Sheralee; Learning Kim's way

I am playing around trying to find a way to tell the story of tiny little 4’11 Sheralee. Sheralee join when she was 17 and many things have happened until this point. Here she is about 28, she is under Kim, Kim is a direct bloodline descendant from an ancient Japanese female assassin cult, and her four daughters are her splitting image, little ladies. Charzelle she is Sheralee’s other half, very complex how that came around, but any way Charzelle is one of the most important characters in the whole story, and yet she is the most complex, Anastasia is her doll, she remains with Charzelle at all times. Toi is a 6’4 black woman, her trainer told her that if she was a man she would be world champion. Hit woman is a 1972 Chev impala, and Noddy is a 5 pound panel beater’s hammer. The rest is to complex to explain without writing the novel.  Let me know if you ca see a better way to get these people across, and turn them into living people. 1

We are in the living room, waiting for Kim. We know tonight is big because Kim has called for all of her best.  We sit trying to focus in silence, all but Charzelle, she is reading a book, while talking in English to whoever is listening.2

“Some times I have to read it over again, because the other side is different.” 3

Turns the book upside down,4

“See! Lucky books are small or we’ll have to stand on how heads to see the truth.  I have a disease.  It is contagious.  It is killing me!  It is a cancer eating my brain away.  It is called reading.  Other people’s voices get in my head and tell lies.  Here I will read you this, ‘He came down the mountain looking tired.’ “See lies!  He is digging the devil out of the hole that I’d buried him in.  He is being sneaky, he knows if I knew he was digging the devil up, I’ll burying him with him as well.  Why does he want to dig the devil up?  I just got to burying him again.  Here here here, I’ll read you this, ‘they embraced each other and kissed.’  He’s sucking her intestines out!  Yucky!  No one will suck my intestines out. How can anyone stand having their guts sucked out through their mouth?  Look look look at this lie, ‘she made him his favourite breakfast, bacon and eggs.’  Yucky!  Only a pig would eat bacon, the sow is rooting a pig!  I can understand a horse but a pig!  How can she stomatic rooting a pig?” 5

Holding the book up showing a picture of a mother nursing a child6

“Look look the devil, she is feeding me the devil’s blood, trying to turn me into the devil, but I won’t let her turn me into the devil, I am a good girl, no suckling on the devil’s tit, nope I’m going to heaven,  listen to this. ‘his sermon was quite enlightening’ See see see, she had to go to hospital and get her brain remove, see that what happens when you listen to lies, they have to remove your brain through your nose.”  7

Kim enters the room, to We in Ka,8

“Come.”  9

We follow her in to the briefing room. 10

‘Wonder what she has installed for us tonight?’ 11

We kneel around the model and before Kim, Kimbie holds up a poster of the treasure.  Kim to We, 12

“Tonight We will find Gordon Michel Moon, 28, 5’11, black, medium, black hair and brown eyes, skill poor.  He is one of Rizz’s runners with information that We want, he will be taken alive. He was last seen here, our job will be to find him. No witness.”13

Kim points to the scale model. 14

My eyes can see a tin warehouse encircled by a two metre wire fence.  To the South a widish storm water causeway running west to east.  To the East runs twin rail lines along the edge of water, a junction comes off and runs a long side the warehouses’ loading docks.  The dock is not fenced but the section between the south side fence and the building has one single two metre inward swinging wire gate. To the North, there’s another similar looking warehouse. To the West runs the road, pink arrows run north and through the large two metre inward swinging wire gates, on the other side of the road more warehouses.  One orange and blue and three blue arrows are pointing inwards, six black and white striped arrows are pointing outwards, five black and white striped dots and five red dots. 15

“We will use four vehicles, five tonne Pan Tec driven by Misza, carrying the Forwards and will act as our mobile base, two vans carrying Backs and Flankers, Chila will drive number one, and Makita will drive the second.  Kim’s limousine will carry Kim and Defenders, driven by Toi.”  16

Kim points to the striped dots17

There will be five guards patrolling, Lealyn, Raindel and Suzila, will take the three front guards out from here.”18

Kim points to the red dots across the road on the warehouse’s roof. 19

Mizzie and Deska will take the rear guards out from here.”20

Kim points to red dots behind two brushes in the vicinity of the water’s edge.21

Kim lifts the roof off the model.  22

“Here in the south east corner, they’d built a small two story complex, bottom, toilet, the entrance is here next to the loading ramp.  Top an office, the entrance via these stairs, straight above the toilet door.  Note the windows, this one facing north can give a firing line to both doors, the westward facing can cover the front with no blind spots. This complex is currently being used to produce a new designer drug called the Tripper; they manufacture these pills in a secret compartment, entrance, here.”23

Kim points to the north desk in the office. 24

“Move this desk and the entrance to will be seen, a ladder going straight down, normally three works in here.  The floor space takes up the legitimate business, imports and exports.  They will be minium 24 armed with array of small arms, We must strike fast.  Most will be on the ground level, but right here on the top floor in the south corner is where their leader will be located.”25

Kim hands her quadruplets each a poster, they stand up and show us four faces. 26

“These are the four who will know where our treasure is hiding, do not kill them until after Kim as spoken to them, We may have use for them.”27

Kim points to a white male, 6’0, short well kept brown hair, brown eyes.28

“This is Rizz’s puppet, he knows what we will know, he will be taken alive, skill poor to low.  These three unsavourily looking gentlemen are his body guards, they never leave his side, all three are street thugs, skill low to medium. They will be here!”29

Kim points to the office. Kim points to the outside window.30

“This window is his escape route, down this drain pipe.”   31

Kim points to numbered one blue arrow.32

“Sheralee and Charzelle will wait here next to the causeway, on the signal us will climb this fence, and scale this pipe, throw stun grenades and enter through this window, the window swings open inwards.” 33

Kim point to numbered two orange and blue arrow.34

Kimba, Kimbie, Emmelia and Donkalo will wait near the rail line, on the signal us will rush forward, Emmelia will break through this inward opening door with a battering ram.  Kimba and Kimbie will rush up these stairs and enter the office, through this door that opens inwards.  Emmelia will check the inward opening toilets, while Donkalo covers the warehouse floor. 35

Kim points to numbered three blue arrow.36

Kimbi, Kimbo and Juanita will wait here in the neighbouring yard, on the signal us will scale this fence and enter through this door that opens outwards.  Kimbi will place a small five second charge.  Juanita will open the roller door by a switch located, one metre up on the left hand side of the door us had entered, here!  Then Juanita will help Kimbi and Kimbo secure the ground floor.  37

Kim points to numbered four blue arrow.38

Cheyanna will wait beside the causeway, on the signal will scale the fence, pick the lock and open the gates for Kim’s vehicle.  Then will give cover at the edge of the roller door.  Then Kim and the Defenders will enter through these doors.39

Kimbie holds up a poster of a white truck.40

“Zeaza will be doing the cleaning tonight.  Mingarra and Chayo will come in this truck and drive down this side til the back.  They will collect and dispose of the corpses.  We do not know who will be facing tonight so We will be wearing our torso armour.  We will now study the model and memorise our job. 41

