Vinnie Deegan opened his eyes as he heard the doorbell. He had fallen asleep as he was watching the football game.
" Get down Rodger Dodger" he said to the white cat who was resting on his lap. The cat jumped off and he got up and put on his black slippers. He walked over and barely opened the door. " Yes".
" I saw your ad in the van section" said a short pudgy man who wore glasses. " The ad was about a white van for sale".
" Oh yes" he replied as he pointed toward the closed garage. " I will come out and show it to you".
He put on his tennis shoes and his brown summer coat. He fully opened the door and now with the stranger behind him, walked up to the garage door. He took a key from his key ring and opened the door. It revealed a small white van with no markings.
" It's not a very large van as you can see" Vinnie said as the two of them slowly walked around it and studied it. " Why did you need it for?".
" I'm going to use it for a delivery service that I'm going to start" he said with a grin as he took a wallet out of a back pant pocket. " I'll take the van and I would like to pay cash for it".
After the sale was finalised, they walked toward the end of the garage. The stranger glanced over toward one corner of the cluttered garage. " Are you going to use that pile of rope?".



Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
