Nouno the Vigilante Episode 18 Trouble in Utopia

                Mackenzie Lueck is a pretty blond girl currently attending college in Salt Lake City, Utah.  While most girls are letting themselves go crazy with their first taste of freedom from their parents, Mackenzie’s upbringing has kept her on a less dangerous path.  She volunteers her time at soup kitchens and homeless shelters and hangs out with her friends.  Despite enjoying her time, she attends her classes regularly and has good marks that allows her to enjoy her weekends guilt-free.  Given her religious upbringing, she dresses very conservatively but when you’re a woman in your last teens, early 20s, it’s hard to go unnoticed.  The Utah colleges are always ranked towards the top of the list in attractive girls with BYU normally ranking number one.  With this amount of competition, it’s easier for her to not be cat called and harassed on the streets when she’s trying to just go about her business.  On the face of things, Mackenzie seems like just another young pretty girl that has her entire life ahead of her.  The world is her oyster as she has a strong core family to aid her and a good set of habits that can be nurtured into an adult that contributes positively to society for the next few decades.  Unfortunately, things don’t always turn out the way the path would lead you to believe they will.  Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances knock you off your path or stop your progression permanently. 

 

                Ayoola Ajayi is a 31-year-old Nigerian immigrant.  Like many immigrants to this country, he has found that even in America, you have to work hard to get ahead.  This is especially frustrating for him since Nigerians are among the most successful immigrants to come to America, which puts a lot of pressure on him to live up to the standards set forth by his predecessors.  He decided to move to Utah so it would differentiate him among the homogeneous society of Salt Lake City.  Growing up in Africa, a pale blond white girl is considered foreign and exotic to him and. like many people, he is attracted to foreign and exotic women.  Unfortunately for him, the girls of Salt Lake City are not the promiscuous blonds that he had always heard about on TV and by others.  These were largely Mormon or other religious girls that believed in saving sex for marriage.  At 31, Ayoola should be of age to settle down but he wanted to have some fun before that happened.  As he was stewing in his frustration, he remembered why he came to America in the first place.  America is a place where if you want something, you can go for it.  You must seize your opportunity through perseverance and hard work.  Often times, those who don’t succeed weren’t willing to grind or put in the time required.  If you want something, you got to take it.  Ayoola decided he would use this mentality for women as well. 

As he looked at his house, he realized that his neighbors lived decently close to him.  That made him a little nervous for what he was planning.  He started researching ways to give himself more privacy in his home and discovered a relatively cheaper way to make his basement sound proof.  He spent a lot of time and money to ensure that his neighbors could not hear what was going on in his basement.  Usually, this minor renovation is done because someone is starting a band or purchasing a drum set to relieve stress after a tough day at work.  Ayoola, on the other hand, has more nefarious ideas

 

While Ayoola was making his basement sound proof, in Portland, ANTIFA recently had another incident where they terrorize those that don’t agree with them.  This has called a nationwide backlash of conservatives calling ANTIFA, ‘Anti-first amendment.’”  Although they all know what it actually stands for, they believe that respect is earned and ANTIFA certainly hasn’t earned it.  The most notable user of this term is Kelly Ann Conway of Fox News.  She uses that ‘Anti-first amendment’ moniker to describe them and mainstream media pounces on her for getting it wrong.  There are headline after headline in Newsweek, the Washington Post and other liberal propaganda outlets masquerading as news media programs exposing Kelly Ann Conway for calling ANTIFA ‘anti-first amendment.’  This has reached Arizona where Nouno is watching this and bursts out laughing.  Nouno and his wife Abby go around the country being vigilantes for immigrants that give immigrants a bad name by coming to this country to cause trouble.  Given that most places in America are hesitant to prosecute immigrants due to the illogical backlash from the mob, Nouno and Abby do what law enforcement isn’t allowed to do because of Democratic mayors, commissioners or other politicians.  Personally, Abby finds her ideas are more left of center but Nouno is a far-right conservative.  Abby looks up from her phone and remarks, “What the hell is so funny?”

