Tess was in her cell. Nothing made sense. The day had been prety normal. She and bead went to bef.she had no plans for a light night strowl.she was not known to sleep walk. Why was she in that car.
She heard some one coming.it was not the gourd but detective Morgan. "So soon!"Tess said.
"I am hear to spring you. "Detcective Morgan said."legally or illegally?"she asked.he opened the. Bar doors. "Legaly. I like you but not enough to blow my pension on. No offense. "The detective said.
"None taken. Is this of your odd jokes or am I relay free to go?"Tess asked. "Your free to go!"Morgan answered."I thought I was facing multiple charges including vahiculer manslaughter and hit and run. "She commented.
"You did not run over the man. It was not your car. You tested negative for alcohol. Although you were drugged."Morgan said.
"What kind of drug?" she asked. "It was created by the Soviets during the cold war. It has made it to the streets as a drug." Morgan said.
"I was drugged?"she asked. "Yes. You were outminute"The detective said. "Your sure I did not run over that man?"she asked. "Certain of it. "The detective answered.
Tess was able to change back into the cloths she wore when she was arrested. She saw her husband.she ran over and gave him s great big hug.
"Look I understand you probably want to go home and hang out With your kids. I really need to ask you a few questions. Brad can stay with you."Morgan said.
"Ok. Ask away detective. " Tess told the directive. "Thank you. Alright. Can you tell me about the day before your excursion. "The directive said.
"Well it was a normal day. I woke up when brad did. I made him breakfast and laid out his cloths for him. He left for work. " she said.
"I made breakfast for the kids.I nursed the baby. I helped the kids get set up for there home school. Then I had an unexpected visitor. " she said.
There was a knock at the door. Tess opened the door. It was her friend April.
"What is her full name?"the detective asked."April crane Dallas.I went to college with her. As far I knew she was living in indiana. Hear she was. "Tess said.
"April ? Its has been forever.how are you ?"Tess asked. "Doing good. I am on my way to a ladies retreet at green haven Baptist church. I figured I would stop by "she said.
"I an glad your hear.come on in. I have coffee on. Do you stil like cream and sugar. " Tess asked
"You know it. "April said. "How is Donald and the kids?" tes asked.she seemed skidish about the questions. "Good! You had another baby?" April said. "Yes ."tes said.
April seemed to change.she was calm when she arrived.something had changed."we chatted. Caught up on old times then she hit the road."Tess said.
"What time did she leave?"Morgan asked. "10:30!" he said. "Your sure?"he said. "Yes I am sure. I checked the time out of curiosity. "Could she have slipped the drug in your coffee?"Morgan asked."Yes I gues she could but she is one of my closest friends. "She said.
"What is the first rule of detective work?"he asked. "Never assume anything. "She said. " right. My second rule is always check a donut store if You pass by it. Something could have happened. If it checks out you can buy something. Don't want to waste a trip."the detective said.
"Very different from my rule two"she said. "Ok. After your friend left!"Morgan asked. "I nursed the baby. Checked with my kids on there schooling. Made lunch . had lunch With my kids. They went back to sxhol work. I did some work in my office. In the afternoon we had two man from a religious group .they did not give me anything. I don't accept there literature. I did some more work. Got ready for super then brad came home. We had family time put the kids to bed. We went to bed. Next thing I knew I was in a cell. " she said.
"The only person that could have slipped you the drug was  April. I a prety sure it was not the religious door to door solicitor.I am ruling out your kids and brad."the directive said. "Thank you.I appreciate that. "Brad said.
"I can't believe that she would do that. She is not like that. We were best friends at college. It can't be her."she said.
"I understand where your coming from but I am convinced that she had to 've involved.you said she was on her way to a bible conference."Morgan said.
"We are going to try to speak to you.right not we are just want to talk to her. ""Morgan said .
"Do toy think the drugging is connected to the hit and run?"she asked. "I don't know it does not appear that way but rule one. "The detective said.
After a while,the graves were permitted to leave. "Tessa bear I did not want to say anything in front of Morgan but who is this April? You have never mentioned her before."brad said.
"B what are you talking about? " she asked. "Tessi I have never heard about April. "He said. "She was my roommate at college during my freshman year. She was at out at our wedding. "She said.
"Tessi your roommate in your freshman year was amy Gorman. I have never heard of April morgen. " he said. "I have memories of her. Wait a minute! What's going on ?"she asked.
He took her to a hospital with a friend was a doctor. The friend was an expert on military uses for nocotics. She was given several test."
"Well your cat scan came out fine. Everything is fine.there are stil traces of the drug nicknamed control in your system. The drug makes you highly suggestive. The lady in questione was probably well trained in coercion activity. My guess she is x military. Did she seam to be American?"Dr.Warner asked.
"Yea she had a mid western accent.she sounded like a native speaker. "Tess said."This is not as unheard of as you might think. I know of many cases where people were given life stories and believed them.it's scary ."Warner said.
"So how did April do it?"brad asked."the drug opens up a person to suggestion. I am guessing that the women you call April was trained in this. She gave you a lot of detail.she painted a picture. Your brain responded to the sugestion by fooling itself. Her picture had taken hold. You now believe it. "The Dr said.
They walked out of the hospital hand in hand. "Your real right? I really married you and have kids?"she said."no Tessi I am totally a figment of your imagination. "He said. "I wish your snoring was. "She said "I don't snore. "He said.
"That's something I would like to forgot. "She said. "Its sounds prety odd. I know this must be hard. I can't imagine trying to sort out what's real and what's not. I'm hear for you."he said. "You always have been. At least that how I remember it. "She said. "Oh Tess you can make me smile even in the hardest of situation . "he said.
They went home.she changed and they Sat on the couch.she held her baby.she watched the other kids play. She watched tv.
"We have learned that the victim if a hit and run two days ago has been identified as 45 year old Palestinian naturalized American citizen marwarn coreya . he moved to the United states in 1997. He was from a Palestinian Christian community. He attended a church made up of mostly middle eastern Christians. " the reporter Jessica Armstrong said.
"Wait I did a background check on that church. It came out of no where. The church seemed to keen more towards salvation by works not Grace alone.a kind of independent orthodox church. The church supported a palistinien sate and was a bit anti Semitic.it had no ties to terrorism. The group is not a cult it's just not mainstream Christianity. "She said.
"Oh no please don't tell me your going to end up in the Palestinian authority."he said.
"Your mom warned you about me. "Tess said. "She did" he said. "You should have listened to her. "Tess said. "Nah! What's the fun in that?"he said. He had his arm around her. She leaned her head on his shoulder.
Then the phone rang. She answered. It. It was detective Morgan. April never went to the church. They had no idea who she was. No one matching her description was there. They had no way to find her. The case appeared to be going cold.
End of part three

