A couple of hours later we got another

thump. It consisted of another note,

thanking me for the food and telling

me that I would get a few hour off

from the flames for my kindness. it

also included a phone number.

Hallelujah!

I gave it a dial. A loud voice answered

at the other end.

"Temple of God Annex. May the Lord

come into your life."

"This is Red. Can I talk with Micah?"

"He's busy at the moment, trying to

lead a poor, misguided believer to

the Light."

Well, in war there are casualties. I

figgered the tele-evangelist deserved

what he was receiving. At least I didn't

have to listen. Yet.

"Well, when the Lord grants him a

moment of respite, could you have

him call me back at my number?"

"Let me get a piece of paper."

I waited. The voice at the other

end came back and I left my number.

"And, by the way, could you take a

message? Do any of your

unenlightened guests need any

medicines? I wouldn't want any of

them to go to Judgement before

you've had a chance to Save them."

The person at the other end

thought that was being quite

neighborly and would pass it on

as soon as Micah came up for air.

I hung up and went to see the

Hoover doll.

"Do we have a list of medical conditions

and maintence medications needed

by the hostages? I'd like to get all

the needed medications on hand

before they call back."

The Hoover doll scurried off. Nothing to

do now but wait.



An hour later my phone rang.

"Red speakin'. "

"This is Micah. Thanks for the

Bar-be-que. The dog seemed to be

very pleased with the bacon. I don't

know why."

"Just trying to do my Christian duty.

Speakin' of duties. Did you get my

message about medicines?"

"Yes. I'll send the list back by

trebuchet so you'll have a hard

copy."

"Can you send the tele-evangelist

back with the cart? That way we

can use him as a go-between for

more food and meds. You'll get

some more innings with him later."

"Certainly. He is misguided, but I

expect to lead him to the light

eventually."

I personally figgered the only light

he wanted to led to was the one

behind a mistress while she was

wearin' some translucent nighty,

but I kept my mouth shut.

"Fine, I expect he'll look forward to

that. Now, if you don't mind,

Micah, I'd like to slip in a little

business. Do you mind tellin' me

why did you decide to Witness

to a bunch of heathen diplomats."

"Red, in a world filled with war,

hate, and evil, we need

ministers to go forth among

nations to speak the Truth

to the misguided and heathen.

The decision was made among

us that it would be better to

show the Light to professional

ministers, who were knowledgeable

in the ways of persuasion, that to try to

train the Enlighted in the ways of the

unwashed world."

Yep, if it worked, you'd get a lower

defection rate. Lower than 99%, anyway.

"Sounds like a hard but viable plan."

"The progress has been very slow. None

of the diplomats seem inclined to

walk the path to Righteousness, no

matter how we try to engage them.

Even the dog seems to delight in

being obstinate."

"How does a dog manage to do that?"

"You think he'd could understand the

spoken language. Impossible, of

course, for a dog. He has done

unspeakable acts to my shoes,

while I've been engaged in

Witnessing the Gospel to the

massed ministers. Why an

unhousebroken dog was in a

meeting of ambassadors, I

will never understand."

"Maybe they wanted to have

something to sneer at. You

know how arrogant the

ambassadors are. I'll bet some

of them have told you that

you could find the floor with

your hat."

"They were far less polite than that,

Red. Still, such abuses are part

of the Calling, one learns to ignore

the insult of the unwashed as

they are led to the Light."

"Well, let's leave it at that. Oh,

before I hang up, what and

when would you like some more

food? That way I can have it

ready when you need it."

"I think fish would be nice. Around 6 PM

should be fine."

"That sounds appropriate for a fisher

of souls, such as yourself. I'll

get a bunch from Sea Island.

If you send to tele-evangelist

back now, and pitch the medicine

list as well, we'll be good to go.

I'll give you a ring when dinner

is ready to be shipped across."

"You're been a good go-between, so

far, for a heathen. We'll wait for

you call around 6."

"Fine, talk to you then."

A couple of minutes later I heard a

thump in the yard, and saw the

tele-evangelist wheeling the

now-empty cart back.

I turned to the Hoover doll.

"Looks like it's going better than

I thought."

"It doesn't look like it's going at

all." he muttered.

"Nonsense, there's been no talk of

hostage executions, or other nasty

treatments. We've got a real

thoughtful bunch of kidnappers here.

