Introduction
Sunday
September 14

Evangelist Cornell Reynolds and his Divine Battalion Mission of the True Light speaking on Man's greatest abomination before God: homosexuality.

(Excerpts from his KTTU-TV broadcast at 9:00 a.m.)

"… And so, brothers and sisters, I leave you with the Word of the Almighty Himself, from Genesis 19, verse 11, which states very clearly and concisely the Lord's position on this grievous matter. It says: ‘And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.'
God bless you all and keep you well."


Chapter 1

Monday
September 15
10:14 a.m.

Emma McPeale felt her heart freeze in a tight knot of panic as the suspicious looking pair entered through the bank's double glass doors. Ohh, no. Not again, she thought in dismay. This was the third time in less than forty-five days her branch of Crocker National had been robbed. No doubt in Emma's mind what these guys intended. Danger exuded from them in palpable waves.
     They were both tall, broad-shouldered, either African-American or possibly Hispanic. She couldn't tell for sure. Both men wore dark wool caps pulled down low over their brows and turtleneck sweaters pulled up to cover most of their mouths and noses. They dressed in thick army fatigue jackets, dark jeans, gloves and those Chuck Taylor sneakers her son, Jeremy, liked to wear. The taller of the two had a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. Their clothes dripped beads of water...

(And from Chapter 11 we hear from the thugz...)