Generation gaps (Tim and Julia Nicole)

Tim had been kept prety Buisy with both his businesses the rest of the week. He talked to Julie on the phone and texts but did not see her. He wanted to lay low for a bit. The post with the pics of her and him attracted attention form there church and there extended families. He did not like this attention. He laid low.
Julia missed seeing him. She guessed that he needed to catch His breath. She understood but missed him. He was very quiet and private.she's was fine with that. She did not understand it. She was very bubbly and social.she did not understand his need for privacy.she suspected he did not understand her need for community. 
It was friday night. He decided to end his self imposed exile and give her a call. "Hey stranger!"she said. "I m sorry Jules. I have been Buisy. "He told her.
"I figured. "She said. "Do you want to get together tomorrow.I Was thinking a picnic in Pelletier park."he suggested. "Sounds great!"she said.
"Is around one good?"he asked. "Sure. Do you like chicken said" she asked. "I do. "He said. "My one is more chicken then said."she told him. "Oh good. I love chicken salid but I defenently perfer if the chicken is dominant."he remarked."I defeinently thought that that was the case.  "She told him.
She really looked forward to seing him. She missed him. She hoped he missed her. She was not always able to read him.
"Do you want me to pick you up at your place?"he asked. "That's works. "She said. "I will see you then. "He told her. "Sounds good."she said.
She Was excited to see him. She wanted to spend time with him. She got the feeling that dinner with his sister was a bit over helming for him. He had been distant ever sense that night. For her that night brought her closer to him. She hoped that the picnic might cure the awkwardness.
She made sure she was ready for Tim . She wore a Gray shirt denim skirt and sandles . she hoped it would go well. She wanted to be close to him. She knew that they had a good life ahead but they just had to get over these hurdles.
She was ready for Tim. She ran on Tim time as she called it. She heard the car pull up. She smiled and went outside. She went to the pasinger's side.
"Hi there!"he said. "Hi "she said. She got in. "I missed you. It's good to see you you!"Julie said. "I have been prety Buisy the last few days. "He said "I understand. I am glad we can have today." she told him. "Me too. "He said.
They went to the park. He put the blanket down. They put the cooler down. They prayed and started to eat."this is great. "He said. "I got it the way you like it?"she asked. "Absolutly."he said. "Awesome"she replied.
"So are you and melisa the only ones in your family that are Christian?"She asked ."one other our youngest sister is saved. I was the first to be saved. I led missy to the Lord a year later. Olivia was a hold out. She was very unlikely to be saved. "He said.
"I have nit fully heard your full conversion story. "She said. "My farther was a business man. He was not anti religious just not religious. I was similar. I did not think about it. I live what else matters I thought. My roommate at college was a believer.he was not In your face but he made it clear who he was. We used to talk about things of God a lot. I began to questione. I started going to a smal church near campus. At first it was an add on for me. I thought I could add faith to my life. "
"As I learned more about God. Who he is. I realized that He will not share his diety with any one else. He must have The preeminence. The sinner question was difficult for me. I believed I was not perfect but I was not that bad. When I realized that God is holly and I am not. I was saved on a Sunday night on a very cold February night. "He said.
"Was it a very difficult discipleship?"she asked. "Yes it was.the people at hope Baptist church were very gracious." he said. 
"How did missy get saved?"she asked. "I changed dramatucally. I did not shout it from the roof top but my family could tell. Melisa and I had been very close. We talked frequently so it was not too surprising. For a while I was worried that Mayby her conversion was more to please me. She started attending gospel Baptist church. The people in the church invested in her. It really did take. My other sister was harder. She was very worldly. She was quite a deal younger. I was already long out if the house before she was at the age to really think about those things. We both noticed a change in her. She asked questioned. She finally got saved. We got her in a church that was started by a g.b.c member and she is married to a pastor now. "He said.
"How did your family react to this?"she asked. "We had been close .my mom and dad divorced when I was a freshman in college. My dad and I have always been close. My mom and I have not been as close. At first my dad was fine with it. He was taken aback when I became more and more serious about my Faith. When melisa got saved, he was not thrilled. He had a kind of libertarian view on religion. He was not keen on evangelizing. When missy accepted Christ he Was not thrilled but not surprised. When Olivia was saved, that was not cool .that caused a rift between us. We are not as close now"he said.
"I talked to your dad a little bit on face book. "She said . "did you add him as a friend ?"he asked. "He added me. O accepted.is that ok?"she asked."yea. I have to warn you you are marrying into a family of nuts..we are really wacky. " he said.
She smiled. Did he mean to say marrying . was it a mispeeak. She wanted to ask but decided not to. She decided to take it as something he intended to say. It made her happy. Even if it was a mispeak,he still thought of her as a permanent part of his life.
"I stil can't believe your not married yet. "She said. "I dated a lot before my conversion. When I was saved,I backed off. Dating was not on my radar after I got saved. Churches I intended had mostly married and older people, I would not date unsaved.I just did not peruse any one."he said.
"Well do not take this the wrong way but I am really glad that you were single all these years. " she exclaimed.
He chuckled. "I am glad of that too. You were worth waiting for. "He said. Her heart melted. She was not expecting him to say that. "Do you really mean that? You could have been married for 15 years or so. "She said.
"I do mean it Jules. Sense my conversion I did not hardly notice that I was single.  It did not come into my thinking. I did not care.  I absolutely mean it. You are so special to me. You were worth waiting for. "He said.
"Thank you. I am glad you did wait. "She said. " I am too. I am glad you are in my life. "He told her. "I am glad to be I'm your life. " She said.
This Was a good day she thought to herself. She felt like they had made a break though. They cleaned things up. They got ready to leave. They loaded the car up.
She took his hand. He made a weird face. "What?" she asked. "Oh nothing. " he said. "What is it?"she asked . "I am stil getting use to physical contact. I am not use to all this. " he said.
"Your not ok with physical contact?"she said in a surprised tone. "Our relationship is new. We are stil in a pree courting phase. I am just not sure it is appropriate "he said. "You never said anything.I just assumed it was ok. " she said.
"It's not a big deal. I Was not going to say anything."he said. "Ok. I care very much about purity and obstaning from the appearance of evil. " she said. "I know that. "He said.
The ride home was very tense. Both were quet. Neither one said anything. He drive her to her house. He had no idea what to say. "I gues this is an example of me being uptight. "He commented. "A little bit"she said.
They Said there goodbyes. He went home feeling tense.he had a knot in his stomach. He did not want to do anything.
He called melisa. "I think I did something stupid. " he told her. "What did you do?"she asked. He explained the situation to her. "Oh no. You did not do that. " she said.
"What do I do? " he asked. "Stop being an idiot."she said. "You think I am uptight?"he asked. "Yes I do. "She said. "Is This irreparable?"he asked."no but you to have fast. She loves you. Everyone knows it. You could mess this up forever right now."she said. 
The next day was church. He taught an adult Sunday school. He came a little late well for him. He went to his classroom. He avoided seing her til after class. After he talked to people and dottled.
He decided to go to the auditorium. "There you are!"She said. "Hi ! He Said.they walked to the pews and Sat down.
After the service he walked her to her car. She walked at s distance. He took her hand and smiled.she smiled back. " about yesterday you have not caught me at my best. I don't know why. I have no idea what I am doing. I ment what I Said yesterday. You were worth the wait and then some." he said. She smiled. " I am glad your in my life. I would not want it any other way. "She said.