“All these mainstream media sites have headlines referring to ANTIFA as ‘anti-first amendment’”

“Okay, but they’re making fun of Fox News”

“You don’t understand, they fell for their own trick”

“You’re right, I don’t understand”

“Fake news always asks conservatives trap questions.  It’s not a new thing; I mean we did this in grade school”

“Did what?”

“When I went to school, being called ‘gay’ was an insult.  So, boys would ask other boys, ‘do your parents know you’re gay’ if you answer the yes or no question with a ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ you admit to being gay.  If you realize the trap and say, ‘I’m not gay’ then the questioner tells everyone that you said you’re not gay.  Someone who wasn’t there wonders why you just decided to volunteer that information and in the back of their mind, they think you might be because why else would you just deny it out of the blue?”

“So how do you answer the question?”

“Attack the questioner.  Say it’s a ridiculous question and refuse to answer.”

“So, you’re saying that by making the accusation, all these headlines put the idea in lay people’s heads that ANTIFA really is an anti-1^st Amendment organization because why else would they deny it.”

“Exactly, we got mainstream media to call them what we call them and publicize it.”

“There is no ‘we.’  It was other conservatives.  You’re not charismatic.  You have like no twitter followers so don’t take credit for this.”

“Fine, but I’m still happy.  Verdct: Fuck You ANTIFA!”

“Well, that’s fine.  We have a case by the way.  This guy’s pretty fucking sick and it’s in a place you wouldn’t expect.”

“Where?”

“Salt Lake City”

“No, if you read Under the Banner of Heaven the fundamentalist Mormons are just as fucked up as fundamentalist in other religions.”

“Well, the good Mormons do a good job of keeping the bad ones in bumblefuck nowhere so they only hurt each other and not regular people.  Isn’t that what our ethos is, go after immigrants that harm Americans?”

Nouno puts his head down, “Yea, you’re right.  Anyway, what happened?”

                Back in Salt Lake City, Ayoola is on the hunt.  He goes down to the local homeless shelter and sees a young girl serving food.  That is his target. As she leaves to go to her car, Ayoola has his trunk open and he’s struggling to move a couch into his SUV.  Mackenzie, seeing this, smiles charmingly and asks, “Do you need help?”

                “Yes, thank you” Ayoola says

                Mackenzie goes to the other end and picks up the other side of the couch.  Her back is to the car so doesn’t see the plexiglass separating the front seats from the back seat.  Mackenzie steps up onto the SUV and Ayoola jams the couch into her driving her to the Plexiglas.  He slams the trunk closed and rushes to the driver seat where he starts the car and drives off.  Mackenze starts banging on the glass and screaming but nobody can hear her. 

                Ayoola easily forces the petite blond into his basement when he gets home.  He hand cuffs her arms to a bar he has attached to his ceiling.  Mackenzie pleads with him to let her go and he doesn’t have to do this.  She promises that if he lets her go, she won’t tell anyone.  Ayoola uses a machete to cut off her clothes and as Mackenzie stands there naked, Ayoola says, “You will obey everything I tell you to do.  Your body belongs to me.  Do you understand?”

                Mackenzie sniffles as the emotional distress and crying has caused mucus to generate in her nose.  She responds, “Please, I didn’t do anything to you.  I’m a virgin; I won’t be enjoyable for you.  Just let me go.”

                Since Ayoola is behind her, Mackenze doesn’t realize that he has a whip in his hand.  He cracks the whip against her butt and Mackenzie shrieks.  He asks again, “Do you understand me?”

                “YES!” Mackenzie screams out. 

                Over the next couple days, Ayoola tortures and rapes Mackenzie repeatedly.  The once smooth, baby faced girl has a strung out look on her face.  Her previously unblemished skin is filled with lacerations on her back and bruises throughout her body.  Her once well maintained nails have some missing on her toes and hands as Ayoola ripped some out just to hear her scream.              

