Fanis the bodyguard Episode 5 The new "Lie Filled Document"

                Kera and Fanis are both multilingual and living in London, England.  Fanis is Kera’s bodyguard as she travels the world dealing in Chinese antiques.  They are 2^nd cousins that have trust issues with everyone.  Although this includes each other, Fanis is the closest person Kera trusts not to betray her.  Kera is very liberal and Fanis is a far-right conservative and the former often baits the latter into debates.

                Fanis received a phone call and he answers it.  The caller starts the conversation in Greek.  Fanis and Kera are 2^nd generation Greek-Americans and both are fluent.  The caller is also a Greek American that has gained notoriety the last couple of years for reasons he wished he was not known for.  The caller says, “Hey Fanis, it’s George”

                “Hi George, how are you doing?”

                “Not well.  Jim Comey is writing an op-ed that’s going to have people asking me a lot of questions so I want to just get away for a bit.  Do you mind if I come visit?”

                “Not at all, but you do realize Kera and I are going to be asking you the same questions you are trying to avoid.”

                “Better two than countless”

                Fanis considered this a moment and admitted, “That’s true.”

                George Papadopoulos flew to London and arranged dinner with Kera and Fanis.  By the time he landed, both of them had read Comey’s op-ed piece in the Washington Post.  When they sat for dinner, Kera said, “Well, you two must be happy now that England’s Brexit party picked up 30 seats.”

                Fanis opined, “Best performance by a new political party in history.  Similar right-wing parties won in Italy and France too.”

                George chimed in, “It looks like the world is reacting to the vile despicable things the left is doing to the world.”
                Kera sighed and uttered, “Why do I think this is just going to be you guys ganging up on me?”

                Fanis rebutted, “Because we are.” With a smile

                Kera countered, “It’s just EU elections.  It doesn’t mean anything.”

                Fanis said, “Alright, enough with appetizers, let’s talk about Comey.”

                George looked at his watch and uttered sarcastically, “Look at that, we got through like five minutes.”

                Fanis responded with mock seriousness, “I know, the suspense was killing me.”

                Kera giggled and George smiled.  Kera harangued, “Why don’t we be fair to your guest.  Fanis and I will debate and you just chime in if we misspeak or if you want to add something.”

                George glared at Kera and cried out, “You can’t honestly say you’re defending this piece of shit are you?”

                Fanis commented, “He is an awful human being.”

                Kera said, “Well, he only wrote it because Bill Barr is going to declassify things to make him look bad.  He needs to defend himself.”

                “Precisely, he knows he’s about to get caught” countered Fanis.

                “Look, it’s called ‘no treason, no coup just lies and dumb lies at that’ he’s just saying that Trump is overreacting using words like ‘treason’ and ‘coup’”

                “This is a common problem with Comey.  He uses slight of hand in his speech to make it seem like he’s saying one thing but really he actually said another.  Lawyers do it all the time.  Luckily you have me to translate.  When he says ‘no treason, no coup’ he makes a statement.  Then he says, ‘just lies and dumb lies at that’ he’s not talking about Trump, he’s talking about himself.  He told the lies and dumb lies at that but the lie is that it isn’t treasonous or a coup.” Fanis retorted.

                Kera gave him a dirty look and declared, “Okay, that’s ridiculous.  Let’s just get into specifics.  What did he say that was a lie?”

                “He says that ‘Trump official knew about the e-mail hacks and leaks seven weeks before they did and it describes the Russian effort to influence the campaign. Well we have the person he’s talking about at our table.  The big problem with this of course is that the e-mails that Mifsud told our friend George here about was not the Russian effort to disrupt the elections.  Those e-mails were about Hillary’s e-mails.  The Russian effort e-mails were the DNC hacked e-mails.   Comey mentioned that Wikileaks leaked them but, again, those were the DNC e-mails not the Hillary e-mails.”

                “Maybe Comey didn’t know that” suggested Kera

                “He’s the FBI director.  If I know that, you don’t think he does?”

                George chimed in, “Let’s not forget that when he said that I told him I don’t know what he’s talking about and I wanted to end the conversation.  They always conveniently leave that part out.”

                Kera said, “Alright well he could have misspoke.  Go on.”

                Fanis continues, “Comey said that George talked to a Russian agent here in London.  Obviously  we’re talking about Mifsud.  Mifsud had dirt on Hillary but nobody from the Trump campaign told him about, they had to hear it from a friendly diplomat.  In this case, Australian Alexander Downer.”