S.a.h.m and the late drive part two

Brad was worried.his beloved tessi was gone.it was not like her. She was bold but she would not just leave and the dead if night without telling him.if she had been kidnapped wouldn't he have known about it. He was a heavy sleeper but not that heavy. 
He called her cell phone. He got no answer. He kept trying. Nothing. He kept trying and someone answered.
"Who is this?"a gruf voice on the other end asked. "This is brad graves. I am trying to get a hold of my wife Tessa. Who is this?"he asked.
"This is sergeant Randy Philips with the northport police. Your wife is under arrest. She is being investigated for d.u.I, possibly hit and run and perhaps more."the sergeant said.
"Oh my!" he said. "She is being held at the county jail. "Phlips said. "I see. I assume she won't be released until a bail hearing. "He said. "She will probably appear before a judge tomorrow to fulfil the legal requirement but maybe not a formal arrangement. " the sergeant said.
None of this made any sense. Why did he not hear her leave. What was she doing out at this time of night. He could not believe she would just leave like that.
She had told him she would tone things down after the south Sudan incident. She promised to always keep him in the loop no matter what.she always did that. After a few years of marriage, why would she break it now?
He checked on the kids. They were all in bed. The baby was asleep. He could not sleep. He could not leave the kids.he did ,he did not want to load the kids into the car at this time of night. He did not want to worry his mother in law although he would tell her in the morning.
Even if he went to the lock up tonight there was nothing he could do. They might not see her tonight. He wanted to be with her.
Despite the recent excitement ,there life was mostly quiet and uneventful. They had a peaceful life. He had always been happy. Not perfect but happy. They were both sinners for sure. They we're in love. Now there happy life was threatened.he did not know how or why.
Officer downy arrived at Bradshaw street. He went behind the yellow tape. He went over to officer bell. "The was dead when we arrived. He Was killed by impact of the car. Apearent age is 50s. He had no identification. No wallet. He Seam to be a transient. " bell said.
"His only personal effect was a pamphlet in his pocket.it was titled "Jesus loves the Palestinians too " officer Cohn said.
"Your kidding right?" downy asked. Then officer Cohn showed him the paper. "If course your not. "Downy said. "The man seemed to be killed by a car but we won't know for sure unt the m.e's report. " officer bell said.
"This is not a well traveled road as this time if night. If there were witnesses it will be difficult finding them. " officer Cohn said.
"I have a suspect. I arrested a young lady for erratic driving.I suspected d.u.I but she passed the breathalyzer. She seemed to have no alholole in her. They took a drug sample just in case. " downy  said.
You think she was under the influence of something?"Cohn asked."she would have to be.she was out if it I was sure she was drunk. If not alcohol I'm thinking drug maybe. Weird the lady is super religious. You never can tell with people.we all have our breaking points!"downy said.
Tess was taken to the county jail .she was processed. She was finger printed.she had her mug schot taken.she was changed into a prison issue Orange two peace jumpsuit and given sandles.
She was taken to a holding cell.she fell asleep almost the minute she was left alone. She slept though the night.she woke up the next morning.
She woke up disoriented.  She had no idea where She was. Then she saw the bars door. She Was in prison.she had no idea how or why.
"Tess I never thought we wod meet like this!"detective Morgan said."what's going on?" she asked."you were driving erratically. The officer assumed you were drunk. You tested negative for alcohols. They did a urine test. A homeless man was killed. Hit and run. "Detective Greer said.
"I don't remember getting into the car. Brad and I had a quiet night. We went to bed. Next thing I know I wake up hear. "She declared.
"Is it possible you have a medical condition? You ever have seizures black outs?"Morgan asked.
" I had a check up two week ago. Everything was fine. I have never had any seizures or black out. " she said."I have never slept walk. "She said. "There is going to be s hearing but you probably won't be formerly arranged. You may be hear for a while. "Morgan said. 
She appeared in court. The judge ordered her held. Another hearing was scheduled in two days. She cod be arranged before then.
"Detective Morgan the tox screen is back. We found a drug in her system at the time of the arest "a doctor said."what kind of drug?"Greer asked.
"It was a drug designed by the Soviet union as a kind of truth syrum. It also leaves the person venerable to suggestion.  It has found it's way to the us. It has become a New ecstasy!"the doctor said.
"She was drugged .she might have been under the influence of this drug during the hit and run. " Greer said. "We can't prove her car was involved in the incident. We just assume it was. "Greer said.
"Is this a plot to discredet her? She exposed the south Sudan plot. There is plenty of evidence even if her credibility was impeached. "Morgan said.
"Her husband said she is working on smal cases. A patent infringement and a few others. "Greer said.
"The crime scene unit has determined that the car Was not involved in the hit and run." the captain said.
"The only thing she is guilty of is erratic driving witch is smal time. Somone did that to her. " Morgan said. "She needs to be released. "Greer said. "I will talk to the d.a. " the captain said. "Who drugged her and why?"Morgan asked.
End of part two

Stay at hone mom and the late night drive.

