God could no longer see the faces of the men, only red and orange hazes. He heard taunting voices in his mind spurring him on, calling him a “pussy, ” and old, hairy hands reaching out to grab him. His gripped tightened on the punk’s neck and he cocked his right arm back ready to do some serious damage.“ Let him go.” God shook his head at the familiar deep voice.“ I said, let him go now! ” He felt two strong hands land on his shoulders and heat seeped its way into him from behind.“ Put him down, God. Right now before you kill him. Listen to my voice.” Day was up on his tiptoes speaking into his ear. His breath was hot on his neck and it gave him a tingling in his spine. “Cashel, stop, ” Day whispered. God put his right arm down and released the man from his grip. He didn’t wait to see the man’s body drop. He spun around and looked into his friend’s eyes, and was relieved when he didn’t see judgment, sorrow, or pity…all he saw was relief and then concern. Day grabbed him and held on to him tightly. His embrace was strong and confident…exactly what God needed to feel right then.“ Come on, we gotta get out of here.” Day gripped the back of his arm and moved them quickly out of the alley and into a waiting taxi.“ Wait…my truck.”“ It’s taken care of.” Day kept him from getting out of the vehicle.“ What do you mean?”“ I mean you owe me two hundred dollars because that’s what I just paid the bartender to follow us back to my place in your truck.” God spun around and saw his huge truck’s headlights behind them.“ You have a stranger driving my truck…my fucking guns are in there, Leo.”“You should’ve thought about that earlier, Cash, ” Day growled right back.“ If you’re going to lecture me, Leo…fucking save it.” God slid down farther and let his aching head rest on the back of the seat as the cab accelerated onto the highway.“ You know me better than that, Cash. I’m not going to lecture you. I’m going to kick your ass, ” Day said matter-of-factly and turned to look out the window. Neither one said anything else the rest of the ride. A.E. Via
