Chapter VIII
In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.
Croesus (d. c. 560 bc)
Lydian king   

Val and Joseph interrogated the perps concerning any details about the spyhouse explosion.  The freak with long hair had difficulty remembering where he lived, only recalling his name.  The black man with a accent kept asking for an attorney, whereas the young woman tearfully explained she as forced to go on the trip by her long-haired freak boyfriend.
"I forgot where I live, " mumbled the white freak.
"Are you stoned? " inquired Joseph.
"I'll try to calm my partner down or he'll rip your head off, " warned Val.
"If you don't answer my questions I will hang you by your toes, " intimated Joseph.
"I live in Pine Hills, " confessed the perp as he coughed up blood from an accident as he resisted arrest.
"So you travel to Wintergarden for the quiet respite? " interrogated Joseph.
"I like peace and quiet, " said Paul the freak.
"Like blowing up a house? " sarcastically commented Val.
"I don't know about that house, " stated Paul his expression displayed a chronic tick so that his eyes blinked separately.
"You know about the house, " interjected Joseph.
"The papers didn't print the story, " said Val.
"I heard it from the pusher, " covered Paul.
"If I find out the pusher, you'll be released, " encouraged Val.
"Definitely, " added Joseph.
"She's the main pusher for Pine Hills, " confessed Paul.
"Fanny the gggossip? " stuttered Val.  "The bitch who supplies the kids? "
"We busted her six months ago, " replied Joseph.  "She was released on the fact that the perp refused to nail her. "
"The snitch must have been warned by the suppliers, " detailed Val.
"Heavy weapons passed by her to the locals, " stated the freak.
"Red-neck the club warned the snitch to shut his trap or he'll rip his tongue out, " said Joseph.
"We heard that from the snitch, after we collered him with a pro, " continued Val.
"Sign this statement then you'll be out of here, " commanded Joseph.
Joseph and Val arrested Fanny the gossip as she was selling crack to a user.  She screamed that her lawyer will have them by their private parts if she was arrested.  Her expression demonstrated tight jawed anomousity that puked strange Christian epilouges about burning in hell, and Satan will have their souls.  Her religious references sounded like evangelical dogma covering her contrasting behavior.
"Jesus will punish you for arresting his representative on Earth, " proclaimed Fanny the Gossip.
"Are you a God? " facetiously asked Joseph.
"God works in strange ways, " replied Fanny the Gossip. "I bring love to Earth from Jesus, providing my breathren with relief from the infringement of heathens in their consciousness.  We must take drugs to destroy the heathen influence, " prosletized Fanny the Gossip.
"Jesus will recognized our sins are forgive us, " answered Joseph.  Page 28
