our side . He was an American Special Forces agent . His former job : nuclear submarine combat specialist . He had controlled a nuclear bomb button . No wonder I could not win against him . Even Bella Abzug could not prevail against someone who could destroy the world . Now , twenty years after Liam ’ s submarine sojourn , he was assigned to protect the Empire State Building . It was necessary for him to keep all of his highly sensitive electronic surveillance equipment cold . The air conditioners always knew that Liam kept them on to protect the national interest . They decided to define me as collateral damage . Although I understood their reasoning and I was not quite as upset with them , they still did not sit well with me .
The Muldoon-Fats ultimately became my best friends in the building . They compromised by agreeing to turn off their air conditioners in the morning and during the dinner hour . After running a background check on me , Liam found out that I had devoted my life to research and teaching . He respected me . He belatedly realized that Gomorrah and Android were horrors . We were now on the same side . To nullify the combined force of Gomorrah and Android , I joined forces with a Special Forces agent .
When our air conditioner broke and she could not explain to me how she could be fixed , I turned to Liam for advice . “ My air conditioner is no longer functioning . Its wall sleeve has the same configuration as yours . Please tell me how you repaired your air conditioner ?”
“ Glad to help . No sweat ,” said Liam . Before Fruma Sarah returned to her grave and rested in peace , I asked her to tell Fiedler that I was grateful for his thoughtful intervention . I enjoyed relative peace too . Although I had few friends in the building , I could always count on the Muldoon-Fats ’ door to be one of them . Even though the air conditioner war was over and I was on good terms with them , I sometimes gave the door a Subway sandwich just for old time ’ s
sake . The door did not like Purina Nuga Chow .
