Chapter Thirty Seven:
"Have a good day,Dr Murphy,the security guard said as he left the
the building."You too,Murphy replied.As he made his way down the step to his car,Dr.
Samual Murphy saw the police officer standing in front of his car.He approached him
saying "Officer Brackett? How've you been,its been awhile.What can I do for you?"
"I'm not gonna beat around the bush with you Sam,Brackett said.
"I know whats going on.I know about Phoenix.I know about Joshuah,SNAILGUIN...
EVERYTHING! What I DON'T know is what exactly Joshuah has planned,or where
they've taken Snailguin.I'm NOT in ANY mood to hear an excuses either,so you might
just wanna spare me the B.S.,and tell me what I wanna know."
For several seconds Murphy just stood there silently."Sam,I swear
to GOD,Brackett said,dont play any DAMB games with me. For starters I wanna know WHERE
SNAILGUIN is." Murphy replied "Look,Darryl,dont come down here trying to play tough cop.
You have NO idea what you're getting into here.Best thing you can do is turn around right
now and lea-" " I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE,Brackett interrupted.I suggest you start talking
Sam or-" "Or what Brackett said. "You'll arrest me? Based on what?I'd only be out in an hour
and your department would be facing the biggest damb LAWSUIT,you've ever seen! Besides,
if I betrayed Phoenix...well... like I once told Will,THESE aren't people you wanna cross.
YOU dont have to be involved.Go home.I promise I wont say anything about this little
"conversation".
"Sorry Sam,but I think you know I can't just ignore this,Brackett said.
"What do you mean 'these arent people you wanna cross'.What do you know Sam? Have
they ever KILLED anyone? If thats what you're worried about,I'll make sure you're well
protected.I can help you....for God's sake Sam,I'm willing to help you,but you gotta get
outta this.You gotta give me something Sam." Murphy laughed."What makes you think I
WANT out.I'm not some "victim" who was forced into anything,I joined Phoenix willingly.
They're NOT bad people Darryl,they want to change the world,change it for the better.
Maybe someday you'll see that.If not..oh well.But I'm LOYAL to the cause,so if you think
you're gonna come down here,flash your badge,and think that's gonna make me-"
"Has Joshuah ever killed anyone,Brackett asked.You said they arent
people you wanna cross.HAS he ever killed anyone? Or had anyone killed." Realizing that
Brackett wasn't going to leave Murphy found himself wiling to give him SOME information.
"No, he said."Joshuah's taken a vow,never to use violence unless forced.It's a strict
policy of his.But dont think he's an idot,he DOES have ways of dealing with people,he's
VERY well connected.you have no idea just HOW well." "Ok, Brackett said,how DOES
Joshuah deal with people then?People who he sees as the threat I mean." "Well,Murphy
said,there's a facilty he owns up North.Its a prison really,never been up there myself,
but Joshuah has made quite a few people "disappear".That's where they end up.Dont
know exactly WHERE it is,but I'm told it's no place you wanna end up."
"Please,Darryl,please,Murphy said."Turn around,leave right now,and
I'll forget all about this.I DON'T wanna have to make a report to Joshuah." Brackett smiled.
"Oh,I dont think you'll be telling Joshuah ANYTHING.And you're GOING to tell me what I came
here to find out.I HATE to play DIRTY here Sam..but you dont give me any choice now do you?" "What are you talking about,Murphy demanded.
As the elevator door opened Joshuah stepped out.Snailguin however,
seemed reluctant as Joshuah tried to pul him along after him. turning toward him,Joshuah
said "Whats wrong Snailguin?" "Nothing snailguin said,it's just that well..I dont think you'd
understand." Joshuah smiled. "Wanna try me,he said. "Well,Snailguin said,it's just that....
they hated me.Every one of them.They hated me joshuah.I know the people inside,even
the "police" were all acting but..the crowd.They threw things...called me an alien.They
HATED me."
"Snailguin,Joshuah said."We're DIFFERENT you and I.And because we're
different,their will be those,who hate or mistrust us." Joshuah Snailguin said."At least
YOU look human,but look at me.I'm...this.You do very well with people... but me? They
HATE me Joshuah. And they always will,Snailguin said sadly.
"Snailguin,Joshuah said."I can assure you that NOONE HERE hates you.
You have friends HERE,and its because they ALL like you,not because they HAVE to.
That's what makes PHOENIX so different,there's alot of wrongs in the world that need fixing,
and WE'RE gonna do it.As for ousiders well,yes they will hate you.They'll misjudge you,and
call you names.But that's a temporary condition,I assure you.Someday,when we've done
the world SO much good,they'll look at you,all of them,and have no choice but to see you
as you truly are. So,you know what? If you deal with people on the outside,and they're
hostile to you,I'd like for you to think of it as history.Because someday it will be.And do
you know what history IS? History is something that is captured and owned in the pages of a book.But the FUTURE,well THAT belongs to you.Because you're the Snailguin.Always
remember that."
"Thank you,Snailguin said."I was feeling well...discouraged." "I understand
Joshuah said.'Now.Whats say we have another training session at the gym,and then,I'd
like to show you the nerve center of our little facility here. As my right hand,you'll be
spending quite a bit of time there...and wait til you meet Nancy.She's in charge of
operations when myself or Marcus arent around,she's a very nice woman,you'll love her."
Snailguin nodded,and then Joshuah proceeded down the hallway,pullling Snaiguin along after him as he went.
