Part 6: A Short Story - The Mysterious Man

As He arrived in the city he had one agenda on his mind.  His job was to come and be the man to clean up the mess others had made.  His clothes were a rugged look  finished with snake boots to match the outfit.  As his plane landed in the airport he grabbed his bag and left the plane.  The stewardess went through the plane and checked to make sure nothing had been left  by the passengers.  He was the last one off the plane and as the lady checked the seats she noticed he had left a book on his seat.

She saw him before she leaned over to grab the book.  She looked and the man seemed to disappear like a mist.  A warmth went through her as she grabbed the book off the seat.  To her shock it was a worn Holy Bible, which she had never found left on a plane before.  She looked inside the bible to see if there was a name inside the cover, just the words, "Trust Me!"  She decided she would keep it in case the man had boarded a flight back.  She just didn't want to part with it, there was something unique about this Bible.  She left it on the plane in case he might come back for it. She wiped a tear from her eye and laid it in plain view.

Paul spent the day in the courtroom going through some proceedings and then met with his ignorant lawyers for the rest of the day.  Ever since his dream about the man asking him to trust him, he started having some different views about what he had done and about the way he had lived his life over the past  couple of years.  He knew there was no turning back to correct the past.  He knew his life would be spent in a prison with others who had done worse things than he had. But life isn't fair and what he had done had finally pierced his heart.  How could he get through this mess without his friends and his loving wife? He was alone and felt unloved and still he hadn't realized how he had alienated everyone else through his ignorance.

 Pauls cell phone finally rang he hesitated to answer it, but he finally gave in and said, "Hello!"  The man on the other end sounded familiar and he said, "Is this Paul?"  Paul answered, "Yes it is! What can  I can I do for you?"   "This this is Gerald from the coffee shop, I have felt sorry for you and have decided to help you out."
"I really don't need any help, maybe some prayers!" Paul said.  Gerald said he was sending a man his way to give him some legal advice.  Paul told him he had a team of lawyers already, but Gerald said he needed to meet with this guy of his and hear him out.  Gerald asked him when he could meet him and Paul hesitated and said he could meet with him right now. "I'll send him over right away!" Gerald said quickly.  Do you know where I am staying?" Paul said. "Yes, I know where you are at!" stated Gerald.  Paul hurried and said "How do you know where I am at?"  "Trust me, I just know and so does he!" said Gerald. Then the phone went dead.  Paul went limp as if he was being watched by somebody and that his life had been in the view of everyone. He has been the talk of the town and the topic of every cable news channel, his privacy had been destroyed and he was the main cause of it all.  To be continued.....
