     He laughed, and then turned to    
Johnson. “Check that farm out for me,  
will you Detective? The first chance   
you get and take some pictures, if you 
think it’ll help.”                     
     He then turned back to me, we     
shook hands, and before I could let go,
he took a firm hold and said, “I don’t 
ever want to see you again. I mean it.”
     I didn’t even smile, “Don’t worry.
I don’t have any desire to ever see you
again either,” and then we were gone.  
     We took the stairs down to the    
street, but I stopped at the first     
landing.                               
     “You son of a bitch!” I yelled at 
Johnson.                               
     “I mean, thank you, and it did    
work out, but damn it, what if it      
hadn’t you son of a bitch?!”           
     Bob and Sandy were getting the    
hell out there, but Johnson had stop-  
ped to hear me out.                    
     “Don’t worry. I had a back-up     
plan,” he said and waved thanks to Bob,
and I did too.                         
     I didn’t want to know what his    
back-up plan was, so I just let it go. 
He probably didn’t have one anyway.    
     “Do you really believe all that   
stuff you said about me and animals?” I
asked and continued down the stairs.   
     “Well, almost all of it. I think  
Beth is better than you, but other than
that, yeah, I do,” he said and followed
me.                                    
     “If you want, stop by Saturday and
check us out. You can see how happy the
bunnies are,” I said and then added,   
“We’ll have a barbeque, but no pork,   
please.”                               
     “Ok. You can count on it. I’ll    
give you a call later.”                
     “You’re still a son of a bitch,” I
hollered one last time before getting  
into my rental.                        
     I was chuckling about that as I   
drove, when I suddenly realized that my
name was now gonna be part of the pub- 
lic records and almost drove off the   
road.                                  
     I braked and just sat there for   
five minutes.                          
     How long before the reporters     
came, and then the angry mobs?         
     I started the car and couldn’t    
think of anything else for the rest of 
the day.
