CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Zane was trying his damnedest not to engage in the argument beside him. Patience had the phone close to her face, glaring as though she could set it afire by heat of her eyes alone. He glanced over once and returned his attention immediately to the road. He didn’t look entirely convinced that she couldn’t.

“It was bad enough having Forsyth and Rockwell and those two SolarTech freaks all together in that gym with those kids. The whole building could have exploded from the sheer malevolence in the air. We’ve been killing ourselves, trying to accomplish what You’ve asked us to do, and You just bailed on us with my crazy uncle on the scene, setting up target practice! What the hell was that?”

I GAVE U A TIME-OUT

Her jaw dropped and she looked up at Zane. He shook his head and kept his attention forward. “I told you, Patience, I won’t be involved. I’ve been zapped once already, thanks.”

“My point exactly!”

“No.”

She tossed the phone onto the dash and glowered out the window. “He’s got all the time in the world for emoticons and ridiculous jokes, so long as everything’s under control. But, the second things start to get a little hectic, we’re on our own. The Big Guy is out of here.”

SIGH

“He just texted me a sigh!”

Zane sighed himself and the phone chimed again.

WEN U SEE 2 SETS OF FOOTPRNTS IN THE SAND U NO I WALK B-SIDE U

WEN U SEE 1 SET OF FOOTPRNTS IN THE SAND THT IS WEN I CARRY U!

She took it back from the dash and stared down a moment, her eyes filling with tears born of indescribable emotion. Then she blinked them away and glared up at the sky. “That isn’t even Yours! That poem was on the walls of half the houses I babysat for as a kid. Jesus, Biz, if You’re going to steal Your material, why can’t You at least steal it from the Bible like everybody else? You’re not even trying!”

ITS A NICE POEM

“I can pick it up at the car wash, stamped on an air freshener!”

GOLDN RULES NOT MINE EITHR BUT I LIKE THT ONE 2

SUE ME

“Do You think I can’t find a lawyer arrogant enough to try?”

R U DONE???

Zane took the phone from her hand and tossed it back into the console. “I’m about to give you both a time-out. My basic theology’s been through enough for one day, thank you. Patience, what are you doing? All you ever do is bicker with Him, and He just bickers back. The two of you are seriously starting to screw with my head.”

“Well, your head should be safe from now on, Zane, because I’m done. As far as I’m concerned, I have no need to speak to Him at all.”

“You’ve said so about a thousand times, but when I ask you why, I get twenty minutes on the atrocities of text speak or railing about His invasion into your personal space. I’m going to ask you a serious question now, and I’d appreciate an honest and thoughtful answer for once.
