“Nick’s right,” Ruth agreed. “They must have been desperate to try and do this kidnapping or whatever in broad daylight.”
One of the other police officers ran up to Neil, pulling him aside for a conference. Neil returned with a smile. “You were right, Nick. The driver waited too long in the area. He was driving one of Nazari’s vehicles – a Honda SUV with the license plate covered. They surprised him, but he was armed.”
“We have been entrapped! These men are my bodyguards! My wife and I have many enemies and our lives threatened.”
“Lie to the infidel, huh,” Nick replied. “Good luck with that defense. Did ten year old Sonny attack you? Three of you big strong dupes and a driver, all to capture one little girl. My… you must be very proud.”
Neil tugged the now cursing Nazari toward a squad car with his other officers dragging along the other two. “See you at the station, Nick.”
“I’ll be there.” Nick shook hands with everyone. “I am really sorry to have brought this business to the school. I suspect it has to do with a Homeland Security case I’m working right now for the Department of Justice. We believe the Kader family Neil mentioned are involved. It seems their cohorts got them before we could. You all remember Dimah Kader. She’s doing great now. She and Bill, her Marine, live on base so she doesn’t have to deal with her family. Rachel and I will talk about putting Jean in a private school or hire a tutor. I don’t want to endanger other kids.”
“I can’t speak for everyone,” Rita stated, “but please don’t do that. If not for Jean we would never have heard about that bitch, Florence, trying to brainwash our kids.”
“Rita’s right. We have to make a stand somewhere,” Ruth added. “I’d rather beat these assholes than appease them.”
“Same with me,” Jim said. “We talked before this incident. We know they attacked you on the street and you killed all of them. Speaking only for myself… oh hell yeah! That’s what I’m talkin’ about. We didn’t fight the damn war so we could give these bastards our country on the sly. We’re at war! The sooner our idiot leaders understand that the better. It’s an honor knowing you, Marshal McCarty.”
Nick shook his hand again. “It will always be just Nick to all of you. If anything ever happens you’re uncomfortable with, each of you have my number. Don’t hesitate to call. My Justice Department cohorts and I have teamed with a group of federal agents in the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area. We’re forming a strike force to combat these threats. I hope all of you will be comfortable with relaying anything out of the ordinary in our area to me. We know because of the ports and coastal areas, the terrorist groups are establishing cells onshore and offshore. We believe they’re trying to form No-Go enclaves on the coast under Sharia Law, and forbidden to outsiders, just as they have in Europe. We’re going to stop them. I’ll be dead before I allow anything like is happening in Michigan. We can’t have whole Muslim armies with armories inside their mosques ready to move on orders.”
“Yes! Finally! Someone speaking the words we know to be true,” Rita said. “They keep repeating the same clichés about it’s only a few radicals. Then, out of the blue, a San Bernardino rampage happens. The moment it ended, the dupes in the media immediately whitewash the terrorists as if they were the victims. Good Lord! We are so stupid!”
“Instead of prayer rugs, beads, and Sharia Law, we should be teaching our kids how and why America doesn’t need third world diversity and bullshit terrorist Trojan Horses ferrying our nation’s enemies into our midst so we can accept our own slavery,” Ruth stated.
“Damn right! My kids will know right from wrong. I hear all the time ‘you’re black… we have to fight the man’. Like Ruth said – bullshit. They don’t even teach kids anymore that only two percent of Americans owned slaves, and some of the biggest slave holders in the nation were black, like William Ellison. He even supported the confederate cause. The idiots don’t even teach who brought black slaves to the Horn of Africa. The Arab slave traders brought them to the coast in the millions. They still operate there now. To me… the world only has one enemy… and it ain’t the white man. We’re all Americans! When do we get off the liberal plantation and start acting like it? I’m with you, Nick! My family will keep our eyes open. If we see something strange, we’ll contact you right away, brother.”
“Thank you. I can’t tell you how good it is to talk with citizens who feel the same way as I do about this crap. I better get over to the station and make sure the Nazari gang gets locked away. C’mon, Deke. We better go let Rachel blast me for not phoning her within seconds of this Nazari incident. If I look beaten the next time you see me, it will be because I didn’t talk fast enough. Bye for now.”
Laughter followed Nick and Deke on the way to the car.
