Character Interview: Jaz Mossberg
IINN: This is Chelsea Bingham coming to you from Independent Internet News Network. I’m here with Jazmine Mossberg, daughter of Captain Beverly Mossberg. How are you, Jaz?
JM: Okay.
IINN: You and your brother, Michael, stowed away in a Humvee –
JM: It was Michael’s idea!
IINN: Okay, okay. I’m not pointing any fingers. I just wanted to ask why you felt compelled to accompany your Mom.
JM: Well, it was better than staying at that Fort Dixon place. It was like a prison! So many rules and regulations. I just couldn’t stay there.
IINN: Didn’t you think your Mom would be upset?
JM: (grunts) Of course I knew Mom would be upset. But I also knew there wasn’t much she could do about it.
IINN: I take it you and your Mom don’t always get along?
JM: Puh-leeze. Mom’s crazy, it’s that simple.
IINN: Okay, let’s change the subject. Do you feel the author Pen portrayed your character accurately?
JM: No way! She made me look like a spoiled brat!
IINN: And you don’t think you are?
JM: Of course not! I just have a very clear vision of the way things should be and when they’re not the way they’re supposed to be, I have the mind to say so.
IINN: I see. Have you ever met the author Pen?
JM: Yeah. She’s okay.
IINN: Just okay?
JM: Well, she is a grown-up.
IINN: Okay, thanks, Jaz! Really appreciate your time. This is Chelsea Bingham coming to you from Independent Internet News Network.
