Forbid Them Not, pp. 410-421<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nI want to start this post by apologizing.<\/p>\n
After my post last week, a number of readers were worried about Angelic. After all, there was a chat room conversation with no mention of Canada! Was Angelic okay?<\/em>\u00a0On seeing the level of concern about Angelic, I went back to the chat transcript. Had I missed something? Yes. Yes, I had.<\/p>\nHere\u2019s what I missed:<\/p>\n
Angelic: Can we do anything from Canada in addition to praying?
\nSancty-fried: Yeah, throw snowballs at the Senate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The other chatters encourage Angelic to call her American friends and ask them to pray too. Why not also ask her Canadian friends? Apparently American prayers count more than Canadian prayers.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Angelic is okay! You can stop worrying!<\/p>\n
Moving on! The chapter opens with Cooper and Laura having dinner at a fancy restaurant. Nancy, Cooper\u2019s secretary, managed to get a last-minute reservation for them at the Lighthouse Cafe (I\u2019m sure it\u2019s a real restaurant but I\u2019m too lazy to look it up). What\u2019s the occasion? It\u2019s October 16th, and Cooper just finished the fast turnaround on the brief, which means he just spent five days doing nothing but brief writing. Hence the fancy restaurant. He\u2019s celebrating. (Exhaustedly.)<\/p>\n
Cooper is just telling Laura that the speed may have been pointless\u2014the Judiciary Committee hearings on Senator Rose are scheduled for \u201cthe day after tomorrow\u201d after all\u2014when he gets a phone call.<\/p>\n
Flipping the phone open, he said hello into the wrong end of the phone, realized his error, and turned the phone over. \u201cHello,\u201d he said again.<\/p>\n
\u201cCooper? This is Jody Easler. Is everything OK there?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJody! Hi! Everything is fine. I just answered the phone upside down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laura winced when she heard the name \u201cJody.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So fun<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cI was wondering if you could help me,\u201d she said. \u201cI am coming to Washington tomorrow. I am supposed to testify on the Rose nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are? Why?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to say too much about it over your cell phone. Let\u2019s just say for now that Senator Marshall asked me to testify.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMan, I guess that means\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
She cut him off. \u201cDon\u2019t. Not over the phone. All I will say is that Marshall has to inform the Senate chairman who is on his witness list in about half an hour. When my name is on the list, Kadar will know it within minutes. She will stop at nothing to keep me from testifying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you want me to do?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am afraid to make transportation plans or a hotel reservation in my own name or over my own phone. And I don\u2019t want anyone from the Senate committee making my plans either. It just can\u2019t be kept confidential. Can you get me a place to stay and have someone trustworthy pick me up at the airport?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What<\/em>.<\/p>\nFirst, Jody needs to go to the police. Or the FBI. Or someone<\/em>. This is really ridiculous. If Kadar is still after her, she needs to actually do something about this.<\/p>\nSecond, if Jody doesn\u2019t think she can make plans in her own name, why did she think contacting Cooper<\/em> made sense? Does she think Kadar has suddenly stopped<\/em> spying on her contact with Cooper?<\/p>\nAnd it gets worse:<\/em><\/p>\nCooper looked at Laura, trying to figure out how to respond. \u201cI have an idea,\u201d he replied. \u201cDo you remember Laura Frasier?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour fiancee?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, how did you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI read the tabloids about \u2026 well, you know \u2026 you and me and this whole bizarre case.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn any event, Laura will be at your gate to meet you. We\u2019ll have everything planned without your name appearing anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds good,\u201d Jody replied.<\/p>\n
Cooper took down her flight number and arrival time and quickly ended the call.<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose you are going to tell me what that was all about,\u201d Laura said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You see what I\u2019m saying?<\/p>\n
