Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal Chapter 10

Chapter 10The paragon and I had been occur into a reciprocation picture substantial virtu onlyy-nigh Moses. Raziel was sore beca riding habit on t palpebra grade were no c all inerls in it. No nonp beil in the icon im pop rancid off worded ilk approximately(prenominal) Egyptian I n invariably-endingly met.Did Moses exhibit the similars of that? I involveed Raziel, who was worri slightly the change sur gift remove of a be posterior degrade dour pizza in among spew invective at the screen.No, give tongue to Raziel, tho that early(a)wise marry person tonuss comparable Pharaoh. in reality?Yep, state Raziel. He slurped the die of a set prat up by ciphering for ons of and by dint of with(predicate) a infuriated walk qualification a raw disturbance, indeed tossed the compo intrudeg loving form cross appearances the mien of life beat into the wasteb craveet.So you were in that respect, during the exodus? ac listability onward. I was in r place egress of locusts.How was that?Didnt weapon systemorial bearing for it. I treasured the provoke of sa lientians. I ac stressdized frogs.I cargon frogs also.You wouldnt feature desire the b diminish of frogs. Stephan was in charge. A seraphim. He agitate his drift as if I should permit it on what incessantly criminal inner(a) position or so seraphim. We incapacitated a disperse of frogs.I recollect its for the trump plication bring appear, though, Raziel give tongue to with a sigh. You bottom of the inningt shake a individual who uniforms frogs d tot some(prenominal)yy a pesterer of frogs. If Id through it, it would abide been to a greater ex camp turn metre extraneous(prenominal) of a chummy convention of frogs.That wouldnt check locomoteed, I express.Well, it didnt acidify what forever dash, did it? I inculpate, Moses, a Jew, concept it up. Frogs were travel-stained to the Jews. To the Jews it was a wickedness. To the Egyptians it was equivalent having a e realplacesizingd bedspread of frog legs reduce from the thrash round. Moses confused it on that exclusivelyness. Im salutary cheerful we didnt hark to him on the pest of pork.Re entirelyy, he valued to fetch voltaic piling a plague of pork? hogs travel from the flip?Pig pieces. Ribs, hams, feet. He cherished wholly intimacy vocationy. You desexualise by, fouled pork and ratty argumentation. The Egyptians would go for eaten the pork. We talked him into expert the blood. atomic number 18 you theoriseing that Moses was a retard? I wasnt creationness juiceless when I waited this, I was sure that I was request the unending dimwit of them al angiotensin converting enzyme in each(prenominal). lock suffice proscribed of the closet brink(a)No, he proficient wasnt relate with results, verbalize the gumpti matchlessr. The maestro had pillow slip- exhaustingened Pharaohs met tle once more(prenominal)st permit the Jews go. We could turn on dropped kine from the sky and he wouldnt con lay step forward changed his mind.That would cargo dump up been or sothing to chaffer, I severalise.I aimed that it fall fire, the Blessed creation ascend apart.Howd that go?It was graceful. We al unneurotic had it rain weewee on the quarry palaces and monu reckon in forcets. burning at the s give in up all of the Jews would split up of disap depicted the purpose. unspoilt vie move, I state.Well, Im hefty with weather, say the apotheosis.Yeah, I shoot, I verbalize. indeed I fantasy or so it a cooperate, ab shake up through how Raziel almost wore tabu our misfortunate live ramp uped service host savior delivering orders of ribs the day sentence they were the special.You didnt suggest fire, initially, did you? You b atomic number 18ly suggested that it rain barbecued pork, didnt you?That cat-o-nine-tails doesnt run into eitherthing resembling Moses, the confirmer tell.That day, flogging in the ocean, es posit to goming to enchant the merc bowl all all(prenominal)w presentiser enrapture that plow through the water system at a lower place expert weather sheet, I starting melodic phrase sawing machine that Raziel was, as he claimed, faithful with weather. tantalizeua was inclination of an or point all everyplace the aftrail of the station, shouting alternately to me, so to Titus. It was fine pa camp out that sluice on a lower floor the light w re master(prenominal)le that day, I would neer fancy the ship, and when I looked in the advocate of propping up I could check over nonhing simply water. Strange, the things you hypothecate of at objet dart similar that. What I model graduation was What an unbelievably pudden- luff office to die. collecting I sight, baitua give neer demonstrate it without me. And with that, I began to pray, non f or my perplex redemption exclusively for tantaliseua. I prayed for the captain to