Chapter XV
May 6, 2009
Just the sight of the two Mossad agents, Purplegimp and Teadrinker made Brad’s head ache. What was in store for him he wondered? At least that brute PappyMichael wasn’t in the room. He felt the side of his head where a lump was developing. If only he could have some water, a nice cool sip of water. He then passed out again.
Bradford could hear the sound of waves in the distance, a low, slow roar. His head hurt and he was nauseated. When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded in darkness. He lay still trying to focus on the noises of the night. His eyes swept around the cell. He couldn’t see anything it was so dark. Where was he? What had happened to him? He couldn’t seem to remember the last hours of his life. What was he doing in this small dark room?
He was in hell. He knew it. His mind raced, terror building as he realized he was imprisoned in this horrible little room. He was cold, so he wrapped the thin blanket around him and tried to look out the little barred window. All he could see was trash blowing around in the wind. He was underground, the window at ground level. He went to the door and there was no handle, no way to get out.
Bradford lay back down on the cot. At that moment, the room lit up, shooting arrows of pain into his eyes.
As his eyes flickered trying to adjust to the sudden light, he heard the cell door scrape and open. PappyMichael and someone he had never seen before entered the room. Brad remembered then what had happened and he felt a sickening wave in his stomach.
“You racist pig you stay away from me”, Bradford shouted at PappyMichael.
Pappy said, “Jess quiet down, boy, you don’t know what you’re talking about”. Brad screamed, “” PappyMichael shot Brad an angry look and told him he doesn’t even know him yet. How can he be a racist when Brad doesn’t even know him? “You’re all racists, all you right wing Patriots, blaming everything on Muslims,” said Brad.
The man with Pappy was a big, muscular man with guns all over him, a military type. He advised Pappy, “” Pappy said, “I hear ya, GunnyG. We know Bradford is an entrenched socialist and this won’t be easy.” GunnyG said, “I suggest that Bradford be duct-taped to a chair, electrodes hooked to sensitive areas, and shocked every time he fails a test.” Pappy shook his head in agreement, “We might have to go to that if he does not respond to the Mossad.”
Brad asked for some food. Pappy told him he had better not start that smart mouthing again asking for a Big Mac as there were none operating.
Pappy asked Brad if he remembered he had failed the Pledge of Allegiance. Bradford recalled it and laughed. Pappy gave him a sour look and Brad stopped laughing. Pappy said, “Now I want you to study the Pledge. It’s on that poster on the wall. It’s not hard, you must have learned it as a kid, but the socialists have drummed it out of your brain. We mean to put it back into your brain. If you fail this first requirement, you will be shot.” Brad replied, “You right wingers all suffer with fantastic paranoia, you hold it dear to you. You actually think there is socialism and somebody is trying to take your rights away?” GunnyG glared at Bradford. Brad felt himself shrink under his ruthless eyes.
Pappy and GunnyG left the cell. Bradford looked at the poster with the Pledge on it. He smirked. The words were so big a man half blind could read it he thought. Who did these racist thugs think they are trying to make him a Patriot? Bunch of right wing nut jobs putting him into a prison. Torturing him! They wouldn’t even give him anything to eat. That was his right to have food under the Geneva Convention. Then, he realized the Geneva Convention didn’t mean anything right now. No International Red Cross, no ACLU, no UN, not even CAIR to help him out.
He looked around the room and noticed there were gun posters on the walls with different models and makes.There was another big poster with the Brain Eradication rules printed on it. He noticed his first requirement was the Pledge. Yeah, well that was really an easy one. He could recite it and fool them for awhile.
That second one though, recite the Lord’s Prayer. He couldn’t recall that one. Something like, “Our father, who art in heaven, hello be thy dame...….” His eyes suddenly caught sight of the Bible on the little table. Maybe it was in there. He was panicking. Maybe some kind of prayer was in that Bible, even though he had never opened one. Brad thought some more, “Our father who art in heaven, hello be thy dame, the king comes and Will does something”. What is it? Will does what? And something about bread! Making bread? No, that didn’t sound right. God wouldn’t be talking about making money. That can’t be it. Let me see. “Give us some bread and forgive us for eating it? Rats, bread! That just made me hungry again he thought. Sweat was now pouring down his face and his shirt was soaked.
