Preface
Silas Longfellow Sehoka works for the FBI and 2013 was asked by CIA Special Field Agent Eric Sandifar to investigate Richard for illegal activities that include drug and firearms smuggling, money laundering, bribes, and extortion for a trial that took place in 2014.
Silas enlists the help of a Private Investigator, Connie
Cabooris and his partner Carlita Alverez Zacarias “CAZ” to investigate Rayne
Investments and Management Strategies “RIMS” and they uncover all the “dirt”
and evidence that the District Attorney of New York needed to bring Richard
Rayne to trial.
It is now 2016 and Silas receives a phone call from a family
member in Cherokee, North Carolina that his ex-wife and two daughters have been
kidnapped and their home burned on the Cherokee Reservation. Sehoka’s ex-wife is a Caucasian from North
Carolina.
Silas requests and receives special permission from the FBI
Director (since he is related to the deceased people) to investigate after
assuring the Director he can remain impartial.
Silas again enlists the help of Connie Cabooris and CAZ and the three of
them fly down to Knoxville, Tennessee where they rent a car for the
two-and-half hour ride to Cherokee.
Silas, Connie, and CAZ spend the next eighteen months
searching for Silas’s kidnapped children and the perpetrators of his wife’s
horrific murder that take them on an Iliad-type odyssey that takes them from
one Native American Reservation to another through twelve States from North
Carolina to Wisconsin to South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, to New Mexico, involving twenty-two
Native American Tribes that eventually terminates in Acapulco, Mexico.
The nightmarish kidnapping of his ex-wife and two daughters
will lead Silas, Connie, and CAZ on an illustrious journey from the light of
sanity and into the darkness of drugs, prostitution, arson, murder, extortion, and
sex trafficking.
The first one is Detective Lieutenant Silas Longfellow Sehoka (52 years old), a Native American of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Tribe located in the Great Smokey Mountains between Tennessee and North Carolina. Associate Deputy Director Sehoka has been with the FBI for twenty-six after spending six years in Military Intelligence stationed in Camp Lejeune and the Pentagon once he finished a bachelor’s degree in Military Intelligence from The Citadel. It was at Camp Lejeune that he met and became close friends with Gunny Connie Cabooris.
Detective Lieutenant Sehoka’s
“goto” Private Detective is Connie Cabooris of Greek heritage (48 years old)
who has been often compared to Larry Fine of the Three Stooges which he takes a
great deal of exception to when declared in public; although, privately he
agrees that he could have been his twin.
Connie Cabooris grew up in Marco Island, Florida and after high school
enlisted in the US Marine Corps, serving for twenty years in the Marine
Military Police at military bases in: Arizona, California, North and South
Carolina, and Virginia. After receiving
an honorable discharge from the Marines, Connie Cabooris worked as a Special
Agent for NCIS for ten years until he was fired for insubordination. He formed CABOORIS INVESTIGATIONS.
Cabooris Investigations hired
Carlita Alverez Zacarias (CAZ) (30 years old) who Connie met while working at
NCIS. CAZ’s parents moved from Madrid,
Spain to NYC where both her parents are currently working for Bank of America
in Foreign Investments. CAZ was born in
the US but at the age of 18, she received dual citizenship. CAZ spent six years
in the Marines where she was a combat sniper and earned a black belt in Karate,
expert status in explosives, firearms, combat, and survival. CAZ worked at NCIS
as a firearms instructor until she went to work for Cabooris Investigations.
Silas Longfellow Sehoka did not know many people outside of the FBI, but
he did know Special Field Agent Eric Sandifar from their time in the military
who was holding for him on line two.
Silas picked up the receiver of the phone sitting on his government desk
with a little concern and trepidation but also a little curiosity since he had
not spoken with Agent Sandifar in years.
Silas selected line two, speaking cautiously and firmly, “this is
Sehoka.”
“Silas, this is Eric… Eric
Sandifar.”
“Yes Eric, what can I do for you?”
“I need someone investigated.”
“Who?”
“Richard Rayne.”
“Never heard of him.”
“We,” said Sandifar, “the Agency and I believe he is involved in illegal
weapons and drug smuggling, bribery, and extortion.”
“You think this is a matter for the FBI?”
“Yes, we do.”
“You could have called anyone Eric, why me?”
“You’re the only FBI agent that I knew, and I thought if I got you
involved, I could cut through a little red tape.”
“How certain are you of his involvement?
“One hundred percent.”
“No doubts at all?”
“None. He remains behind the
scenes… has others do his dirty
work… but, we know he is financing
everything, and we don’t have jurisdiction to look for a paper trail,” Eric
explain almost without taking a breath of air.
“Do you have a file you can send me?”
“Yes, I do… it was FedEx’d
today… you should have it tomorrow.”
“Pretty sure of yourself.”
“Call me after you’d looked it over, will ya?”
“That I can do… bye.”
