Chapter 14

Many people in Kansas knew the history of Bryan Washington’s father. As a young Baptist preacher in Alabama, he felt the calling of the Lord to start an integrated church. All he had was three hundred dollars in savings and an old car. He drove until his money ran out, and started a church at that location. He had almost stopped in Kansas City, Missouri, but decided that he had the gas to cross the Missouri River Bridge. He kept going until his gas was almost gone, and pulled over next to a small restaurant in Topeka, Kansas. He asked the waitress, “What can I get for four dollars? This meal is for me and the Lord.” He preached and occasionally nibbled at his food. The waitress was Bryan’s mother.

Mr. Zimmerman was white, not particularly religious, and the owner of the restaurant. The young black preacher moved him. “I own a vacant building downtown with a big open five thousand square foot space. I have had trouble renting it. You clean it and I will buy one hundred fold up chairs.”

His waitress spoke, “I can help you clean, and if you like my voice I can sing some.” She had a wonderful voice and together they made a team. Five years later, Reverend Washington had the largest church in Topeka, Kansas, and Mr. Zimmerman never missed a Sunday.

Something in Bryan Washington’s life had gone very wrong. He was the youngest of five brothers. Before he was born, his oldest brother graduated from the University of Kansas and started law school. When Bryan was five, his next oldest brother had graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in chemical engineering. His other two brothers had also graduated from college, one became a preacher and the other became an FBI agent.

Bryan was always a difficult child, but no one had expected this near perfect family to face the trials that he had brought them. When he was twelve years old, he sampled a drug called speed or methamphetamine and he was truly happy for the first time in his life. With meth, happiness comes at a very high cost. No matter how hard his parents tried, they could not control him. His mother started to notice little things missing from her home.

She was not a worldly woman, but she had a prize pearl necklace that was worth a thousand dollars. When it went missing, she put the necessary facts together to accuse Bryan. With a Bible in her hand, she entered his room and confronted her thirteen-year-old son.

She was a small woman. The confrontation escalated and she slapped his cheek. Bryan was not able to control himself and attacked her. As she lay unconscious on his bedroom floor, he emptied the family savings box of six hundred and fifty nine dollars, took her car and drove away. He was stopped
