Her agent told her all about Jack

He lived a regular life and worked a nine to five job

But had made a secret fortune inventing medical devices

And built up a network of similar people worldwide

Each of his contacts led simple lives 

But were amassing fortunes from their clandestine activities

He had founded a charitable foundation

And his group were channeling Billions into it

Her agent wanted her to meet Jack

Jack’s secret life was exactly what she needed to research

She told him to set it up soon

Then rushed to buy food for tonight’s meal

Her husband was more grumpy than usual over dinner

She asked if work was worrying him

No its just as boring as ever he said

I have been trying to meet the author of my favorite books

She froze in anticipation of his next words 

I guess she is too busy writing to meet boring old me he sighed

Perhaps best to let it drop she said

She is probably not the person you are expecting

He was unusually quiet the rest of the evening

He did not read in bed 

He tossed and turned all night

She wondered if he was having an affair

She checked her emails

Her agent had set up a meeting with Jack

At a neutral venue with some back-up staff for her security

Researching was as much fun as writing for her

She met Jack the next day

Quite a handsome fellow with a charming manner

He insisted on telling his story in more detail over dinner

She hesitated but accepted his invitation
