
procedures and going down some kind of 
channel or something, and then         
immediately got on the phone and       
started making calls.                  
     “She looked angry, but also       
worried, and I could see her hands     
shaking.                               
     “After hanging up, she told them  
they couldn’t do anything until        
Saturday morning at eight.             
     “Frankie went into a rage, and the
four assistants left almost as soon as 
that happened. The two military guys   
called more people, and then that guard
showed up.                             
*      “While all that was going on,       
Tammy had taken me out of the cage and 
into the other room. She kept telling  
me not to worry, but as soon as every- 
one left, she called someone on the    
phone and spent the rest of the night  
pleading for my life.                  
     “When she left, she also told the 
guard that he could leave.             
     “I almost left, as soon as she    
did, but that’s when you showed up, and
I finally had a target for all my      
anger.                                 
     I gave you that note and sent you 
a nasty ass e-mail, but the way you    
said Amy before you left... you weren’t
pretending. You really were worried,   
and I don’t know what the fuck it was, 
but I decided to trust you and even got
back in my cage.