I’m looking at the model, taking notice of my route in, that follows the rail line across the causeway, waiting place beside the fence, the pipe and window, location of every object in that office, table south west corner and one north east corner of the room.  Four scattered chairs, three file cabinets along the east wall.  Looking at the time schedule, I can see that Kimbie and Kimba enters 5 seconds after us.  I point that out to Charzelle, she nods.  Charzelle shows me the photograph of the inside of the window. 42

‘A simple latch, one good kick there should pop it.  There is nothing in the hidden room other then three figures.  Guess we couldn’t get eyes in there’43

I am making a mental map of the complex, where and how everything was stacked.  Lay out of the toilets and showers.  The line of fire I’ll have from the two office windows.  I’m checking the paths that Kimbo, Kimbi and Juanita will take and their times.  44

‘Ok I think I’ve got it. Better go over it again, no mistakes.’45

The truck with the Forwards has left. I am checking that Charzelle has everything.46

‘Armour, watch, radio, Glock, six spare clips, two stun grenades, two stars, our pull overs and skirts, and Anastasia. Yep, she’s right to go, how about me, my MP5 is ready to go. Ten spare clips, dagger, radio is on right channel and is working, watch is correct.  Put on my pull over and skirt and I am ready.’47

Kim to us,48

“Backs and Flankers get moving”49

We jump into our assigned vehicles and travel to our drop off point. Invisibly sneak silently to our starting positions. To Sis through hand,50

“Sheralee climbs first, kicks window, Charzelle throws grenade, Sheralee enters first, attack west, Charzelle attacks north, alive.”51

Tonight is very quiet, slight breeze is blowing west, all looks dead, except for the nearest east guard, he is having a cigarette, not really taking notices of the surroundings.52

‘He must have been on guard for ages, let us hope this will be over before he is relieved. Five more seconds,,,’  53

I hear the silent thuds, my radio roars, 54

“Go, go, go!”          55

123 over the fence, 12345 up the pipe, kicks the window’s lock, Charzelle throws in the grenade.  Three seconds,,, Bang!  Through the window, punches the first face I see with my MP5, spinning side kick to the knee of the one on my right, smack him over the head with my gun, pointing my barrel at one surprised face.  Charzelle has her barrel pointing down a gargling throat committing felatio.  Kimbie and Kimba enters the room.  Charzelle and I guard our treasure as they move the desk, Kimbie fires a burst down the hole, and shouts to them in English,56

“Get up here or I will kill you!”57

Three frightened figures emerge from the hole. Kimbie to them,58

“Hands up or I’ll kill you!”59

All went to plan; we have our seven treasures and are leading them to the warehouse floor, where all have been assembled. Kim’s limousine pulls into the warehouse.  Toi opens her door.  Kim steps out, dressed in her traditional Japanese attire and her Defenders are towering behind her.  Kim to We in English,60

“Well done ladies.” 61

To them,62

“I want Gordon Michel Moon now!”63

One voice mumbles,64

“Who the fuck do you think you are Bitch?”65

Kim walks up to him, stares him in the eyes, to him,66

“I am more evil than you are tonight.”67

She stabs her fingernail and pops his eyeball, he screams, to Toi,68

“Beat him to death”69

Toi grabs him, throws him against a pallet and begins punching him.  I can hear his ribs cracking with her every blow, with each punch blood is spurting out of his mouth, I can see his chest caving in, he is dead.  Toi stops and returns to Kim’s side, the corpse is still standing, held up by his indentation.  Kim hands Toi her handkerchief, to Toi,70

“Well done dear, here wipe the blood from your face, ladies have excellent hygiene.  I suggest next time point his mouth in another direction.”71

Kim to them,72

“Does anyone else feel the need to express profundity in the presences of ladies?”73

She points to a face,74

“You, where is Gordon Michel Moon?75

Shrugging his shoulders, clearly he knows nothing about our treasure, 76

“Don’t know what you’re talking about!”77

Kim holds out her hand, to me, 78

“His balls, give them to me!” 79

I walk up to him and stare into his worried eyes. Grabs his balls, slice, punch and rips them out.  Then I place his balls, strum and the fabric in Kim’s hand. To me,80

“Thank you.”81

To the castrated one in agony on the ground, 82

“Some times it can be wiser to have no balls.”83

To them,84

“We shall play a game, the game is called; will I live or will I die, painfully?  I am in the information trading business, I will trade you information for your life.  I wish to know, where Gordon Michel Moon has run off too, or the name of a person who may know where Gordon Michel Moon is?” 85

Kimbie holds up his poster, 86

“This is the man I wish to formally introduce myself too, the more helpful you are, the more incline I will be towards sparing your lives.  I know he was here yesterday evening, but I don’t know where he is now, and that is what I want to know.  I am a fair woman, I realise that some of you have never spoken to Gordon Michel Moon, so I will give you a break.  If you can give me some reason to show interest in you, I might spare your life.” 87

Kim points to the castrated rolling sob.88

“This is how you are going to die, if I don’t get the chance introduce myself to Gordon Michel Moon.”89

Lilliard, Dansea and Karia steps forward.  Dansea grabs his legs, Karia’s knee falls on his stomach.  Lilliard grips his wrist, kicks his shoulder joint out of its socket and twists his arm around and around, his scream echoes.  Just skin is holding his arm on now.  Karia grabs hold of his leg and points his toes skyward, Dansea jumps on his foot and begins stomping on it like a she is jumping on an armour plated cockroach.  His foot is dangling.  Lilliard grips his other wrist, kicks his shoulder joint out of its socket and twist, twist around and around.  Screams have died now, he had past out.  Lilliard lifts him up by his head, give it a wiggle, and snaps his neck.  Kim to them,90

“You gentlemen will be invited to share my company one at a time, please feel free to do some thinking while you wait.  Will you live, or will you die, painfully, depends upon what you know.”91

We stand guard, staring into frightened eyes, most of them know they will die a painful death, the screams are confirming their fate.  The one with the information is really looking worried.  Watching Toi come in, punches one in the mouth, before dragging him away to have his talk with Kim.  92

All that is left now is him, the rest; none stop screams answered any doubts.  Toi comes in; the treasure is telling her all.  She slaps him across the face, to him,93

“Tell your problems to Kim.”94

Toi drags him out.  There are no screams, he is telling Kim all her ears desire to hear.  Kimbo comes up, to me in Ka,95

“Secure our pick up point.”  96

To Kimbo,97

“Understands”98

We ran pass the discussion and ran all the way to here.  There is not a soul around, we kneel.  I can see a fence, behind that is rolling grassland, near the water’s edge stands a power station.  I point and Charzelle is off over the fence checking it out.99

‘There are some lonely places in the city.’ 100

‘All clear, Kim has left, the girls should be here in 20 seconds, and transport should be turning that corner in 25 seconds.’101

‘Girls are on time, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Five seconds late, bet us hope Kim don’t hear about that.’ 102

We are in our vehicles, weapons are in my little hideys, pull over and skirt on, hair brushed and I’m looking all sweet and innocent.  Kim had retrieved three names and we are on our way to pick up one.  He is a feeder who is having dinner in a Greek restaurant, busy area, too many witnesses to kill. The girls are dressing me up, a blonde wig, make up, a heavy coat, dark glasses and a cane. .  Two body guards, my job is to kill both of them and secure the treasure, Kimbo hands me her pistol, to me,103

“Kill with this, only the guards.”104

‘22 cal, silencer with 5 rounds’105

Kimbie turns her lap top around and on it are the three men photographs. Kimbo points, to me,106

