Kindred Spirits II

[aDRUfan4LiFe]

Tamir and Woody were walking through the halls of the church before the meeting. They heard some rattling noises. It was coming from the kitchen area.

“I know we are the only ones here, I didn’t see anybody else’s car.” Woody said.
Tamir and Woody looked at each other.

“I know aint nobody trying to steal some food!” Tamir said and he laughed lightly.”

“Let’s check it out.” Tamir said to Woody.

“Alright!” Woody said in a whisper.

They slowly creeped through the double doors of the kitchen. As they looked around, Tamir saw that the fridge was open and he nudged Woody.

“Over there at the fridge.” Tamir whispered to Woody.

“This is pathetic! Somebody is trying to steal food?” Woody said in a whisper to Tamir.

Tamir put his finger up to his lips to Woody, asking him to be quiet. Tamir signaled his hand to Woody for him to follow him. As they slowly creeped over to the fridge, Tamir slowly pulled out his gun. Woody’s eyes went wide. Tamir put the gun in his hands and pointed it toward the fridge.

“Whoever’s in that fridge, drop everything and put your hands up!” Tamir shouted.

All of a sudden a glass jar of mayonnaise dropped and splattered everywhere. Woody jumped back when he saw the glass shatter. Tamir slowly creeped into the view of the person behind the fridge and his gun was pointed at…Pastor Devon!

Pastor Devon looked with wide eyes and shouted, “Don’t shoot! I was just trying to get a sandwich!”

Tamir put his gun down and started to laugh. Woody ran over, trying to avoid the mess made from the broken mayonnaise jar and helped up Pastor Devon as he sat in some of the mayonnaise.

“Man, we thought you were a thief!” Woody said.

“I was trying to get a little snack, I was trying to avoid the misses, so I parked in the back. That’s what I get for sneaking! Almost getting shot! Umm, umm!” Pastor D said and he laughed to himself.

Woody laughed because he knew that Pastor D’s wife, Jillian, wanted him to stick to his diet and exercise program, because he needed to lose weight.

Nokio just shook his head.
Woody helped the pastor up and Nokio found the broom and mop to help clean up the mess.

“Hey aren’t you supposed to be at the gym?” Woody said to Pastor D.

“Don’t remind me!” Pastor D said to Woody.

“You got an excuse to go now, look at you! You are all covered in mayonnaise! Go home and change your clothes, and take yourself to the gym so that your wife won’t kill you!” Woody said.

“We got it man. Go home.” Nokio said to Pastor D.

Pastor D looked at both of them and said, “Sorry that I startled the both of you and I caused all this commotion.” He looked at Tamir and said, “Man you bad! I definitely want you on my team! You don’t fake with that gun!”

Tamir laughed and said, “It’s all training, man!”

“Alright, I’m gone!” Pastor D said as he took some paper towels and wiped some of the mayonnaise off of his clothes and proceeded out of the back door.
Tamir and Woody breathed their sighs of relief.

“Pastor D is a trip!” Tamir said to Woody and they both laughed.

“This is just one of his crazy things he does from time to time.” Woody said.

They both looked at the mess they volunteered to clean.

“Yuck, I hate mayonnaise! I don’t know why I volunteered for this!” Tamir said as he frowned.

Woody just laughed. They cleaned the mess, and talked while they waited for the meeting to start.

The meeting started about 12:00 that afternoon. At the meeting there was the security staff, Pastor D, his wife Jillian, and Tamir, Jazz, Sisqo,Scola and Woody. Once everyone got settled and the meeting had started, Jillian said the first statement.

“I am truly disappointed in this security.” She said and she looked around at them. Everyone continued to be silent.

“As all of you should know, the pastor was approached by an angry man after the play and security wasn’t around to protect him.” She said.

“But I calmed the man down, eventually.” Pastor D said .

“So, we are gonna sit you guys down for a while and replace you with the women security…” the security men had looks of disguist on their faces.

Jillian looked at their faces and said with disguist, “ I know ya’ll are not trippin! I…
Pastor D interjected and stood up to say,” We were gonna replace them with the women, but since we have Tamir and his crew, they are gonna be my personal security.

Tamir, Woody, Sisqo, Jazz and Scola looked at each other with ‘they didn’t know’ looks.

