CHAPTER 66

CHAPTER 66

JOHN WAS THE SON of a pastor of a renowned Protestant church in New York who always told incredible stories about his aristocratic family and how they were the most hypocritical people on the face of the earth.

— One day you will be a great man on this Earth, Johnny, just promise me one thing, that when you have to face your destiny, look to the sky and know that you will make the right choice, even if it costs your own life.— life.

— Of course dad, I promise.

That was his graduation day from the cadet academy.

Unlike his father, who had the same name as him, John was not very religious, he was a centered person and had the most accurate logical/deductive thinking that the FBI has ever had.

On his first day of work, he was already on the covers of all the newspapers in the world with a lie, that Nikola Tesla had died a natural death.

— I don't condone it!!! he exploded at his boss.

— John, one day you will understand that...

— I will never understand the lie, Chris, I will never produce the lie...

— Not everyone is you, John, sometimes we have to do things we're not proud of.

— No Chris, I would never do something my kids couldn't be proud of.

And so John lived from glory to personal glory, but he never had two privileges in his life, that of being a father and being the director of the FBI precisely because of his exacerbated honesty and not knowing how to deal very well with liars.

HIS FIRST FREEDOM STAR came when John was on vacation in the Caribbean and a child was drowning, he jumped on the beach and saved her, the child was the daughter of Senator Jones Johnson who nominated him for an act of bravery, which John said he didn't have. it was no big deal, but it had been all over the papers.

— If we had a son, he'd be so proud of you, Johnny.

— The important thing is that you're proud of me, Claire.

— I'm always proud, even though I think I need to be less heroic.

— These days, anyone who acts honestly is considered a hero, Claire.

And with that came several other Stars of Liberty, the most important medal in the United States of America.
