In a simple road.

Greentree Rd, Bethesda. The number was in a cryptogram. It was a surprise for Harry. He was the leader of the top ten of the statistic course in the Morgan University.

           May 5th, 10 AM. An invitation different of all others received in his lifetime. There was a job offer with a 500 dollars check. For covering the trip expenses.     A surprise, when arrived. Five more were waiting for the interview. All young. He was 28. Two girls and three men. All statistic experts. What kind of company is hiring us? The residential area address, the house, all were different.

"Mr. Harry, please come in". He was the first. The man, with a bow tie, was a perfect professor and begun asking him about his political position and vision of the Trump administration and the immigration laws.                                 

This job, said the man, is an important and patriotic contribution for the future of United States of America: "The President needs to know everything about the senators and the representatives to obtain the better conditions to their work, for the benefit of all Americans". To discover the life and tastes of each one of the lawmakers. Some questions to be answered: What they like? what they drink? are they good husbands or wives? where do they go in the nighttime? do they spend more money than what they make? who are their friends? are there homosexuals among them? do they travel a lot, to where, alone, with lovers? how they spend the weekends? who pays the tickets? do they live in a house compatible with their fortune? do their children are “socialites”?

“Besides that, we need a complete biography of each one because we want to help them to become real patriots. If we need to obtain their support what can we offer to them? Or what we have discovered in this work or social life, that we can use to change his vote in favor of our future?"

"The democracy is very important, said so-called professor, but for the guarantee, we need to have in the Senate and in the House, only people that we can trust, that loves America and want to put it first".

"That’s why you are here. You will make 100.000 dollars, in cash,  besides fringe benefits and pocket money for your trips, hotels and restaurants expenses. There is no limit, as you are doing your job with discretion and love to your country".

Harry was a right-wing student and his view on DC was always questioning the political process and criticising the liberal lawmakers, those connected to immigrants, human rights, and climate changes.

After a handshake, he went to a meeting with all the six "chosen". They received instructions: “This is a confidential work and highly classified. You will never meet again. Nobody can know about it. Neither CIA or FBI knows about it. Only with me, you can discuss any matter or doubt. You all will sign a document authorizing me to adopt any action to protect the secret of this mission, to guarantee the future of our nation. My company AFAM was founded with a specific objective and will disappear as soon as this work ends. You have six months to finish it.”

And the final remark was: "AFAM means America for the Americans. Good luck."

Harry was packing when the cell phone of the “man” rang. He noticed: The area code was 95. THE CALLER WAS “Russia for Russians”.
