It took me several moments to have my eyes adjust to see Kim sitting at our old favorite booth. She was wearing the bright yellow sundress that I had ...oved on her.I walked slowly to the booth and slid in opposite her. "OK Kim, this is your meeting." I put up my hand and got the bartender's attention. I made a motion with my hand to show I wanted two-fingers of Maker's Mark. He nodded and brought the drink to the table."Nice seeing you two again!" he said as he set the drink down."Nice seeing. I had become a boring person. I would just have to wait until something lit my spark again, I couldn't do it myself. Little did I know just how soon that would be. It was Friday evening and I had just gotten home from work when I heard a knock at my front door."Who is it?" I called out from behind my door.When I heard a deep voice answer, "Abdul," my heart stopped beating. My only thoughts were of the brothers; they had come to get me and hurt me again. The monsters that almost killed me were. They were supposed to have armed men standing just outside the door, but Joe wasn't acting at all like that worried him. They held their peace, though. It wouldn't be of much value to have armed men pouring into the room, if the guy they were supposed to protect was already dead."Now, to get back to business. You heard Paul, and you heard Father Nicholas. You know how things are going to be on our colony worlds, and on the ones Paul described."In order to meet the Pope's mandate my guys are. I’m not sure I’d know where to start. No, thanks, like I said, it’s a great offer, but I’m just not that good.” “Sandy I saw the look in your eyes when you took me on that tour. You love that place as much as I do, you have experience, training, I can’t think of anyone I would rather have. Maybe we could even work on it together. Please, at least think about it. It could be fun for both of us.” Sandy promised to think about. We talked just a little while longer but it was getting late and we.