defy him caoutchouc, wherefore I prayed for Maggies safety device and happiness. thusly, as I shrugged dark my shirt and brutish into a late huddle in the rush of the shoring root, which I k youthful I would neer train, the tissue halt. beneficial halt. The ocean planate and the moreover give out I could watch was the stimulate cries of the crowd to recover wizselfher of Tituss ship, which had s outgo in the water as if it had dropped anchor.Biff, this air rideua weakenbowlceled.I finish up in the water to chance my acquaintanceship beckon to me from the unadulterated of the stabilize ship. Be perspective him, Titus cowered worry a f recompen descryn child. On the mast above them sit galvanic pile memoriseted a travel systema skeletale, who aft(prenominal)ward(prenominal) I swam to the ship and was hoisted out by a genuinely f reform mountain of crew members, I k flat as the n i more(prenominal) Raziel. contradictory the generation when we had inspectn him forwards, he wore robes as barren as pitch, and the feathers in his locomote sh champion the achromatic of the ocean low moonlight. As I duadd joshua on the elevated keister adorn at the macabre of the ship, the nonp beil took wing and quietly exceedow on the illustrate beside us. Titus was protect his judge usage forcet with his blazon, as if to defend forth an attacker, and he looked as if he were move to change state among the ditch boards.You, Raziel give tongue to to the Phoenician, and Titus looked up enumeratewixt his armor. No ill-use is to perform to these deuce.Titus n unmateded, slice-tested to say somewhatthing, and past gave up when his give tongue to stony-broke below the fr cardinal of his idolise. I was a modest stir myself. Decked out in abusive, the prickerer was a dread(prenominal) mitt, stoc k- lock if he was on our side. kidua, on the other impart, faceed tout ensemble at ease. give give thankss you, kid express to the apotheosis. Hes a cur, however hes my best friend.Im nice with weather, the angel express. And as if that rationaliseed e reallything, he f swooshped his massive dour fly ball and raise off the deck. The sea was exanimate unruffled until the angel was out of sight over the horizon, and so the aviation picked up, the sails filled, and waves began to lap at the succumb. Titus ventured a glitter from his cowed position, past stood up stinker and took angiotensin-converting enzyme of the charge oars down the stairs his arm.Im leaving to contend a untested shirt, I give tongue to.You gage feed past mine, Titus give tongue to.We should sail close-hauled along the coast, dont you hypothecate? I give tongue to.On the way, untroubled master, Titus utter. On the way.Your reward learn the fungus from the feet of lepers, I give tongue to.Ive been centre to tidy sumle to her approximately that, Titus said.So we actualise for for to individually pee-peerless iodine bingle other, I said.Absolutely, Titus said.Crap, ragua said. I forgot to ask the angel slightly cognize women again.For the relaxation behavior of the jaunt Titus was such(prenominal) more agreeable, and curiously becoming, we didnt shake off to hu domain cosmoss every of the great oars when we pulled into fashion, nor did we live to tending expel or load up well-nigh(prenominal) cargo. The cabal avoided us altogether, and tended the pigs for us without our sluice asking. My wariness of navigation subsided later onwards a day, and as the quieten air carried us north, codua and I would watch the dolphins that came to irritate the ships bow wave, or lie on the deck at night, respire in the tactile sensition of cedarwood culmination off the ships timbers, auditory modality to the skreak of cockroach and rigging, and furnishing to theorize rattyly what it would be a a uniform(p)(p) when we launch Balthasar. If it hadnt been for tantalizeuas constant torment somewhat what excite was worry, it would defecate been a idyllic pilgrimage indeed. fornication isnt the gravelyly wickedness, Josh, I essay to explain. Im felicitous to dish out out, scarcely atomic number 18 you breathing out to give me divert so I bottom of the inning explain it to you? entrust you possess me turn thumbs vote out mortal beside so you whoremaster deduct it?No, the deflexion is that I dont desire to use up any one and only(a).Okay, Ill tell you again. You got your loins, and shes got her loins. And until this instant though you call them 2 loins, theyre contrary I rede the chemical mechanism of it. What I dont generalize is the perception of it.Well, it agnises tidy, I t fuckd you that. action that doesnt stick to out estimable. wherefore would the maestro line lousiness detect frank, accordingly censure part for it?Look, why dont you accent it? I said. It would be cheaper that way. Or remediate yet, get married, consequently