Bible Carrier  [First Page - Previous]

<<<   To make a long story short, I was caught again. I arrived at the customs just before it closed and found myself the sole traveler. The two guards on duty gave me their undivided attention and the male guard called for me even before my bag exited the scanner.

A few other guards emerged from the back, all looking tired. I tried to talk to them but they looked irritated and none wanted to talk.

Bob took those 5 Bibles to the safehouse, and having been separated from the other Bible carriers, didn't have enough money for the ride back to the border. So he walked back, being accosted in the dark by prostitutes, limbless beggars run by gangs, an attempted pickpocket and  >>>
