Rufus black hitman

I truly did not sleep well the night before I was to meet with John. Yes I also had to deal with the previous nightmares, so I had my doubt that Rufus Black was the only nightmare I had that night. It was just the only one I could remember.

As I powered my way through my morning chores, I felt like I had a hangover. I waited until I was finished with my inside work before I adjusted my metal and plastic appendage. I made sure my cell phone was charged and turned on before I inserted it into the pocket of my vest. When my body was wired, I left for the Circus Tent.

Inside the vinyl covered PVC frame, I located my longest scooter trailer. I even managed to attach it to the frame of my current three wheeled scooter. Since it also had a trailer to push the scooter forward installed, the second trailer was a bit of a problem. When I finished attaching both trailers, I loaded the larger one with my auxiliary power. I often bought lithium battery packs just in case I ever needed them. It looked as though the time had come to use them. I had to attach wiring to make the batteries interchangeable with the scooter’s controller.

I used cheap dollar store extension cords for the purpose. One cheap cord provided the ends and wire used to transfer the power from the battery pack to a controller. Another cheap cord provided the power from the controller to the motor itself. After the extra battery packs, I loaded my ‘on the road’ tool kit. My cheap set of wrenches, wire cutter, a screw driver set, one unused 6’ extension cord, one 48 volt 800 watt new controller, and one test meter. I also put a can of compress air with a liquid sealant and a spare inner tube. It was a tool kit I could use for most common repairs.

The trailer was also large enough for a nylon full length poncho which could be rigged as a shelter in an emergency. Of course it was part of my clothing bag. The bag itself was a water tight camping bag. Along with the poncho it held an extra pair of jeans, three extra thermal shirts, and two heavier sweat shirts. Even though I didn’t plan to travel in the coldest part of the day, sometimes it was necessary to do the unthinkable.

Oh by the way I was planning on a get out of Dodge road trip. I planned to leave the moment I found out that Rufus had been found. I plugged all the batteries into my 48volt trickle charger so that I would be ready in a moment’s notice. The charger was part of the trailer package. The only outside part was a twenty five foot extension cord used to get AC power to the charger. The plan was that it would come from a motel room, but occasionally it would be connected inside a roadside diner, or a convenience store.

I continued to check and recheck the items for my road trip. I wanted to be sure I had everything I needed without overloading the trailer. I was actually killing time while I waited for my Nephew John to arrive, or at least call.

It was almost lunch when he finally did called. “Hey John about time you called. We need to talk come on over to my place. I’ll meet you at the campground. In the same cabin where Josey was killed.”

I don’t know what I expected him to say, but it wasn’t a one word responce. “Okay,” and then the phone went dead.

I walked on down to the cabin and sat on the sofa bed. I had picked up a glass of ice tea from the Gatehouse as I passed it. I almost finished the tea before he arrived. When he beeped his horn, I opened the gate with my almost smart phone. A couple of minutes later he pulled into the parking lot.
