Chapter Ten
					The Car Ride
	"Tell me Zac, where in god's name have you been?"
	"Ike all I know is that I was in Laser Quest one minute and then I was
in Tulsa in 1876."
	"Zac, Tulsa wasn't even established yet."
	"I know, Le told me that, it is or was a trading post."
	"How did you know that, it's not like you to do research for a prank
like this."
	"I told you Ike don't know. All I know is it was in the past and Lee, got
killed. she got killed right before I came back."
	"Who is Lee?"
	"Lee's a girl I met, she helped me foil Billy."
	"Billy?"
	"Billy the Kid."
	"Stop the bullshit Zac." screamed Ike as his right hand came up and
slapped me in the face. I was shocked, Ike had never acted like this. We were
stopped at a stoplight. So I just got out of the car and started running as fast
as I could toward the building that held the city records. I went here and
looked up information on Rosalee Mayner. It said:
	Rosalee Maynor was the victim of Billy the Kids wrath, she and a male
accomplice tried to keep Billy the Kid from stealing the towns wealth. She
was found 25 miles from here in a small cave. She was found dead with a
wound from a gun to her head. Her accomplice was never found.
	I just stared. It really did happen. I thought, it really did.
	"Zac?" I heardd Ike call.
	"Look Zac I'm sorry for hitting you it's just don't lie about...." he
stopped midsentence as he bagean to read the file I had pulled up."Zac is that
who you were talking about?"
	"Yes," I whimpered.
	"My god Zac, you were talling the truth. I'm so sorry. Please forgive
me."
	"Okay," I said,"I'm just really shook up. I need some time to think."
	"Zac, just don't tell anyone. They would think you're crazy."
	"I know, I'm not that stupid!!!"
	"Okay, let'd go home now little buddy or mom and dad'll get worried."
	I nodded my head and just stared at him.
	"I know, don't call you little buddy your names Zac."
	"Zachariah," I absent mindedly muttered.
	"Zac, you really have gone crazy."
	"Shut up brace face."
	"Finally you're acting like you. I though someone had abducted you
like aliens."
	"No Mr. Sci-Fi, that would be you."
	"Whatever you say!! come on lets go."
	"Okay," I said. I started to walk out when I realized I had left my
jacket at the computer. When I walked back I saw Rosalee sitting in the
chair.
	"Rosalee?"I asked with disbelief.
	"Yes. It is I."
	"What are you...."
	"Zac, I'm dead, yet I died unfulfilled. I wasn't peaceful at mind. I wasn't
 allowed to enter heaven until I was thourghly at peace. I set up that whole
time warp thing. Whether you had come or not Billy would have killed me. I
need you to do something for me so I can be at rest. I don't reside anywhere
just in a place a place that allows me to have no rest. I can visit heaven and
earth and hell, but I can't stay forever, I've been almost cursed to wander till I
am peaceful. Zac, you don't know how awful it is to have a taste of heaven,
yet not be able to stay there. Even staying in hell would be better. It isn't
eternal damnation either. It's a place for bad souls to go to learn to love god,
and they will stay there till they learn and when they do they enter, heaven.
Zac I need you to free me of this. So I can enter heaven. I need you to get this
published."
	She handed me the complete and finished copy of her story.
	"I'll try."
	"Zac, I'm counting on you."
	Then she just became thin and transparent and a wisp of smoke rose
where she had been. I stood there clutching her story and doubting my sanity.
