in solid with them. I have too many irons in the fire to not get burned
eventually, but for now I'm golden here.
There's your answer then, superstar.
Don't make me guess. Rayford's in the air.
Just ask them.
Come again?
Go straight to Leon, tell him it's none of your business but you've been
noodling the plane crash news, you've always admired his insight and wisdom
and street smarts" know the drill. Suggest that maybe that plane crash
you
wasn't all it appeared, and say you want his take on it.
Annie, you're a genius.
FIFTEEN
You want to see my projects, Cameron? Chaim Rosenzweig said. That would
make you happy, make you feel like more of a friend?
It would.
Promise you won't think me batty, an old eccentric as my house staff does.
Buck followed him, realizing that regardless how Chaim appeared to the
brothers and sisters in the house, he was aware of everything.
Rayford found the Turtles an all-American couple who had lost all four of
their grown sons in the Rapture. Did we ever miss it, Dwayne said in the
Super J, streaking across the eastern U.S. Oldest boy goes off to college,
gets religion we think. Doesn't seem to hurt him any, 'cept he starts in on
the other three and before you know it, baby brother's goin' to church. That's
OK, but we figure it's just little brother/big brother hero worship, know what
I mean?
Then the middle boys get invited to some church deal they probably wouldn't
have gone to if their brothers hadn't already been Christians. They get asked
to play on the church basketball team, go off to a week of camp, and come back
saved. Man, I
hated that word, and they used it all the time. I got saved, he got saved, she
got saved, you need to be saved. I loved those boys like everything, but"

Dwayne had gone from his rapid-fire delivery to choked up so fast Rayford
hadn't seen it coming. Now the big man spoke in a little voice, fighting the
sobs. Trudy reached from the seat behind his and laid a hand on his shoulder.
I loved those boys, he squeaked, and I didn't have a bit of a problem with
'em all wantin' to be religious, I really didn't. Did I, Tru?
They loved you, Dwayne, she drawled. You never gave them a hard time.
But they gave me a hard time, see? They were never mean, but they were pushy.
I
told 'em it was all right with me, 'slong as they didn't expect me to start
goin' to church with 'em. Had enough of that as a kid, never liked it, bad
memories. Their type a church was better, they said. I says fine, you go on
then but leave me out of it. They told me their mom's soul was on my head.
That got me mad, but how do
you stay mad at your own flesh and blood when, even if they're wrong, they're
worried about their mom's and dad's souls?
Rayford shook his head. You don't.
You sure don't. They kep' after me. They got their stubbornness from me,
after all.
But I was good at it too. And I never caved. Tru almost did, didn't ya, hon?

Wish I had.
Me too, sweetie. We wouldn't a met Mr. Steele here till heaven, but I'd just
as soon be there than here even now, all things considered. You too there,
Cap?
Me too, Dwayne.
You can guess the rest. Before we ever go to church one time, the thing they
told us might happen happened. They were gone. We were left. So where'd we go
first?
Church.
Church! Not so stubborn now, are we? Doesn't sound so lame to be saved now,
does it? Hardly anybody left at that place, but all we needed was one who knew
how a person gets saved. Mr. Steele, I'm an actor myself. Well, aircraft
salesman and demonstrator, but always actin' on the side since college.
Specialize in voices.
Mac told me about your Aussie.
There, right, like 'at. He liked that, did he?
I don't know that he was feeling good enough to appreciate it, but he's sure
you fooled Fortunato.
A deaf turtle could fool 'at boy, Rafe. You don't mind if I call you Rafe, do
ya? I
like to find shortcuts so I can get more words in in a shorter time. Just
kiddin', but you don't mind, do ya?
My first wife called me that. She was raptured.
Then maybe you'd rather I not"

No, it's all right.
Anyway, Rafe, I'm a gregarious guy" guess you figured. Salesman has to be.
I
But I
always put all of my theater training into it. I was known as a
straightforward, opinionated guy, and people pretty much liked me. Unless they
was too sophisticated. If they was, I'd use the word was where I'm s'posed to
use were, like I
just did there, and tweak 'em to death. So, I'm this friendly, confident,
outgoing guy who"

Loud is the word you're lookin' for there, hon, Trudy said.
Dwayne laughed as if at the first joke he'd ever heard. OK, Tru, all right
then, I'm this loud guy. But you gotta admit I was a people magnet. Only I
wasn't a church guy, OK. Well, now all of a sudden, I am. I'm saved. I'm a day
late and a dollar short, but I'm learnin' that it still counts. We're still
gonna suffer, and we're never
going to wish we hadn't got saved earlier" kid yerself" all right,
don't but
we're saved.
So, now I'm still this gregar"

Loud.
" guy but I got a whole new bee in my bonnet now. I'm knockin' people over
loud
with it. Even our pastor says sometimes he wonders if I don't turn people off
rather than wooin' 'em" wooin' 'em to Jesus. I [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