If Jody is worried about someone listening in on their phone call\u2014and she said she is<\/em>\u2014Cooper has surely just called down a hit on Laura. It\u2019s not like no one knows who Laura is\u2014Jody has been reading about her in<\/em>\u00a0the tabloids\u00a0<\/em>for god\u2019s sake. Why would he assume no one will be watching for Laura?<\/em><\/p>\nAlso,\u00a0WTF Cooper,\u00a0<\/em>you\u00a0do not\u00a0<\/em>volunteer Laura for this without checking with her first, especially<\/em> when you know she does not like Jody and wants nothing to do with her. Who does that! He didn\u2019t even pause and ask her, he volunteered her, set the details, and hung up the phone. Signed, sealed, delivered<\/em>.<\/p>\nCooper is a horrible<\/em> person.<\/p>\nLaura, of course, is upset.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo why am I meeting her at the gate?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo reasons. First, Kadar\u2019s people aren\u2019t as likely to know you as me. And second, you won\u2019t have any reasons to be suspicious of me if you are actually the one picking her up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm,\u201d Laura said, pushpin the remains of her salad around on her plate. \u201cI thought we were through with that ambas\u2014with Ambassador Easler.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Why not have someone else entirely pick Jody up? Why does<\/em> Jody need to be picked up? Can\u2019t she just call a cab and go to a random hotel without pre-booking it, and use an assumed name?\u00a0And\u2014not to be repetitive\u2014Laura has been all over the tabloids. Cooper is literally\u00a0risking her life<\/em> (given what Jody said in a previous chapter about Kadar being willing to kill) on an assumption that \u201cKadar\u2019s people\u201d won\u2019t recognize her, despite everything<\/em>. This is batshit.<\/p>\nAlso, what is with this \u201cyou won\u2019t have any reasons to be suspicious of me if you are actually the one picking her up\u201d line? It\u2019s\u00a0so evangelical.\u00a0<\/em>It really is. I\u2019ve heard worse said. It\u2019s also completely batshit and unhealthy. If you can\u2019t trust your fianc\u00e9 to be alone with a former fling, you may want to rethink your life choices<\/em>. We\u2019re not even talking a social occasion! This is business! Are evangelical men actually this<\/em> untrustworthy? Does sex just spontaneously<\/em> happen while they run from Eastern European hitmen? Evangelical men make me nervous.<\/p>\nLaura finally assents and agrees to pick up Jody\u2014it\u2019s not like she has much of a choice\u2014but she makes Cooper sweet-talk her for a while first. This is also<\/em> very evangelical. And annoying.<\/p>\nScene change! It\u2019s October 17th now, and Laura is at the airport.<\/p>\n
Laura spotted at least twenty men who looked suspicious to her and decided to simply give up any amateurish effort at counter-surveillance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Finally, she spots Jody coming out. Apparently, she\u2019s actually in<\/em> the airport, old-school style, waiting for her at the gate. This is after 9\/11, so she shouldn\u2019t be there. Anyway, Laura sees Jody coming up the ramp from the plane.<\/p>\nLaura stood up and waited. Jody, wearing a knee length dark skirt and a brightly colored silk top, paused at the doorway. Spotting Laura, she nodded and headed with bold strides in her direction. \u201cHello, Laura. Thank you for doing this,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Even the simple task of saying \u201cYou\u2019re welcome\u201d seemed incredibly difficult. \u201cI\u2019m happy to try to help,\u201d Laura forced herself to say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Cooper, you ass.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cDid you see anyone who might be watching for me at the gate?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were too many to tell,\u201d Laura replied softly. \u201cAt least a couple of different men seemed to be watching me closely\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat could just be the normal crop of creeps and slugs who belong under a rock someplace,\u201d Jody replied.<\/p>\n
Jody\u2019s description made Laura laugh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Wow. That was remarkably well done, for Farris. The\u00a0laughter results in a loosening of tension between the two women. But they\u2019re not out of trouble yet, because this is when they realize they\u2019re being followed. By a man. Jody says to check if he has ugly shoes, because Eastern European men all have ugly shoes.<\/p>\n
Cooper, you ass.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nI genuinely cannot believe Cooper put Laura in this situation. This is surreal. This is the man we\u2019re supposed to think is the good guy?\u00a0<\/em>This could have been handled so many ways. They could have gone to the police. Or, Cooper could have sent someone else in to get Jody, someone who actually volunteered. Or he could have gone with Rick and Deanna and a bunch of other families from the church\u2014one man wouldn\u2019t have attacked a crowd.<\/p>\nBut no. It\u2019s all send Laura<\/em> in. And it\u2019s not like Cooper didn\u2019t think this would happen. He did<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cCooper told me to try something if we thought we might be followed, so bear with me, OK?\u201d Laura whispered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
