Chapter 11
Early the next night it was dark. The moon was not over the horizon yet. It was hot, and the crickets sang loudly. Fireflies danced, and flew from shrub to shrub, from grass to tree. Their lights blinked magically.
Morty arrived at the lilac bush. He began sending vibrations to Stretch.
“Come out Stretch, its Morty Angel.”
“I can’t believe it,” Stretch wiggled back in excitement. He inched his way out of the soil as quickly as he could. When his head finally popped out of the ground, he spit out a mouthful of dirt.
“Torch will never believe this.”
“Where is he?”
“He’s been flying from one yard to the next. Every night he sends signals hoping to find you.”
Morty began blinking his halo. At the same time, he put his hand on the ground near Stretch.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m sending the fireflies a signal with my halo while I’m sending the same signal through the ground to every earthworm in the county,” said Morty. “I’m thanking Torch for calling me. Now, what is this message?”
Morty listened closely while Stretch told him the story.
“God told me you are to deliver this special message,” said Stretch.
“Please promise to give it to Ben as quickly as you can.
“It’ll be easy,” said Morty, “I see Ben every day. He is my special child.”
Morty thanked Stretch for giving him the message, and for working so hard to find him.
“Now, if I can only find Torch to thank him personally,” said Morty. “I have to go now, please tell Torch how sad I was to miss him.”
“I will, but first, I’m going to take a long nap.”
Morty took off to find Nancy. Along the way, he wondered why God chose to send the message through Stretch. Usually, He just tells Michael the Archangel to reach him by Sentra Vision.