I hope they just stay stupid. And I

hope VR will stop peeing on their

shoes. That's liable to get him shot.

Or a long, looong bath...."

I kept an eye on the tele-evangelist as he

pushed the buggy back. My grandpappy

taught me that the difference between

looking and seeing was paying attention

to the whole environment, not just the

item of interest.

I didn't notice any thing funny from the

Pearl building, but...

"Hey, FBI guy, just how are your agents

dressed? I know better than to

ask you where they are."

He gave me a funny look. "They are all

either in standard suits or in

black flak jackets with FBI

across the front and back.

Why?"

"Quietly go to another window, and look

with a pair of binoculars at the

14th bridge pillar down from the

north on the I-37 bridge. Just to

the north of the pillar. Look real

carefully and come back and

tell me what you see. "

He scuttled off. The tele-evangelist came

in and motioned to me.

"When can I get some time off? I have my

flock to look after."

"Well, we need to feed the denizens at

six. Can you make it back by

5:45? I hope to get them

tamed enough to allow

somebody else to feed them

in a couple of days. Then

you can rest on your laurels."

He grumbled that that wasn't much

time off, but he made a beeline

to the parking lot.

The Hoover doll came back lookin'

real nervous. "I'm not sure, but

it looks like, um well..."

"Come on, spit it out."

"It looks like a sniper nest. A really

well set up sniper nest."

"Yep, that's what I saw as well.

May I gather that it's not one of

your guys?"

"It's not one of ours. I don't have

a clue who he is or why he's

there."

"Somebody's kibitzing. I'd better

find out who. Let me call

Micah first and clue him in."

"Why would you do that? You'll

just spook them."

"Who's making the mistakes around

here, me or you?"

"You are. I know my orders."

"You build trust by helping. So, I'm

gonna build some trust with

Micah. Meanwhile, do you have

a wire setup around here I

can strap on?"

"Yes, but why do you want a wire rig?"

"Because I want you in full listening

mode while I'm talking to the

sniper. I'm going unarmed,

because snipers have reflexes

and they get real jumpy when

somebody sneaks up on them

and says "Boo". Last thing you

want is a gun to trigger their

shootin' reflex.

"While you're at it, can you quietly

get a couple of SWAT sharpshooters

zeroed in on that sniper? I might

need some instant support. And

the wire will keep you and them

in the loop without it being

obvious."

The Hoover doll looked at me with a

little more respect. "It'll take

about 15 minutes to set up."

"Fine. I'm gonna drive around his back

and walk up from behind.

That's take 15-20 minutes

and I've gotta give Micah a

ring first."

He got on his cell phone and so did I.




"Temple Of God Annex. May you see

the Light."

"Hello, this is Red. Can I speak with

Micah?"

"He's currently at his devotions. Could

you call back later?"

"I'm afraid it's rather urgent. I wouldn't

interrupt the most important thing

in his life without cause."

"I'll check and see."

A few minutes later, I got a response.

"Alright, Red, what's so important

that it can't wait?"

"I don't mean to scare you, but please

avoid lookin' out any windows

and have you followers do the

same."

There was a burst of some choice

language.

"Now, now. And you a man of the cloth.

I'm tryin' to help, not cause further

problems."

"Alright, what's going on?"

"I've spotted a sniper nest zeroed in on

the building, and the FBI assures

me it's not one of theirs. Somebody's

kibitzing. I don't want any incidents

on either side. I'm gonna go over

and talk to the sniper to see who

he's workin' for. I plan to walk up

from behind, so's he doesn't get

itchy. It'll take me about 15 minutes

to get there. I'll call and let you

know when I find out something."

"Go with the Spirit."

"Y tu tambien."



I hung up. The Hoover doll had finished

his instructions and was looking

at me.

"We'll be ready in fifteen minutes."

"Time I got goin'. "

I wandered out to the parkin' lot and

got into the car...

No ma'am, just a sidelite of my life. (Of course, being long-term unemployed gives me more time to pursue sidelites....

Actually, these yarns all have big flaws in them. I don't describe the background hardly at all. I focus exclusively on the sentinel beings and their interactions. That's Ok for all the readers here, but somebody who wasn't a MR regular would be totally lost and confused. Purely non-commercial, but I have fun doing them....