                Ayoola comes downstairs to see Mackenzie in the fetal position.  She barely reacts to his presence now.  She has learned that she is helpless.  She doesn’t resist, she has fully accepted her fate.  Ayoola declares, “You know, you’ve gotten very ugly.”

                “I’m sorry master” Mackenzie nonchalantly responds

                “I think I’m done with you.”

                “Okay, I’m sorry I can no longer pleasure you.”  In less traumatic states, Mackenzie may have taken this as a sign of hope that she would be released.  Hope, however, has long since left her psyche.  Now, she just doesn’t react and waits for her new torture. 

                “Get up on all fours”

                Mackenzie lifts herself on her hands and knees.  Ayoola comes up behind her and lunges his penis into her anus.  Mackenzie still winces when this happens.  Ayoola reached around with a machete-wielding right hand and slits Mackenzie’s throat. Unlike her experience in this dungeon, Mackenzie doesn’t suffer as she dies quickly with her severely severed throat.  Ayoola then makes a large fire in his fireplace and tosses Mackenzie in it as if she were a piece of wood.  The flames of the fire turn whatever is left of her pale skin into a charred black. 

                Back in Arizona, Abby responds to what their target did with, “Well, a Nigerian immigrant tortured a girl in a soundproof basement.  He murdered her and burned her body.”

                “This is an anomaly.  Salt Lake City is usually a conservative political town and Nigerians are usually good at assimilating and are here to actually work hard for the American dream rather than suck the tit of American entitlements.”

                “Well, we don’t discriminate. All cultures have their bad apples.”

                “I always estimate it at at least 20%.”

                “Whatever, bottom line is, the mainstream media has refused to use the guy’s name because they don’t want to offend the few black people in Salt Lake City.”

                “So, they are covering it up.  They just call him ‘Salt Lake City man’”

                “Yea, it’s textbook what we do.”

                “You misunderstand me. At no point am I avoiding this case.  It’s just an indication that the country is really declining since it’s not just Democrat places with this PC bullshit.  Let’s go.”

                Abby and Nouno book a flight and go to Salt Lake City.  Nouno is looking at his phone and smiles.  Abby realizes it in the corner of her eye and asks, “What can possibly be making you happy now?”

                “Judicial Watch is putting a FOIA request in”

                “You know, it’s weird how they do a better job of getting documents than the Republican congress and DOJ.”

                “I do know that.  See, government can’t do anything better than private organizations and citizens.” Abby gives Nouno a dirty look as she recognizes the shot against her left leaning beliefs.  Nouno continues, “I’m serious, look at us.  We do a better job than the local cops.  That’s true for any city we’ve been to.”

                “So you’re saying we’re like judicial watch”

                “I am”

                “Alright, I can handle that.  So what is the FOIA request for?”

                “The correspondence between Hillary, Christopher Steele, Bruce Ohr and others.  Basically the back channels into the DOJ, FBI and CIA by Hillary, Glenn Simpson and Christopher Steele”

                “That sounds kind of juicy. What did they find out?”

                “Steele owns a company called Orbis”

                “Is that background or is that what they found out?”

                “Background”

                “Stop the suspense and just tell me”

                “Well Orbis was sending intelligence reports to Johnathan Weiner and Victoria Nuland since 2014.”

                “Those are state department people.  Why would they need Steele to tell them information?”

                ‘Exactly, seems like the FBI and CIA were giving Steele information.  Their source wasn’t one way but a two way street.”

                “Why though?”

                “So that Steele could launder information to the state department without exposing the FBI and CIA.  The FBI and CIA can say they didn’t leak to the media.  That is both true and misleading.  They told someone that would tell the media or other people they wanted to know.”

                “So it’s a cover your ass move”

                “Yup”

                “This is fucked up.  I hope you’re wrong.”

                “Honestly, I do too but I keep getting more and more information”

                “Well, it’s still a conspiracy theory in my book.  All circumstantial”

                “All cases are built on a series of circumstantial evidence.”