“Him alive, him and him dead.107

To Kimbo,108

“Understands”    109

The girls are putting on their disguises.  We’re waiting for Zeaza to send his cleaners.  Delivery truck pulls up out front, Kimbo gives me the signal and I’m walking into the restaurant pretending to be blind.  110

‘In the corner, back table near the ladies rooms, people are behind them, need another firing position.’111

A voice in English,112

“Can I help you?”113

A waitress is looking at me as if she is not sure what say, to her,114

“I need to go to the toilet, can you help me please?”115

To me, 116

“Sure honey, it is just over here, here let me help you.”117

The waitress is clumsily guiding me towards the rest room.  I am just a metre behind them; they are taking no notice of me.  I pull out the pistol and shoot both of them in the head.  Now I am pointing it at the treasure. To him,118

“Stay!”119

The girls come in securing the exits, Donkalo goes for the security tapes, Chilia ties the treasure’s hands together and takes charge of him.  I pick my empty cartages up and put them in my pocket. Seami and Windor are removing the corpses, tossing each into a bin and wheeling them out.120

Kimba is wearing big pink flowery sunglasses, floppy flowery hat, blue flowery jacket and a crooked Hitler moustache. To all that are still breathing,121

“Listen!  We were not here, those drug dealers were not here, this is not happening, you are having an attack of food poisoning.” 122

She’s holding the security tapes up in the air.     123

“By dawn we will know who each of you are, where you live, who your family and friends are.  If one of you speaks about what just didn’t happen, we will kill all of you, plus the person you hold dearest.  Look how we operate, who can protect you from us?  We have eyes and ears everywhere, if one speaks to anyone, all dies, plus your love one. Tomorrow afternoon after six o’clock, you will find five thousand dollars in your bank account, we would rather you go on enjoying life, but speak one word and you are all dead.  Your life and your love’s life depend upon you remembering, you are suffering from food poisoning and this is a bad dream that you shall forget.”124

We leave the silent restaurant cleaner than before we came.  We are travelling to where Kim decided to meet us.  I am sitting on the treasure’s lap, poking the barrel in his mouth, watching his eyes jump whenever we hit a bump.  125

We’ve arrived at the fish farm.  Kim and the Defenders are over there talking to the four treasures.  We are cleaning our disguises off our faces. Toi starts up a diesel engine to a medium sized red machine with openings at both ends, she gives it a rev. I’m curious, to Kimba through hand,126

“What is that?”127

To me in English,128

“That is a modified tree muncher that we use to feed the fishes, it cuts their food up in to fingernail sizes, watch.” 129

One has lost Kim’s interest, Lilliard and Dansea rips him naked before picking him up and swings him too the one, two, three count and throws him in.  A scream, a whining munching sound, and a million pieces spray into the pond.  Kim is talking to the next, his tongue is wagging quiet freely, but he must not have said what Kim wanted to hear.  Lilliard and Dansea strips him naked before throwing him in legs first.  Annoying scream, whining munching sound, he is hanging on to the edge.  Lilliard and Dansea are playing this little piggie, finger by finger, he is fish food.  Kim is now talking to the one us delivered, he looks like he is cooperating. 130

Kim smells a lily as she walks over to us, and Toi is right behind her helping the treasure to keep in his place. To Kimbo in English,131

“Mr King has kindly offered to escort us to see Gordon Michel Moon.  Take the Backs and bring him here and introduce him to me.”132

The Backs pile into a van, I’m sitting on Mr King’s lap with the gun in his mouth, watching his eyes jump when we hit a bump.  Kimbo signal me to take my gun out of his mouth, I take it out and jams it under his chin. Kimbo to him,133

“Where shall we find our date tonight Mr King?”134

Flinches in discomfort as I burrow the barrel further into his throat 135

“Second turn off pass the traffic light, take the first right, then second left, half way down that street.”136

‘Middle class suburbia, the land of busybodies, 2 am and all looks sleepy.’ 137

We pull up in the shadows under a tree, Kimbo to him,138

“Which house?”139

I burrow the barrel into his throat, croaky voice,140

“That white house with the trailer.” 141

Kimbo nods and I shove the pistol back into his mouth.  The girls have gone to retrieve our treasure, and I’m sitting on his lap in the darkness, staring into his very frightened eyes that want to cry. We stare, seeing who will blink first. 142

The girls throw an unconscious Gordon Michel Moon onto the floor.   Charzelle sits on him and burrows her glock into the base of his spine.  All are in and we are off to formally introduce Mr Moon to Kim.143

Arriving at the farm, I can see other vehicles, two sports cars and a limousine. Kim is standing talking to Xernix, we pull up along side. 144

Toi reaches in and presents the treasure to Kim. Kim to him,145

“I am thrilled to meet you at last Gordon.  This is Xernix, I believe that you are dying to tell him something.”146

Xernix clicks his fingers and his Defenders escorts Mr Moon to his limousine.  Charzelle and Anastasia finger waves to Xernix and smiles, he gives her the evil eye.  Xernix kisses sweet Kim’s hand and slides into his limousine, sticks his finger out the window and shoots Charzelle before driving off.147

‘One day Xernix will make her pay.’148

Kim points to Mr King and he is on his way to feed the fishes. 149

Kim calls We around, to We in Ka,150

“Well done ladies, we shall go home and have some dinner, then 20 laps before rest.”     151

We all moan.152

Dinner and 20 laps are out of the way and I’m lying in my bubble bath, the sun is starting to peek through the window.153

‘Kim was pleased tonight. We all got her highest praised. Lucky no one told her about the five seconds, I think Kimbo sorted that out. Hmm I can lie in here all day, shame we still have work to do.  Wonder who we are playing next?  I hope I get a run.  She might give us all a run as a reward? Who knows what Kim is thinking.’ 154

Sinking submissively into the warmth of abyss, 155

‘Hmm this is great.’156

Charzelle comes through the door and thrust her pubes in my face, to me in English.157

“I have a smelly twot, here smell Sheralee. Is my twot smelly?”158

I push the sponge into her pubes while turning my face away, to Sis,159

“I don’t want to smell your twot!”160

To me,161

“See see I told you my twot smelt, the devil has been jerking off in my twot!  Every time I lay down he spoofs inside me.  What am I’m going to do?  I’m sick of him spoofing up me.  All he wants to do is fuck me! But I don’t want to be fucked by the devil!” 162

Throwing the sponge at mumbling sis as she walks out the door.163

All clean and I’m dressed in my comfy, sipping tea while staring out over the city. Sis is sharpening my nails while speaking to whoever is listening in English,164

“I don’t like him; I like God more at times but other times Lucifer takes my fancy.  He is not that bad, a bit of a jerk off, but still not that bad, no one is that bad.  You know I might dig him up and say sorry, nah, he’ll only spoof fire up me, and that is not the proper thing to do to a virgin.  I will tell you this; if Jimi Hendrix fucks in my head tonight, he’s gone quicker than the tried and rootless.”165

Kimbie comes, to me in Ka166

“Appointments are in.” 167

I nod my head and follow her to the briefing room. We kneel and wait for Kim.  Kim enters carrying our appointment books.  Kimbie gives each of us our assigned appointment book. We bow, as I’m leaving, Kim to me in Japanese,  168

