Chapter 2
The second part of the training was effortless for me since I already had spent eight years rooting out cyber-crime and preventing cyber-attacks. My new job would mostly be tracking down pedophiles and tracking down human traffickers.
I specifically chose the Salt Lake office to work out of. That way I could live up in Ogden and commute on the occasions I would need to go to the office.
By the time I landed in Salt Lake City from Langley, the Bureau had already purchased a townhouse condo for me up in the Ogden canyon that they considered secure and they set the condo up with all the electronic equipment I would need.
There was an Agent from the Salt Lake office who met me at the airport. Daniel was probably six years older than me and was a field agent. We chatted a bit about the office and the surrounding area while he drove me to my new home in Ogden.
There was a brand new jet black SUV waiting for me in the driveway when we arrived in the gated community. Daniel smiled and handed me a set of keys that included for my car and for the front door of my new home.
“You’ll need to be at the office at 9am on Monday morning for your intake indoctrination,” Daniel told me as he handed me the keys. “You’ll probably need to leave here about 7:30 if you want to make it on time with the traffic you’ll encounter,” he added.
After Daniel programed the office address into my SUV gps system, he told me to enjoy my 4 day weekend and he said, “welcome home GI.” Then, he was gone.
I was astounded when I saw how nicely my new bachelor condo was furnished after I let myself in and dragged my two duffle bags of clothes in from the front porch.
In the den was the new computer and all of the other electronics I would need to do my job. There was a sticky note with the passwords to get into the systems I would need to use.
I made a mental note that my first order of business would be to change the passwords to ones of my own choosing. I was pleasantly amazed when I made my way into my master bedroom and saw how big it was. Best of all was that there was a huge king sized bed.
While I unpacked my clothes and put them in the closet or into drawers, I made two decisions. First, I made a mental note to go shopping tomorrow and buy a whole new wardrobe since I’ll not being wearing uniforms anymore. Second, hire an escort to help me break-in my new bed.
I had just finished unpacking when I got a text message from my brother.
Robert: Are you home yet?
Jack: Yep…Just unpacked
Robert: Come over at 6pm for dinner…no excuses
Jack: Fine! See you then
