THE CHAPTERS
Joe
Hardy nearly fell out of bed trying to reach his ringing cell phone.
As he picked up the device, he glanced at the alarm clock beside
his bed.
“This
better be important,” Joe said into the phone through clenched teeth.
“It’s only
“But
its Christmas morning, my boy!” replied a cheery voice.
“Uncle
Robert?” Joe asked in amazement. “What? Where are you?”
“In
Haiti, of course,” Robert Daniels replied.
“I was thinking how much I’d love for you to see this place.
Beautiful, really!”
“Ah,
about your offer, Uncle Robert,” Joe began, assuming that was what the
older man was referring to.
“Forget
that, Joe,” Robert said with a laugh, “I was being much too selfish.
I should have thought about a family long ago.
I’ll just have to live with my decision to stay single.”
“It’s
not that I wasn’t flattered by your invitation,” Joe offered, feeling
relieved, “but I don’t think I could leave my family and friends
behind.”
“I
called to give you a Christmas gift,” Robert said, abruptly changing
the subject.
“A
Christmas gift?” Joe questioned.
“I
can almost picture your face right now, Joe,” Robert chuckled.
“Yes, a Christmas gift. It
is Christmas Day, after all!”
“Yeah,
that’s right,” Joe smiled.
“I
want you to come on the yacht with me for a week this summer, all
expenses paid,” Robert stated. “The invitation is for you and Frank.
You just have to pick a date and we’ll finalize the plans.”
“That
sounds awesome!” Joe enthused. “How will I get hold of you once Frank
and I settle on a date? I mean, your cell phone doesn’t work on open
water.”
“Call
1-033-943-0987. That’s my
friend in
“Thanks
so much, Uncle Robert,” Joe said. “I really thought you would be mad
at me…”
“Absolutely
not!” interrupted Robert. “Joe, you are a terrific kid.
That brother of yours isn’t so bad either.” Robert chuckled
softly.
“I
was wrong to make such an offer to you and I hope you’ll forgive me,”
Robert added.
“There’s
nothing to forgive,” Joe responded. “No one else knows about it and,
like you said, we’ll just forget it.”
Joe
bid his uncle goodbye just as Frank poked his head into Joe’s bedroom.
Joe looked up and gave Frank a big grin.
“Are
you delirious or something?” Frank queried.
“What are you doing up so early and who were you talking to?”
Joe
enthusiastically told Frank about Robert’s phone call, leaving out any
reference to Robert Daniel’s original proposal.
“Sounds
great,” Frank smiled. “I’m
sure we can make time for a week of sailing on a yacht in the
“I’m
too keyed up to go back to sleep,” Joe said “Why don’t we surprise
Mom and Dad with a Christmas morning breakfast in bed?”
“Sounds
like a plan!” Frank agreed. In
minutes the Hardy brothers were racing down the back stairs to their
family’s kitchen.

Robert
Daniels stared at his cell phone for a long time.
In his mind, he could picture his great nephew very clearly.
He could imagine Joe rushing to tell Frank about the proposed week
on the yacht.
‘It’s
not what I wanted,’ he thought, tapping his index finger on his chin,
‘but it will still be fine. Yes, things will work out just fine.’

Marvin
Walker had joined the ‘Brotherhood of the New Moon’ four years ago.
At that time, he’d been working in the kitchen of a greasy-spoon
diner in
Some,
like the girl he was with the previous night, used their real first
names. Others made up names
or assumed a name suggested by another member.
He sat in his motel room Christmas morning, drinking black coffee and thinking about Jill. He knew she was very young; probably too young for him to be interested in. But she had a lot of potential. He had decided to help her pass her initiation and get promoted, no matter what it would take.
‘Watch
out, Joe Hardy,’ Grease smiled. ‘I’m
comin’ to get you.’
