BY WAY OF DECEPTION 49when I saw how long it would take, I'd want him to transfer somemore money for me. We actually got through the money part in 10or 15 minutes, and then we started socializing. Within an hour, Iknew everything about the man.After completing that test, two other trainees and I were taken tothe Tal Hotel again and told to wait until the others got back. Wewere there no more than 10 minutes when six men walked in. Onesaid, "That's him," pointing directly at me."Come with us," said another. "You don't want to create a fuss inthe hotel.""What do you mean?" I asked. "I haven't done anything." "Comewith us," said one, flashing a badge.They put all three <strong>of</strong> us in a van, blindfolded us, and began todrive helter skelter around the city. Eventually we were taken intoa building, still blindfolded, and separated.

Was I planning a terrorist act? Where did Ilive?At one point he said they'd take me to my address. I knew it wasan empty lot, so I started laughing. He asked why I was laughingand I said I thought it was a funny situation. I was privatelythinking <strong>of</strong> being taken there and saying, "My house! Where is myhouse?" I couldn't stop laughing."This must be some kind <strong>of</strong> joke," I said. "What do you want?"He said he wanted my jacket. It was a Pierre Balmain blazer. So hetook it. Then he took all my clothes away. I was naked when theywalked me back to my bathroom, and just before they closed thedoor, somebody threw a bucket <strong>of</strong> water on me.
