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.”
