“If you bring forth what
is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth
what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you,” Yēšûă
announced to the crowd, his arms spread wide.
The crowd were silent,
transfixed on the man before them.
“Today men are here who
wish to kill me,” he continued, to the gasping and whispering of the crowd,
“but they do not realise that I do not have your key to the Kingdom of
Heaven. I said it when I arrived
in your village, and I shall say it again, the Kingdom of Heaven is within
you. And so my message will never
die, as it is not of flesh and blood, but will live on in every fibre of your
physical and spiritual being. And
live on in every generation hereafter.
The message is immortal.”
“When do we get to kill
him?” growled Kofi Nelson under his breath, a former
Ghanaian-rebel-turn-elite-spy for the United States, and now working under
Spider’s team. “If we kill him now
people will know he has been murdered, and his legacy will grow.”
Kofi Nelson closely
shadowed Spider’s movements through the sea of people.
“That is why we’ll make
him disappear,” Spider smirked back at him. “Jude is out of the picture, perhaps finding out whether the
Kingdom of Heaven really is inside himself, and we have all the time in the
world. We’ll follow him after the
speech, and take him and his followers out.”
Spider put his two-way
radio to his mouth. “Team ‘A’ come
in, over,” he called.
As he pulled his finger
off the speaker, all that could be heard was static.
“Come in Team ‘A’, this
is Spider, over,” he said again.
His eyes darted about the
square and surrounding building tops.
“Team ‘B’, come in,
over,” Spider spoke into his radio.
However, there too was only static on the other end.
“Come in Team ‘B’, over,”
he repeated the order forcefully.
Still no answer.
Spider motioned for Kofi
to move around the perimeter of the crowd. “Jude is not dead,
apparently.”
“It takes a lot to kill
that man,” Kofi said.
“Screw you, Nelson,” said
Spider, spitting his chewing gum on the dirt. “Just go find Jude and kill him.”