“Sheralee should dress into something more feminie, ladies should be dressed presentable at all times.”  169

I stop and turn, to me170

“Ladies do not run around half naked in gentlemen’s underwear.”171

Whining to Kim172

“But they are comfortable.”173

To me174

“Modesty was never meant to be worn with comfort.  People intend to notice the clothing before the woman, remember that on your next appearance.” 175

I bow obedience and leaves.176

‘Where does she get off telling me what to do?  Whoops!  Even that thought could get me killed.’177

I walk in carrying our appointment, to Charzelle in Ka178

“Our appointments are here, we don’t have to start til noon, want to read?”179

She shakes her head, to me in English,180

“What shall we wear today?”181

To sis,182

“Gothic.”183

She goes and gets everything ready while I get our appointments in order.184

‘Busy day, oh well we have Toi that should speed thing up.’185

Charzelle and Anastasia enters carrying her make up kit, they are dressed in, black lipstick, black stockings, black mini skirt, black blouse, black vest, black hat with veil, her wild blonde spikes out in madness, and a pair of pink joggers with green happy smiling faces painted on.  186

I put everything down and lie back, letting my sis give me an artist face, I fall asleep. 187

Awakening to Sis finishing off painting on my face, to in English me 188

“You look like a meanie, hehehe.”189

Charzelle holds up her mirror190

White face, purple lipstick, a red rose painted on my left cheek. Bluish purplish eyeliner and blood red nails.191

‘Hmm, strange but interesting, I like.’192

I stand before the mirror and allow Charzelle to dress me193

Black silk trousers with a hand sown red rose on the right cheek, purple silk long sleaved blouse, and a black silk vest with a red rose hand sown onto the pocket. Black belt with a shiver buckle, black leather boots with half inch heal, and black leather fingerless gloves.  194

‘I look like a real hot bitch, she has out done herself this time.’195

Kissing Charzelle on her lips, to her 196

“You have done well, I am pleased”197

Charzelle has a big bashful happy grin198

To Charzelle199

“Let’s go and get Toi.”200

Toi is down in the garage checking her car’s oil and water, to Toi,201

“Are us really for a busy day?”202

Toi grins and nods, then closes the bonnet. Charzelle squeals,203

“Hit woman!” 204

She runs and jumps in the rear.205

‘The day is looking brighter.’206

I’m sitting in the back seat studying our work sheet.207

‘Two women and three males, all must be collected before 6pm.  What is the time?  12:15, she should be shopping.  Where are we?  We’re near Leena’s place.  If we hurry we might catch her.’208

Programs the location into Hit Woman’s street directory, buckles up as Toi turns up the music and gives her a gut full.  209

We are coming to the turn off. To us in English,210

“We are looking for a blue Nissan.”211

The car park is busy, we are cruising around looking for a blue Nissan. Charzelle points,212

“There.”213

‘That is the number plate.’214

To Toi215

“That is it.”216

Toi pulls in along side.  Charzelle opens the hole and gets out the plastic bags and I grab Noddy.  We waited for five minutes and now here she comes pushing her trolley.  She is passing us now.  Toi unlatches the boot, steps out, grabs her, lifts her up and pokes her head first through the hole. Charzelle puts the bag over her head, and I crown her with Noddy, then Toi flips her legs in, and Charzelle climbs into the trunk and kicks the corpse jamming it into the corner. Off we go down the road moving to the rhythm. To Toi,217

“Call Zenza and have her car picked up.”218

We’re rocking to the beat while I’m looking at the time schedule.219

‘Let me see. He should be starting his jog soon, and the park is just over there. To Toi,220

“Circle that park.”221

‘Is that him on the kerb? It is, what luck.’222

To Toi,223

“White t shirt on the kerb!” 224

Toi is driving close to the kerb; I swing open the door and knock him flying.  Toi reverses, gets out, lifts him up by his pants, throws him head first into the back and closes the door.  Charzelle puts on his plastic bag, and I whack him with Noddy.  Charzelle and I are shoving the corpse through the hole as Toi gives her some rhythm.225

Toi beeps the horn at paramedic Kimbie and Cheyanna, as they loving help their soon to be departed into the back of their ambulance.  I wind the window down a give them a wave.226

We are in an underground car park, watching a black Porsche, he is in real-estate, Kim just rang him and invited him to value one of her homes. 227

‘He is taking his time, always happens when we are on a tight schedule, people have no consideration.’ 228

The lift is coming down, door opens.  There are two of them chatting to each other. 229

‘Oh well, we’ve got room.’230

To Toi231

“Get them”232

Hit woman roars through them, they bounce off like bowling pins in a strike.  Charzelle and I jump out, sis places a bag over the female’s head, and I give her Noddy right in the temple.  Toi picks the corpse up and stacks it in the boot.  The corpse is trying to escape on his injured leg.  Charzelle sprints and gives him a slide tackle. I sprint over, places Noddy’s handle in his mouth, four good hits and only Noddy’s head is poking out.  Withdraws Noddy, wiping the slobber off on his clothing while Charzelle is putting on his bag, I’m giving him another taste of Noddy.  Toi picks the corpse up and stacks it in the boot.  Off we cruise to the rhythm of our schedule. To Toi,233

“Call Zenza to have that car picked up.”234

Motoring down the road towards our next target, Charzelle points out the back with a warning235

“Police”236

Toi hits the switch.  The police car is following us, he is still trying to get through on the radio.  Flashing lights; he wants us to pull over.  Toi turns down a side ally and parks next to the kerb, gets out and waits for the officer to come to her. 237

Cautiously the officer approaches, Toi is waving her licence and registration in front of him, he reads, Charzelle winds down the window, he pokes his head through and Toi gives him a wedgie.  Charzelle put his bag on and I hit him twice with Noddy, Toi pushes his legs through the window and holds her hand out for Noddy, I hand her to her.  238

Toi and Noddy are removing the car’s radio and camera.  I have the 12 gauge set on fully auto in my hands, I’m poking it out the back window waiting teach the first sticky beak that being nosy is not healthy.  Toi throws the mangled electronics into the back, and we are off cruising to the rhythm. To Toi239

“Call Zenza and ask him the collect that car.”  240

We have a house inspection to go to another real-estate.  A couple has just pulled over and are walking up to our smiling greeting corpse.  We pull up in the driveway.  Me to us,241

“Toi corpse, Charzelle female, Sheralee male.”242

We get out and walk towards our smiling dead. Our corpse greets Toi in friendship, she greets him with an uppercut before stomping his chest in. Charzelle is suffocating the female with a bag while riding it like a bucking bronco breaker. I kick my corpse in the balls, and give him a leaping elbow on the bridge of his nose, now I am stomping in his Adam’s apple. 243

Each corpse has been stack neatly with their bag and Noddy’s indentation, and we are rolling to the rhythm. The trunk is full and we have three corpses neatly buckled in the back, we’re all sitting in the front.244

Last call and we are a little more crowded then I expected. We drive up the driveway; trees are hiding the house from neighbours view. Tradesmen van is parked near the double garage, the tradesmen are painting the side of the house. 245

‘Hope we can fit them all in.’246

Me to us,247

“Sheralee tradesmen, Toi and Charzelle corpse.”248

I pick up Whisper and walk towards the tradesmen while Toi knocks on the door.  Two shots and they fall from their ladders like dead birds.  I fit them with their bags nice and tight. After picking up my empties and hosing their blood away, I walk around the front where Toi is stacking a male corpse in the back.249

