COWBOY BEBOP DEMON STYLE
-CONCLUSION-
How can I get rid of this Dude I thought to myself. He was getting so comfortable and didn't look like he was leaving any time soon.
"So...Jasper I hear this place is Haunted with Hank Williams' Ghost?"
He looked me in the eyez in a positively Wicked Gleeful manner...Barry perked up at the question.
"This whole Planet is Haunted with Ghosts...Humans are so full of themselves to think they're the only ones here." He winked at me.
That was an interesting response.
At this point Barry leaned over on the bar to face Jasper to my Left.
"I was in a Dallas Texas Dive one time and this Bar Fly read my Palm. She wasn't just guessing either...the shit she said about me was right on point."
"That right?" J responded and winked at me again.
"What really Spooked me was she rattled off things from my past and Predicted she would see me again when I least expected...I got out of there fast!"
Jasper looked at Barry and then at me.
"What do you think about that PeeCee?"
I was immediately shook...I didn't tell him my name especially this nickname that only family and friends called me.
"How do you know my name?" He had my full attention.
"I know a lot of things."
"Elaborate on that Please." I was creeped out.
"Well there are some Humans that God saw fit to give a special insight and abilities." His light-colored eyez sparkled with interest.
"Like What?" Barry asked.
I knew all along what Jasper was hinting at but waited to see what he would reveal to us.
"Some Humans have the ability to see beyond these earthly bounds and know they are not the only ones here."
Jasper watched my reaction then glanced at Barry.
"For instance I know your friend here is cheating on his wife and about to leave her for another woman." He grinned smugly.
Barry look stunned and a little frightened.
"WTF...how do you know that?" He demanded.
Jasper smiled and gloated, "I know lotsa things."
Things were getting dicey and I did not like it a bit. I knew of Folks who were said to have The Gift...for instance my own Grandma Lucy was said to have it although she would never admit to it.
But, Grandma Lucy always said there was a way you could root out Fakes & Imposters. Jasper wanted to play hardball so we would play hardball.
"Okay J tell me something about myself that no other 'living soul' would know." I watched his reaction.
The most Evil, Wicked, smile spread over his face and lit up those light-colored eyez...they appeared to glow red.
Jasper stood and Whispered in my ear.
I felt all the strength drain from my being as his words processed in my Brain.
Jasper began to laugh so loud nearby people looked our way in curiosity.
The Laughter echoed endlessly around me.
I don't remember much after that except that me and Barry got outta there Quick Fast and in a Hurry.
EPILOGUE
Barry and I did many projects after that and there was Always that inevitable question; What the Hell did Jasper Whisper in my ear that night?
I'll Never Tell.
