"Pervert?" Mac was outraged. Ok, technically he had always been a pervert. Right now, however, in the line of duty, he was on his best behavior. Apart from the 'hand on thigh'.. but he kept assuring himself that was an accident. "All I get since arriving is abuse. Ok, first you trick me by being all nice. A drink? Sure, thanks! Anything else? Oh, yes.. a couple seltzer tablets. Thanks again. Then.. THEN.. you drop the bomb about hearing voices from the unborn children.. which, by the way.. if we are going to speak of padded cells.. Sister, those dudes in the white coats would be far more interested in you, I promise!"<br/><br/>Despite his tirade, the minister couldn't shake the intense feeling inside. Pushing, prodding him on. It was like a door finally opened and God himself was saying.. 'Ok, boy.. you wanna play preacher? ZAP!'.. filling him with.. something. Something unusually inspiring.<br/><br/>"Clara, would you please button your blouse? For your information, your husband to be was the one who unbuttoned it. Trying to help you! Believe you me, I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole.. or cross! What was all that crap earlier, laying your head on my shoulder? Yes, I felt sick when I got here. Why? Was it really any of your business? I just did! Is this your way? Schmooze then start hurling accusations? I was consoling you. When some console, they pat a knee. I patted your knee, and I relaxed and it was an honest mistake. But pervert?"<br/><br/>I gotta get out of here, he thought. Headlines of 'Minister Throttles Pregnant Woman' flashed through his mind.. with an image of him holding her on the ground.. his hands on her neck, hers on his. Another with Dukey standing over him with a shovel in his hands, him out cold. Another with Clara holding a gigantic shotgun, smoke pouring from the barrel, the minister with a cartoon-like hold in his torso, looking down with a grimace.<br/><br/>Sinking down onto the ground, Mac crossed his legs and lit a cigarette. "Why oh why did they send me here?" Dukey, he thought, run! Run fast, run and never stop. Get as far away from this woman as you can possibly get!