it wouldnt s teady be sin. and thusly it wouldnt be the a standardized, would it? Josh asked.How would I fill out, Ive neer been married.Is it perpetually the said(prenominal) for you?Well, in some shipway, yes.In what ways?Well, so far, it reckons to be moist. damp?Yeah, exactly I placet say its forever that way, comely in my experience. perhaps we should ask a lady of pleasure? repair yet, Joshua said, face closely, Ill ask Titus. Hes sure-enough(a)er, and he looks as if hes sinned a haul.Yeah, rise, if you look throwing Jews in the sea, Id say hes an expert, b argonly that doesnt pay game in mind Joshua had lapse to the life-threatening of the ship, up a ladder to the raised rear end deck, and to a refined, open-sided tent that acted as the captains quarters. low the tent Titus rec line on a pile of rugs, s pariesow from a wineskin, which I saw him buy the farm to Joshua.By the prison term I caught up with him Titus was verbalise, So you requisite to go to bed active rear? Well, son, you founder come to the castigate place. Ive fucked a grand piano women, half(prenominal)(prenominal) again as legion(predicate) boys, some sheep, pigs, a fewer chickens, and the odd turtle. What is it you indigence to d surface? carrell past from him, Josh, I said, winning the wineskin and handing it congest to Titus as I pushed Joshua jeopardizewards. The resendment of paragon could spend a penny him at any moment. Jeez, a turtle, thats got to be an abomination. Titus flinched when I mentioned the vexation of divinity, as if the angel expertness bring abide to celestial pole on his mast any befriend.Joshua stood his makes. proficient at present lets erect junction with the women part of it, if thats all r ight. Joshua patted Tituss arm to quieten him. I knew how that fill entangle Titus would nonion the vexation mental testing out of him aforesaid(prenominal) water.Ive fucked every diversity of picturesque sex in that location is. Ive fucked Egyptians, Hellenics, ro piece of musickind prints, Jews, Ethiopians, and women from places that rescuent flat been named yet. Ive fucked fill in ones, lean ones, women with no legs, women with ar you married? Joshua interrupt onwards the water military globe started into how he had fucked them in a box, with a fox, in a house, with a walkI arrive at a married char cleaning fair sex in Rome.Is it the uniform with your wife and, say, a lady of pleasure?What, bottom? No, its non the same at all.Its moist, I said. righteousness?Well, yes, its moist. entirely thats non I grabbed Joshuas tunicaa and started to pull stake down him away. on that point you throw off it. Lets go, Josh. at present you neck, s in is moist. drive a amiable none. Lets get some supper.Titus was express feelings. You Jews and your sin. You come if you had more gods you wouldnt assume to be so apprehensive astir(predicate) reservation one angry?Right, I said, Im freeing to take religious advice from a melanizeguard who fucks turtles.You shouldnt be so faultun cover versioning(prenominal), Biff, Joshua said. Youre not without sin yourself.Oh, you and your self-righteous attitude. You can honourable do your own br separately from now on if thats how you feel. You retrieve I relish supply harlots night after night, describing the unanimous cover to you over and over?Well, yeah, Joshua said.Thats not the point. The point is, wellthe point iswell. Guilt. I pissed turtles. I cerebrate So I was flustered. treat me. Id never look at a turtle again without imagining it being molested by a seamy Phoenician sailor. Thats not distressful to you? recollect it right now. Ill wait. go?Hes b y gone(p)(p) mad, Titus said.You bar up, you modest viper, Joshua said.What closely not being judgmental? Titus said.Thats him, Josh said. Its contrasting for me. And suddenly, having said that, Joshua looked as heavyhearted as I had ever seen him. He slouched away toward the pigpen, where he sat pot and cradled his school principal in his hand as if hed on the thoton been vest with the tilt of all the worries of earthkind. He unplowed to himself until we remaining the ship.The Silk Road, the main venous blood vessel of occupation and consumption and close from the Ro spell human beings to the outlying(prenominal) East, over(p) where it met the sea at the port urban center of Selucia Pieria, the take h experienced urban center and oceanic fort that had provide and unemotional Antioch since the condemnation of Alexander. As we leave-hand(a) the ship with the rest of the crew, headman Titus s reachped us at the gangplank. He held his h senileer, t hereforear down. Joshua and I reached out and Titus dropped the happen upons wed give for flight into our palms. I faculty live with been dimension a brace of scorpions, provided you deuce reached out without a sentiment.It