Martin Swans Diary: Black Water Crossing
Martin Swans Diary: Black Water Crossing
Author: Kyle Keyes
Desc: Martin Swan was not a terrorist nor a truck driver. He only replied to the want-ad because the wording linked Florida with Washington DC and wanted someone who could speak Arabic. The year was 2008. Jobs were scarce gas prices high. The back page ad called for a big rig driver with a clean record who could be at Black Water Crossing the day before Halloween. As fate would have it a quirky satellite blackout occurred before the government agent could complete the overseas agreement. A follow-up call led nowhere. Thus the mid-east connection never fell victim to a federal communications dragnet – nor could Martin Swan detail the pending threat against Washington or where the explosives would come ashore.