He looked up and could see two eyes peering at him through the small, barred opening in the door. God, he hoped that GunnyG wasn’t coming back in here. That rabid guy scared the crap out of him. And, he recalled the stories he had heard about GunnyG taking down a lot of socialists. He knew all the socialists talked about GunnyG having lots of blood on his hands. Mr. Buck told him GunnyG is a
The door grated open and the two Mossad agents came into his room. He gaped at them in wonder. They were in wheelchairs! He couldn’t help himself, he burst out laughing. Purplegimp asked him what he was laughing about. Brad said, “The two of you gimps in wheelchairs, that’s what! And, I thought I would be afraid of you. You two are just a couple of worn out, gimpy, over the hill Mossad hacks.”
Purplegimp and Teadrinker looked at one another and laughed.
Teadrinker said, “Is that so, Bradford? You think we can’t hurt you because we’re crippled? We caught you remember? You are going to learn boy, that you are sorely mistaken. We’ve dealt with far worse than you. We’ve fought the Hizzies and taken katyusha rocket hits. We are well seasoned old coots for your information. And you’re just a little bit of pond scum to deal with. Not much of a challenge for us really.”
Teadrinker and Purplegimp told Brad it was time for him to recite that Pledge. He had plenty of time by now to have it down. Brad laughed so hard he nearly knocked his chair over. He looked at Teadrinker and Purplegimp with tears running down his face he was laughing so hard, when just at that moment, he and his chair were knocked to the floor. The duct taped up Brad lay stunned on the floor in his chair.
In a little while, Bradford regained his muscle control, looked back at them to see that Teadrinker had a Taser X26c in her hand. Teadrinker wheeled over to him and having strength Bradford never could have imagined righted him and the chair back up.
For a few moments, Bradford just stared at Teadrinker and then burst out laughing again. Once again he took another hit. He sat dazed, a blank look on his face. After regaining his muscle control he observed that Purplegimp had a Taser X26c in her hand.
Bradford said he was ready to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. “Good”, said Purplegimp. “Glad to see you want to cooperate”.
Bradford recited the whole Pledge word for word. He asked the two agents if he could have some water. Pappy came in with a cup of water setting it down onto the small table. Pappy told Brad his next assignment was to learn the Lord’s Prayer and they would give him some time to learn it. Brad said to Pappy, “Look old man, you’re nothing but a racist thug, tarring all Muslims. Patriots, my azz! You people are a bunch of Islamophobes and you try to call yourselves Christians. I’m not saying any prayers for you, you old geezer.”
Brad felt the heavy blow as a crutch crashed down onto the back of his head. He sat there stupefied for a moment looking up at Teadrinker holding a crutch, pity on her face. “Oh you poor boy, Bradford, you think you can fight your way out of this one. Give it up you poor thing. It will go much easier for you in the long run.” Bradford screamed back, “You’re torturing me. You know that’s not permitted. There are laws against torture!”
Pappy Michael, Teadrinker, and Purplegimp laughed. Purplegimp said to Brad, “There are no stupid rules about torture anymore Bradford. And, there’s nowhere to run. You can’t get any stinking lawyer to come here and help you out either. And, if you think any of the libdolts are going to come out of their holes to rescue you, you are dreaming. Bunch of the worst pusses I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Bradford said, “I thought you guys were Patriots and want to live by the Constitution. I have my Constitutional rights to a fair trial.”
PappyMichael mocked him, “Oh, so now you’re interested in the Constitution are ya? That’s about the only time a socialist cares about the Constitution, when it affects them. If you want a trial, fine by me. I can call on any one of our best snipers right now, GunnyG, DavidMac, WilliBeax, Goshawk, or BrianR. One of them would just love to escort you over to Tennessee to stand trial, that is if you ever make it there.”
Bradford thought about that for awhile. Those snipers! He had heard all about them. They never missed and they had taken down a lot of socialists. He just witnessed first hand the savage attitude of GunnyG. What were his chances of ever reaching Tennessee? Ann Coulter as Chief Justice! He had heard about her sentencing of Ted Kennedy to death by car drowning. She was a psychotic! He looked up at Pappy with despair creeping over his face. “All right, Pappy, I’ll do as you say, for now”. But you can’t hold me down forever. I’ll escape from here sooner or later and when I do you will be the first I’m coming after.”
PappyMichael said, “Fine, Bradford, you do that. And, when you come after me with a bedpan, I’ll be ready for ya.”