It was in the middle of night. Officer Jacob Downey had just come on at ten a clock. He knew that it would be a long night. It usually was during the night shift in a smal town in a rural part of a mostly rural sate. He usually did not do much during the night shift especially during a week day.
So far the night had been very uneventful. Jake was unsure if he wanted to stay that way or he wanted excitement. He knew he probably would not after it happened .
He made sure He had plenty of coffee.he knew he would need it. He took a few sips. He got ready to take another run though the loop. Then a call came in.
"This is unit one." the officer said . "unit one we have reports of an erratic driver near Larson street. " the dispatcher said.
The driver acknowledged the call.the cop drove to Larsen street. The driver had no idea what was going on. The driver went to the street.
The  car went to the street. The car found the other car. "Unit one in pursuit" he said
He turned the flashing blue lights on.the car refused to yield. The car kept going. The cop car sped up .finally he got the uper hand. The car was trapped .the car rammed the car and ran the other way.
The officer was still able to drive the car. The cop car went after the other car. He decided to lightly ram the car.the car stoped.
The other cop car stoped. The cop got out of the car. The cop ran to the car. "Get out with your hands up!"the police officer insisted.
The driver did not comply.she seemed disoriented. He aimed the gun at her. He insisted she get out. She seemed really out of It. He suspected that she was drunk.
He took out handcuffs. He placed her hands behind her back. She had difficulty walking to the car. He helped her into the back of the car. He closed the door.
She was brought to the station. She was booked and processed. The officer went to his supervisor."have we identified the driver?"He asked. "That is the strange part. Her name is teresa graves. She is a vet. She is currently a private directive. She is a wife and mom.she gave birth to a daughter a few months ago. She recently cracked a case involving a charity being a front for weapons smuggling. "The night sergeant said.
"This is crazzy! "The officer said. "I know that.  "Philips !"the supervisor said. His phone has rang.he had a conversation then hung up.
"What is it?"the officer asked. "Officer bell found a hit and run victim."Philips said. "Was it near Larson?"he asked. "Bradshaw !"Philips said. "This is getting worse and worse. "Downey said. "It sure is!"the sergeant said.
Brad was sleeping. He woke up. He was very grogy. He was very confused at first.
He looked for tessi.she was not there.he go out of bed . He would usually call out her name. He did not want to wake up the kids.sometimes she read or worked on her lap too. He checked the living room and her office. She was not there.
He looked out the window. The car was gone. He dialed her number. No one answered. He had no idea what to do. Where was she? How would he find her. Was something wrong? He had no idea what to do. He felt powerless.
He called the police . he did not know what else to do. He was not sure when she left. Maybe they could find her. He could that they could.
End of prologue.

 

Next door neighbor the conclusion.

Tes was an enigma in Manny ways.she was very girlie. She loved to ware dresses. She loved fashion.at the same time,s he was a bit of a Tom boy. She seemed to be both
A part of her could not believe that she was in south Sudan.another part of her was not surprised by this. Her life routinely took unexpected moves.it certently did today. 
She followed the militia that perused the warlords aided by arms merchant behind the relief group .the militia had there guns on standby. They ran to the enemy staging area.
The crates had been brought from the plane to the ground. There we're members of the arms dealers and the local warlords.
The enemy militia opened fire on the rival army. Tess ran to the battle. The two sides engaged the other.
Tess saw someone She recognized. "Donald Marburg , this hardly looks food and other humanitarian supplies "she said. "You canot bring peace with doctors ,nurses and clean watter. Every time we try to give aid we are attacked. We are sitting ducks. The only answer is to let the sides fight it out. Let one side take out the other or both sides be weak that they cannot fight any more. As long as the warlords want to fight. The comon people will always be caught in the middle. " Don said .
As they talked,the fighting continued. Tess had to dodge bullets and fired some as well. "You are making it worse. You making a disaster into a Tsunami. Your hurting the people."she said
"The poor always get caught in the criaa fire. They are pawns. They will always be. We cab mitigate it.escalation will bring peace eventually. You must rare it down to build it up again. The Phoenix rising from the ashes. We bring the ashes and the Phoenix."he said
More armies loyal to the militia that Tess was working with arrived. The arms merchants were hoping for secrecy. That had been blow up totally. There was no chance of that at this point.
"Why do this? Why make things worse. Your phropheting from calamity !"She said. "Everyone benefits from the calamity of others. Its the way of things. "He said."You make it worse. " Tess said.
The battle was going to the direction of those aligned with Tess. They had sealed the arms dealers and there  allies. They were trapped.
While the battle was televised on multiple formats on the web. News outlets around the world picked it up everyone was watching.
The arms dealers were paid soldiers of fortune,murcinaries.they had no real skin in the game. They started to flea.
Eventualy the warlords allied with the foreign companies surrendered. The weapons were sacured. "I spoke to some friends in the defense department. They are going to pick up the weapons. "Tess said. "No one is going to do business with the south Sudan relief group. The north will have eag on there face!"Simon said. "Good "She said.
"I hope so. "Tess said. "Hopfully we can get foreign agitators out. We can really help our people!" Simon said. "I will help in any way I can. When your country won independence I was routing for your country. I stil am. "Tess said. "One way or another we will make this country work. "Simon said. "I believe you will."she said.
"This is Jessica Armstrong with breaking news. The world is in shock.video footage has gone viral showing groups attached to a charity group selling weapons to factions in south Sudan. There are rumors that these groups were front for the north Sudan. While the justice department has launched an investigation. As gas congress. The United nations ,European union and other world agencies are investigating. The f.b.I has dispatched agent to south Sudan relief group headquarters. " the reporter said.
Tess returned to the sates.she learned that becca had been arrested.she decided to visit her. She waited in visitors area. Becca was dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit.she was shackled. " I am sorry. I made One bad chioce witch led to a thousand more. "She said
"Look I am not hear to judge you .I am not a prosecutor. The case as far as I am concerned is over. I am not hear as Teresa the directive but tesi your friend."she said.
"I will fully cooperate with the investigation. They are going to reach a plea. I will do some time. Will you visit me?"she asked. "Count on it. This need not be the end. You can turn this around. Thus can't be a bump in the road not a ledge. "She said. "I know that.  "Becca answered.
Tess came home. Tess hugged and kissed brad. They stoped and just embraced. She then hugged her kids and her baby.She gave moya a kiss from her pretend mom who although was wrong did love her. "How is ron?"Tess asked. "I have shown him every Bob Jones movie there is. He has made the best of it.I think he knows this is the last movies he will get to see for quite some time. "He said.
"Please promise me that you will slow down. No taking on terrorist. " brad said. "Dead I will stic to lost puppies for a while. List puppies in this zip code. " she promised. "Sounds good. " he said.
Ron was picked up by the police. Ron thanked them for there hospitality. Ron was going to talk to the authorities.he would probably get some kind of deal as well.
Tess called the real parents of moya. "Hi Mrs coulder?" Tess asked. "Yes!"Grace coulder said ."I'm tessi. I believe I have your daughter. We will need to do DNA test and go though hoops with the sate but she is healthy and safe." she said.
The coulder came as fast as they humanly get there. They ran out of the car. Gracie took moya from Tess and held her. Both parents cried. It was a happy ending.
The end.

