Epilogue

Solomon Dancer had to wait several weeks before he worked up the courage to visit the graves of his friends.

His mother went with him to the graveside memorial service for Sybil in Oregon, but she waited for Solomon at the Jerusalem airport, while he paid his respects to Isabella and searched for Eric. The last he heard, Eric was missing in action. He looked for a grave for Eric, but could not find one. He went to the land office. They said there was no record of Eric having been buried. With his arms crossed, he was determined to get an answer. He wasn’t really that tough. Standing alone, the familiar tears rolled down his cheeks. The stories of Americans dying in Israel put a big hush on the planet.

He dropped on his knees. “Hey, God, I don’t really know what to say except Eric did it for you and his girl.
The
news of an unidentified American being missing in action is sad. I know it was Eric. Got everyone thinking about peace and the such. If it wasn’t for
the
witnesses, they might not have even known he was an American. I didn’t say nothing to nobody about where Eric disappeared. It’s not about
the
recognition. The action needs to be seen without any distractions. I get it. He had a message to give.”

Looking at Isabella’s grave, he reached over and placed his Bible by her headstone. “This is for you, sister. I put your name and birthday in it, just in case no one knows why you are buried in Israel.”

“I know hostility is going to happen again and again, until the real battle is supposed to begin. You and Eric held off the evil one for a while. Good job. Heck. Great job! What a way to go out.” He started to walk away and then turned his head back. “One more thing, if Eric is with you, tell him that I’m turning my life over to Jesus completely. I mean, really. Like he did. Hopefully,
that’s
one more soul for the good guys.”

He turned back fully to face the grave and saluted. “Like some people say, put a good word in for me
wit the
big guy upstairs. Nah? He is more than a big guy. He is the creator of everything. Tell him that I’m going to start teaching people to be prepared for war and give out the truth, so we’ll have more warriors. I wish I could keep Armageddon from happening. Maybe someday, I can visit
wit
you again. Thank you.”

He wiped his tears away and walked back to his waiting mother, with his head held high.

Solomon Dancer was just beginning his journey.