After the shower, he padded naked into his and 'Toine's bedroom and chose a fresh outfit to wear: a faded, Pelle Pelle black denim two-piece sweat suit with whtlow and red lettering on the jacket, a dope pair of brown suede Adidas slip-ons, and his gold nose ring. Downstairs to raid the kitchen.
     'Toine had made a batch of his famous ghetto stroganoff the night before. Paulo removed it from the fridge and reheated it, luxuriating in an aromatic bowl of purple kesh buds while he waited. The o.g. came home just as he was finishing his scrumptious meal and cleaning up. 'Toine rushed over and engulfed him in a hug, kissing the kid full on the mouth and holding him close.
     "Missed you, dog," Paulo whispered heavily. "Damn. Missed you."
     "Got a surprise for you, my nigga." Fixer Man let the kid go and gave him a mysterious grin. One arm hooked around Paulo's shoulders, he led him out through the service porch and into the garage. "Wasn't sho' when you'd be comin' home or I'da waited. But…" He clicked on the light switch. "Wah laaahhh!"
     Paulo was dumbstruck. "Whoaaa."
     It was a gleaming, fire-engine red, 1998 Porsche 914.
     Lakestar rims all around. Sunroof. Tinted windows. Abellanosa looked over at 'Toine's grinning black face.
     "Bulletproofed, by the way," said the o.g. "Bought it off an Eastside D-boy yesterday."
     "How much?"
     'Toine frowned. "What's it matter?"
     "How much, 'Toine?"
     The older gangsta looked sheepish. He shrugged. "Five eight."
     "Fifty-eight thousand?? You spent fifty-eight thousand bucks on a car for me??? 'Toine, I—"
     "Hell, dog. Who knows how long them pigs gonna fiddlefuck around with yo' '88?" Paulo turned and leaped at Fixer Man, throwing both arms around him in a ferocious hug. The money meant little. The thought was what impacted. His eyes grew suddenly teary, the last few days finally taking their toll, unsure why. Eight months in San Bruno for hustling sex hadn't affected him emotionally. Perhaps he'd had nothing to lose back then. Perhaps he feared and distrusted good fortune. Love. Maybe he was just tired and happy.
    They went back inside, Paulo stopping in the kitchen to finish putting dirty dishes and silverware in the washer. Fixer Man came up behind him at the sink. The o.g. wrapped his strong arms around the kid's waist and goatishly pressed his pelvis into Paulo's butt, working his hips in a slow, languid churn. The motion caused the boy's belly to rub up against the sink's edge. Fixer's nose and lips brushed lightly against his scratchy dreadlocks.
     "Leave that shit fo' later," said the older thug huskily, his animal nature steadily swelling his pleated dress trousers, the vulgar hardness warm and intrusive on the Venezuelan youth's ass. "We gots other biz'ness to attend to right now." Paulo gave a low and earthy chuckle. He arched his back catlike, wagging his rear teasingly from side to side with a lopsided, sly grin, feeling 'Toine's manhood respond with increasing rigidity.
     Abellanosa's face and the crotch of his airy denim sweats both rose in temperature, the front of his pants twitching restlessly as his penis lurched to life. With a hissing intake of breath, he jutted out his lower jaw and gently pushed 'Toine's hand down to engulf his package, bearing witness through the power of touch. Greedy brown fingers caressed and worried butchy denim and silk and engorged flesh. Paulo felt 'Toine's heated breath scorch his neck. Felt his fingers slip beneath the elastic band of his sweats and snake their way inside his underwear.
     "Ssssst. Don't squeeze too hard, papi. I'll blow off in my fuckin' pants."
     "That would sho' nuff be a shame," quipped 'Toine in a dry tone. "Then I'd be forced to give that dizzy bitch, Billy Cole, a holler. Invite his slutty ass over to put his soup-coolers to good use." The mood instantly shattered.
     "Fuck Billy Cole." Paulo, suddenly angry, thrust his rear end back hard into Fixer Man's groin and pushed off from the sink, spinning about-face to glare at him. The Black gangsta grunted and clutched at his privates, his face reflecting his sharp discomfort and surprise. "What'd I say??"
     Paulo's nostrils flared. His gray eyes blazed with naked hurt and anger that seemed to boil up from nowhere. "Why you gotta bring that horse-faced maricon's name up now? You fuckin' the muh'fucka while I was in jail? Huh?? Is that why you went out and bought me a new car?" The older thug gawked at him like he'd lost all sense of reality. He took a placating step toward Paulo, reaching out to him, only to be spurned with an angry shove. "I asked you a goddamn question!" The youth's lean body was wound tight as a coil and trembling. 'Toine didn't retreat. He stood his ground, stubby fingers gingerly touching the tell-tale rise in the front of his trousers with his bald head angled a little to one side, gazing at his volatile partner with a look somewhere between detached puzzlement and amusement. Noting the look, Paulo's expression flared incendiary.
      "You think I'm a joke, 'Toine?"
     "Naw, baby," The Black gangsta struggled to hold back, failing. A snorting chorkle escaped him. Seeing Paulo's incensed reaction, he quickly threw up a halting hand and rushed on. "Naw. You ain't no joke. You crazy, that's what you is. It's that smokin' Latin blood in yo' veins. Whew! Since when was Billy Cole or any other sideline plaything an issue between us?"
     "It's an issue now," answered Paulo, gray-fire eyes boring into his older partner's, "and I want an answer. Was you packin' that puto faggot's ca ca while I was sittin' in jail?"
     "No. I wasn't." Fixer Man gazed at him calmly and levelly. "I was just clownin' you, P. But..." The o.g. coolly turned from the fuming kid and went over to take a banana from the fruit bowl on the table, heading out toward the family room. "Obviously," he added as a parting shot, "Billy's a sensitive issue wit' you, My bad, yo. Next time I get horny fo' fag bootie I'll go stick my dick in one'uh them prissy-ass, Castro White boys with the fussy toy poodles."
     That was it. "Don't brush me off and strut away, muthaFUCKA!!" Fixer glanced back just in time to see Paulo barreling towards him from the kitchen, scarlet dreadlocks streaming back, face a furious scowl, clawed hands stretched out in front of him. He launched like Spiderman onto the rugged o.g.'s back, the two of them tumbling to the thick shag carpet in a grappling roll, recklessly thumping into end tables, potted plants, the cluttered coffee table. An expensive lamp wobbled, tipped over and clunked to the floor beside them. A wild foot kicked the entertainment center and sent a dozen CDs and DVDs clattering.
     'Toine cackled like a lunatic, halfhearted in his efforts to fend off his hot-tempered boy's flailing arms, fists, knees and feet. He'd goaded Paulo, as he often did, relishing the burst of raw, rough, physical emotion. There was a blunt and almost brutal sweetness to man-to-man sex 'Toine rarely matched in his pairings with women. Men were innately greedy and demanding—in bed and out. Bottoms just as commanding as tops; slaves as daddies. Pleasure was conquest.