Next door neighbor part six

Tess never expected to see Ron Grant in her house and at her table. Once brad determined that Ron was unarmed,tesi put on a bath robe and came down the stairs.she sat down.tess made coffe. They all started to drink cofe.
"Ok lets start at the begInning." tes said. "I served in the army.I was in Afghanistan. I was recruited to join what I was told was a non govermentle peace keeping force. I was told we were doing good.we were protecting aid workers. " Ron said.
"That was not what was happening?" brad asked. "No .the aid is a front.it was to get us in the country. As you suspected we were selling weapons to both sides of the factions in the cival war. " Ron said.
Tessi picked up moya and held her.she seemed to like her. "What was the goal of the weapons supply?"tess asked.
"The south Sudan relief fund was the brand child of the Sudanese government. We are a subsidiary of the Sudanese military. Our goal was to escalate the I fighting between the president and former vice president cause a full scale rival war. Then Sudan Invades on humanitarian grounds. While western groups secretly aligned with Sudan including the s.s.r.g comes out and supports it "Ron said.
"Once Sudan gets in,they won't pull out. They will prop up local government loyal to them. "She said. "By the time the African union arrives,most of the country will be under There control. While aid groups that come in will be secretly allied with the north. Western coperations will Make a lot of mony. "Ron said.
"Ok where does you and becka come in?"brad asked. "The s.s.r.g identified individuals and groups that could 've a problem . ones that have minds that are a little too inquiring. You made the list. You were targeted to be spied on. They wanted us to pretend to be your next door neighbors. "Ron said.
"Its is not just us. Earnie is one of ours. "He said. "The old guy?"brad asked. "Among others!"he said. "What about the baby?"tests asked. "We are not really married. We never met  before we were partnered for the mission.we even slept in different rooms. "He said.
"Why did She steal the baby?"tests asked. "The baby actually has nothing to do with the relief group scandal. Becka wanted to have kids. She could not find Mr right. She decided to kidnap a kid. My employees caught up with her and threatened to go to the police unless she helped us. "He' said.
"Where is she now?"tests said. "We were split up. The relief group are not happy with us. You see the killer was also a spy. Becca decided to double cross the group. The group ordered him to kill us. Becca killed him first. She said it was self defense. I don't know if it was or not. " he said.
"So they have infiltrated other churches and religious organizations?"yes asked. "Yes they have. They like control. "He said. "Why help a dictator reclaim territory?"brad asked. "Cream!"he said. "Cream?"brad asked. "It is an acronym. It memes cash rule a everything around me. "She said. "Look this weapons deal will happen in a couple days. The weapons will be sold then the north will wait until they have weekond each other.then the north will strike. "Ron said.
"B let's talk for a minute. Will You excuse us?"she asked. "Sure!"he said.they went over to a corner.They spoke softly.
"Are we going to turn him over to the police tessi?"he asked. "Not yet!"she said. "What do you mean not yet?"brad asked. "Hunnie if we tell the police they will want to question us,probably put us back into protective custody. " she said.
"I really get the inpreson that I am.not going to like us!"he said. "I need you to babysit him while I go to south Sudan. I am going to get evidence linking the group to  smuggling!"She said. "Tesa bear are you crazy?"he asked. "We have to expose this plot and we have to do it soon . if they get away with us,this could bring down the credibility of every institution we hold dear. "She said.
"What do I do with him?"he asked ."well I have lasagna in the fridge. There is several turkeys . you can have him watch out collection of on Jones movies.I would start with flame in the wind then the printing."she said ."this is a bad idea Tessa bear.
"Brad I have to stop this. We are all being used. Used for greed. The name of the Lord is about to be blasphemed
I have a chance to stop it. Please I can do this . this is what I was trained to do. "Tess said.
"If you get caught neither the Sudanese military or the factions of the south Sudan or the soldiers of fortune word hesitate to kill you. It is  dangerous. "Brad said.
"If we don't expose this. They Will continue to ship weapons using charities to help them do it.  This kind of behavior will continue. "She said.
"Why can't I go? "Brad said. "B! I can do this. I have been trained to do this. I know I can do this. I can put an end to this plot. "She said.
"I should go with you?"he asked. "Someone needs to watch the kids,and keep an eye on ron. "She said. "Alright I love you!" brad said. "I love you. "She said.
She got dressed. She book tickets on several air liners. She packed light. She went to the air port. She took several connecting flights. Finally she arrived in the south Sudan.
She was met by several man. " tests I am Simon. I am a representive of the free south sudden army. "He said.
"Did your contact tell you what I needed?"she asked. "Yes he did.you will have My full help. Welcome to south Sudan." he said.
They continued to walk. He motioned for everyone to be quiet. They heard noises. They saw a plane. She recognized It as one that supposed to be transporting relief supplies. There were crates of weapons. She took stil pictures and videos.she imietly uploaded them to face book you tube and other sources.
They made sure it got though.whatever happened,the evidence would be out there.
"You have your proof?"Simon asked. "I do. "She said. She knew that Simon and his men would be attacking the smugglers. She wished that Simon would not resort to violence. She knew it was inevetible.
To be concluded.

