George Martin and Mike Foster have been best friends since childhood, but recent events have brought them even closer together: Mike has moved into George’s house now that George’s unfaithful boyfriend has been kicked out. It puts Mike in a pinch, because he’s always loved George -- maybe more than a best friend should.<br><br>George doesn’t suspect Mike’s feelings, being wrapped up in his job as the youngest lieutenant in the Jacksonville sheriff’s office and investigating a series of murders. But it will all come to a head when George is stalked by a psycho and Mike steps in front of a bullet meant for George. George then realizes there’s much more to their relationship than he thought.

Bodies of Work

We went to the Y a bit earlier than usual the next morning, and I was in an office building being ushered into Nick Metaxas’ office promptly at seven thirty. I shook his hand, and he introduced me to the two agents who were with him.


“We have a television and a combination VHS/DVD player set up in a conference room,” Nick said. We went down a short hallway and entered a small conference room. I handed him the original copy of the VHS tape and a DVD copy, along with a CD that contained several versions of Bob Jones’ picture in both .bmp and .jpg formats.


“If you pop the VHS tape into your machine without disturbing it,” I said, “the relevant images will be about three minutes in from that point.”


One of the agents inserted the tape, and Nick handed me the control. It took me a minute to get used to the feel of the control, but I was intimately acquainted with the tape by that point, and I paused it at just the right spot.
