Chapter Nine
Frank smiled.
'I'm Catholic; I'm not Jewish. I have friends in some places in Michigan. This city is a miasma of gases from the Industrial Zones; gazes that infiltrate the factories. My father was a welder; my Mom was a housewife with feminist leanings, politically speaking. She attended rallies, then Watergate happened. I didn't want to weld; I didn't need that job, because I'd follow in my Dad's footsteps. I'm not a cop; or a detective; or someone who gets things done, eventually. Because of the Munich terrorist attacks at the Olympic Games in 1972, and the Isreal athletes dead, the World changed; America changed. In short, the Middle East is aflame in intense violence. America has its own crime rate. President Richard Nixon was in China, and he wanted to show the World that we are strong; we are not weak. It's a stuff up from The White House down. Michigan, the state, is down the savage road to damnation', Frank said.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu6wsnkPQX
'The Jews have been fighting Palestine since nineteen forty-eight, and nineteen sixty-seven during The Six Day War. I am Jewish, and I attend prayers at the Synagogue. I love art, movies, letter writing to my family and friends; I am not watching things go away into the abyss', Diane said.
'What about the your family?', Frank asked her.
'They're in Isreal. They're old school. And were educated back in the nineteen thirties, and nineteen forties. Adolf Hitler killed six million Jews during the Holocaust during World War II. The Nuremberg trails made sure that the killers paid for their war crimes. I made sure that my future wasn't there, but in America', Diane stated. Frank listened, as she answered him. 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznCXQQYYa7
'I'm glad you're with me, Diane', Frank smiled.
And she kissed him.