Blind date part 12

Abby and Matt decided to go on a date. It was there first date sence they decided to resume there relationship.  They were both nervous. They were both excited at the same time.
Abby spent quite a bit of time getting ready for the date. She was wating for him.she watched for him from the window. She saw the car drive in to the parking lot. She said good bye to her roommate Jill. Jill wished her luck.then she left the home and stepped on to the porch.
He drove from his house to her apartment. He saw her step on to the porch. She wore a pink sweater ,gray skirt and sandles. When he saw her,he smiled. She had that affect on  him. Even when they were not dating,she still made him smile.
She went into the car. He hugged her. She held on to him.  They held on to each other. "Hi ab! "He said."hi!"she said.
They went to the first restaurant they went to . the infamous blind date. They were seated.they looked over the menu then they ordered .
"I heard you had breakfast with mom and my oldest sister's?"he asked"I did. I really like your family.they have relay welcomed me. I had a good time with them."she said. "I'm glad. They had a good time with you. I had no idea that they were planing on doing that " he said."nor did I? Until twenty minutes before they showed up."she said. "I am not surprised."he said .
The waiter brought there drinks. Mat ordered a Pepsi. She had wine. They kept talking.she took a sip of the alcohole. Then she realized that she had ordered alcohol.
Matt was an independent fundamental Baptist. I.f.b were generally against alholic consumption. Usualy they had a passionate dislike for alcoholic beverage. She had not realized that she had ordered it. 
"You ok ab ?"He asked. "Look I did not think about it. I don't drink that much. I usually have one glass and I'm done. "She said.
"Ok. "He said. "Your not upset about it?"she asked. "Well I gues I would perfer you did not. I know that you are hardly an alcoholic. I know it is not something you do all the time. I don't see it being a big deal. " he said .
"Its not?"she asked. "No it's not. I would say when We were married I would perfer you drink at home and on special occasions.I hope you would not go to bars."he said. "Yea I don't do bars."Abby said.
"Mr. Cambel did I hear you correctly? Did you say when not if we get married?"she asked.he had a great big smile on his face. "Yes I believe I did."Matt replied. "Abby Campbell that has a nice ring to it! She said. "Not reverend doctor Abby Gray cambell?"he asked. "That too. "She said. They laughed.
"You don't worry that we are just too mismatched?"she asked. "No I don't. I love you and we are going to make this work."he said. She was surprised to hear him say that."I love you too. I wanted someone to day that to me. I gues I come over as strong,dominerng I am not quite as confident as I come off. "She said. "I know. "He said.
"You don't worry about our differences. We come at things form very different angles?"she asked. "I have never even afraid of differences. I have core views. I come at things from the lense of independent fundimetle Baptist because i believe that that is best. I think things though I don't mind being chalenged. I know sometimes you have to wrestle with things. " he said.
"I don't always see things from the ucc lense. I am a literalist.I do believe in mericles. I am more of a liberal in other things. I am an advocate of social justice I gues. I  believe that women can be minister's. I wrestle with things as well."she said.
"Do you wory about our differences?"he asked. "I think I can accept your opinions easier the. You can. I fear that we just won't be able to work from them. "She said.
"I have strong views.I believe them to be correct. Having said that I know that I am not infallible.I know I don't have everything right. I am far more easy going then I appear. I want you and I to be on the same side. " he said.
"What if I complete my studies.what if I am ordained as a minister in the u.c.c ? Do you think that I will see the era of my ways and end my studies?"she asked.
"I knew we would have to have that talk some times. I was hoping that we would have more time before that talk."he said.
" I don't mean to put you on the spot."She said. "No it's ok. I guess I would perfer that you not persue the ministry but I don't antipate that that will happen. I would never make you chose between the two. I am not a dictator "he said.
"It may be on Sunday you go preach at your church and me at myine."she said. "I know that. I understood that when we decided to resume our relationship."he said.
"Did you really get all that that entails?"she asked."perhaps not totally. "He said. "I just needed to know what you thinking on this. I am sorry if I was too harsh."she said. "No your fine. " he said.
"Will you always be patient with me?"she asked. "I will definitely try. I want to be. I am very easy going as I said even though I do not appear to be. I want to earn your trust. "Mat said.
"I do trust you. "She said. "I want to do right by you. I will do everything to do just that. "He told her.
"Ok. I just needed to hear it. I did not intend to be obstinate tonight!"she said."your not. This is won't be easy. I wish I could tell you it would we. It Will take work and frustration at times. "He said.
"I know that. "She said. "I wish I could say I will ever fail you Or disappoint you but sadly I know I will. "He said."I will dispoint you at times. "She said. "Hard is nesasirily bad. "He said. "The riskier the road the greater the prophet."she said. "Who said that?"he asked. "The firengi on star trek. ."she said.  The two laughed.
"My point is that the harder something is,the outcome is that much better. "She said. "I see what you mean.
"I wish I could say I will not disipoint you. I would be a fool to think I won't."he said. "If gues we have to just work at things. Not give up.I don't like disipointing you either."she said.
"We do have to work at this. I don't know that we fully understand what that means. "He said.
He paid the Bill. Then the two left. They held hands as they walked to the car. "Not quite an easy night?"she asked. "No it was not but that's ok. We are together. "He said. She smiled."yes we are. "She said. The two looked at each other.
They got into the car. "So are you in a rush or can we talk on the steps for a bit?"she asked. "I would like that. " He said.
They walked to her porch steps. "Ok I have two questioned for you.one do you want to marry me? Second do you think we will get married?"she asked.
"I have given this a lot of thought. Realy I have thought of little else. Yes I do want to marry you. As to the seconds questione, I gave this a lot of thought as well. I can't imagine being with any one else. I do think we will. What is your answer to those questions?"he asked.
She smiled. "I definitely want to marry you. I liked you sense that first date. That answer has grown stronger. As to the second,I had my doubts . we are so different.  In talking to you my fears have been alleviated. I do think we Will get married."she said.
"I am excited for it. I can imagine us waking up . probably being woken up by a kid asking us about the hyposatic union. "He said. "The next day we will get to debate the kinosis. "She said. They laughed.
"I like the thought of us building a life together. We will have a good life. "He said. "I know we will. Your different tonight. More relaxed. "She said. "As I said I have time to think about things sense we resumed our relationship. I have decided that I am In all the way. I gues I feel at liberty to let my guard down a bit. I gues I don't have to be so uptight now. "He said.
"I can tell. Your not afraid of me any more?"she teased him. "No I am still afraid of you !"he said. "Because I am so intimidating!" she said.
"Your working on your masters I have to work to keep my A,b average. "He said. She put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder."your not as afraid of me ? That's good. I don't want you. Be too afraid of me. Mayby a little . "she said. "Ok I  will keep that in mind . " he said .
"I am a little afraid of you. "She admired. "Me?"he asked. I assumed you were  strict, uptight serious ,somber ,sour  "She said. "I am no fun. "He said. They laughed. "I  that my types of fundies in general  and of you May not be accurate. " she said.
After a while they dexided it was getting late. " Its getting late I should probably be getting back."he said. "Ok . it is getting late. I had a good night tonight " she said "I did too. " he said. " I love you more then I could possibly express ." she said. "I think I have a good idea. " he said.
All of a sudden they kissed. A real kiss. "Did you just kiss me?" she asked."I think you kissed me ?"he said. "I am prety sure you kissed me" she said. " no I don't think so. I did not think we were at kissing phase." he said. "I did not think that either. " she said. They Laughed.
She went inside. "Did you two kiss?"Jill asked . "yes We did. " she answered. "I don't think I have seen  you happier. " she said. She laughed.
He went home. "You were gone a long time?"Kathy commented."yes. We had a good night. " he said " I figured. " she said. "I  am going to marry her some day. " he said."yea I know. "She said.
End of part 12.