                Kera pronounced, “Well, they did hear it from him”

                Fanis retored, “No they didn’t. Downer said they never talked about dirt on Hillary.  He denied they were drunk.  He just said damaging information and again, George didn’t want to hear any of it.  He said he didn’t know what they were talking about and never mentioned Mifsud or anything Mifsud told him.”

                Kera turned to George and said, “And if you had, they would have arrested you.  You sniffed out the entrapment campaign.  Good job.  But, just to play Devil’s Advocate, Mueller did say that Mifsud had Russian ties”

                Fanis said, “Exactly, even Mueller doesn’t say he was a Russian asset.  You’re making my point.  Mueller disagrees with Comey.  Both are wrong anyway because if you Google ‘Mifsud’ he’s photographed with a lot of Western intelligence assets.”

                George opined, “Don’t forget that when he says nobody from the Trump campaign told them it’s because I didn’t tell the Trump campaign.  I knew they were full of it so it wasn’t even worth repeating.  They wanted me to tell the campaign, I didn’t.  I did, however, tell the FBI that I thought Downer was spying on me.  Thus, the only reason they spoke to him was because of me.”

                Fanis glared at George and replied, “Not exactly.  They sent him to set you up so they already knew about him.  Since they sent him after you, they asked him what you said.  That’s how they talked to him.  They would have spoken to him regardless if you told the FBI or not.”

                “I know but you get my point.”

                “I do, the things they leave out is a travesty.  They also said they didn’t know about it until late July but that’s a lie too because FBI agent Gaeda came here on July 5 to meet with Steele.”

                George pronounced, “And Halper arranged all those dinners and meetings in mid-July”

                Kera challenged, “There has to be some part of it that’s true”

                George and Fanis shook their head and looked at each other and George uttered, “You know, I’m not sure if one sentence is true”

                Fanis mocked, “Let’s keep going maybe we’ll find one true sentence.”

                Kera rolled her eyes.  She gets to the next part and says, “Well, this part he’s just whining. ‘what should we have done?  Tell the Trump campaign, leak to the media? Let it Go?  No.  Boo hoo, quit whining.”
                Fanis finger rose in the air.  He shouted out, “Yes, we found one.  He didn’t let it go.  That is true!”
                George laughed and said, “He didn’t tell the Trump campaign either.”

                Fanis waved his finger and declared, “Ah yes, but remember the first part about what he should have done.  Although it’s true he didn’t, it is a lie that he shouldn’t have.  I mean, when they found out there was a Chinese spy in Diane Feinstein’s camp, they warned her and told him about it so she could fire him.  That is what you’re supposed to do.  So, it’s only half true.”

                Kera uttered, “It says he should investigate, he did.”

                Fanis countered, “The wrong people.  He investigated Trump and the campaign.  He should have investigated the source and the Russians and try to verify the information.”

                Kera came back with, “Yea but they didn’t leak it to the press.”

                George and Fanis cried out at the same time, “Yes they did.”

                Fanis pulled out his phone and showed her a New York Times article less than a week before the election that said the FBI thinks Russians infiltrated Trump’s campaign and spoke, “See, he did tell the press.  I mean the media was all over this shit.”

                George grinned and rejoined, “Put a pin in that.  It’ll become useful later in the article.”

                Kera sighed and kept reading.  She put down her phone after reading, “We don’t want to smear Americans.”

                Fanis laughed hard and Kera giggled.  She stated in exasperation, “Okay, this one I can’t even defend I mean he charged you George and Carter Page with process crimes.  He basically couldn’t shut up about Trump.”

                Fanis articulated, “And he leaked all that to David Corn at Mother Jones”

                George said, “And he stated that he didn’t know if Trump was a Russian asset or not.”

                Fanis piled on, “And described Carter Page’s help on the Biekov case or whatever his name was to charge and imprison Russians was him colluding with them.”

                Kera added, “And you just showed me the 11/1/16 Times piece about “Final October Surprises reveal FBI is probing Trump’s alleged ties’ so how can he say this is a secret?”

                Fanis opined, “Because people have no memories.  After two and a half years most people forget that the Trump –Russia stuff happened before the election.”

                Kera queried, “Why though?  What’s the reasoning for saying something that can so easily be refuted?”

                Fanis answered, “Because that is the new leftist talking memo and Comey has to be their little bitch and say anything that supports the angle they want to go with; regardless of how ridiculous it is.   Clearly since we only found one sentence that was true so far.”

                Kera replied, “What is the talking point exactly?”

                George responded, “That the Hillary investigation hurt Hillary because it was before the election but they kept the Trump investigation secret so it helped him.”

                Fanis blurted out, “Which is bullshit because they closed the Hillary investigation before the election but not the Trump one.”