                “Yea, I know, you say that a lot but I don’t know.  All we know is that Orbis talked to Weiner and Nuland.  We don’t know how Orbis found out the information.  I mean, Steele was an MI6 spy so he may have other means than just our FBI and CIA.”

                “Fine, it does provide an explanation for one thing though”

                “What’s that?”

                “How did Glenn Simpson know to talk to Steele to launder his dossier into the DOJ?  How do they know each other?”

                “You’re saying Weiner and Nuland made the introduction.”

                “It’s possible”

                “You’re speculating again.  Any  facts here?  What did the correspondence actually say?”

                “Most of it had to do with Ukraine.  Steele was giving intelligence reports to Ukraine, which in turn gave it to Nuland, Weiner and Alexandra Chalupa of the DNC.”

                “The same names keep popping up.  That could be how they found out about Manafort.  Not to mention Biden, Hillary and George Soros were heavily involved in Ukraine.  It keeps going back to Ukraine.”

                “Now who’s speculating?”

                “It’s just an observation”

                “Well you know I agree.  You may be on to something that it may not have been the FBI and CIA”

                “What makes you say that?”

                “There’s a Wall Street Journal piece that uncovered Glenn Simpson meeting with people to perpetuate his story.”

                “Well, that’s just good due diligence.  He owns Fusion GPS, which gets oppositional research on people.  I’m not too concerned about that.”

                “I guess you’re right.  Not as interesting as I thought it was.”

                Nouno and Abby land in Salt Lake City and check into the hotel.  Nouno is a little upset because this city doesn’t allow you to have strong alcohol.  Even the beer is under 4% alcohol.  He looks up and says, “You know Abby, we don’t even have to sound proof the hotel room.”

                “Why not?  Oh wait, we can just use this asshole’s basement”

                “Right”

                “I like it” Abby says with a smile.

                “Alright, did you find anything on social media?”

                “No need.  The piece of shit likes pretty blondes.  I’m a pretty blond.  This is Utah, they’re very communal.   I’m just going to knock on his door and turn the charm on.  Then I’m going to jab him with a syringe”

                “Don’t you think that he’s going to be on guard since it made national news what he did?”

                “No, they refused to reveal his name.  Remember, these are Mormons.  God teaches them to forgive and turn the other cheek.  They don’t condemn.  That’s for God to do.  He’ll probably think I’m just being neighborly and letting him know that just because he did something horrendous, we can forgive him and he’s not going to be a pariah.  After all, pariahs are what pretty much all the mass shooters are so we’re doing the Christian thing to thwart a mass shooting.”

                “Well, we’re still doing that just not by giving him a community but to remove him from the community that is the realm of the living.”

                “Precisely,” Abby said with a huge contagious smile that would disarm almost any man. 

                “Alright, well, it’s worth a shot.”

                Abby and Nouno go to Ayoola’s house.  Abby palms the syringe and hits the doorbell with the same smile she had given Nouno.  Nouno looks on from the car clutching the steering wheel so hard his hands are sweating.  Although Abby is normally used as bait, it always makes him extremely nervous.

                Ayoola doesn’t know what to make of the door bell at first.  He thinks it might be people trying to convert him to Mormonism as they often go door to door.  He checks the window and sees a pretty blond with tremendous curves.  He jumps back and realizes he kind of misses having a sex slave.  Perhaps there is a God as He just gave him a replacement.  He opens the door matching her smile and says, “Hi, how may I help you?”

                Abby’s voice raises an octave as she tilts her head to the side and states, “Hi sir, it’s time for revenge” as she drives the syringe into the bottom of his head driving it into his lower jaw and depressing the trigger. 

Ayoola collapses almost immediately and Abby looks back at the car and waves Nouno to come inside.  Nouno gets out of the car and walks inside.  They drag Ayoola to the basement.  Nouno and Abby then grab a table and carry it to the basement.  They pick up Ayoola’s dead weight and lay him on the table.  Nouno at 6’0” 220 pounds does most of the work.  They duck tape him to the table then they go out to their car.  Nouno brings in two empty gallon milk cartons and a rag.  Nouno fills up the gallon jugs with water and brings it to the basement.  Now they just need to wait for Ayoola to wake up.