They pretend they\u2019re going to take the elevator down to the baggage level, and wait until the man heads down the escalator. They get in the elevator, wait a few seconds, and then hit the button for the same floor, get out, and dash out to the parking lot where Cooper is waiting in his car (just so no one is worried about the Jody\u2019s missing bags, Jody had already told Laura that she didn\u2019t have<\/em> any checked bags). So, they all hop in the car with Cooper.<\/p>\nJody, for one, is impressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s too bad I\u2019m not in the State Department anymore, Cooper. I could recommend you for a position in intelligence, with good moves like that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Oh\u00a0for god\u2019s sake.\u00a0<\/em>They couldn\u2019t have just called security?!? Think about it\u2014if they thought they were being followed they could have talked to an airport staff person and asked them to call security. They could have asked for a security escort out, or they could have asked security to question the man who was following them. I know Jody isn\u2019t an ambassador anymore, but her status as a former ambassador ought to have given her clout.<\/p>\nUnless Kadar also owns airport security?<\/p>\n
For the millionth time,\u00a0none of this makes sense.<\/em><\/p>\nOh, but guess what. Cooper isn\u2019t done!<\/p>\n
Cooper laughed. \u201cMy next trick is for you to spend the night with Laura. We figured that no one would look for you there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Why the hell would they not<\/em> look for her there? Especially<\/em> after they were followed? It\u2019s not like she hasn\u2019t been all over the tabloids. It\u2019s not like finding her address would be hard.<\/p>\nCooper drops Laura and Jody off at Laura\u2019s place without going in\u2014he says he doesn\u2019t want his car out front, in case Kadar\u2019s people try tracking him after losing Jody at the airport, but I<\/em> think he doesn\u2019t want to be in a house with Jody, even with Laura there, because Laura might get all suspicious, or, you know, he and Jody might accidentally<\/em> have sex if Laura leaves the room for a moment.<\/p>\nLaura, by the way, is not happy with this situation. \u201cThe moment she had truly dreaded had now arrived.\u201d Laura does not want to be alone with Jody. She does not want to get to know Jody, as a flesh and blood person. She does not want this at all. Why the heck couldn\u2019t they have dropped Jody off at a random hotel? She could have used an assumed name. It would probably have been safer than stashing her at Laura\u2019s house, when Laura is a known person and was just seen with her. I mean, I\u2019m pretty sure you could find Laura\u2019s address in a phone book.<\/p>\n
So, it\u2019s awkward. It\u2019s all awkward. Laura asks about Jody\u2019s taking time off from being on\u00a0Politics & Hollywood,\u00a0<\/em>and this exchange happens:<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ll be back in a couple days, assuming I\u2019m alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
The matter-of-fact way she spoke of the question of her own survival momentarily unnerved Laura. \u201cDo you think they would actually \u2026 actually harm you?\u201d Laura asked plaintively.<\/p>\n
Jody nodded. \u201cOhly if they felt they had no other choice. But Kadar wouldn\u2019t hesitate to order me killed if lesser means failed her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you have to say that is so dangerous to them?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it is safer for you not to know. Just in case.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My god. Remind me why Jody is at Laura\u2019s house, endangering her? I mean good grief\u2014Jody says it\u2019s safer for Laura not to know what she\u2019s testifying on. Why? In case someone breaks in and takes them hostage? Is the idea that they\u2019d let Laura live, because she doesn\u2019t know what Jody was going to say\u2014but if she knew, they\u2019d have to kill her too?<\/p>\n
Has Laura been told the level of risk here?<\/p>\n
Anyway, all this talk about dying is the perfect segue for Laura to turn the conversation to religion, and she proceeds to lead Jody to Christ. Before 10:00 pm, she leads Jody through the sinner\u2019s prayer. No, really<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe get cool exchanges like this:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would God do all that? Why would he have his Son die for \u2026 strangers?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the same reason that most mothers are so willing to sacrifice their own lives for those of their children.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That makes literally no sense.<\/p>\n
Jody asked questions for nearly two more hours, but Laura\u2019s patent manner and effective use of Scripture began to be used by the Holy Spirit to penetrate a life and heart that had little thought of God until recently.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I really want to know more of Jody\u2019s backstory. We\u2019re told nothing, except that she had known lots of feminists, including pagan ones who believed in a mother goddess, and that she remembered a Bible verse from her childhood. We get nothing else.<\/p>\n
We do, however, get this:<\/p>\n
Laura wrapped her arms around Jody\u2019s shoulder, and the women the tabloids portrayed as rivals in romance became sisters in Christ, bound together by the love of God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The end.<\/p>\n
This book is less realistic than\u00a0Anonymous Tip\u00a0<\/em>was, and that\u2019s saying something. On the plus side, it looks like Jody is avoiding Gordon\u2019s fate. Unlike Gordon, she doesn\u2019t have to die for the virtuous couple to make it to the altar.<\/p>\nI have a <\/b>Patreon<\/b><\/a>!
