I got a soda and came back to the secret hiding place of my duffel bag. IT WAS GONE!!! Panic. Then a Marine in dress uniform said "come with me." I went up to the marine office on the 2nd floor of Grand Central. The two Marines in the office asked, "Let me see a copy of your orders." I complied. And one said to come in and look around the corner in the office. There was my duffel bag.

"Let that be a lesson. Always keep hold of your rifle and your duffel bag."

Then I asked how to get to Fort Jay. One Marine took me down the the South Ferry subway. I made it.

I hope I've entertained some people.

Maxy. :)