                Kera said, “Alright, let’s move on.  We are in agreement that this is ridiculous.”  She kept reading and giddily declared, “I found another one.  ‘we didn’t gather information about the campaign strategy.’”

                Fanis cringed his eyes and rejoined, “So what?  You tried to undermine the campaign and make him lose.  Who cares about strategy?  He sabotaged it.”

                George suggested, “Keep reading”

                Fanis picked up on it and declared, “’We investigated?’ ‘We didn’t spy on anyone’s campaign?’  ‘Carter Page wasn’t part of the campaign?’  Does he think we don’t know what the 2-hop rule is?”

                Kera shot Fanis a dirty look and came back with, “Not many people know what the 2-hop rule is.”

                Fanis explained, “Carter Page was in contact with the campaign still.  They can see all his e-mails.  Then they can see who the people he e-mailed e-mailed.  This two degree of separation links you to the whole campaign.  And, just for shits and giggles, it doesn’t have to be going forward, it can be past e-mails too!”

                George chimed in, “Don’t forget Stephen Halper was sent by Brennan to get all buddy buddy with me, Sam Clovis and Carter Page.”

                Fanis added on, “Yea, and then they sent Azra Turk to seduce you so you would spill all the goods for that hot piece of ass.”

                Kera glared at Fanis and reprimanded, “Really?!”

                Fanis had a guilty look on his face but retorted, “What? You’re my cousin what do you care?”

                George uttered, “I guess we found another truthful thing.  He says the FBI wasn’t sent to spy.  The CIA was sent to spy not the FBI.”

                Kera opined, “Even I have to admit that three sentences in a very long op-ed isn’t too impressive.  Let’s keep going though.  She read, “Late October, investigators thought they had probable cause to get a FISA on Carter Page.”

                George challenged, “Like the probable cause I got arrested at Dulles for at 2AM?”

                Fanis gleamed and said, “Do I have to even comment on this?”

                Kera responded, “No, we know that the Steele information and the dossier weren’t verified.  What do you need in a FISA anyway?”

                George opined, “To tell the truth and not leave out exculpatory information.”

                Kera giggled and shot back, “Besides that.”

                George nodded but Fanis explained, “You need two pieces.  Both need to be true it’s not either or.  The first is that a US citizen is acting on behalf of a foreign agent.  AND they are acting with a foreign agent in violation of US Law.”

                Kera pondered this and decided, “First one is a stretch but definitely not the second one.”

                George declared, “They fail on both accounts.  Probable cause required verified information.  Nothing was verified.”

                Fanis pounced on, “Kavalec memos means the FBI already knew that some of Steele’s information were lies and his sources were Russian disinformation artists.  We know Carter Page was still in communication with Trump campaign but it doesn’t matter because we can get past e-mails.”

                Kera chimed in, “And he went with that court ordered line.”

                Fanis cried out, “Which we know is retarded because he makes it seem like the court told him to investigate. That’s not how it works.  You go to the court and present information.  The court doesn’t verify it they make you swear what you say is true.  They don’t investigate.  If you lie it’s on you.”

                Kera conceded, “Fine, almost this entire thing is a lie.  It really is a piece of garbage.  I hate Trump but this is really worthless and even I can’t defend it.”

                George and Fanis beamed with delight and raised their arms simultaneously.  Fanis yelled out, “Victory is mine.”

                Kera nodded and fired back with, “Well, a new study talks about increased anti-Semitic attacks by right wingers.”

                Fanis nodded and suggested, “Keep reading.  One, listen to Democrats and listen to Conservatives.  Which one is pro-Israel?”

                George chimed in, “Who moved the US embassy to Jerusalem again?”

                Kera got to the part Fanis was referring to and let out a guttural groan.  Fanis smirked and asked, “Did you find it?”

                Kera narrowed her eyes staring a hole through her cousin and quoted the piece, “If the data didn’t specify who the perpetrators were, we assumed it was a right wing person.”

                Fanis sarcastically stated, “Oh yea, that seems fair.”

                George suggested, “Alright, we had our fun. Now can we talk about other topics?”

                Kera cried out, “Please.”

                They talked about other topics and the dinner went on in a casual tone for a couple more hours.  After dinner, George went back to the hotel where his wife was sleeping off the long flight from LA.  Kera and Fanis returned to their home and Kera proposed that they watch the Mueller press conference together.

                Fanis inquired, “You’re really a glutton for punishment aren’t you?”

                Kera rolled her eyes and said, “Let’s just hear what he has to say.  Try to keep an open mind.”

