Scott Payne

And then we go upstairs, and for the rest of the night, I'm just an adrenaline dump.

And the thing that a lot of people didn't know or don't know, there's a lot of training in this, but everybody asked me, what would you have said if he had found it?

My only answers that I had in my head, the first one would have been probably a joke.

It would have been like, hey, if you'd have said, what is this?

I'd have said, I don't know, some naked pictures of the old lady because he already threw me that bone.

But the only other thing I had in my head, and I remember it like it was yesterday, it was the gig is up.

I'm an undercover FBI agent and I can walk out of here and we can see each other in court or all hell's going to break loose.

So for me, as far as undercover stuff goes, I would always stick pretty close to myself.

I mean, my name's Scott.

It's a common name.

So I'm Scott.

I may or may not be married.

I may or may not have kids, may not have played college ball, things like that.

But you can probably bet that I lift weights and ride motorcycles.

And I'm still the jovial guy cracking jokes, doing my thing.

The jokes are usually the same, you know, and that's just that's just me.

Yeah.

I want to put it on training, or sometimes I just ask people, what does undercover mean to you?

What do you think?

And you'll get things like, oh, you're acting, you're lying, you're pretending to be somebody else.
