On ... " The freak show
and it's passing thru the
Valley of the shadow of Death "
Part 52

...Every one's attention was directed to the ringing phone.
" You know there are new fones that actually ring a pleasant ring..."
said Lil' Moco. The fone keep's ringing. Jesus watched the caller ID.

" Well if your not gonna answer that damned thing....."

said an irritated Lil'Moco. " NO !!!!! " yelled a nervous Jesus.

The crew stood watching the fone ring. Watching Jesus.

" That's Death's number, No ? " said a cautious Miles.
Then the ringing stopped. They sat in silence. All looking at Jesus,
whom was reaching for the fone...

Death looked at the fone in his hand..." Wheeeew, dodged a bullet
there didn't ya Death ol' boy..." Death said to himself, cowardly.
The fone rang. It's was Jesus...

" Is he calling Death ? ", asked Dan coming back from the kitchen
with a sandwich and a beer... they all turned to look at Dan. " What !?
I was hungry...." said a chowing Dan. Dan notices the fone cord leading

under the bedroom door of Jesus...

" Hello, Death ?..." said a nervous Jesus into the mickey Mouse phone.
"... Death, I just gotta say..." stammered Jesus...

' Well, that was an amazing time, consuming task...

what do you call this thing ?.." asked a curious

Lil' Moco...

" Oh that... it' a firing pin for the new Glock.

Here, hand me that spring will you ?...Thanks, and it fits riiii-ght

in here. Do you see what that does ?...." asked Jesus...

They were a family. A family sitting around the

dining room table, filled with guns.

" ... and this is a .357 magnum... " the most powerful

hand gun in the world, and it'll blow yer head clean off..."

recited Jesus. Dirty Harry was in Jesus' " Top 10 ".

Lil' Moco laughed and rolled about on his back.

Miles and Dan had came in... " Jesus !??? Damn ! ..."

Dan said, eyeing the formidable arsenal before him...

" I sorta had you figured as the " peaceable " type ",

he said, looking down the sites of a Mauser.

" Peaceable ?, is that even a word ...? ", asked Jesus.

" ...Peaceable : Adjective, " Inclined to avoid argument

or violent conflict..." , read Miles from his iPhone...

" Huh, I like to consider myself " quietly behaved...", Jesus said,

pulling the ramrod thru the Winchester's double 12 gauge

barrels. " The road to peace is about the amount of support

one has behind them. I prefer my support armed. I didn't

just start doing this, you know. Nope, back in the day

I thought a smile, a kind word, and a miracle or two

would suffice... Nope. That had a very negitive effect on the flow.
It's all about the flow...that's when I discovered that twelve guy's,
not eleven, not ten, but twelve armed to the teeth brothers behind me...
Well !!!!, that did make my job a lot easier, so it did....

Wo ! Way easier...!!! I tell ya. "

The room was silent.
Mouths agape in awe...
" Dude...", said Dan.

Lil' Moco smiled.
Miles, licked a paw.

...and Jesus... Jesus cleaned a Sig Sauer.

Then, the phone rang...

Part 51

Jesus drove the Volvo aimlessly around LA.
Lots to do, yet nothing to do, Jesus humms...
" Hum-Humm-Hummmmm-humHu..."
" What the fuck is you doin' dude ? " snarles
lil' Mocos, "...is there an end to this trip ?

Little dog gotta pee !!!. Little dog gotta pee...!!! "
said lil' Moco... '' We're going to Death's house in Venice... "
said a Jesus that couldn't believe that those words came from his
mouth out loud... " Well, I knew it !!!! I knew it !!!!!!
woooo-wooo !!! I knew there was somethin' mo to this freak show than just some
scary little dog's....you rascal !!..." smirked an excited Lil' Moco...
Jesus blushed, turning up 12 th toward Bob's " Point Blank " gun shop.
He had to pick up some firing pin's for the new Glock he'd had on back order...
Thing's were getting complicated in the life of Jesus the provider.
He still hadn't been to the pharmacy to pick up his new perscriptions...

dropped off the dry cleaning...nor the new insoles for the sandles...
...And the little voice said... " This is a bad idea brother Jesus...Turn the
Volvo around... Turn the Volvo around... " We're headed home ...

hang on !!!! ", said Jesus
hanging a hard left up 11th and back towards the ranch...
Jesus breathed a sigh , a silent sigh ...looking in the mirror at
the light's passing behind him, getting smaller and smaller and smaller....

be well todo mundo...
