Bolivia didn't have any extradition treaties with the U.S., did it? "In 1996, the United States and Bolivia ratified anew extradition treaty which makes it easier for both nations to more effectively prosecute drug traffickers and other criminals. It replaces the previous extradition treaty, which came into force in 1990. The new treaty is significant because, unlike its predecessor, it requires both countries to extradite their own nationals for serious criminal offenses." Source: traveldocs.com - Jeff

As the airliner descended towards La Paz International Air Terminal, a small, tuxedoed 70s icon named Herve could be seen shouting near the runway, "De plane — de plane!". And deplane they did, as Muffy and the rest of the passengers disembarked to be greeted by a regal looking gentleman. Swarthy…no, wait…overly-tanned, he could have passed as auto upholstery; his skin bearing more than a passing resemblance to fine Corinthian leather. Still, his pores exuded charm like the out-of-control melted butter popcorn machine at the Stardust twin-screen matinee theatre. As he belted out a hearty "Welcome to Bolivian Fantasy…" monologue, a voice from the crowd shouted, "Didn't you used to work on some island somewhere?" "Well, that was when I still had a slot before the Love Boat crew started making regular appearances to shore up ratings. After that, I had to reprise the Khan schtick in 'Star Trek II' and my Screen Actors Guild card got torched in a Nielsen photon torpedo implosion," replied their host adding, "What a long, strange trip it's been!" The unexpected layover in Bolvia would thankfully be short. The flight would continue on schedule after picking up a few hundred thousand extra kilos of crates marked "Just Plain-Wrapped Coffee Beans, Honest!" signed for by Juan Valdez and his burro. Muffy and the "guests" mingled at the airport's finest restaurant, depositing money into vending slots for chocolate bars. The social milieu provided many interesting clues for the next part of her adventure, from a wide variety of sources, such as: "Gosh Kobe, I know the trial sounds bad and your career is in the dumps, but cheer up. As an experienced working girl, I can tell ya for sure that you're a much better lover than Magic Johnson!" …and… "Freeze!" yelled by men in blue jackets with the letters "D", "E" and "A" on the back, telling everyone to get down on the floor. "The DEA?" gasped Muffy, "What is it?"... Muffy decides to: A. …eavesdrop on more of Kobe Bryant's conversation, turn to page 133. B. …be strip-searched and violated by the agents, please refer to Chapter 19. C. …continue the journey with the Tattoo and Ricardo, <font color=blue> click here</font>.
