immensely. Scott, I need some security advice and there are not
many people who could help me with this.”
    “Okay. Tell me more. I’d be happy tae try and help yer.”
    “Would you possibly be interested in coming out to
California? And stay with us for a couple of days, so we can discuss this face-to-face?
I would pay for your flights and $1000 per day, for your time.”
    “Yer want tae pay me $1000 a day just fer advice?” Scott
said, quizzically. He was very skeptical, although, this man sounded genuine.
    “Absolutely. This concerns one of
my children, so I need advice from the best. Can you make it this weekend?” Jim
asked, sounding very anxious to get Scott to meet him.
    “I have a class tae teach Friday night, but I’m free during
the weekend. And, I dinnae have another class until Tuesday night.”
    “Okay then. If I can get you on a flight to Los Angeles,
Saturday morning, returning on Monday. Plus, pay you $3000, will you come?”
    I would nae normally do this, but yer sound like a guid guy
and I have nae reason nae tae trust yer. Plus, the money will come in handy.
Can yer tell me anything else aboot the advice yer will need?”
    “I will tell you everything when we meet. Thank you so much,
Scott. What is your closest airport, Cleveland?”
    “Nae, Columbus is closer. But, if Cleveland is all yer can
do, I can get there.”
    “Columbus is fine. I just wasn’t sure exactly where you
were.”
    “So, yer live in Los Angeles then?”
    “No, were north of L.A., near Santa Barbara. Scott, I will have
my secretary get the flights booked and one of us will call you tomorrow with
the details. I’m sure the airline will need some more information about you. When
you arrive, I will have a driver meet you at the airport, on Saturday.”
    “Okay Jim. I look forward tae meeting yer.”
    “Thanks so much Scott. We will see you this Saturday. Oh,
and my wife won’t need to talk to you on the phone now. She will hear your
accent in person! By the way, her name is Linda and she is very much looking
forward to meeting you too.”
    “Sounds guid. I will see yer and
Linda on Saturday. Bye.” Scott said, smiling.
    He thought they seemed like nice people. And, if he could
help them and make some money at the same time, that would be great.

 
    All the details were sorted out on Friday and Scott received
his tickets via email. He finished teaching his self-defense class on Friday
evening, went home and slept for a few hours. He got up and threw a few things
in his backpack and drove to the airport early Saturday morning. His flight
left just after 9:00 a.m., and with time difference between Ohio and the West
Coast, he arrived just after 10:00 a.m., local time. Scott had looked at the departure
and arrival times on the tickets, but he never noticed that they were ‘First Class
tickets’. It was a pleasant surprise for him, he had never flown like that
before and the extra legroom and comfort certainly made a considerable difference.
As promised a driver waited for Scott at the Los Angeles airport. And, soon he
was seated in the back of a very luxurious car and on the way to his
destination. First Class travel and private drivers was not something he was
used to, but he certainly enjoyed it. Scott sat back and relaxed as he looked
out the window at the view as they made their way up the coast.

 
    About two hours later, they arrived at the Robinson
household in Montecito, just outside of Santa Barbara. The house was a huge,
modern, a stunning two-story building which overlooked the ocean. As they
approached, he noticed a gated driveway, a large swimming pool with fountains,
and there were large decks on the ground and upper levels. The large, white,
futuristic-looking structure was a lot different from Scott’s house back in
Ohio. He was in awe. He expected the house to be nice, considering the money he
was offered, and the First Class travel that had been afforded to him. But this
took his breath away. This