                Fanis agreed and they watched the ten minute Mueller press conference.  When it was over Fanis sighed and muttered, “I think my bullshit tolerance has reached its peak for one day.”

                Kera pronounced, “Well his report speaks for itself so don’t bother asking him about it.  He’s not going to answer any questions.”

                Fanis blurted out, “He doesn’t want to be questioned by any Trump-friendly congressman about when he knew there was no collusion.  He just wanted to damage the presidency.  That’s the only purpose of his 35 million dollar probe.”

                Kera challenged, “Well the Russians did launch a social media campaign that influenced the election.”

                Fanis glared at her and retorted, “A couple Facebook messages can derail several commercials, rallies, social media posts by celebrities and non-celebrities alike, the media coverage, the interviews and everything else?  You think Facebook is that powerful that everything , including other people’s Facebook accounts, are defenseless against it?”

                Kera responded, “Well no but it was in the ICA?”

                Fanis shot back, “And whose fault is that?  Mark Zuckerberg?”  It was based on the dossier, which means it was salacious and unverified, Comey’s words not mine, and discredited several times most notably by Kavalec.”

                “So how did it get there?”

                “To hurt Trump!  Barak Obama wanted it there so they made it happen.”

                “Comey and Brennan are fighting over who told who to put it in there.”

                “Brennan did. He’s the CIA.  He’s Steele’s friend.  He was the puppetmaster with all this shit pulled here in London.”

                “So you think Comey is telling the truth?” Kera challenged accusatorily.

                “For once” Fanis came back with realizing what she was getting at.  He continued, “They wanted to set up a special counsel to do exactly what they did.  Mire Trump’s presidency with investigations.  In this case, a special council.”

                “Well if you’re right, then declassification will reveal all of this.”

                “Then the asshole brings up obstruction again.”

                “Yea and that Office of Legal Council rule that you can’t indict a sitting president.”

                “Barr asked him if that was why he didn’t make a call on obstruction and he said no.  Barr asked him three times and all three times Mueller denied it yet he still says it.  But I forgot, we can’t ask him anything, it’s all in the report.  He just wants to give the mainstream media a talking point.  This is sick.  This is really getting serious.  It’s dangerous and disgusting”

                “Well, it’s a good thing you’re in London?”

                “Why? The UK was implicit and participated in this heavily.  They’re just as culpable.”

                “Well good thing we travel a lot.”

                “I guess.  Then he talks about the constitutional remedy”

                Kera cheerily chimed in, “I mean what anti-Trump press conference would be complete without talking about impeachment?”

                “Seriously” Fanis admitted as he put his hand to his head and sighed in exasperation.

                Kera said, “I hope he does.  He’s just so arrogant.”

                “Not a high crime and misdemeanor to be arrogant.  I can only hope that it turns the country against the Democrats just like impeaching Clinton turned people against Republicans.  I can’t predict Americans anymore.  The fact that AOC has a following just shows how retarded our public is.”

                “And that 25% of them think that 9/11 was an inside job.”

                “Yea, I hope everything gets declassified and the Democrats don’t wiggle out of this.  I hope that Barr and Durham are just as ruthless as them and I hope a shitload of people go to jail for this.”

                “Don’t lie; you want them hanged for treason.”

                “Nobody hangs people anymore Kera” He shouted back

                “Fine, lethal injection” she fired back

                Fanis nodded and declared, “You know, I would be okay with it but it’s not going to happen.”

                With that, Kera changed the topic to other things.  It was a very frustrating day for both of them as the lies and audacity of Comey angered Fanis and Kera had to deal with being put in a position where it was difficult to defend her views and idealogy. 

 

 

Nouno the vigilante Episode 6 Protecting the Innocent Children

                Abby and Nouno were national vigilantes.  Nouno was highly trained in weapons and combat and Abby was able to use her feminine persuasion to get people to let their guard down.  Abby was attractive in a classical sense with shoulder length blond hair, skinny in all the right places but curvaceous in the right ones with a charming smile.  Nouno was 6’0” husky and bald.  Abby and Nouno worked remotely so they could still make ends meet while providing justice to people that the police force hesitated to prosecute due to the backlash it would cause from the leftist media and Democratic leaders.

                They technically lived in Phoenix, Arizona but since they were constantly on the road, it seemed like they lived in various hotels and Air BNB’s.  Despite this vigilantism, the authorities either seemed to turn a blind eye to them given their targets or simply didn’t know about them.  Despite that, they did everything they could to keep anonymity but now that recent gangs have found out about them, they were wary that they’d get the attention of law enforcement.  Their agreement was to just keep doing it until someone stopped them.  Abby did all the research on who the target was and she looked up and said, “Babe”

                “Yes my queen” Nouno responded

                “I got another case for us.”

