Great to meet you, Michael Bret Hood. Do you know about the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team?

Yes I do, Maurice.

Great, Michael Bret Hood. I wrote a TV pilot once where the protagonist was on the Hostage Rescue Team. I researched the HRT online, but I called the FBI to ask one or two questions.

Being a little crazy helped in my previous life as well, Robin.