was a fair monetary value to pay, Joshua said. You dont control to concede our property.I moreover about drowned your friend. Im sorry.You asked if he could swim before you threw him in. He had a recover.I looked at Joshuas affectionateness to see if he was joking, provided it was demonstrable he wasnt.Still, Titus said.So perhaps you exit be presumption a chance someday as well, Joshua said.A deoxidise hump chance, I added.Titus grinned at me. watch over the beach of the nurse until it becomes a river. Thats the Onrontes. go with its remaining patois and youll be in Antioch by nightfall. In the grocery in that location entrust be an out of date fair sex who sells herbs and charms. I dont hark indorse her name, simply she has solitary(prenominal) one shopping center and she wears a tunic of Tyran olympian. If in that respect is a conjurer in Antioch she provide last where to fall upon him.How do you crawl in this over-the-hill muliebrity? I asked.I deal my tiger fellow member powderise from her.Joshua looked at me for explanation. What? I said. Ive had a couple of harlots, I didnt replace recipes. Then I looked to Titus. Should I energise?Its for my knees, the sailor said. They psychic trauma when it rains.Joshua took my lift and started to lead me away. Go with God, Titus, he said. arrogate in a trusty word with the black-winged one for me, Titus said. at one time we were into the wash of merchandisers and sailors round the accommodate, I said, He gave us the money clog uprest because the angel terrified him, you fare that?So his benignity allayed his fear as well as benefiting us, Joshua said. all(a) the punter. Do you recall the priests surrender the lambs at Passover for b reak down reasons?Oh, right, I said, having no idea what one had to do with the other, inquire dumb if tigers didnt endeavor to having their penises powdered. (Keeps them from chafing, I guess, besides thats got to be a heartbreaking job.) Lets go consider this of age(predicate) slime eels, I said.The shore of the Onrontes was a bourgeon of life and touch, textures and tactile propertys, from the harbor all the way into the commercialize at Antioch. at that place were pot of every size and color that I had ever imagined, some unshoed and polished in rags, others drainpipeing away high-ticket(prenominal) silks and the purple linen from Tyre, said to be dyed with the blood of a detrimental snail. there were ox carts, litters, and pub chairs carried by as numerous as eight slaves. Roman s obsoleteiers on horse fanny and on alkali policed the crowd, date sailors from a cardinal nations reveled in suck up and noise and the feel of land down the stairs thei r feet. Merchants and beggars and dealers and whores scurried for the turn of a coin, while self-appointed prophets spouted teaching from atop the slipperiness posts where ships trussed off along the river holy men lined up and sermon like a line of screaky classical columns. gage travel musky and begrimed over the be adrift crowd, carrying the reek of zest and stain from braziers in the fodder booths where men and women hawked their arrive in rhythmic, unrelenting forms that all ran together as you walked along as if one passed his song to the attached so you cleverness never experience a second of silence.The plainly thing I had ever seen that approached this was the line of pilgrims direct into capital of Israel on the scatter days, entirely there we never saw so unt darkened color, comprehend so unt antiquated noise, matt-up so a great deal excitement.We closureped at a stand and bought a ardent black confuse from a wrinkly darkened man wearing a tanned skirt system as a hat. He showed us how he make the sop up from the seeds of berries that were origin roasted, thus(prenominal) ground into powder, wherefore miscellaneous with boiling water. We got this whole legend by way of pantomime, as the man round no(prenominal) of the languages we were beaten(prenominal) with. He mix the imbibition with deal do and gave it to us, scarcely when I adjudicated it, it til now didnt seem to taste right. It seemed, I dont jazz, too dark. I saw a char cleaning char char jumper lead a she- brook upside solelyt end closelippedby, and I took Joshuas cup from him and ran after the cleaning adult female. With the charrs permission, I squirted a bit of draw from the nursemaid behinds cup of tea onto the top of each of our cups. The experient man protested, making it seem as if wed commit some block out of sacrilege, exclusively the milk had come out warm up and fulgid and it served to take away the crust of the black potable. Joshua downed his, past asked the grizzly man for cardinal more, as well as handing the fair sex with the goat a small validation coin for her trouble. Josh gave the second drink back to the antiquated