Letters From The Wasteland--Installment 4-Part5
David B Doc Byron

Installment 4# Part 5#


      I sat there for a few minutes, my head
resting in my hands, and pondered on what to do.
I wasnt one thta usually pondered over any damn
thing; I was usually one of action.
But considering I had the nun sitting over there
scared shitless, I knew I had to be more discreet about
the way I handled things.
One of the first thoughts that had come to mind had been
grabbing old Jed Clampett and kicking the shit out of him
with the soles of my Nikes, stomp my initials into
his forehead, but considering the firepower he had,
I had declined from doing so.
I decided to talk to the nun for awhile; try and
calm her down. God knows, we both could have used
some calming down.

   I lifted my head up, and broke the uncomfortable
silence.
''Not to be nosey, sister, but whats your name? Mine
is JR Walker.''
She seemed standoffish at first, but then told me.
I think she was embarrassed about her name. I know
that I had been about mine in the past; every time
I had told anyone my name was JR, they had damn
well immediately been reminded of JR Ewing on the
TV soap DALLAS. Those are the type of folks, who,
if they had dynamite for brains, couldnt blow
their nose.
Fuck 'em.
''Hannah. Hannah Wilkes.'' When she said it, she put her
head down as if ashamed.
I tried to break the ice, make her feel better.
''I like that name. It was my grandmother's name.
She was a religious woman too.'' I wasnt lying.
I missed my grand nana Sophie. She had taken me in
after my mama had died and my daddy had flown the
coop and done the same.
''Really?'' she asked. ''It was your grandmother's name?''
''Yeah.''
''Did she like it?''
I could tell she felt awkward about her name, so I
lied.
''Oh yeah, she liked it. And proud of it. It had
been her mama's name, too. She thought it had...
character.''

     The nun cracked a smile, and for a brief
moment, we both felt better.
I hadnt noticed it until then, but she was quite
young for a nun. I had always pictured a nun as an
old witch of woman with a ruler in her hand slapping
kids hands like the nun in the Blues Brothers movie.
Its funny and pathetic both the ideas that cross
your mind as a kid.
This nun was sweet, and pretty.
''How old are you, Hannah?''
''Twenty one. Ill be twenty two next month. If, I
live that long.''
''Dont worry...you will. What made you become a nun?''
''I thought I could help people. But Now, after all of this,
Im not sure this world is worth the trouble.''
I almost told her I didnt blame her, but I didnt.
I didnt figure I had the right to tell a woman of
the cloth jackshit about life and it's choices,
after some of the shit I had pulled in my lifetime.
I had gone out in search of the perfect life away
from the one I had, the one I had created for
myself, willingly, so I opted to watch what I said.

      ''Well, sister, I think whatever is good for
you is good for you. Ill leave it at that. But,
just remember, not everyone is the same.''
''I know that, JR. By the way, your name is the
same as my mother's favorite character on a TV
show she used to watch. It was called ''Dallas.''
I acted as though I took the remark as a compliment,
then made a suggestion.
''Sister, Ive got an idea, if youre willing to play
along. About getting out of here.''
Her eyes lit up. ''What is it?''
''This old fella seems to be kind of flighty in
the head, so I bet I could trick our way out of
here, bluff our way out. Are you game?''
She sat up and clapped her hands like a little kid
who just found out they were going to the circus.
''You bet! Im ready to get the hell out of here,
excuse my french.''
''No problem, Hannah, if you can excuse mine.''
''Deal,'' she said.

      We shook hands like little kids doing the
blood brother and sister thing, then I stood up
and walked over to the barn door to get old Jed
Clampett's attention.
If my plan worked, we would be out of there real
soon.
As I walked over to the barn doors, I did something
I hadnt done in a long time. Out of respect for
the sister, you know.

I prayed.
