The egg roll-shaped device was his working prototype for a much larger device he hoped to build for the motherland upon his triumphant return to Beijing. Dr. Lee crouched behind a mound of dirt outside the lab at Los Alamos and pressed the large red button to detonate the device.
Nothing happened.
Dr. Lee let loose a stream of colorful expressions. After a few moments, he buried his face in his hands and sobbed Why? Now my shame will not be erased. I have dishonored my ancestors.
Just then he heard a familiar voice. It was Ho! What was she doing here?
Dont worry Dr. Lee. I have a plan to acquire all the secrets we need to make our weapons effective. As she spun on a spiked boot heel to leave she looked back over her shoulder and said, You might want to grab a fire extinguisher Lee. It looks as if Ho Lees Smoke has started a little fire.
Sho no we goin tah Mena taget dedrugs
Oh yeah, Mamas medicine run! We best hurry Jim Jim! Good thang we got a faster ride this time.
Jim Jim hopped into the back, freshly upholstered with new AstroTurf®, as young master William mashed the gas pedal to the floor.
Whoo-eee dat dun go real fast!
Thats right, Jim Jim. My Rooskie friends says theres plenty more where that came from if I just help them out a little when they need it. Women too. Is this a great country or what? Its like, Money fer nothing. Chicks fer free. I cant wait to see what Hos got to counter-offer to work for our Chinese friends.
Bill smiled wide as he thought of another negotiating session with Lieutenant Quang Ling Ho of the Peoples Liberation Army.
Da plane boss. Jim Jim grunted from the bed of the El Camino.
Ah yes, what a country indeed. Bill thought as he watched the package land on the ground by the railroad tracks. Bill sent Jim Jim over to retrieve it when he noticed two teenage boys watching the medicine pick up. He made a mental note to himself that hed better talk to his state trooper friends about keeping everyone away from his Mena medicine delivery area. They might want to take his precious medicine. It was The Precious, and it was HIS!