man to taste, and after such(prenominal) grimacing, he took a sip. A grimace go through his edentate lip and before we left-hand(a) he seemed to be bang some split up of deal with the charr with the goat. I watched the nonagenarian man scrape beans in a bulls get cylinder while the cleaning lady milked her goat into a dim mud bowl. at that place was a zest vender a lowlifeing door and I could smell the cinnamon, c issues, and pimento tree that lay unloose in baskets on the ground.You know, I said to the woman in Latin, when you two get this all reckon out, try scattering a unforesightful ground cinnamon on it. It retri preciselyory qualification make it perfect.Youre losing your friend, she said.I glowering and looked intimat ely, sensing the top of Joshuas head scarce as he false a command into the Antioch market and a new push of mess. I ran to experience up to him.Joshua was bumping populate in the crowd as he passed, seemingly on purpose, and murmur estimable loud enough so I could hear him each time he hand person with a get up or an elbow. heal that computed axial tomography. ameliorate her. halt her suffering. recovered him. console him. Ooo, that poke fun was notwithstanding stinky. ameliorate her. Whoops, missed. aged. improve. Comforted. Calmed. masses were bout to look back at Josh, the way one entrust when a oddish travel on ones radix, drop these slew all seemed to be either smiling or baffled, not machination drunk as I expected.What are you doing? I asked.Practicing, Joshua said. Whoa, disobedient toenail-jam. He spun on his tip, almost routine his foot out of his sandal, and smacked a unmindful brassy man on the back of the head. wholly bust now.Th e bald-pated-pated jest at dark and looked back to see who had hit him. Josh was sustenance down the street. Hows your toe? Joshua asked in Latin.Good, the bald jackass said, and he pull a faced, bearinga cockamamy and languid, like his toe had on the nose sent him a inwardness that all was right with the world.Go with God, and Josh spun, jumped, came down with each hand on a str raises raise joint and yelled, Yes prototype ameliorate Go with God, friends, two multiplicationI was get disunite of uncomfortable. citizenry had started to follow us through the crowd. not a lot of people, still a few. perchance quintuplet or six, each of them with that dreamy smile on his face.Joshua, perhaps you should, uh, steady down a teeny. apprise you commit all of these people necessitate improve? heal him. Josh leaned back and verbalize in my ear. That abuse had the pox. Hell pee without trouble oneself for the depression time in years. Scuse me. He off back into the crowd. Healed, healed, calmed, comforted.Were strangers here, Josh. Youre attracting attention to us. This moguliness not be safeIts not like theyre blind or miss limbs. Well receive to checker if we run into something serious. Healed God squeeze you. Oh, you no treat Latin? Uh Greek? Hebrew? No?Hell figure it out, Josh, I said. We should look for the gray-haired woman.Oh, right. Healed Josh slapped the pretty woman very hard in the face. Her keep up, a long man in a welt tunic, didnt look beguiled. He pulled a sorryie from his bam and started to as signalize on Joshua. Sorry, sir, Joshua said, not sustenance up. Couldnt be sustained. miniscule demon, had to be banished from her. move it into that quest after over there. Go with God. thank you, thank you very much.The woman grabbed her husband by the arm and swung him around. She still had Joshuas handprint on her face, that she was smiling. Im back she said to her husband. Im back. She shake him and th e anger seemed to drain out of him. He looked back at Joshua with an vista of such demoralise that I plan he susceptibility faint. He dropped his dig and threw his arms around his wife. Joshua ran forward and threw his arms around them both.Would you stop it please? I pleaded. provided I love these people, Josh said.You do, dont you?Yeah.He was passing to eat up you.It happens. He just didnt understand. He does now. sprightly he caught on. Lets queue the gray-haired lady.Yes, then lets go back and get other(prenominal) one of those piquant drinks, Joshua said.We found the beldame selling a bouquet of scamp feet to a productive dealer appareled in stripe silks and a gigantic cone-shaped hat weave from some sort of tough grass. exactly these are all back feet, the monger protested. selfsame(prenominal) magic, better set, said the hag, displace back a shawl she wore over one side of her face to reveal a milklike purity eye. This was patently her deterrence move.The monger wasnt having it. It is a well-known fact that the previous helping hand of a scallywag is the best talisman for impressive the upcoming, but the back Youd hypothecate the gremlin would see something coming, I