Blind date part 9

Mat and Abby were the unlikely of couples. Matt was very conservative . he was a traditionalist. Abby was not liberal exactly but not an independent fundamentalist. The two decided to part ways. Well mat did. The two went in very separate directions.
Both attempted to date other people. It went badly for both. They decided to not attempt that again for a while.they decided to wait.wait for what they were not sure of but they were waiting never the less .
Abby was quite busy. She had cases and studies. She also was helping at a local church. She preached ,was involved in commities,church yard sales and other activities in the church and in the community.
Matt was buisy himself. He had classes. He also helped out his dad with pastoral duties and preaching. He found out he was going to be a big brother again.
She still thought about him. He did not think about her as much.at the same time,he did think about her on occasion.
"Ok Abby it's time to relax!"her roommate said. "I will but I am on  a role!"Abby wull.  "You said that three hours ago and three hours before that. " Jill remarked.
"I know . I Wil stop. Now!"she said.she had been sitting crosed legged . she got up. "I am getting a little Hungary now that I think of it!"she said. She was heading for the kitchen.she started to collapse. Jill headed to her.
"I'm ok!"Abby said. "You need to get to the hospital!"Jill told her. "I'm fine!"Abby responded. "You have two chooses.option one I drive you to the e.r option two I call. 911!"Jill told her. "Ok drive me. I don't want ride in an ambulance . "she said.Jill helped Abby into the car. They drove to the hospital.
Jill got an orderly to get a wheel chair for Abby. Abby was taken to the e.r.she was checked out.then she was admitted.
Jill waited in a waiting room . she had abbys cell phone.she looked though her contact list and found Matt. She dialed it.
Matt was mowing the lawn. He heard his phone gone off.he saw that it was Abby. He was surprised to hear from her. He pushed the button to answer.
"Hi abb what's up!"he said."hi Matt it's Jill abbys roommate."she said.
He got really scared. Was she ok? Did something happen to her? "Is abb ok?"he asked. "She was studying and she started to feel wobbly.she is at the hospital. I am waiting to hear back from the doctor.I thought you should know !" Jill said.
"Thank you for telling me ! I will be right over. I will get hear as soon as I can!"he told her. He. Immediately went to his car and drove to the hospital. He got as fast as he could within the traphic law of course.
He was directed to the floor He was in. Floods of fears went though her mind. He went though a fliry of diagnoses known of them good. He was a preacher not a doctor. He told himself to calm down. It might not be the worst case syinerio.he had to be positive. He had to be strong.
He found Jill. "Matt I just heard from the doctor. She is going to be fine. Apearently our little miss workaholic over did it and became dihydrated. She is being given fluids.she should be released tomorrow. They are keeping her for observation. "Jill said.
"They are sure it is just dehydration?"Matt asked. "Yes they are. They are not worried.I intend to keep a closer her on her hydration which she will love. "Jill said.
The elevator door opened, a man in a trench coat and suit came in. Matt did not recognize him but Jill did. Jill knew him from the seminary. It was the reverend Michael clendon.
"Is Abb ok?"clendon asked. Matt got relay uneesey when he used one of the pet naimes he used. So did Jill.
"She is fine. She just got a little dehydrated. "Jill told her. Matt noticed that Jill did not talk to clendon in quite the same way.
"Who are you?"clendon asked."I'm Matt cambel I am a friend of Abby. You are?"he asked.
  "I am the reverend Michael clendon. I was in seminary with Abigail. "He said. Matt was not too impresed with Mike. He senced that Jill was not either.
"I had never heard about you. You must not be too important in her life."clendon remarked. Matt did not say anything in response. "Wait I know who you are. Your the fundy that broke abbygail's heart!" mike said.
Jill was not pleased with clendon. Perhaps mike felt threatened by Matt.Matt had never seen the man in his life. He had no feelings for or against.  "That is probably true!"Matt admitted.Jill did not think that was fair.
Jill was hoping that Michael would leave. There was no sign that he was about to leave. She did not think that the two would get into a fist fight but one never knew.
Jill was allowed to come in to see Abby. Abby was hooked up to an I.v.she was clad in a hospital gowan."Jill no lecture!"Abby said. "That's no fun but ok. I figure the doctor and nurses have given you plenty of lectures. "Jill said. "They have. "Abby said.
"Just be more careful please. You gave me quite a scare. Lets not do that again!"Jill pleaded with her. "I will be more carefull. I promise. I will drink more water and stay hydrated. " Abby said.
"Oh you have visitors ! They are waiting in the lobby."Jill told her. "Who are they? "She asked. "The reverend Michael clendon. "Jill Told her. "He is hear? How did he find out?"Abby asked. "I have no idea. "Jill assured her. "Who is the other visitor ?"she asked. " it's Matt !" Jill answered her.
"Mats hear?'she asked. She was almost agitated."he is in the lobby.he and mike have an uneasy truce. Matt is verry easy going and laid back. He is not giving in to Mike's goading. "Jill said .
"How did he find out?"Abby asked."I called him. I figured he would want to know. He got hear prety quickly.I think he actually went the speed limit."Jill commented. "Yea he kinda has the opposite of a led foot. I think my 90 year old great grandmother drives faster then he does. " Abby said.
"They both want to see you. "Jill said. "Get Matt in hear. I don't want to think about mike right now. " she said.Jill smiled. "That is what I thought you say. I will be right back!"Jill said.
Matt was reading a boating magazine. " so you are a king James hyim singing Christian that wants women barefoot pregnant and silent in the church. " mike said.
"I do use the king James.I sing hyims. Technicaly you are correct but I don't ageee with the way you have constructed that statement. "Matt answered.
"The bible contains the word of God no doubt. Is every word inspired by God? I would say not necessarily. There are things that got added. Things that have become part of the Canon but may not be devinly inspired.some things reflect the culture of the day. Paul Grace alone apart from works was probably not according to the Lord . "he said.
The door opened, Jill came out. "Matt Abby is asking for you!"Jill said. "Is she asking to see me?"Michael asked."she has not yet!"Jill replied. 
Matt opened the door and went inside. "If your going to lecture me please don't I got an earful from Jill and the staf. "Abby said.
"I'm not going to lecture you."he said.he went over and gave her a great big hug. She did not let him go right away.
"I over did it Matty I tend to do that "she told her. "Well I am glad your ok.I hope you will be carefull. "He said."I will I promise . "she said. "Good! I won't lecture you any more . reverend Abby. "He said.
"Hear we go with the reverend Abby thing. How have you been?"she asked."good buisy but good.it's seems I am going to be a big brother again. "He said."congrats. What is this ?child number twenty?"she asked."funny no number eight." he said. "Ok my bad!"Abby said .
"So mike who is he?"Matt asked. "He was completing his docterite when i started. He is now ordained. He has a crush on me. "She said.
"I assume it is one sided"?he asked."very much so . well I did go on one date just to see if a relationship was doable but it is not. "She said."you went on a date ?"he asked."it was just for coffee. I was one on the rebound from you. "She said. "Oh! I went on one date myself.She was sweet but it went no where. "He said.
"I am glad you stoped by. It is good to see you. "She told him. "Its good to see you. Take it easy please."he said. "I will."she said.
He left the room.mat walked away.he went to his car and went home. He had some time before lunch. He went to his room. He did some thinking.
A week later Matt was working on a surmon that he would preach on Sunday. His phone went off.the caller I.d said that it was reverend Abby. He hoped That this is not a medical emergency. He hit the answer button.
"Hello!" Matt said. "My car broke down. I have no idea why. "Abby said."where are you?" he said. "I am in granger. "She said ."ok I am on my way. " he said.
He immediately jump in his car.he found her.he parked next to her. "I know I'm hopeless. " she said. "Its fine! I'm happy to help. "Matt said.
He was able to get started. He thought it was fixed. "Look I will follow you home. " he said. "Ok thanks. Will you always come to my rescue?"she asked. "Yea I will."he said.
"Good. I will try to not have it be too inconvenient of a time. "She said. "Oh ok! " he said."thank you for coming. I'm not usually like this. " she said ."I know that. "He said.
"So did mike finally see you ?"he asked."he was not going away. I decided to finally let him in. I could not get rid of them .Jill finally ran interference for me. " she said.
He followed her home. They made it home. "Thank you. "She said."no problem. " He said.
That night Abby took a break from work and focused on thinking. "Why don't you talk to him ?" Jill asked. "It won't do any good. There are just too many issues. Too many differences. We just can't work this out. "Abby told her.
"Are you sure? Go talk to him. See if you can work this out. "Jill said. "Alright I will go see him tomorrow. "She said.
She had no idea If this was a good idea or not but she going to see him the next day.