                “Awesome, where to now?”

                “Pescadero, California.”

                “Well with a name like that, they better have good seafood.”

                Abby squinted her eyes and put up her arms as if to say ‘how is that relevant?’ but didn’t.  Instead she uttered, “Do you want to know what he did?”

                “Not really, I trust you but what’s his name?”

                “Francisco Nunez”

                “How old is he?  I mean we had to kill teenagers last time.”

                “Do you regret it?”

                “No, they were MS13 but I like it better when we kill people older than me.  It’s just the teenagers have a better chance of growing out of things than older people.  I know people don’t change but they grow and their interests change with them.”

                “Well you are pretty old” Abby chimed in sarcastically

                Abby was 26 and Nouno was 35 but Nouno constantly called himself old.  All he did was smile and Abby said, “He’s 47”

                “Oh good”

                “I want to tell you what he did.”

                “Okay”

                “He raped two girls for six years.”

                “Shit, there was a case like that in Ohio too.  I had a feeling that it wasn’t the only one.  Ugh, those victims lives are over, they’ll never get over this.”

                “Well, they got time to get over it and ‘grow out of it’ as you say.”

                “I was talking about interests not trauma”

                “Time heals all wounds and maybe therapy can help”

                “Not for this, besides it may be too late for them now.”

                “They’re 16”

                Nouno glared at her unbelievably and Abby sent back a charming smile as her grey eyes got wide.  Nouno questioned exasperatingly, “Now or when he started?”

                “Now” Abby said as she shook her head in a charming flirtatious manner

                “Yea, they’re fucked!  This piece of shit started raping them when they were 10?!  Damn, might as well kill them now before they get on our list down the road”

                Abby shook her head and got a confused expression on her face.  She cried out, “What?  No, they didn’t do anything wrong.”

                “I’m a psychology major, childhood trauma like this leads to serial killings.”

                “Not every time.  We don’t kill people because of what they might do.  We kill them for what they have done.”

                “But we can save a life potentially”

                “There’s no way we’ll know if we’re right…”Abby screamed out then lowered her voice and said sternly but reasonably, “Listen to me.  We are not going to kill these girls.  Didn’t you just say you don’t like killing teenagers?”

                “No, I said I prefer killing older people.”

                “So teenage MS13 killers you’d like to avoid killing but girls that have been raped for six years you want to kill because they might become killers.”

                “Look, you know I don’t kill women.  So, if you’re not on board then they live.”

                “Well thank God for that moral code you have.”

                “And for the record, I’d kill the teenage MS13 killers, as I have, and the victims.”

                “Excellent, this is why you don’t pick the targets.”

                Nouno just smiled.  Abby booked the flights and they were off to Pescadero. 

                Abby was a liberal and enjoyed ribbing Nouno who was a far right conservative.  She often baited him into political discussions to ease the tension she felt for what they were doing.  She stated, “Looks like Brennan isn’t your only problem as CIA director.  The new one Gina Haspel as well as FBI director Christopher Wray are withholding information from Barr”

                “That’s why the President gave his power to Barr.”

                “I don’t know they’re going to fight him on it.”

                “Then Trump should fire them.  They work for him not vice versa”

                “That’s obstruction of Justice”

                “No, what Haspel and Wray are doing are obstructing justice because they are obstructing the investigator from getting the information that the ultimate decider on what is classified and isn’t has said he is allowed to have.”

                Abby thought about this and realized that it was reasonable.  She was undeterred though and declared, “I don’t know.  I think there’s some things that we shouldn’t know about.  I mean this whole transparency thing is dangerous because, like you always say, ‘the person is smart the people are dumb.’”

                Nouno gave her an inquisitive look and pronounced, “You do realize that declassification doesn’t mean public disclosure right?  You can declassify something only to congress or only to the investigating team.”

                “I know that but the more people that know about our assets abroad, the more people can leak their identity and get them killed.”

                “Barr ran the CIA.  I think he knows how to not reveal the identities of people whose identities need to be kept secret.  What is it with you liberals?  When a Republican is president, leaks are patriotic and great but when a Democrat is president, leaks are dangerous and we must protect sources and methods.”

                “Trump is a Republican, he is president.”

                “What Barr is investigating happened when Obama was president.”

                They landed and got situated in their hotel.  Abby had tracked down Francisco’s location.  As always they canvassed the area and planned their strategy and cover up. 

