Epilogue
II: I Gotta Go See A Guy…

*****

The
Cardinals scored a touchdown, and the bar went wild.

“Damn,
I wish Gabe were here to see this!” Greg said under his
breath as he made his way to the men’s room. “I’d
love to see him eat his words!”

He
hadn’t been very surprised when the game began and Gabriel
still hadn’t arrived; surely God’s Messenger had better
things to do than sit around a smoky bar drinking beer with a bunch
of guys and watching the Lions get hammered by the Cardinals on
Pete’s large screen television.

He
pushed open the men’s room door and got the shock of his life.

Gabriel
was standing there in all his angelic glory, right there in the
middle of the men’s room at Pete’s Tavern.

Greg
froze for a minute, staring.

The
angel wore a long dark blue cloak brocaded in silver thread over a
black silk shirt and matching trousers, which were tucked into
knee-high black boots. The hilt of a knife was visible above the top
of his left boot, sheathed there as protection against enemies that
Greg couldn’t imagine. Gabriel’s trumpet dangled
from a hook on a silver chain link belt worn loosely around his
waist, and Greg was struck with sudden realization: Oh dear God
above… he’s the angel who’s supposed to
blow his horn on Judgment Day… and that’s the
horn he’s going to blow! But even more amazing were
the enormous white wings rising up behind the angel… if Greg
hadn’t believed before, he certainly would have been convinced
now.

“Hello,
Gregory,” Gabriel said.

“Uh…”
Greg said, pushing the men’s room door shut behind him and
locking it. “That’s… that’s really
some outfit, Gabe,” he finally managed. “Don’t
you think you’re kind of… um… overdressed?”

“Yeah,
I’m not staying. I gotta go see a guy… give him a
Message.” He shrugged. “You know –
that’s what I do.”

“Oh.
Right.” Greg couldn’t stop staring at those big white
wings… he even had a bizarre urge to reach out and stroke
them, to run both hands down them, but he resisted. He knew
instinctively that Gabriel wouldn’t appreciate being petted
like an animal, though he had a suspicion that the angel would have
tolerated it from Katie.

“How’s
Katie?” he asked, deliberately clasping his hands behind his
back.

“She’s
fine,” Gabriel assured him, sounding amused. “She’s
in Heaven – how else would she be?”

“Yeah.
Dumb question.”

“I
just stopped by here to see you real quick – I didn’t
want you to think I forgot,” Gabriel said. “You
know, about the game today.”

“It’s
OK – I figured you had things you had to do,” Greg said,
nodding.

“Next
time, though,” Gabriel promised, extending his hand.
“Yeah?”

“You
bet, Sport,” Greg told him, shaking his hand and giving him a
friendly slap on the shoulder. “Oh, hey – you know,
Altman’s been indicted on four more counts of child molestation
and four counts of murder in the first degree… some campers
found the bodies of those four little girls you were talking about.”

“Gosh…
I wonder how that happened,” Gabriel said innocently.
“Maybe a little bird told them.”

“Yeah
– or a great big one!”

Gabriel
tried on a wounded look. “Who, me?”

“I’m
not buying it, Gabe.”

“Aaaah,
Katherine convinced me to do it… I just whispered in their
ears while they were sleeping, and the rest is history.”
He cocked his head at Greg. “I guess you’re
representing him, huh?”

“Nope.”

“Really?
Why not?”

“’Cause
I quit, that’s why. There’s an opening in
the DA’s Office and I’m going for it.”

Gabriel
smiled. “That’s terrific, Gregory! I
think Katherine will be really happy about that.”

“I
think so too. And I kept in touch with that student of hers –
Mary. I’m going to do some pro bono work for her tribe.”

“I
remember Mary,” Gabriel mused. “From Chimney Rock.”

“Yeah,
she told me some of that,” Greg agreed. “So, are
you ever going to tell me that ‘lawng stahwry’ of
yours, Sport?”

Gabriel
nodded. “Yeah – next time, OK? I really
gotta take off now… go see that guy.”

“All
right. You… uh… you fly careful.”

“I
will,” he promised. He opened his wings and Greg took a
step back, shielding his eyes against the blinding white light that
suddenly surrounded Gabriel.

When
he looked again, the angel was gone.

Greg
suddenly remembered something. “Hey, you know what?
The Cardinals are wiping the field with Detroit!” he
said into the empty bathroom. “How do you like that,
Gabe?”

The
thought appeared in his mind as smoothly as though it had been his
own: Aaaah, they still stink!

Greg
laughed and went to unlock the door.

FINIS.
