By now all of his ID’s were in his real name, Greg Hauser, so, when the FBI came and took him to a cell to question him, his identification checked out perfectly. After seventy-two hours and a lawyer, they cut him loose.
“Why do they do that to innocent people?” he asked his attorney.
“I dunno. It’s the government. They do crazy shit like that all the time,” his lawyer, Aiden Smithton, said to him. “It happens a lot, let me tell you. You are not alone, son. You’ll get used to it soon enough.”
“You think they will do it again?”
“Do snakes have tails?” Aiden asked sarcastically. “Of course, they will.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s what they do.”
“That’s it? That’s the reason?”
“Yea. Pretty much that’s it.”
“Makes no sense,” Greg said.
“I guess that’s why it’s called the government, isn’t it?”