Ayoola does wake up and struggles with his constraints.  Nouno has the table leaned against the wall and is leaning on the other side so Ayoola can’t knock it over.  He starts, “I’m sure you’re wondering why you’re like this?”

“Not really, you’re girl already told me she was out for revenge”

Abby chimes in, “I said that right before I knocked you out.  You remember that?”

“I was conscious when you said it, why wouldn’t I”

“Well usually people are disoriented when we do this.”

“You do realize that I’m a black man so if you do anything to me, you’ll be crucified by the American public.”

“If they knew about it, yes that is what would happen but they won’t”

“Just remember what happened to Officer Pantaleo in New York”

Nouno was originally from New York so did keep abreast of the news.  He knew that the death of Eric Garner led to the firing of Office Pantaleo, who took him down with a restraining hold.  Since Garner was ridiculously unhealthy, he died in the ambulance from stress induced complications.  It had nothing to do with what Pantaleo did as he dealt with the situation by the book.  He responded, “Well the commissioner O’Neill is a pussy and caved to pressure from communist mayor De Blasio.”

“And you don’t think your superiors will condemn you for this?”

“Considering I’m not a cop and have no superiors, no I don’t”

“Yea, O’Neill really ostracized his subordinate cops”

“Even though he tried to assuage them by saying that if he was a cop, he’d be mad at him too, I don’t think it helped at all.  He and De Blasio just made New York a more dangerous place”

“Well, Pantaleo shouldn’t have gone around attacking black people.”

“He didn’t. He was responding to complaints by store owners that thought a 350 pound man selling cigarettes on the corner intimidated customers.”

“That’s discriminatory don’t you think.  Stereotyping large black men.”

“There’s a reason for stereotypes.  Clubs do it all the time.  They don’t let bikers hang out in front of the stores because it scares the girls away.  Drug dealers are bad for business.  Pantaleo was just doing his job by responding to a community asking for his help to deal with someone doing something illegal.  This is standard police work.”

“You’re blaming him for being big.  That’s like someone calling you a NAZI for being bald”

“If someone were to question me for that, I would respond.  If I was doing something illegal, like Garner was, I wouldn’t resist arrest.”

“He put him in a chokehold”

“No he didn’t”

“Yes, he did”

“You don’t know the difference.  Here let me show you.”  Nouno jammed his four fingers into one of Ayoola’s ceratoid arteries and his thumb on the other and squeezed.  This is an extremely painful way to debilitate your body and force someone of any size to bend to your will.  As Ayoola struggled ineffectively, Nouno calmly proceeded, “See, to the untrained person, this would be considered a choke hold because my hands are on your throat.  The medical definition of being strangled, however, is I need to break your hyoid bone by forward pressure.  The hyoid bone is in the front of your neck but my hands are on either side of your hyoid bone so there’s no pressure on the bone at all.  As you are realizing though, it still hurts.  Anyway, this is what law enforcement does.  They avoid the windpipe so they don’t kill someone by strangulation but they can control them.  If you weren’t restrained right now, I would demonstrate by easily moving your body back and forth using one hand.  Anyway, I think you get the point.  This is not a choke hold.  I’m simply cutting off the blood flow to your brain.  If I did this, however, as he moved his thumb to the front of his neck and put pressure on the hyoid bone which pressed against his windpipe, now I’m choking you and this is a choke hold.”

