positions.  Just as Moses uttered the command of 'ready', from the 
somewhere on the roof, he heard, "Moses, baby."  Reflex made him look 
up in time for the hollow-point that hit Alma first, knocking her back 
into Moses, causing the surprised women to scatter and causing Moses to 
draw his gun, while screaming.  Too late-rapid fire tore into his back, 
through his chest making him look like ground hamburger.  As the ladies 
crowded around, someone shouted, "Ladies, you can continue to follow a 
dead Moses or the Living God."  More shots rang out and everyone 
scattered, leaving the dead child (Moses was 17 and his oldest guard, 
Alma, was 21) dead.  (Rest in peace.) 

Tina and Louise were cowering in the alley, down the street from the
shooting scene.  As they spoke about Alma's death, Tina handed Louise 
some of the cash she snatched from Moses' body.  In barely audible 
whispers, she told Louise that once they were sure Moses was dead the 
'guards' tried to pick him clean of cash, jewelry, and anything else 
they could grab.  As they parted company, Louise (16) wondered how her 
family would react to her home-coming. 

The only one happy to see her was her brother, Al (25).  While having
coffee one morning she told him of her back-to-school plans and he 
asked her to leave her time with Moses as just a bad memory.  She was 
still trying to discover how he knew Moses' name as her brother boarded 
his bus back to college, promising to write. 

Two months later, Louise read a letter from Al who was visiting friends
in Virginia, when she heard a news flash about a pimp found in the 
streets, dead with one bullet to the forehead, the neck, the chest, the 
stomach, and to the one area most men don't want hurt.  NEVER ENDING 
STORY?