                Late at night, Nouno picked the lock to Francesco’s house and walked in.  Abby remained outside just in case there was a resistance.  Nouno found the bedroom and injected Nunes while he was sleeping.  He texted Abby and she came in with plastic.  Nouno loaded Nunes in a closet while they worked to cover the bed in plastic.  When they were finished, they strapped Nunes down on the table and waited for him to wake up.  When he did, Nouno looked at Nunes who was disoriented and said, “Hi, I’m going to make you pay for what you did to those innocent girls.”

                “Yea, people always judge me.  I don’t understand, everyone finds little girls cute.  People want to fuck girls they find cute.  So why do I get in trouble for fucking two cute girls?”

                Nouno said, “The real definition of insanity is an exaggeration of a normal trait.  You just summed up why you have a psychiatric problem.  It is normal to think a 10-year-old is cute.  When you exaggerate that and treat them the way you would treat a 22-year-old girl you think is cute then you’re in the realm of psychosis.”

                “There’s a reason why there were four DSM IV”

                Nouno glared at him in shock, “You know about the list of psychiatric disorders?”

                “Yes, I’m well educated.”

                “Alright, well educated man, do you have any regrets?”

                “No but I understand what you think you need to do.”

                “Any last words?”

                “I’d like to have a final conversation.”

                Abby said, “You don’t deserve that you sick disgusting piece of shit.”

                Nunes said, “Women always get emotional about little kids.”

                Nouno uttered, “People normally get emotional when raping little kids is involved.”

                “Look at Svetlana Lokhova.  Still holding a grudge and suing Halper and three media outlets among others.”

                “In fairness to her, they did set her up.”

                “For what?”

                “She was at a dinner of her professor and they accused her of being a Russian spy.  She had lived in the UK for over a decade.  Her boyfriend picked her up from the dinner and everyone else in attendance said there was no flirtation between Flynn and Lokhova.  They just happened to be sitting at the same table.  Libel is a crime.”

                “She’s just jumping on to this investigation by Barr into the origins of the Trump collusion probe.  That dinner was in 2015.  Way before Trump was a candidate for president.”

                “You do realize that this isn’t a Trump problem right?  This is a larger problem of Democratic president from Bill Clinton to Barak Obama using the intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI and the IRS to target their opponents.  It’s an abuse of power.  The Lokhova story is when they did it to Mike Flynn who was the National Intelligence Advisor under President Obama.  He was targeted for openly criticizing the Iran deal.”

                “That does make sense since the dossier seems to be copied from a 2007 Wall Street Journal piece by the now owner of Fusion GPS who actually wrote the dossier with a little color from Christopher Steele.”

                ‘Yea, that’s what the CIA is really hiding.  How Obama used intelligence agencies and their foreign contacts to frame people.  Lokhova was collateral damage but now she is emboldened to fight back because we have a Republican president who’s not going to stand for it and take the high road.  He is going to punish the way Democrats punish.”

                “They will lose.  The Republicans don’t have what it takes to get down in the gutter where we Democrats live.  We will do any underhanded thing to win.  You won’t.  You have big R rights and a moral code.  We don’t .  You guys only win in superhero movies.  In the real world, morality holds you back from winning.  The media and the Democrats will do every slimy, revolting, back alley thing to make sure that those documents aren’t declassified.”

                “I actually agree with you.  Hopefully we are both proven wrong.”

                “I enjoyed this last talk.  You are a worthy debate opponent.”

                “Thank you.  Are you ready to die now?”

                “I am, as it seems you are a conservative that doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty and resorting to violence to get what you want and enforce your morality.  Just like Antifa.”

                “Nope, I don’t” as Nouno stabbed him in the major artery in the chest killing him instantly.

 Abby and Nouno wrapped the body and Nouno carried him to the trunk of their car.  They went to the crematorium they had already picked out and activated the machine.  They put Francesco in and left. Usually they stay but Abby insisted they search the house.  They went back and did so and Abby was right.  They found another little girl who they discovered was 12-years-old. 

Abby said, “Hi honey, what’s your name?”

“Gabriella”

“That’s a pretty name, I’m Abby”

“Thank you.  Hi Abby”

“We’re going to take you to the hospital now.”

Nouno said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea?”

“Why’s that?”

“This is California.  It was affected the most by ObamaCare”

“You mean the ObamaCare that made ER visits fewer and further between.”

“That’s a lie that the media told everyone.  The reality is that the average wait time in the ER in California is 336 minutes.  That’s 80 minutes more than the national average.”

“We have to help her.”

“I’m not saying don’t help her.  I’m saying that now that they’re extending health care to illegal immigrants, that number is only going to get worse.”

“Undocumented workers need care too.”

“It is economically impossible to have open borders and a welfare state at the same time.”

