here's another half post (the other half will be in the morning and in the e-book form these will be combined into one post), with another cliffhanger....

"HALLELUJAH! THE LORD HAS SPOKEN!!!!"

A Glock suddenly popped up in each of my hand.

"AND THE LORD SAYS, STICK YOUR HANDS UP AND MARCH SLOWLY TO THE DOOR!"

Micah was quick on the uptake a dropped down behind his fellows and grabbed the bomb detonator box and fiddled with it. Meanwhile, some of the members were starting to eye the assault rifles along the wall. I better stop that...

'Don't even think about it. You'll be dead before ever get to the wall, much less aim and fire...So just stick 'em up, like good boys and girls. The Temple Of God Annex is going to relocate to Levenworth."

During this time I had been backing up to the big vat behind me.

"I think not." said Micah, and waved the box while holding onto to it with one hand. "Drop the guns or I'll blow you and the hostages up."

"What hostages? They're all safe in the hands of the FBI."

"Impossible. I had a guard on every exit."

"Wanna bet? Your real tough guys got taken out by a 90 year old priest. You thought he was chasing VR. That was a show to give him cover to knock out and tie up the guards. He led the hostages out while you were singin' hymns."

"You... You... " followed by a burst of real nasty words.

"Now, now, a preacher shouldn't talk like that, even to an unwashed heathen."

"I still have the upper hand, Red. I can still take you and this building out."

"Maybe so, but will you? I don't think so."

"And give up destroying this house of poison? And a fast-talking liar like you?"

"Now I don't think I told you one lie. I may have left out an item or two, but no lies. You're just not as smart as you thought you were, Micah."

"Maybe not, Red, but I'm smarter that you think I am. You're in the middle of the building, and we're over by a corner. we have a much better chance of surviving than you do. Give it up. Red."

"What's life without your favorite beer, Micah? Blow it if you have the cojones, I'm not lettin' you out of here free."

Which way would the frog hop?