‘She wasn’t alone, let us hope we can fit them all in.’250

To Toi,251

“Two are around the side.”252

To me,253

“The dog and cat are inside.”254

I walk into the house, beautiful spotless place, family photographs and prayers to her God adore the walls.  Charzelle is carrying the plastic wrapped dog and cat out the door.  I can hear a parrot, I walk in and pick up its cage and carries it out. Grabs Noddy and beats them both flat, and squeezes it into the back.  255

We have a full load and we are all sitting in the front seat. As we are driving down the drive way a male is walking up the drive way, Hit woman roars over him, then reverses over him. Charzelle and I jump out, sis gives him his bag then I give him Noddy. Toi buckles the corpse in the front seat, Charzelle is sitting on its lap and we are travelling to the airport. To Toi, 256

“Call Zenza to have their vehicles picked up.” 257

Driving pass a MacDonald’s, Charzelle is pointing, to us in English 258

“Fries fries fries, can we get some fries?”259

‘Yeah right, and maybe Cheese burgers for the corpses.’260

To Sis,261

“If we have time we get some on our way back.”262

Charzelle is talking to whoever is listening,263

“Ronald is gay!  True that is why he dresses like a big girl.  See that’s what big Mac’s do, they swivel up their balls and turn them into big girls.”264

Toi turns the music up and we’re moving to the rhythm.265

We are at Ace’s place, the corpses are unloaded and Toi is giving Hit woman her bath. Bala and Asza are undressing the corpses and I am placing their accessories into plastic bags, writing down each object on the corpse’s file, Dillila is pumping their stomachs full with crement. Korri and Mic are throwing the corpses into the plane and Norn and Tompatar are stacking them.    Bala to me in Ka,266

“Kim’s been training us hard?”267

To Bala,268

“No harder than usual.”269

To me,270

“We had a good game last week against Leena.”271

To Bala,272

“Who won?”273

To me,274

“Leena, it was all tried, last set was a throw in and the wind scored.”275

‘With your defence I’m not surprised.’276

To Bala,277

“Shame, Ace may have better luck next time.”278

To me,279

“Next time Ace will win.”280

‘Not with your defence.’281

To Bala,282

“Yes Ace has a good team.”283

‘In your dreams.’284

I sign the last corpse file and hand them to Bala, to Bala285

“Sheralee needs to go to the toilet can Bala give these to Ace”286

Bala nods her head, to me287

“Understands, enjoy”288

I wave bye and walk at brisk pace to the toilet289

We are sitting on Hit woman, drinking our thirst quenches while watching the plane take off.  Its cargo is bound for the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Me to us in English,290

“Let’s go and get those fries.”291

We’re in the MacDonald’s drive through, voice comes out the speaker, in English,292

“Can I take your order?”293

‘Oh da, why do you think we are here?’294

To the speaker in,295

“May I have one serve of fries please?”296

To me297

“One fries would you like small or large.”298

To it299

“Large.”300

To me301

“Would you like anything else with that?”302

To Toi,303

“Toi?”304

Toi gives her I’m not eating that shit glare305

‘Me either’306

To it307

“No thank you”308

To me309

“Would you like dessert with your fries?”310

‘I just want the fries you stupid bitch.’311

To it312

“No thank you.”313

To me, 314

“Any drinks with that order.”315

‘If she keeps persisting I’ll introduce her to Noddy?’316

Charzelle pokes her head out the window and screams at it317

“I want my fries! Give me my fries before I shove your pimple head in the oil you stupid Bitch!”318

‘Always the lady sis, he he he’319

It to me320

“Just the fries, drive through please”321

Pimply teenager, Charzelle pops out grabs the fries and leaves the money in its hand in one movement.  She pops her head back out the window and smiles, to it,322

“Thank you.”323

Off we move to the rhythm. Charzelle is playing with her fries, to Toi in Ka,324

“What does Toi feel like eating?”325

Toi smiles, to me in English,326

“Lasagne”327

Nods my head while licking my lips328

Off we rev to Lucinda’s place. My hunger is working up, can’t wait to stuff myself with the best lasagne on this planet. We pull up out front of Lucinda’s place, Charzelle and Anastasia are playing with their fries, to Charzelle in English,329

“Take that fry out of your nose and go in and get our order.”330

Charzelle comes out carrying our dinner laughing and chatting to Anastasia.  Hands me my proportion and Toi her six, sits down opens hers and we pig out. Charzelle to whoever is listening. 331

“This has a nice taste huh?332

Pointing to her throat333

“Here”334

Kim comes over the radio, to us in Ka, 335

“Ladies Kimbie has been delayed by an inconsiderate, us will have to keep her appointment.”336

Me to Kim,337

“Understands”338

We are shovelling our lasagne down faster while waiting for the corpse file to download. The corpse face appears.339

‘The waitress, what is the time? 30 minutes before she leaves for work. Who is this?  Oh Kim tacked on another. A nosy, female, 74, she is waiting at a bus stop.  We will pick her up on our way to the appointment.340

To Toi,341

“Let us pick her up on the way.”342

Toi kicks Hit Woman to life, and we are moving to the rhythm. 343

We are coming up to the bus stop.344

‘There she is watching everyone’s business.  I wish these nosy corpses keeps their nose out of We business.’345

Toi pulls her bus over. Charzelle and I jump out, grabs her wrists, applying wrist locks, I lift her in a fanny wedgie as we aid her to run head first into the back. Charzelle collects her accessories while I dress her with her bag. Charzelle closes the door and Noddy crowns Miss Nosy.    346

We are in the suburb again, a quiet little dead end street. Zeaza’s team are waiting to relieve the corpse’s car and clothing.   Hit Woman pulls up into the drive way.  Across the road a couple sit on their pouch drinking coffee. Me to Us,347

“Toi and Charzelle invite the nosy couple and Sheralee will collect the corpse.”348

I walk up to the front door and ring the door bell.  The corpse is taking forever to answer, I ring again.349

‘Come on hurry up, don’t be inconsiderate.’350

I ring again.  I can hear foot steps growing louder. I get her bag ready, she is opening the door.  I spring up and slide the bag over the corpse head, and pull the clip tight.  I’m punching the bag, two jabs followed by a right.  The bag hits the ground; I am kicking, stomping and jumping upon the bag.351

‘It’s dead.’352

I’m walking around the corpse house as ? and ? collects the usual disgruntle wife scenario. A typical young family home, unironed washing, toys on the floor, family photographs, husband and kids.353

‘He is ugly, the kids take after their mother.  No pets or any other life.  Time to get going.’354

I lift the corpse up in a fireman’s lift355

‘This is a light one’356

I double check for blood spots, neatly locked the door.  Carries it to Hit Woman and tosses it into the trunk.357

‘Right get rid of these and with luck we can rest.’358

We’re moving to the rhythm, on our way to the pig farm. The sun is setting, Charzelle and Anastasia are playing with their fries, Toi is tapping the music out on the wheel, and I am going to have a quick nap. 359

Charzelle nudges me and I open my eyes. It is dark now and we are driving up the bumpy pig farm road.360

