Iverson's Vision Quest Chapter 8

Iverson's Vision Quest - Chapter 8

(See "Iverson's Vision Quest - the story so far" for the beginning of the story. Click on the cute face of Iverson on the right of this post.)

     While a contestant on "The Apprentice," Melvin had always felt caught off guard. If only he'd had advanced notice of the nature of the challenges and some knowledge of where the cameras would be placed! Melvin decided to use Iverson, first to learn about Trump's plan for the next run of "The Apprentice," and then to discover material for blackmail or bribery to guarantee Melvin a second chance to appear on the reality show.

     Iverson's mission was to infiltrate D.T.'s inner sanctum and to glue a microdot listening device to Trump's scalp underneath the Donald's thick, lush hair. "Do this for me, and I'll drive you all the way to Canada," Melvin promised holding crossed fingers behind his back.

"Oh, c'est marvaileuse!!"  Merci, merci, mon ami," ("Oh, it's marvelous!! Thank you thank you my friend") In a moment of ecstasy, he had reverted to his native French. 

      So Melvin dressed Iverson up in a mini camouflage suit fitted with a back pack of mini burglar tools, and a micro-dot listening device, along with a mini tube of super glue for sticking the dot to D.T.'s pate.

   Shortly before five o'clock, Melvin drove Iverson to a spot three blocks north of Trump Tower and pointed the way to the tower's front door. Iverson entered the lobby of the building unnoticed, and settled himself behind a lush potted ficus to wait until most of the employees had left the building before making his way to the air duct. Iverson had memorized his path through the ventilation system. Right turn, left turn, proceed past the dining hall to the vertical chute, and then straight up to the Donald's penthouses suite. Inside the penthouse he found D.T. alone in his study pouring over his notes for the next "Apprentice" series. Iverson eased his way through the vent's grill and landed unnoticed on the Donald's head.