Blind date part 8

Mat and Abby have gone there seperate ways. It seemed perhaps never to reconnect.returning to what they knew.
Abby had reconnected with a fellow seminary student. A recent graduate named Michael clendon. He really liked her,he had for a while. She always held back. He never understood why.in his mind,they were perfect for each other. She did not see it that way. They were both interlecuals.
  He had a dream of them pastoring local churches and working together.he hoped he could convince her to date him. So far it had been less then successful.
She agreed to meat Mike at a local cafae. She went in and saw Michael.Michael was usually very serious. He was not sour but was usually serious. When he laid eyes on you,he smiled. He got out and shock her hand.
"I am so glad to see you ab!"he said.she tried to hide her shock and dismay at him using the Nick name mat had used. She was careful not to dwel on it. It was not his fault. She was not mad at him. She tried to move on.
"So are you going to accept a church or are you content to being the district superintendents lackey?"she asked. "I do enjoy my work for the district. Pastor richmount is planing to retire this year. I hope to be in the running. I must confess my heart is more in the administration of a district then an individual church. I suspect you will find a church and stay there for a time. "He said.
"I want to build up a local congregation. It take time!"she told him. "I am more about the big picture. I want to transform an area for the gospel I suppose."he said. "A big picture starts by developing a series of little pictures Mike !"she told him."true I suppose ab. I prefer to direct others to do the small picture!"he said.
She really wished he would stop calling her by that name. She did not want to sa anything . she did not want to explain why.
"I know we need those who direct the big and the smal. "She said. "That is why we would be a great couple Abigail. We would compliment each other. "Mike said.
If there was anything she hated more then being called ab by anyone besides mat,it was being Abigail.she felt like she was three. 
"That is an argument ."she said."are you Romantically involved with anyone at the moment ?"he asked.
"I was seing someone casually but it did not work out. "She said. "I am sort to hear that. His loss!"he said.
"So you are looking to take up a church?"she asked."for now. By my time till the superintendent is permoted or retires. "He said. "I figured. " she said.
"I see the value in building up local perished . I am interested in the administration the process. I will give the day to day operations to the local pastors. I know that that is your passion!"he said.
Odd she thought . she had come hear willing to give a potentle relationship with Michael a chance.while she had rebuffed him o. Previous occasions,she considered that she missed something. She wanted to give him a second chance.she inadvertently led him on. She decided that this was just not going to work. .Mike was not a viable option. She knew that now.
She wanted to leave but stayed for a bit. Luckily he  had a meeting and wanted to get ready. He walked her other car. "We should do this again soon ab! I do enjoy talking to you."he said.
"Look Michael,I am going to level with you,I just don't see it happening. I like you. I don't think we are a good match. I'm sorry to have led you on."she said.
"Its ok. I gues I a not surprised.if you change your mind,you know where to reach me!"he said.
She felt bad but felt she had to be honest with him. It was a mistake for her to agree to it.it did convince her that was a door that should not be opened.
She came in to her apartment. Her romate was waiting for her. Apparently she wanted a play by play report on what had occured.
"I have no idea why I did that. He is a nice guy but he really not my type. I was really considering perusing a relationship with him ! We are not a good match!"Abby said. "I could have told you that. Oh wait I did several times. I can't believe you were thinking of dating him. I thought you ruled that out ling ago!"she said.
"I thought I had too. I don't know what got into me!"she said. "I do! Your on the rebound form Matt!"she told her. "How can I be on the rebound,we never dated not really!"she said. "Every time you came home,you were glowing. You fr something for him. You still do. Micheal? He is the polar opposite of Matt!"she said.
"I know.Mike is conceited ,ful of himself. Mat is not like that. That ship has sailed.he made that abundantly clear. "Abby said.
"Mayby you should talk to him. Mayby he has changed his mind. "Her roommate said "he has probably found someone by now. She is probably a king James. Hyim singing dress wearing girl who has never spoken a word in church." Abby said.
"Your miserable Abby. Mayby he is too. You can understand his perspective. You are very different. You see things differently."her roommate told Abby.
"I don't think I'm cut out for his world.he is surly not cut out for my world.we are at an inpass. "Abby said.
  Matt was excited to go out with Heidi at first. As the  day Got. Closer he got second thoughts.she was sweet but there was really no connection.why was he suddenly trying to try again with her. As the time of the date got closer he found his thoughts heading towards abby.
He liked Heidi. She was sweet and she was godly. He just did not think that she was a good fit for him. He considered canceling the event but decided not to.
He met up with her at a restaurant.she smiled as he arrived. "How are things ?"she asked."good how are you?"she asked. "Good!"he responded.
They engaged in small talk.none of the conversation went anywhere. Mat found himself thinking about Abby. He tried not to.
After a while they left. He said his goodbyes. He went home.he went inside. He saw his sister Kathy."how did it go with Heidi?"she asked.
"I never should have gone.she is great but I don't think that she is right for me. I am not sure why I went. "He said.
"You stil have feelings for Abby?"she asked. "I do. I wish I did not. We can't be together. Yet I want to. I hate it."he said.
"Mayby this is not the time to date.perhaps it is time to take a step back.maybe it is time to reevaluate things. There Is something else you may need to consider !"she said.
"What is that?"he asked. "The answer may not be no but not now. Maybe later." Kathy said. "What if she does not wait.I can't ask her to wait."he said.
"If she is the one you may not have to!"she said. "Perhaps!"he said.
While Abby went to her contact list. She saw the name matty.she almost hit the send button. She decided not to do it.
