Devastating Secret™

Who is David Green?

Noah had his ass chewed out for about an hour. Then she babied him to death for the next month by cutting down his itinerary, stuffing him with food, and having a doctor check him every day. He couldn't even complain about it. The minute he did, it would set her off. He'd have to listen to her lecture about him not being a soldier, making plans behind her back, and risking his life. The only thing she was happy about was that he severed the puissant hand and suggested next time he aims lower.

The burn was healing, but it was going to leave a monstrous scar up his left side from his hip to armpits. A plastic surgeon was also brought in, to consult with him on possible plastic surgery.

Noah only had one question, "Does it bother you, Eva?"

"Of course not!" She denied quickly, cementing why he loved her, "It's your body."

Smiling at her, he told the surgeon, "Take your services to the soldiers that were injured that night. Do for them what you were going to do for me."

The surgeon smiled in return and saluted him before he left.

"You had to outdo me, didn't you. "Eva smirked, "I have a bullet wound. You got a bullet wound and Noah goes how do I top this- I know 'I'll get in front of a bomb!'." Eva teased.

"That wasn't my intention, Eva."

"I know I heard about the 'plan'," Eva said using air quotes.

"You think you could've done better."

"You know I could have done better without the unnecessary loss of life."

"It would've raised too many questions."

"Questions they'd stop asking when the answers wouldn't come."

"Speaking of which – Alex called," Noah recalled, "There was one mafia boss who was brutally murdered at the time. His house was destroyed by fire with his men around him, but someone took their time with a nine iron while the house burned. This was in Seattle. Now here's what really odd. Moss was able to match your DNA to a murder in a house in New Orleans over thirty years ago."

"My mother died in New Orleans?"

Noah nodded then continued, "It wasn't reported as the body went missing from the morgue."

"He took her body. That's why it's buried here. There's a dummy grave in Italy, he only recently told me her grave was here. I thought he recently moved it from Italy. I didn't know it was always here."

"Where is it?"

"Next to David Green's in St. Eve's cemetery in Portland Maine."

"He buried them together."

"His reasoning was since people thought they were married it would make sense that I put them together."

"But he did. Why?" Noah scratched at his unshaven jaw as he thought. "He seems to respect David Green enough to bury him next to the woman he loved. We have to find out more about David Green. He's got to be the clue to all this."

"I did do some searching on David Green. There's nothing there!" Eva informed him.

"Then we dig him up."

Two weeks later in the dead of night the POTUS, FLOTUS, Tyler, Alex, and Moss were digging up the grave of one David Green.

"It would be easier to get an excavation permit," Moss quipped as she guided them with the flashlight.

"It faster and quieter this way," Eva remarked holding her own flashlight.

"Why don't you want everyone to know you're looking for your family? I'm sure it will be much easier if we had more help." Suzanna asked.
