*******************************
My father got into my car. We had just left the Police Station. He had called me from there, asking me to come give him a ride. When I got there, Dad wouldn't say why he was at the Police Station, or why he needed a ride. He just kept saying, "We can talk about this when we get into the car. So here we were in the car. I was looking at Dad, waiting for an explanation.
Dad said, "Start the car and drive."
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Out of the parking lot, for now," Dad said. So I started the car and pulled out of the lot. "Now, make a right, and go all the way around the block."
"I don't get it, Dad."
"Just do it, Bobby." So, I drove slowly around the block. Dad was looking out of the back window. When we got back to the parking lot, Dad said, "Now just drive straight for at least a half mile."
"Dad, what's going on? Why won't you talk to me? Why were you at the Police Station?"
Dad looked forward out the front window. He was expressionless. He said, "I think I killed a man tonight." I slammed on the brakes. "No. No. No! Bobby, just drive. Don't draw attention to us."
"Who do you THINK you killed, Dad?" I asked, trying to keep a calm tone to my voice. I wasn't successful.
"Bill Stockton, Nancy Stockton's husband. He's not dead yet. But I think he will be in the next ten days, maybe two weeks."
"What! Did you poison him, Dad?" I was having trouble focusing on the road and my driving.
"No, Bobby. We were in a fight. I hit him under the chin. I helped sit him down on his coffee table. It broke. And then, after he said that he was going to kill me and Nancy. I hit him in the ribs. And I think I probably killed him. At least, I was trying to kill him. But, I've never killed anyone before, so I can't be positive. But it felt like he started dying. I just hope they keep him in jail until he's dead."
I was deeply and desperately confused. "Dad? Where am I driving?"
"I'm sorry. Take a left and go down to Lancet Avenue, then double back with another left."
"Why?"
"I have to make sure we aren't being followed. And I didn't want to mention killing Bill Stockton in the Police Station for obvious reasons."
"But you said he's not dead yet." I was very confused.
"No. He probably just feels a bit heavier than usual by now," Dad said.
"And that's going to kill him."
"In just a few days. Maybe two weeks on the outside."
"How?" I asked.
"Dim Mak. The Death Touch. It's a Martial Arts technique. I've been studying the principles of it for about fifteen years. I've learned a few key strike points. But it's not so much about where you strike, but the intention you maintain as you are striking. It's a Chi Attack. True Masters can do it from a distance."
I turned on Lancet Avenue. "Is this something you learned in Aikido Classes, Dad?" I asked.
"No. It's not Aikido. It's a darker, more secret martial art. But I made contacts with a man through my Sensei. He was a meditation Master, and became my Sifu. He tried to lead me in the Way of Chi Gung, a Golden Path. I am a good student. And I had guessed at many of the fundamentals. So, eventually, this Master mentored me toward a method for massaging and healing Chi, and then some ways to block Chi attacks in a fight. Finally, I believe he knew he was dying, and he wanted to pass on his knowledge to a worthy student. I don't think I'm worthy. But he eventually taught me the key elements of Dim Mak, of bending and tearing Chi, and using my own Chi to form the basis of an attack."
"The Death Touch." I said.
"The Death Touch," Dad sighed. "I twisted Bill Stockton's Chi. I doubled it back and ripped it open. I tore a hole in his life force."
"I don't believe you, Dad." I doubled back on East Riverside. The sun was just going down across the river.
"You don't have to believe me, Bobby. He will either die or not die, no matter what either of us believe."
"How is he going to die, Dad? What do you think will happen to him?"
"I don't know. But he's marked now. So Death will find him. It could be a heart attack or a stroke. Or he might kill himself. That's why I want him locked up. If he dies while driving or something, other people could get hurt. Take a right here, Bobby. Go up to Bluffs Park."
"Dad, Mom is going to be worried about you."
"I called Marjorie already. I told her you would be driving me back to my car as soon as the Police were done questioning me."
"Where is your car, Dad?"
"On the street behind Nancy Stockton's house."
"Why were you parked there?" I asked, as I pulled into the parking lot of Scenic Bluffs Park. It sits along the eastern side of the river. It's a pretty spot to watch the Sun set. But the Sun had gone down a few minutes before. It was still twilight. The last time I had been up here at night, it was to make out in the car with a girlfriend when I was in High School.
Dad unbuckled his belt and turned to me in the car. He had a sad, worried look on his face. "That will take some explaining. Before we start, could I have a kiss, Sir?"
I unbuckled my belt and turned to my Dad. I could see this was serious. And I didn't understand his crazy talk about "The Death Touch." I reached with my hand to touch his head, and he closed his eyes. His head met my palm and he moved in slightly, like a kitten does to pet itself with your 'fingers. It was both cute and a little disconcerting. I asked, "Do you need an, 'I love you, Dad, and you can tell me anything,' reassuring kind of kiss? Or are you looking for a, "Kitten, you are very cute and sexy, and I'm glad you're my sweet, submissive, sissy-boi lover,' sort of kiss?"
Dad smiled, a thin, pained smile. "I don't know. A bit of both, please. More of the second, Bobby. I feel ugly. And Marjorie and I have been fighting recently and I'm afraid that telling her all this will drive another wedge between us." Dad closed his eyes and leaned towards me. So I kissed him. I kissed him tenderly, with just a hint of passion. My tongue traced along his upper lip and my thumb traced along his high cheekbone.
Dad moaned a sigh into my mouth. Then our foreheads touched, and he broke the kiss but kept our foreheads touching. He whispered, "I love you, Daddy. Your Puppy has needed that kiss for several hours now. I was very nervous at the Police Station. Although I stayed professional." He took a deep breath. "I probably should have called your mother to come get me. But...I'm very shaken up. And I just needed..." He kissed me again, lightly. "I just needed a kiss from my Master. I just need to know that whatever I say, I will still be your small puppy, Sir."
"What's going on with you and Mom?"
"Well, on Monday, when we were at Eugene's office, some things happened."
"A lot of things happened, Dad."
