It was the beginning of the Summer when I first approached Ryan to handle the security for this event. He recognized the challenges immediately. His exact quote was "Sarah's a loose cannon we'll have the terrorists after us before we know it."
This is when he started constructing what he refers to as "little Gitmo". A place where he could intimidate the enemy and restrain them while retracting valuable information from them to aide his security team in the fight against terrorism. His cover was this, just an average guy that tinkers with old cars. No one would suspect it.
Our cover was almost blown one morning early in August, when an unsuspecting building inspector stumbled upon our "shop" actually a highly technical torture chamber. Ryan wanted to handle him "dirty harry style" but I feared the man might end up at the bottom of the Columbia River. We enlisted Howard to take care of this.
There is another side to Howard that many do not know. He gets a thrill out of attempting to beat the system. Unsuspecting traffic cops have been no match for him in a court of law. We all owe our freedom to him.
If you are a neighbor of Missy's and wonder why you are hearing slow dripping water and Britney Spears music coming from their garage, it's just Ryan washing the car. Or is it. There aren't any Osmonds posed in a pyramid, at the moment.

Since the family secrets are coming out. I must verify that the cover of being mild mannered Quality Assurance Engineer is exactly that, only a cover. Underneath that inconspicuous exterior is truely a 007 who plays many roles. Howard hides this fact to stay totally involved in his children's lives and keep secret tabs on them. Such as for Brad he plays the exacting accountant, for Missy, the fact finding attorney who keeps the inspectors in line, for Josh and Jenni the ever able carpenter to keep their houses functioning. This way he stays totally in the know without them catching on that he secretly has a huge input.