‘I hate the smell of this place.  I have no idea why anyone would eat bacon, disgusting animal.  Oh Kimbie is here, thought she would have been finished by now, I would have sure hate to had been the corpse that was inconvenient.’   361

Hit Woman reverses next to the Ambulance, Kimbie is supervising the corpses.  Cheyanna comes over and leans into the window, to me in Ka,362

‘Hope our appointment was no inconvenience.’ 363

To Cheyanna364

‘None at all, it was a pleasure helping We. Was our corpse not home?’365

To me366

“He wanted to play hide in seek”367

To cheyanna368

“Inconsiderate”369

Nodding her head, to me370

“Time wasters, as if a lady has nothing better to do with her time then chase corpses.”371

Nods my head in agreement, to cheyanna372

“Ace lost against Leena.”373

To me374

“With Ace’s defence children could beat them, he needs some defensive Backs.  Cheyanna heard that Ace has three Backs coming.”375

To Cheyanna376

“With luck Ace might be able to block that defensive hole.”377

To me378

“Yes it would be great if Ace can get some defensive Backs, Ace’s Backs maybe able to attack, but can’t take a good hit.”379

To Cheyanna380

“Too much effort in flying and not enough spent fighting.  That is why Ace will never be in our league.” 381

Nodding her head in agreement, to me382

“True, without fighting skills one is an easy target.” 383

Nodding in agreement. Kim comes over the radio, she wants Kimbie, Charzelle and me ready for her to pick us up in 5 minutes. To Charzelle384

“Go tell Kimbie that Kim will be here in five to pick us up.”385

Charzelle goes, cheyanna to me386

“Cheyanna better take Kimbie’s place, see Sheralee later387

to Cheyanna388

“Ok bye”389

‘I wonder what Kim as installed?  Better give these files to Toi.390

To Toi391

“Looks like Toi must finish, sorry.”392

Toi gives her nothing out of the ordinary shrug. To Toi 393

“See Toi later.”394

I get out and do a quick kata395

‘That got the blood circulating’396

Kimbie is walking over shaking her head, to me397

“Charzelle just told the sickest joke Kimbie ever heard, that girl needs help.”398

‘Tell me something I didn’t know.’399

To Kimbie400

“Without Charzelle around us cannot call ourselves sane,” 401

We laugh. To kimbie402

“Where is Charzelle?”403

To me404

“Trying to get Kori to let her drive the tractor again.”405

To Kimbie406

“After what happened last time, Charzelle has no chance.”407

To me408

“True but Kimbie thinks that is why Charzelle is annoying him.”409

‘Better go get her before she ends up as pig food’410

I yell out aloud411

“Charzelle”412

‘Nope looks like I got to go find her, Kim will be here in 2 minutes’413

I am jogging towards the mincer and Charzelle come scampering around the corner giggling.414

To me 415

“Lets go before he sits down.”416

‘What has she done to the poor devil this time?  I’ll find out later Kim’s limousine is coming.’417

We are in Kim’s limousine travelling to somewhere, I am wearing my torso armour and armed with an uzi and four clips.418

‘We may see some action.’419

Chila is driving and Densea is sitting next to her. Lilliard, Juantia, the Quads, Sis and me are in the back with Kim. Kim is playing her flute, I am listening to her tune in silence. Darkness, the last street light was over fifteen minutes ago, and car lights are becoming rarer.  420

We are driving slowly on a bumpy road, Kim is flicking the limousines defences on line.421

‘We must be coming to our appointment.’  422

Kim to We,423

“Sheralee and Charzelle in the trunk, cover the flanks, Backs prepare to disembark, attack, Defenders covering fire.”424

I’m climbing over the Backs as they line up in front of the spring loaded door, squeezing my way past Lilliard, as she gets in to position to stand up through the sun roof with her M 232, crawls through the hole into the dark trunk. Wiggling, getting myself low and comfortable, to sis through hand425

“Sheralee left flank Charzelle right flank” 426

We have stopped in dark silence.  I’m rechecking my firearm.427

‘Full clip, loaded, cocked, safely off, three round burst.  Right I’m ready.’428

I’m waiting in silence for the trunk lid to spring open.429

‘Wonder what we are up against?  Lets hope no one brought their anti tank gun.’ 430

I hear Kim’s surprise go whoosh, the lid springs open and I can see four shadowy figures, I fire a burst into the closest head, then a burst into the second shadow’s chest, Charzelle made the other two corpses.431

Leaping out of the trunk, turning right and run, I am running through the smoke straight towards the one who is firing at me.  I’m firing burst at it in rhythm with my breath.  Covering fire knocks it dead.  I leap over it as I fire a burst into its head. I’m running up the embankment while exchanging clip, as I hit the crest I couch low, scanning the area through my sights.432

‘All’s clear.’ 433

Quick glance at the killing zone and my eyes catches the last as it falls. I stay guarding the flank until Kim called me down. Feet have been wiped and weapon checked and we are heading home.  Kim is calmly playing her flute in the dark; I am silently listening to her anger slowly building.434

‘Some one fucked up big time.’ 435

We are at home, showered and dressed for training,  Kim has said nothing about who had ambushed us. We are training, done our warm up’s and now Kim wants us to learn a set move, to we in Ka.436

“Suzila Left Hand, retreat, Kimbie Half, fake to Right Receiver, throw mid to Left Wind shallow left. Sheralee Left Wind, shallow left mid from Half, throw mid to Right Wind deep right centre, attack Defender, Charzelle Right Wind, deep right centre, mid from Left Wind shallow left, far right to Catcher high, Lilliard Right Wind far right, high, Deskia Right Flanker, defend Right Wind, Donkalo Left Flanker, defend Left Wind, attack Defender, Kimba Left Receiver, attack Defender, Juanita Right Receiver, fake, defend Right Wind.”  437

I am on the line couched down ready to spring on the whistle. Suddenly a visitor is announced, it is Xernix baring gifts. Kim claps her hands twice and we all kneel.  Kim to Xernix in Japanese,438

“Xernix what has this humble flower done to deserve the honour of your presences.”439

Xernix to Kim440

“I have come to present beauty with the gift of shit.”441

He clicks his fingers and two defenders help a slightly damaged shit kneel before Kim, to Kim in English442

“This is Mr Shit and I give him to you.” 443

To the Shit in English,444

“I believe you have something to say to the lady.”445

Xernix glares at him and Mr Shit grovels to Kim446

“I’m sorry for being a shit head, please forgive my shit for brains.”447

Kim too the Shit448

“Thank you Mr Rizz, I shall consider your apology in good time but first I have a guess to entertain, please feel free too use the comforts of our guess room, then we will discuss the terms of forgiveness.”449

To Lilliard450

“Dear would you please make Mr Rizz as comfortable as possible in the guess room, I’ll be with him once I have finished entertaining.”451

To Xernix452

“Thank you for the gift, you have been blessed with such generosity.”453

To Kim454

“A little shit is a small price to pay to glaze upon a lady.”455

To Xernix456

“Would you do me the honour of allowing me to serve you tea?”457

To Kim458

“Even the devil could not temp me with a more temping offer.”459

To Xernix460

“My shining knight is full flattery tonight, what does he desire?” 461

To Kim462

“Shall we discuss it in a little less crowded environment?”463

Kim nods, to we464

“Ladies I have business to discuss so you can go to Leena’s and be back in two hours.”465

