75 chapter 8

ould shake your hands, but you see that I am unCindy spoke, "How can I help you, sir?"

The man in black put something down the front of her blouse. Cindy pulled something out of her pocket and punched the man in the jaw. He was taken completely off guard and knocked down to the floor from a punch with brass knuckles. Cindy had been taught to fight by her lover and she was a good student. She had Pete put a makeshift knife in all her high heels for protection. The heel tip could be taken off and it could be used a knife and put back together in a couple of seconds.

Cindy pulls off her left heel tip-off and kicked the shoes off. She stabbed the man in his forehead

several times before the two women had to pull her back.

Cindy spoke, "Get fresh with me, will ya? I will kill you after I rape you in the butt with your two-inch pecker! I had killed a worse man than you pervert! Get out of my building your mother…"

One of the plumbers came in the back door and saw the three women and the bloodied stranger.

He pulled out his magnum and pointed it at the man.

"Get out of here, before I finish you off for good," he said.

The man in black got up and ran out of the building and leaped into a speeding car.

Cindy had calmed down and she threw the envelope out of her bra and into the nearest trash can. Something catches her eye on the way into the trash. She is curious about what she might have seen.

She bends over to pick it up and she is taken back about she had just seen.

It was Pete's handwriting and it said, "To my lover, Cindy from your headache, Pete."

She fell down her knees as she opened the thick envelope and saw that it was plum full of Rindats and a handwritten letter. Pete had told Cindy how much he loved her and how much he missed her.

But what was most touched her was, "I have friends now that are honest people, besides Bob. The

old boy is so non-confrontational in nature, due to feeling obligated to me for protecting his big butt

from the hellhole. I am with our big friend and some other good old reverent boys. They will help me to not relapse, while I am away. Just trust and believe..."

The letter just stops there and Cindy could not find any more of Pete's letter. It would be her treasure until her baby daddy returned.

Back at Billy and his sibling's farm, Big Bill and his sister Susie to do the work of three people, without their brother. They had prayed that they would be able to do it by themselves like they had done in the past with their brother. So, far it was going great on most days. During their busiest season, they could now afford day labors to help them during the large harvest that they had every year. This was due to Billy sending back most of his paycheck back to them. Billy was given some rations and if he was lucky a place to lay his head. He did not need much money since he did not have any bills to pay while fighting in the war.

Billy and Susie had built a simple flophouse to keep the workers on the property to save them

money. This was because most of the laborers were worst off than they were. Susie led cooking and cleaning for everybody, while Bill leads the operation of the farm. Sometimes, they would switch to give each other a break from the daily grind of doing the same thing every day. Bill would lead a church service outside the house in the backyard, with wooden folding chairs for whoever may be there that day. Cindy would lead the worship service with singing and flute playing. The workers were invited to attend out of their own free will, along with the nearby farmers. The siblings, even picked up a few people so that they could attend the Sunday service as well.

Susie would do the laundry of all the workers when she had cleaning duties and patch up any holes in their clothes. A lot of the workers wanted to work for the duo since they were so nice to work

for. Bill would not deal with any foolishness or allow any drunkenness on the property. He didn't care

if they did it somewhere else, as long as they wouldn't bring back to farm any contraband back with them. Billy and Susie were raised in a Godly home and they would fire anyone on the spot if they brought with them any beer or drugs on the property. They believed that the farm was God's gift to the family and it was sacred to them. Except for that, the brother and sister were very patient with the workers.

The humble farmers had up to five church meetings a week so that every in the county would

have the chance to attend one service a week if they were unable to attend the meetings on Sunday. One

night after church, the workers were given ice cream and apple pie for working so hard the previous week. All the laborers had their fill and went back to the flophouse to rest when they heard a knock on the front door. It was a strange event since everybody had driven up to the backdoor to visit the family.

Billy and Susie did not have the chance to get out of their Sunday best.

Bill was nervous, yet answered the door, however.

It was a man in a white dress shirt and a black suit and shades.

Bill spoke, "I am sorry to tell you that church is over, but I can give you a short Bible study before I go to hit the hay."

The mib smiled and spoke, "I am not here for that since I am here on Urano business."

Bill and Susie were nervous since they had killed some government workers and dumped their cars in a nearby ravine. But, they didn't say anything to not let out a clue to what had happened in the past.

Susie walked towards the front door, but her older brother had put himself between his sister and this strange man. The siblings did not trust any government officials since they had been

so dirty with dealing with their family throughout the generations.

Susie spoke, "Are you here about our brother, Billy? Is he okay, since we had heard from him,

since you all took him from us last year?"

Bill tried to hush his sister, but the mib nodded in agreement. Susie was tickled, like a gleeful

schoolgirl going on her first real date.

The man in black broke out into laughter, that mad Bill feels like his family's birth defects were being made fun of. The family could joke about it, but no one else could the same. It was just how they were as people.

The man in black was about to be kicked in the head by Big Bill when the stranger put his hands up in a defensive position.

Susie spoke, "Calm down Bill, you are always getting unto Billy for having a hot temper. You have got to practice what you preach."

Bill pulled back his leg back down to the floor.

The man in black spoke, "I am sorry that I offended you, but I couldn't believe that you all were exactly as the government file had said. I couldn't believe that it was true at first, but I see that it was true. Billy is at war right now and here is his sign on bonus, as he had requested to be given to you. It

is a big sum of money for a new recruit, but the higher ups wanted it to be so."

The money was handed to Bill and then was handed over to his sister to hold for now.

Susie gasped, "How did the old boy get such a wad. It is racks upon racks, as one of our workers

had spoken of."

The mib spoke, "If I could be so forward, the guys at work had made a bet with me that I couldn't get a photo with you two. Can I prove them wrong by taking a picture with you."

Bill spoke, "If it is okay with Susie, then it is okay with me."

Susie spoke, "How much money is the bet if you win it?"

The stranger spoke, "It was a thousand Rindats that we had bet on."

She spoke, "Then let's make a man a little money. I am proud of how the Lord had made us."

The man in black pulled out a hover phone out of his pocket and had it hover in the arm.

Bill spoke, "Let's get close together for the picture, but don't get fresh with Susie or you will

be hog feed."

The picture was taken without incident.

Susie spoke, "Thanks for being so nice to us. Wait up and I will give you some ice cream and pie

to take back to the office with you."

The stranger spoke, "Please bring two spoons, I have got a buddy back in the car."

Cindy did as requested and brought back two foam cups of a desert with two plastic spoons sticking out.

The stranger spoke, "I would shake your hands, but you see that I am unable to do that at this time."Bill opened the door as Susie waved bye to the two men in black. They then drove off to who knows where.

The visiting man in black spoke, "I can't believe that they are how we were told that they would be. They let me take their picture with them and even gave us ice cream for visiting. I won that bet, now you all are going to pay up."

The driver didn't respond since he was too busy driving with one hand and eating with the other.