“Ya’ll with me?” Pastor D said to Tamir and his crew.

“Yeah we down! Scola said and the rest of them agreed.

“The women are still gonna take the rest of you all’s places for the rest of the month.” Jillian said. The security all grumbled.

“Maybe ya’ll learn to be on your job! See you next month! The meetings over!” Pastor D said in a stern tone. As everyone got up to leave the pastor called out to Tamir and his crew and told them to stay.


Tamir and the crew all sat near the pastor.

“I know I sprung this on all of you today, but I prayed on it. Definitely after yesterday.” Pastor D said and he looked at Tamir.

Tamir laughed. “But in all seriousness,” Pastor D said, “you all definitely have a strong bond of friendship.”
They all looked at each other. “And I need this bond to protect me. Friendship is powerful and I definitely can feel that you all have a strong connection.”

“But I haven’t seen them in several years until about two days ago!” Tamir said.

Pastor D looked at Tamir and said, “You were the missing link, that’s why God sent you back here to Baltimore.”

Then he looked at all of them and said, “ You have a mission to complete together, but I am not real clear on what will happen. But I know that all of you being here at this moment is not just chance.”

They all just looked at each other.

“Well…why don’t we pray about it.” Pastor D said. He said the prayer and then peace came over them and they felt their bond of friendship get stronger. They all gave each other hugs and started to talk, when Tamir’s cell phone rang.

It was Mira on the phone with someone in the background crying hysterically.

“Tamir you got to get here quick!” Mira said. “I think we got a lead on who’s being causing problems at the church!”

Tamir left the church with Jazz and they headed to Tamir’s office in downtown Baltimore near the harbor.

They both ran up the stairs to Tamir’s office. Jazz was impressed, but he kept it to himself because of the situation.

Mira was in Tamir’s office with a young lady who was lightly sobbing with tissue in her lap.

Jazz got a good look at her and said, “Samantha?”

Samantha looked up at Jazz and shook her head ‘yes.’

Jazz gave her a hug and sat down beside her, while Tamir said across from her in his chair.

“What you got Mira?” Tamir said as he looked up at Mira who was standing beside his desk oh his right.

“Well… she said, through crying, that she knows the person, she thinks is behind all this crap that’s happening. She thinks it’s her ex boyfriend.”

“I know it’s my ex!” Samantha said.

“How do you know this?” Tamir said as he looked at Samantha.

“I know he was the one who approached Pastor D the other night., and I know that he was there when the pastor announced that someone had thoughts of killing him.” Samantha said.

“What is his motivation? Why does he not like the pastor?” Tamir asked Samantha with a serious look on his face.

“Well…it all started when a friend from work told me about the church. I was going to my ex’s church at the time and it was quite routine. The same ol’ pressuring of giving offering, the fake elders gossiping about folks, people, so called ‘speaking in tongues’ and running around church like they was high on something.” Samantha said and she laughed.

“But,” she said, “ I was getting tired of it and started to go to my friend’s church.”

“My ex –we had been together for about a year- decided to follow me to Pastor D’s church because he was tired of the crap also.”

“We were going strong for a while, but then it happened…” Samantha suddenly stopped.

“What happened?” Mira asked Samantha with sincerity in her voice.

“I started to change…I..I can’t explain it.” Samantha started to sob.

“After I went to a relationship seminar, and got good information and shared it with him, I guess I started noticing some things about our relationship and started to let him know and he didn’t like it. We were living together, and I told him to leave.”

“ He was really upset! He started saying things about Pastor D, how he ruined our relationship, and he started to say little threats about how he was gonna hurt him. I think he mentioned something about killing him. I though he just said that because he was angry. But when I was at church and Pastor D mentioned it, I immediately thought about him.”

“I then looked in the audience and spotted him when I was singing with the praise team.” Samantha said and then she looked at Jazz.

“He had the look of pure hatrid in his eyes! I couldn’t even believe it!” Samantha said and she buried her face in her hands. Jazz then hugged her tightly.

“Where can we find him?” Tamir asked Samantha.

“I don’t know!’ Samantha said. “But I do have a picture of him.” Samantha digged into her purse and pulled out the picture. She then handed him the picture.

Nokio looked down at the picture. His eyes zoomed in tightly on the picture and a look of shock filled his face. “SISQO?”