‘Yes’466

Off with the training clothes and on with my leathers, a quick spray and brush my hair, and I am racing Charzelle to the elevators. Charzelle won by a bubble.  We’re in the bus acting like school children, it is time to unwind.467

‘It seems like weeks since I’ve seen Leena, I hope she is there, well I will find out soon.’ 468

Our bus pulls up and after pushing and shoving to see who will get out the door first, we line up like the little ladies that we are waiting to walk into Leena’s place. Ammie and Quen are at the door, she looks at me and Charzelle, to us in English469

“Here’s trouble.”470

We grin. Me to Ammie471

“And you love us.”472

Ammie to Anastasia, 473

“Hope you have been keeping these two in line.”474

Shit eating grinning Charzelle nods Anastasia’s head475

Me to Ammie,476

“We are always good girls, we’re ladies if haven’t heard.  477

We laugh. To Ammie478

“Is Leena in tonight?”479

To me480

“She was but went down to the mission for a while, she’ll will be back in an hour or so.”481

‘Damn, oh well Leena might show up before I have to go.’482

To Ammie483

“Thank you, if I don’t see her can you please tell her I was here?484

Ammie nods as she lets us pass485

‘Wonder if there is a band tonight?’ 486

We file into the hall and disperse into our little groups.  There are not many here tonight, to Charzelle487

“I‘ll have a Pandinana,” 488

I point to my usual area.489

“I’ll be over there.”490

I’m sitting in my usual chair, but there is no band, so Kimbie gets up and begins playing Mozart’s Moonlight Serenade on the piano.  Charzelle rushes over with my drink, rushes up the stage, sits down next to Kimbie and begins playing duet on the piano, Kimba leaps up on stage and picks up the violin and joins in.  I sip on my drink while I listen contented. Marianna strides over and sits down smiling.491

Me to Marianna492

“Got a tickle did you?”493

Marianna laughs, to me494

“I wish.  I was allowed to see my baby escorted to her first prom.”495

To Marianna496

“That is great, bet she looked beautiful.”497

To me498

“Oh she did, and I even had the chance to talk to her, sixteen years and I’d finally had a chance to say hello.”499

‘That is dangerous’500

To Marianna 501

“How did you do it without breaking the rules?”502

To me503

“Leena organised for me to be the prom’s official photographer. It was out of the blue, I was so surprised I could have jumped on the moon and done a jig.  I clicked disks of her, want to see?” 504

To Marianna505

“Of course I want to see how she has grown.”506

Photographs appear in front of me as if Marianna was ready and itching to show someone. To me507

“This is her and her date, isn’t he handsome?”508

Nodding my head as I study the photograph,509

‘I guess he is if you like boys.’510

To Marianna511

“She has grown into a woman, can’t get over how she has grown from the last photograph.”512

To me513

“Yes she has hasn’t she, the last couple of years she has just sprouted.”514

To Marianna515

“She has your eyes and smile.”516

To me517

“Yes and my cheeks and nose before surgery, I’ll show you something.518

Marianna shows me an old photograph, to me519

“That is me at seventeen.”520

Matching both photos together521

‘Wow almost identical’522

To Marianna523

“There is no doubt she is your daughter.”524

Marianna smiles proudly and shows me another photo525

“This is her best friend, both have been given scholarships to study law at Harvard.  The best thing, we gave her her scholarship, my baby earned her scholarship, she is going to be somebody.  Michael might have been a shit with me, but give credit where credit is due, he’d straighten out and had done an excellent job raising our little girl.”526

Marianna begins to show tears, I touch her hand affectionately.527

To Marianna528

“Yes, you both raised that little girl into a lady, you should be proud.”529

We hug each other530

‘Let them out, it has been so hard for you playing the fairly god mother.’531

Marianna wipes away a tear, to me532

“You know the thing that puzzled me is why hasn’t Michael taken another?  Late at nights I watch him sleep and he always sleeps alone. It has been sixteen years and no one has shared his bed.  He has always been strange, who knows maybe one day I’ll be allowed to ask him that?”533

To Marianna 534

“Yes maybe one day you’ll be allowed.”535

‘On his death bed’536

To Marianna537

“Show me more.”538

To me539

“You’re sure?”540

To Marianna541

“If you don’t show me every one I’ll kill you.”542

To me543

“Well since you put it that way, this is”544

For the next hour and half I look at photographs and listen to Marianna speak like only a mother could.  Leena walks up to the table smiling like always, to me545

“Sheralee, where have you been hiding?”546

To Leena547

“Kim has been rather energetic lately.” 548

To me549

“Say no more.”550

We hug hello. Leena hands Marianna a disk, to her551

“This account needs translating asap.”552

Marianna nods, to me553

“See you later, and thanks.”554

To Marianna,555

“Anytime, see you next time.”556

Marianna leaves and Leena sits down, to me557

“So how have you been?”558

To Leena559

“Good, busy, but good. I heard you beat Ace.”560

To me561

“Yeah it was too close, should have been five more goals, but too many mistakes.  They had me feeling like pulling my hair out.”     562

‘That is why it is quiet.’563

To Leena564

“So Marianna played well?”565

To me566

“She didn’t play, her photographic skills were slipping so I sent her to photograph a prom.  I had a new girl try out but she was not ready for this level, I’ll give her another try after she finishes washing the windows.”567

‘Gee that a bit harsh’  568

To Leena569

“Why the harsh punishment if she was not ready?”570

To me571

“Not harsh, she has an attitude and needs to do some thinking, and up there is the place to do it.”572

‘That is a lot of thinking.”573

To Leena574

“Tell me you’re winning move.” 575

Whispering in my ear576

“If I’d done that I’ll have to kill you.”577

I laugh, pouting to Leena578

“But you’ll miss me won’t you.”579

She gives me a hug, to me580

“Of course I’ll miss my little mouse, that why I’m not going to tell you. 581

Leena clicks her fingers, to me582

“Ok, as you know Ace has not the best defence, but on this night it was better than usual. I wanted to attack him in the far pockets, but every time I was in the open I’d drop the treasure. It was so frustrating. Adding to my woes, his Forwards dominated mine for the first and half way through the second innings.  Well since the far was jinxed and no one could catch a planet, I decided that I would try running it, and that is how I’d beat Ace. ”583

To Leena,584

“Good plan, Ace does need reliable defensive strikers playing Winds and more nimble Defenders.”585

To me586

“Yeah, but you know Ace, their flying skills come before their playing skills.  Hey maybe I can talk him into teaching you how to fly and you can be his striker?”587

‘No fucking way.’588

To Leena589

“Don’t you dare be a bitch.” 590

Leena laughs, to me591

“Don’t worry, I couldn’t be so cruel.”592

Leena’s drinks arrive, Leena to Deala 593

“Thank you dear.”594

Deala exchanges my drink, to Deala595

“Thank you.”596

Leena to me597

“Kim played Nedah last week, did you play?”598

Nodding my head599

“Yes, it was a good game, a lot of throwing, it was a very fast and free moving, suited Kim’s game.”  600

To Me601

“I’m playing Nedah next month.”602

To Leena603

“Watch out for the Half and the Wind combination, it scored most of their goals, but we did get a few interceptions.” 604

Leena nods with scheming eyes, to me605

“I’ll look into that.”606

To Leena607

“Hey while I remember, I won three thousand on the Zeaza and Arbia game.  I am giving it to the mission. I’ll sign it over now if you like.” 608