“Why?”

“Even if all 300 million people in the United States worked, they couldn’t pay for a billion people let alone 6 billion 700 million, which is the population of the rest of the world that could just come to California, get care and then leave.”

“So we wait, what’s the big deal?”

“It’s not just waiting for care, the amount of people who leave before being formally discharged is 57% higher now than before ObamaCare was put into place.”

“Why would ObamaCare have anything to do with wait times?”

“Besides the obvious that more people are going to doctors and hospitals so when the supply stays the same and the demand gets higher and you can’t increase the price, the only thing you can do is ration it.  In this case longer times.”

“Stop speaking hypothetically and abstractly.”

“When Medicaid expanded, the reimbursement payments to doctors went down.  This forced doctors to stop accepting new Medicaid patients.  Some people who were paying for health insurance before, were no longer paying it because they could get it with the expanded Medicaid.  That’s more people demanding doctors to treat them at a loss.  Insurance companies are charged so much for medical care because the medical profession needs to offset the money they lose from Medicaid patients with the ones who have real insurance.  More Medicaid patients, means more people turned away since doctors stop taking them because there’s too many people to treat at a loss.  So, since these people can’t see a doctor where do you think they go?”

Abby sighed, “The ER at a hospital.”

“Exactly”

Gabriella said, “So what am I supposed to do?”

Nouno said, “We’re taking you to the police station.  It’s their job to figure out what to do.”

Gabriella gave Abby a big hug and said, “Thanks for saving me from that monster.”

Abby glared at Nouno and grinned.  She said, “My pleasure sweetheart.  You are so adorable”

Gabriella hugged Nouno as well and Abby kept her gaze.  Nouno hugged back but not very affectionately.  They got in the car and they dropped her off a couple blocks from the police station and then drove off.  Abby said, “Why did you let her out here?”

“So the cops don’t see our car.  I mean the streets probably have cameras too but let’s not make it too easy for them.”

                “They will think we’re heroes for saving that little girl.”

                “That little demon can identify us.  She can tell them what we did.”

                “It was your idea to drop her off at the police station.”

                “I knew you wouldn’t be okay with me just leaving her at the house or doing what we should have done.”

                “It is one of our rules that we don’t kill witnesses.”

                “Not a witness, it’s a potential killer.”

                “Potential doesn’t equal actuality.”

                “We’ll see.  I had to take the lesser of two evils.  You would have insisted we stay in a waiting room with her for hours while she could scream out ‘help’ at any moment.  This way, she may be able to identify us but we don’t live here so maybe we’ll get away.”

                “You are so paranoid.  She thanked us.”

                “She’s evil”

                Abby just shook her head.  They went to the crematorium and disposed of the bones as they don’t burn.  They then left and went back to the hotel.  The next day they flew back to Arizona.  Abby said, “Babe, what is really bothering you?”

                “What do you mean?”

                “This paranoia about little kids being little serial killers.”

                “Well, you know the EU elections?”

                “Yes, you should be happy.  The conservatives won in France, Italy and England.”

                “Yea, but then what happened?”

                “I don’t know.”

                “Chris O’Brian of drudge report started going after Facebook saying they need to deplatform all conservatives because their message is getting out and it’s not acceptable for them to win free elections.  He wrote the piece as if Facebook tried and failed to stop them.  This is true but insinuating that it’s Facebook’s jobs to influence elections is wrong.  You also have financial institutions like JP Morgan Chase closing conservative leader’s bank accounts.  It’s like that asshole said on the table, the left is going fucking crazy and resorting to really low tactics to suppress free speech and punish all organizations that aid conservatives by doing their jobs.  I’m not saying Chase should give money to conservatives but not letting them open a bank account or keep one they have open?  This is getting serious.  It’s NAZI Germany and Fascist Italy shit.  If you didn’t Heil Hitler at a store, your store was vandalized and destroyed.  If you didn’t have the NAZI flag outside your place of business, it was vandalized and its customers and employees attacked.  Fascism didn’t have a flag but they did the same thing to stores not for being anti-Fascist but for being neutral.  Chris O’Brien is becoming the norm not the exception.  The fringe has hit mainstream and it’s fucking scary.”

 

                A couple days later, Abby turned on the news and saw Gabriella on TV.  She called in Nouno and said, “Come look at our girl.”

                Gabriella declared in a vulnerable pleading and whiny tone, “To the people that saved me from that bad bad man, please let me know who you are.  I don’t want to be put in a foster home.  You made me homeless and I need someone to take care of me.  If I go to a foster home, they’re going to make me see psychologists who are going to prod into my memories and make me relive all the horrible things that man did to me.  They think that I remember what you guys look like but it was dark, I really don’t but they don’t believe me and they want to put all this medicine in me and get psychologists to help me remember what you look like.  Please help me.  I’m in this predicament because of you.  You just left me at the police station.”