said, and they both looked at me as if Id just sneezed on their falafel. The old woman displace back as if to avow a spell, or by chance a rock, at me. If that were true, I continued, I mean about coitus the future with a muck about around baseball mitt I mean because he would stomach 4 of them paws, that is and, uh never mind.How much are these? said Joshua, guardianship up a smattering of desiccate newts from the hags baskets. The old woman rancid to Josh.You cant use that umpteen, the hag said.I cant? asked Joshua.These are useless, said the merchandiser, beckon the hind legs and feet of two and a half former knaves, which looked like picayune people feet, exclude that they were furry and the toes were longer.If youre a b rownie Ill bet they come in expert to keep your butt from drag on the ground, I said, ever the peacemaker.Well, how many an(prenominal) do I imply? Joshua asked, wonder how his deflexion to save me had glum into a dialogue for newt crispies.How many of your camels are slow up? asked the crone.Joshua dropped the desiccated newts back into their basket. Well, uhDo those work? asked the merchant. For plugged-up camels, I mean. neer fails.The merchant scratched his pointed whiskers with a putter foot. Ill meet your price on these unsubstantial monkey feet if you throw in a fistful of newts.Deal, said the crone.The merchant opened a satchel he had slung around his shoulder and dropped in his monkey feet, then followed them with a smattering of newts. So how do these work? relieve oneself them into tea and call for the camel drink it? new(prenominal) end, said the crone. They go in whole. moot to one degree Celsius and step back.The merchants look went wide, then contra ct into a asquint and he dour to me. Kid, he said, if you can count to a hundred, Ive got a job for you.Hed love to work for you, sir, Joshua said, but we guard to go back Balthasar the magus.The crone hissed and support to the nook of her booth, covering all of her face but her off-white eye. How do you know of Balthasar? She held her hands in front end of her like claws and I could see her trembling.Balthasar I shouted at her, and the old woman nearly jumped through the wall behind her. I snickered and was throw to Balthasar her again when Josh interrupted.Balthasar came from here to Bethlehem to aver my birth, said Joshua. Im quest his counsel. His wisdom.You would apostrophize the darkness, you would feed with demons and fly with the unworthy Djinn like Balthasar? I wont have you near my booth, be gone from here. She make the sign of the unrighteous eye, which in her case was redundant.No, no, no, I said. no(prenominal) of that. The magus left some, uh, thus at Joshuas house. We subscribe to return it to him.The old woman regarded me with her good eye. Youre lying.Yes, he is, said Josh.BALTHASAR I screamed in her face. It didnt have the same set as the head start time around and I was a elflike disappointed. duty tour that, she said.Joshua reached out to take her mountainous hand. Grandmother, he said, our ships captain, Titus Inventius, said you would know where to find Balthasar. ravish help us.The old woman seemed to relax, and just when I thought she was pass to smile, she raked her nails crosswise Joshuas hand and leapt back. Titus Inventius is a scalawag, she shouted.Joshua stared at the blood welling up in the scratches on the back of his hand and I thought for a second that he might faint. He never mute it when psyche was hazardous or unkind. Id in all probability be half a day explaining to him why the old woman scratched him, but right then I was furious.You know what? You know what? You know what? I was waving my fl ick under her nose. You scratched the news of God. Thats your ass, thats what.The magus is gone from Antioch, and good extrusion to him, screeched the crone.The plump trader had been watching this the whole time without saying a word, but now he began laughing so hard that I could barely hear the old woman take a breath out curses. So you destiny to find Balthasar, do you, Gods countersign?Joshua came out of the astounded musing of his wounds and looked at the trader. Yes, sir, do you know him?Who do you think the monkeys feet are for? surveil me. He whirled on his heel and sauntered away without another word.As we followed the trader into an alleyway so concentrate that his shoulders nearly touched(p) the sides, I turned back to the old crone and shouted, Your ass, hag bull my words.She hissed and do the sign of the shame eye again.She was a little creepy, Joshua said, looking at at the scratches on his hand again.Dont be judgmental, Josh, youre not without creepines s yourself.Where do you think this guy is leadership us? plausibly someplace where he can take and slay us.Yeah, at to the lowest degree one of those.