Leena clicks her fingers and hold two fingers up. To me609

“Three thousand dollars, cool, I’ll put it towards getting the out reach program another mobile kitchen. Thank you.” 610

To Leena611

“Well I do not have much use for money, so it might as well go to someplace that does.”612

To me613

“Oh it will, as you know I’m always looking for funds to help my kids.” 614

To Leena615

“Yes I know.”616

Deala comes over with the account and I sign three thousand dollars over to Leena. To me617

“Thank you again, all I need is another five thousand and we will have our kitchen.”618

To Deala619

“Can I have that back please?”620

Leena to me621

“Oh you don’t have too Sheralee.”622

To Leena623

“Oh shut up, I already have more money then I can spend.”624

To me625

“If you want to put it that way, can you add an extra thousand?  The kids need some new sporting equipment.”626

‘When will I learn?’627

To Leena628

“Here is another two thousand, an even ten should do it.”  629

To me630

“Oh thank you, without your help many would go hungry.”631

‘Been there and done that’632

To Leena633

“Well some one has to care if the problem is going to be solved.”634

To me 635

“You’re right, such a wise little mouse you are.”636

I laugh637

“Compared to the outsider’s world, anything could be considered wise.”638

Leena laughs. Charzelle comes running up to the table, to me639

“Sheralee, Kimba wanted me to let you know that the bus will be leaving in five minutes. Hi Leena.”640

I nod acknowledgment, Leena to Charzelle 641

“How have you and Anastasia been?”642

Charzelle to Leena643

“Oh we have been busy stopping the devil from stealing Sheralee soul.”644

Leena laughs645

“Well you keep on your guard. The devil is very slippery.”646

Charzelle to Leena647

“Nah, all you have to know is how to get a good hold on him.”648

Leena to Charzelle649

“And how do you do that?”650

Charzelle to Leena651

“With my meat hook.”652

Charzelle grins and Leena laughs, to Charzelle653

“The straight to the point approach, I like it.”654

Me to Leena655

“Well we better get going, you take care and I’ll see you when Kim gives us the time.”656

We hug good bye, to me657

“Ok, I’ll see you then, and thanks again.”658

Leena to Charzelle and Anastasia,659

“You two keep a good eye on her.”660

Charzelle nods with a grin.  Waving good bye, we depart for the bus.661

We are back with two minutes to spare, Kim has happy smile upon her face. We kneel as Kim waits for us to settle down. To we in Japanese662

“I have good news, but first we have a guest, ladies always attend to their guest at the first possible opportunity, let us now show Mr Rizz our hospitality.”663

We form a line and follow Kim silently to the guest room. 664

‘Kim seems happier than usual, I wonder what the news is?’665

We enter the guest room and kneel in formation.  Mr Rizz is waiting dressed for the occasion, naked in the stocks with a plaster apple in his mouth. He is staring into the cage, Ying and Yang are sitting quietly staring at supper. Kim to Mr Rizz in English,666

“Bangors are beautiful would you not agree Mr Rizz?  These cats are special, they have developed an odd taste for barbeque sauce.”667

Kim nods and Dansea ties string to a leg of pork, she dips it into the sauce and lowers it into the cage.  Ying and Yang licks the leg as if it were chocolate coated ice cream.  No more sauce is left, Ying and Yang gently begins tearing strips off it and chews each bit forty times. To him668

“They eat like true ladies would you not agree Mr Rizz?  Please understand Mr Rizz, what I am going to do to you gives me no sexual pleasure, I do it for your sake because my girls do not take kindly to their dinner doing number twos.”669

Kim claps her hands and Karila brings the twenty litre drum of soapy water. I’m watching the Defenders clean him out, humiliating nervous displeasure on his face increases with each refill.  To him  670

“As you saw my little darlings have developed a taste for barbeque sauce, they are quite contented to lick the sauce off all day long, but when there is no sauce then they will chew their meat.”671

Kim nods and the Defenders take him out of the stocks, twist him arms into a crucifying position, and coat his testicals with a thick lay of barbeque sauce. Sits him forcible down on the cage, Ying and Yang gleefully begins licking the sauce. To him672

“Mr Rizz why should I believe that a slug like you would have the balls too try and hurt a delicate flower like myself?”673

Mr Rizz could not say a word674

Kim’s finger tells the Defenders to bring him to her, the Defenders carry him crucified, his feet are not allowed to touch the ground, to him.   675

“My you have good manners Mr Rizz”676

Kim yanks the plaster apple out of his mouth, 677

“There now it is not impolite to speak.” 678

Kim motions to continue, The Defenders gives him a flesh coat and sits him back where Ying and Yang are patently waiting for their treat. To him679

“Mr Rizz who ordered you too hurt this delicate petal?”680

No answer, Kim nods to Dansea, she grabs him by the hair, drags him, shoves his head into the sauce and holds it there.  Kim nods, Dansea lifts his gasping face out of the pot and pokes his head through the cage, Ying and Yang are giving him kisses. To him681

“They have seem to have taken a liking to you Mr Rizz.” 682

To Kim 683

“He will kill me if I told you.”684

To him685

“He does not have his hands upon you right now does he?  I do.  What I do to you is more your immediate concern. Would you not agree Mr Rizz?”686

To Kim687

“I don’t know his name, I’ve never met him I swear, our only contact is via phone.”688

Kim nods and Dansea pulls his head out of the cage. To him689

“What phone does he call and when?”690

To Kim691

“A mobile that he’d sent me.”692

To him693

“Where is this phone now?”694

To Kim695

“In my safe.”696

Kim to Kimbo697

“Kimbo would you be a dear and go retrieve me everything that is in Mr Rizz’s safe.” 698

To him699

“23 left, 14 right, 6 left, that is the combination, isn’t it Mr Rizz?” 700

He nods with surprised eyes, and the Quads and Chilia are off to retrieve the phone. Kim nods too Dansea and Mr Rizz is placed back in the stocks and we leave him to do some thinking. 701

We are kneeling in the living room, Kim is telling us about her good news. To we in English702

Ladies Xernix has brought excellent news, we have been selected to participate in the Dragon.703

To Charzelle through hand704

“What’s that? 705

Kim to me706

“Sheralee, if a lady cannot say it aloud, then she should say nothing.”707

To Kim708

“Sorry, I was just asking what is the Dragon?”709

To me710

“I was coming to that, a lady with patience will hear all.” 711

To we712

“The Dragon is the ultimate game, in which fifty of the best teams’ world wide gathers and plays for the Dragon. The team who wins the Dragon receives a boost to their careers. Any questions?” 713

Emmelia raises her hand, Kim to Emmelia714

“Yes dear”715

To Emmelia to Kim716

“In the terms of career prospect what do you mean?”717

Kim to we718

“The team that wins increases their chances of leading a team in the future, I was apart of the team who won the dragon fifteen years ago, and now I have you. Understand?” 719

We all nod720

Kim to we721

“Xernix is putting our team together again to play you, then you’ll see how much you need to improve to even have a chance, I myself will be playing so Kimbie will act as the Brain. Any questions?”722

We shake our heads723

Kim to we724

“Good now I believe this news calls for a celebration, twenty complete circuits with full equipment.”725

We all moans at the thought of celebrating.726