After his speech, Nouno let go of Ayoola’s neck, which caused him to cough violently.  Usually Nouno only keeps the hold on for a couple seconds but even that causes the person’s neck to be in nagging pain for two weeks.  Ayoola was in the hold for much longer and his neck was throbbing but as Nouno explained, it wasn’t life threatening as his breathing was not affected.  Ayoola cried out, “Seems like a chokehold to me”

Nouno gave Abby a look.  Abby covered Ayoola mouth with the rag and Nouno poured the water onto the rag.  Nouno articulated, “See, Garner resisted arrest so Pantaleo put him in the hold to get him to surrender.  It worked.  It’s not his fault that Garner panicked like a little bitch and gave himself a heart attack. Remember he died in the ambulance.  If you say it was a chokehold again, I’m going to do this again.”

Nouno stopped pouring and Abby removed the rag.  Ayoola coughed violently as being water boarded isn’t fun.  Abby took the empty milk jug and went upstairs to fill it up again.  Ayoola burst out, “What the fuck man?  This isn’t exactly a fair trial if I disagree with you and you torture me.”

“You’re right, I’m not interested in a fair trial”

“Neither was Pantaleo”

“False, he had two fair investigations.  The DOJ and City of New York investigated and cleared him of any criminal charges so he was unfairly fired.  He should probably sue the city of New York.”

“Well, you know how it is.  White cop, black criminal”

“You know, you’re the only African I met that plays the race card.  You really are a piece of shit but neither investigation found racial intent so the fact that Pantaleo is white and Garner is black is irrelevant.” 

“The cops rushed to judgment”

“No they didn’t, they spent several minutes trying to talk him down before Pantaleo did what he had to do.”

“What he had to do? You mean murder him?”

Nouno jammed a knife into Ayoola’s knee and reprimanded him, “He wasn’t murdered; he died from a police encounter.  Garner was in complete control of the interaction.  All he had to do was comply and not resist arrest.”

Ayoola screamed in pain and exclaimed, “Why are you doing this to me?”

“Well you tortured that girl, so I’m torturing you.  I do want to know two things.  There’s a debate over what’s worse water boarding or Chinese water torture.  Also, what’s worse being stabbed in the knee or in the Achilles Heel?  So, you’ve experience two.  I’ll wait before executing the other two so you can compare.”

“What if I don’t want to answer?”

“You of all people should know that people tend to do things they don’t want to do when they’re tortured”

“Can I still debate with you?”

“Yes, just don’t lie.”

“Fine, the cops could have just tackled him, they didn’t need to use a hold involving the neck.”

“Garner stood against a plate glass window.  If they tackled him through it, then both Garner and the cop probably would have died.  It’s not like the movies, if you go through a window, it’s a medical emergency and you probably won’t live through it.”

                “Not to use the term you don’t like, but Garner did say he couldn’t breathe.”

                “If you can say ‘I can’t breathe’ then you’re not being choked.  Garner said that after the hold was released.”

                “Then he couldn’t breathe in the hold.”

                “Yes he could, he just didn’t realize it.  Just like how you probably thought you couldn’t breathe when I had you in the hold.  Either way, when he let go, he could breathe again.  The fact that he said he couldn’t breathe when not in the hold, means it was him panicking from being in the hold not the hold itself.”

                “That seems like a cop out”

                “Maybe, but doesn’t change the fact that it wasn’t the hold that was the problem, it was the reaction to the hold.”

                “So you’re blaming the victim”

                “You’re damn right I am.”

                “What if I said that since that girl was wearing skimpy clothing, she deserved what I did to her?”

                Nouno drove his knife into Ayoola’s left Achilles Heel and softly explained, “No, because you actually harmed her unnecessarily.  Your actions were intended to harm.  You intended to kill her.  See, intent is very big in the justice system of the United States.  Now that you’ve been stabbed in the knee and the Achilles Heel, which hurt more?”

                “Fuck you” Ayoola screamed out

                “I could always retest” as Nouno raised the knife over Ayoola’s head so he could see it.  Ayoola replied, “The Achilles, definitely the Achilles”

                “Thank You, now what do you think of Officer Pantaleo”

                “I still think he’s racist”

                Nouno covered Ayoola’s mouth with duck tape and saw his eyes widen in fear.  Abby grabbed a chair and sat across from Nouno with a timer on her phone to go off every thirty seconds.  She had an eye dropper and she filled it with water.  Every time the buzzer went off, Abby used the eye dropper to descend a drop of water onto Ayoola’s forehead.  She remarked casually, “What happened to your friend that took her kid to Virginia Tech for college?”

