Bfdi Nickel

Cahill

I could hear the din from the bar as I exited my SUV and I was still almost a block away. What a shame! I knew from long experience that would change as soon as my foot crossed the threshold. I tend to have that effect on people. I’m six feet six inches tall and I weigh an even 250 pounds—all of it broad shouldered muscle. My Body Mass Index at my last physical was less than four percent. My light brown hair is styled exactly the way it’s been for the past fifteen years—ever since I first joined the Navy. Sure enough, no sooner had I taken my first step into the bar than the noise died. When I turned left and stepped up to the bar the people there couldn’t back away fast enough. I took a stool in the middle of the empty space and sat down, waiting for the bartender to approach. “I’m not looking for any trouble.” “Good…neither am I. Give me a ginger ale.” He reached under the bar for a glass and some ice. Twenty seconds later he slid the glass in my direction. I pulled a fiver from my pocket and dropped it on the bar. He ignored it and walked away to draw a few beers and pour some wine. It looked to me like this was a pretty cheap crowd. Checking up and down the bar all I could see were longnecks and drafts. I reached into the lower left pocket of my cargo pants. Like almost everything else I was wearing they were a true deep navy blue. My heavy shoes were black as was my wide belt. My belt said as much about me as the bold white lettering across my chest. Just below the American flag over my heart were the letters that were my life—U. S. MARSHAL. On my right hip was my nickel plated .44 Magnum Colt Python, just behind two speed loaders in addition to the twenty-four rounds on the belt. On my left hip was my ASP Talon baton—every bit as deadly a weapon in my hands as the revolver. A pouch at the back of my right hip held my stainless steel handcuffs and its partner on the opposite side held my radio—my link to my backup team. I placed the photo flat on the bar as the bartender returned to me. “I’ll have another,” I said in a loud voice, continuing so I wouldn’t be overheard. “Don’t pick it up and don’t make a production of looking at it. I’ve been told that he comes here a lot. Is he here tonight? If he is and he escapes because you’ve given me away I’ll see to it that you’re arrested for obstruction of justice.” He gulped a few times but did as he was told, nodding slightly in response. I continued almost at a whisper. “If my nose is pointing to twelve o’clock, my right ear to three, the back of my head to six, and my left ear to nine, tell me where he is. Again, don’t point or do anything obvious and we’ll be fine.” He pretended to wipe the bar as he whispered, “About 4:30 with his back to you.” I picked up the reflection in the mirror then asked, “Red shirt with black and white stripes, looking away from me?” He nodded again. Now, in my normal tone of voice I asked, “Where’s the men’s room?”

Real Africa

African Africa Africa... A call to Africa, Africa leaders must walk up from slumber..see the future from the beginning that is what they say a vision,they look so much on western countries... Africa has got everything, Africa is the food basket for the whole world.. but the white man has blinded Africa They come in the name of humanitarian, support, donations but yet they looking for our riches and enrich them selves,then we go back again to them to beg God is good always...he makes ways where seems to be no way...He will make a way for Africa... whatever plans the enemies has on Africa,God will make a way of escape and turn them into good.. That is why those who makes it in Africa,are those who have gone outside the country,see how it is done in the western countries,then come back and implement it...the billionaire you hear in Africa.. are those who maybe have stayed for some time in the USA. That's great... I love Africa...in our country Zambia .. we have gold,emerodes, diamond,copper, zinc, coal and just now.. Zambia has opened the new biggest nickel mining in Africa...but all those things even if we boast that we have them...they are still controls by the western... Africa must wake up..and stand on it's own... That's why the western they know that the moment Africa becomes United...then they are cut off from our minirals..so they make decisions for us, that are there to divide us..and pent a bad picture about Africa...they give us a Bible which they don't even follow, I pray that one day I can travel out... See how it is done... Then come back and change the face of Africa...I pray that always, people are suffering in Africa, those with vision are not given chances to express them selves...
