Author Notes and Miscellany

General note: The Witness Protection Program, according to Lara's half-assed research, does not officially exist and may actually be a creation of Hollywood. There is a Witness Security Program (WITSEC), administered by the United States Marshals (http://www.usdoj.gov/marshals/witsec.html, and thanks to Thorne for the link). However, actual Witness Protection details are probably from Lara's head and should not be taken as real or researched.

Rating: R (language)

Music: Tonic, "Knock Down Walls"

Notes: None

Rating: R (language, sexual situations, naked Syd)

Music: Fleetwood Mac, "Go Your Own Way;" Soul Asylum, "Without A Trace;" Don Henley, "End of the Innocence"

Notes: Lara has never been to the airport in Phoenix. She did, however, calculate the driving time, using either http://www.zip2.com or http://www.expedia.com. Her memory's not that good, and that chapter was a long time ago.

Rating: R (language, sexual situations)

Music: Hal Ketchum, "Past the Point of Rescue;" Crosby, Stills and Nash, "Love the One You're With;" Robert Plant, "29 Palms;" Peal Jam, "Black;" Collapsis, "October;" Beatles, "Yesterday;" Elton John, "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues;" Stevie Nicks, "Ever Did Believe;" Better Than Ezra, "This Time of Year."

Notes: The Great Gatsby, of course, refers to the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, copyright 1925. Fitzgerald is referenced in episode 1x14, "The Coup," although not to Vaughn. That would be Lara taking creative liberty. Heh.