                “They had orientation and he found out that I was right about how college campuses are just liberal indoctrination camps.”

                “I thought your friend is apolitical”

                “He is, but he sees my point now.”

                “How so?  What could possibly happen at orientation?”

                “Every speaker that got up gave their name and preferred pronouns.  The name tags also had preferred pronouns on it.  When they separated the kids from the adults, the teachers told the parents not to be surprised if their kids come back changed.”

                “Well, isn’t that the point of college, for kids to grow into adults?”

                “Yea, but my friend is a little suspicious on what ‘change’ they’re talking about given the emphasis they put on preferred pronouns.  He’s beginning to question what he has saved up all these years for.”

                “I can see his point but at the end of the day, you got to just trust that you raised your kids well enough that they won’t fall victim to the indoctrination.”

                “At the same time, you don’t want a school to try so hard to indoctrinate.  You want the pressure to come from peers and the biggest taste of freedom they’ve had not the institution.  The institution is supposed to aid the children into the transition to adulthood not be an obstacle.”

                “Yea, I guess they’re not going to be getting any additional money from Alumni contributions or donations.”

                “That is honestly the only way these schools will stop.  They need to be defunded by the donors and benefactors.  More of them should be aware of this indoctrination because these positions don’t poll very well.  That, and the government needs to get out of education since, like everything else, they’ve made it worse.”

                “I know that’s your position but I’m still skeptical.  College is still a positive experience for kids I believe.”

                “Well, we differ there.  Did you hear about the New York Times leak?”

                “No, but isn’t a newspaper’s job to leak? So saying they leaked something is a little redundant.”

                “No, they had a meeting with the top editor.  That’s what leaked, the content of the meeting.”

                “Oh what happened?”

                “The top editor admitted that they weren’t journalists anymore.  He told them that they believed Mueller’s testimony would vindicate them but that backfired immensely.  The new strategy, as he explained, was to stop with this Russian collusion nonsense and go to a different hoax”

                “Which would be?”

                “Trump is a racist”

                “Oh well that’s true” she rejoined with a smile

                “Yea, that’s why he keeps bragging about black and Hispanic unemployment being at an all time low.”

                “He said that there were fine people in the Neo-NAZI’s”

                “No he didn’t. He said there were fine people on both sides of the debate on whether or not to take down the Confederate statue.  His very next sentence was ‘I’m not talking about the Neo-NAZI’s and White Supremacists because they should be condemned totally.’  What did you think that meant?”

                Abby took out her phone and looked up the speech and found out Nouno was right.  The very next sentence was President Trump clarifying and condemning White Supremacists and Neo-NAZIs. She shrugged her shoulders and undeterred, offered, “Well, proving someone isn’t racist is harder than proving they didn’t collude with Russia.  That hoax would be easier to perpetuate especially since they love changing the meaning of words.”

                “Are you trying to get a rise out of me and make me rant?”

                “Yes” Abby replied with a large grin

                “Well, you know how I hate how they change the English language and pretend non-emotive words like ‘binder’ and ‘clown’ are all of a sudden ethnic and chauvinistic terms.”

                “Yea, I know that’s why I said it” maintaining the grin

                “CNN has joined in to.  They had a commentator admit that she’s having trouble reconciling Israel not letting Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib into the country.”

                “Well, they’re very open about how they want Israel eliminated off the map.”

                “Right, but that’s not the problem CNN has because then they would just condemn Israel for being racist.”

                “So, what problem do they have?”

                “Mifsa, the organization arranging the trip to Israel, is linked to praising Neo-NAZI’s and female suicide bombers.”

