The Rescue of Lucy Fer

Chapter 2 Joe and Chris
 

 
There was a light glimmering on the high ceiling above the bed that was like a curtain of light unfolding to show a starry sky. The hazy light with all different colors focused into forms with different shapes. There was a murmur in the air around him. The hum turned to a buzz and to familiar words.  “Joska madàrkàm”. A feeling of deja vu enveloped him. he had heard these words before now images of his childhood were surfacing from the depths of his memory.
 

 
He awakened as if from a coma and slowly realized that he was with his son Chris in a crowded room. Many people were there celebrating and rejoicing. Looking into their faces and into their eyes, he could not recognize any one except for Chris.  He was in a bed covered in a white robe. Everyone else standing around him wore similar white robes. He knew he was in heaven and recognized it as his home. He was back home.
 

 
Most of the welcoming committee were people reported to be his ancestors. He was introduced to his grandmother who looked just like he remembered her 4000 years ago when she refused to get baptized or to open a Heaven Inc. account and committed suicide.  
 
“Joska madàrkàm, she whispered in Joe`s ear. I am so glad that I am not away and I am here with you celebrating your long awaited return.”
 
“Grandmama, you are just like I remember you.” Joe uttered.
 
“We missed you so much” she replied.
 

 
Chris was unable to wait any longer and jumped in giving his father a hug and tugged at his long white beard. “Welcome home Dad, 20 years have passed by since you have arrived. Most recover from death in a few months, but you are the first one that returned with a 4000 year old life to review and recover from.”  
 

 
“How is Lucy doing?” Joe asked. Chris`s face turned suddenly pale.  
 

 
“I`m afraid I have some bad news” Chris stuttered. “Mom won`t be coming home. She has been incarcerated for life along with a few of her followers. After they executed you for killing me, Mom started a movement of a few followers who started to kill their own children to have their brains disconnected like you were able to do by killing me. Gabriel was able to use his influence and to prohibit on humanitarian grounds the death penalty for any offence. Lucy and her 12 followers were instead charged in court and sentenced to serve life terms in a high security prison they built just for them called Hell.
