TRUST

 The rash on Cole's arm had finally gone away..but there was still a trace of red on his forearm where the Buzz Lightyear character in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater had touched hm..

and it still itched two weeks later..as Cole had "agreed " to tithe one half of his income he made working at "The Org" -to the "org" which had agreed to

set up a payment schedule that would

only take 9 % of his take home pay to

pay in installments for his

Level 2s through 4s

Cole could not even afford a Dr.for the still itching, strange rash

but than again Neuronautics didn't believe in "doctors"

as "Self Rectification" was just one of the mystical rewards of

a Mentored Mind Program

Cole loosened his tie and unbuttoned his dress shirt

to better see how his "Self Rectification" was coming along

While the swelling had gone down

it still itched sometimes like crazy

and Cole wondered

if his intermittent scratching if observed by a Mentor

might further reduce him to

Street Greeter.

Cole removed his notes on his Initiation Period from the Oingo Boingo album

they were hidden in

Cole looked around the apartment to see if anyone had

placed anymore objects in it

or had left any traces of

"visitation"

Cole slapped his head and realized that his album collection

would

or could

be a" Tell"

as he ,now looking at the room as if he was an Interior Intent Officer

suddenly Coley realized he had no

turntable to account for the Vinyl

he would have to quickly get one......

not wanting to use a computer

he had handwritten his notes about his experiences as a Neuronautics "inductee"

and every other day or so would

edit them once again freehand....in a separate notebook

hidden in Elvis Costello's "Trust"album sleeve

Cole began editing

writing in more readable script-"There was an inner child type of Cloak and Dagger One-upmanship that often seemed to be the very point of the "Org's" existence.

when

seemingly out of nowhere

he clearly heard

a Voice say

not quite from outside his head and somehow not quite within his ear

"um...I think it might read better if it reads "There IS an inner child type of Cloak and Dagger One-upmanship..Don't you.Cole?"

Evan Rainy literally Rolled on the Floor Laughing

until he got caught up in the wire

that connected his headset to the computer

that transcribed the nano in Cole's nervous system that had finally

transcribed enough of Cole's synaptic signaling

to establish a

Clear,Comprehendible

Brain Computer Interface...