                “Ah, so Talib and Omar want to travel with racists and they’re calling Israel racist for not letting them.  So, they don’t care about the racism of Mifsa but they do about Israel.  Yea, hard to make a sentence without being a hypocrite”

                “Not really.  Just call Talib and Omar the racists, and then everything is consistent.  As for Israel, admit what you just said.  They don’t want to let someone into their country that wants it destroyed.”

                “Yea but they’re allowed in congress in America and they want to destroy America too.”

                “I will agree that is a problem with our system.  It is an abuse of the first amendment but it’s not something I want to deny to them.  They use their rights to be racist idiots and I use mine to condemn them but I don’t want them suppressed.”

                “You’re just saying that because you think they’re hurting the Democrat party because they’re scaring away the moderates.”

                “Just like Eric Garner scared away clients and intimidated store owners since they didn’t want to anger him by asking him to leave”

                “Is that your hint to tell me to stop our little experiment?”

                “Yea, let’s see what happens”

                Abby was religiously dropping the water every thirty seconds during their conversation ignoring any moans Ayoola made from under the duck tape.  Nouno asked, “What was worse?  That or water boarding?”

                “Water Boarding but that was pretty fucking annoying”

                Abby looked up, “You know, I think the point of Chinese Water torture is to do it over a couple hours.”

                “Yea, you’re right.”

                Abby and Nouno strategized and found a way to drip water sporadically for a couple of hours through a series of ties.  They then left and canvassed the area for crematoriums.  When they figured out their plan, they got something to eat and came back.  It had been a few hours and Ayoola was right where they left him.  They didn’t bother to put the duck tape on because they wanted him to scream to no avail since he sound proofed his own basement.  When they came back, they asked him again.  Ayoola’s face looked drained and strung out. Nouno took down the contraption and inquired, “So, what’s worse?”

                “Well, you only water boarded me once.  If you kept doing it, then I still say the water boarding but right now since I had to go for so long with that, the Chinese Water torture.”

                “Yea, but if you’re trying to get information, water boarding would get the information quicker.”

                “Yes, I would agree with that.”

                “Great, how miserable do you feel right now?”

                “Horrendous.  I thank you for allowing me to recognize what I did to that poor girl.  I’m so sorry for what I did.  I’m disgusted with my actions.  I wish I could take it all back.  I know what I need to do.  I need to turn myself in and request to be punished.”

                “Oh, no you don’t have to do that.” Nouno responded with a tone to make it seem like his reconciliatory attitude was working.

                Abby took a sympathetic tone and explained, “Yea, we’re going to punish you right now.”

                With that, Nouno thrust the knife into Ayoola’s chest killing him instantly.  Abby and Nouno went into autopilot mode as they wrapped the body and waited for darkness before loading it into the car and bringing it to the crematorium.  They incinerated the body and came back later to dispose of the bones in the proper way to hide all tracks that they were there.  The following day, Nouno and Abby got on the plane and went back to Arizona.  While on the plane, Abby remarked, “You know, this isn’t the first rapist or murderer we killed.  We normally don’t torture them.  What made this different?”

                “Are you having regrets?”

                “No, I do think he was one of the worst people we killed.  It’s just interesting.  We normally go extra for child rapists but we made an exception here.”

                “We did because he made a sound proof room so he could torture her while he raped and murdered her.  This wasn’t someone who was just horny and gave in to baser instincts.  He drew it out and wanted her to scream.”

                Abby tensed up and thought about this.  She shook her head as her lower lip protruded in front of her top lip and nodded, “Yea, I think you’re right.”

                “Alrighty then”

                They landed in Arizona and went home.  There was no coverage in the media about Ayoola’s disappearance.  Just how the media refused to publish his name and cover up what happened, they ignored the story of his disappearance.  To the community, they were just happy that he was gone and didn’t really care where he went.  To the Mormons of Salt Lake City, it was good riddance for Ayoola Ajayi.  Nouno and Abby transitioned to their regular routine awaiting the next time Abby found another case.