                Nouno shouted, “Actually, I left you on the fucking street where you belong bitch.”

                Abby’s mouth was gaped open.  She declared, “The lights were on in the house and in the car. She knows what we look like.  That little brat is threatening us.”

                “But she gave us such a sweet hug” Nouno decried sarcastically

                Abby sighed, “Pointing fingers isn’t going to help.” She muttered

                “Now what do we do?”

                “Help her.”

                “How?”

                “Do we know anyone that wants to adopt?”

                Nouno thought about it and said, “Fuck, yes we do.”

                “Yea, we have that teacher friend of ours.”

                “Yea, but how do we do this without exposing ourselves?”

                “Easy.  Have her go to California and we stay here.  Tell her not to mention our names and give vague information that the cops can’t identify us but the girl knows she knows us.”

                “That’s actually a good idea”

                Nouno called his friend and explained the situation.  The teacher said, “This is great, thank you.  I always wanted a little girl.  I have two boys and I didn’t want to go through pregnancy again.  This is perfect.”

                “Yea well when you enroll her in your school, you may want to arm yourself.”

                “That arming teachers shit is so extreme.  It’s a stupid idea.”

                “It’s already being done in 20 states.”

                “What if a kid just steals the gun from the teacher?”

                “In those 20 states, that has never happened.”

                “Guns go off by accident.”

                “That’s why they only allow teachers that already have concealed carry licenses since they’re more responsible.  Because of that, there’s only been one accidental discharge.  A teacher shot a toilet bowl by accident.  Shards of it flew off and hit her leg and she had minor injuries like a bruise.  That is the only case.”

                “If there’s guns in school, then there’s more likely someone gets killed.”

                “All but seven school shootings in history were done in gun-free zones.  There has never been a gun-related fatality in a school that had armed teachers.  NEVER”

                “It’s a small sample size.”

                “I’ll give you that, but the results from the small scale test are pretty fucking incredible!”

                “Schools don’t have a lot of money.  The insurance costs would go through the roof.”

                “None of the schools in the 20 states that allow them have had their insurance rise.”

                “Why are we even talking about this?  I’m just adopting this girl.  I’m not carrying a gun to school; period.”

                “You don’t have a concealed carry so you wouldn’t be eligible.”

                “I don’t want to talk about this anymore.  Do you think this girl is dangerous or something?  What did she do?  Why is she an orphan?”

                “She was kidnapped and raped.  The other two girls this piece of shit had he started when they were 10 now they’re 16.  This girl is like 12.  I’m guessing since the authorities took away the other two, he was starting again.”

                Abby was on the phone too and she said, “Nouno thinks that because she was raped at a young age she’s a serial killer.”

                The teacher declared, “That’s ridiculous.  I’m going to go to California and go get this girl unless you have actual facts that she did something wrong.”

                “I don’t except that she threatened us.”

                “No she didn’t, she asked you for help and felt bad ratting you out to the cops.  You take everything the worst way possible.”

                “Thank you for helping”

                “Thank you for letting me have a daughter.”

                The teacher went to California and told Gabriella that she was sent by someone with no hair and a blond lady so that Gabriella knew that she knew Nouno and Abby but the cops wouldn’t know since there were a lot of bald men and blond girls.  Gabriella smiled and went with her back to her home where she was enrolled in her school.  Abby and Nouno searched the news in California for any information about them but all they got was that she was adopted and the rescuers identities were never revealed.  It seemed like they dodged a bullet.  The teacher reported back that Gabriella was a sweet little girl and they loved having her.  Abby turned to Nouno and said, “Now it’s my turn to say I told you so.”

                “First of all we left her in a loving home with great parents.  Second of all, she’s not grown up yet.  Give her a couple years.  The serial killers always start killing small animals before they start killing humans.”

                “Well then maybe we should warn you friend to let us know if she kills a small animal.”

                “She knows the profile.  She’ll let me know.”

                “Alright, but don’t hold your breath.”

                “I won’t.  We gave her all the warnings and she chose.  It’s on her now.  I wash my hands of that little bitch.”

                Abby rolled her eyes.  She pronounced, “You are ridiculous sometimes you know that?”

                Nouno beamed and said, “Yup”

                Abby walked up to him and kissed him and said with a smile and declared, “But I love you anyway”

                Nouno smiled and said, “I love you more.”
