----------------------------------------------------------------------Year 2 A.S. MaySix months laterThere was more on the news about the hunt in Wyom...ng for one of fugitiveleaders of the Church of the Blessed. He had been sighted just after NewYear's Day. Now that most people had passed through the first year afterthe Shift there had been a general consensus that the year needed to bemarked as beginning on its anniversary from now on. For the first timein millennia all over the world the year. "Jim!" cried Julie as she ran to me. "I'm so glad you came back! I was just getting ready to call you, much as I hated to be the first to give in. I still don't know what I did to upset you so much, but I'm sure we can work it out. I really missed you a lot, Darling. I love you so much!"I mumbled a few trite sounding words of apology and carried my bag to the bedroom and unpacked my clothes. While I was doing that, I heard the phone ring and Julie answer it. A few minutes later Julie stepped. C. then the New Jersey turnpike and onto Maryland. I still had a- little money on me from my ill adventure to the convenience store so we got some gas, Micky D's, cigarettes etc.The only thing lacking was some booze for the guys, as I don't drink, not that I am a teetotaler, I just can't. And some CD's for me to listen to in the car. The person we stole the car from had only some rap shit, we threw those out the window miles before and all we could get on the radio was country music and after. We drove up to a dark but rather large building with windows that coveredthe whole front of it. Along the those windows were a row of treadmills anda few stair machines. Dad and I walked up to the door, unlocked it but thenre-locked it once we were inside. He then ran across the gym to the beepingsecurity system pad, punched in the code and we were in. I found the lightswitches behind the front desk and started to flip them on as dad walkedbehind me and booted up the computers."Could you do me.
