Jasmine was not the only one who had heard Alex's tales of wild and drunken antics throughout the years. In fact, her father was listening to the conversation via the wire she was wearing beneath her dress. After all, only a fool would fully trust the piss poor excuse Alex had made to get out of Iranian Intelligence's investigation.
But the more Alex spoke to Jasmine about his past, the more it began to appear like the man really wasn't the slightest bit connected with the enemies of Iran. In fact, the General was starting to suspect that the man was a bit of an idiot. A charming idiot, but an idiot, to be sure.
I must apologize for not posting a chapter these last few days. For some reason, I have gotten sick more times so far this year than I have in the last five years combined.
That's right, a mere two weeks after my cold ended, which caused a delay in chapters not long ago, I somehow managed to contract the viral form of pink eye.
Which, unlike the more common bacterial form, has the added benefit of also causing cold and flu-like symptoms.
I'm starting to think that some of the guys at my new MMA gym need to shower more frequently. Or perhaps the owner needs to clean the mats more often. Because this all started once I began getting back into shape...
Anyway, I'm starting to finally recover after an entire week of this nonsense, and so I'll try to post a chapter every day this week for this novel. Thank you all for sticking with me as I try to overcome my third illness so far this year...
