Apollyon MARATHON: Part 1 – Chapters 17 to 21 (Left Behind)
Rayford grabbed Ernie by the collar and pulled him close, feeling the rage of a parent against a threat to his family. “So you’re an impostor, hey, Ernie?” Rather than fighting, Ernie tried to hold his hat on with both hands. Rayford let go of his collar and drove his hand directly under the bill of the cap. Ernie flinched, obviously thinking he was about to take an uppercut to the nose, and released his grip just enough so Rayford sent his cap flying. No wonder Ernie’s mark had appeared so prominent. He had refreshed it with whatever he had used to create it in the first place.
“You’d fake the mark, Ernie? The mark of the sealed of the Lord? That takes guts.” Ernie paled and tried to pull away, but Rayford grabbed the back of his neck and with his free hand pressed his thumb against Ernie’s bogus mark. The smudge rubbed off. “You must have studied Tsion’s teaching really well to replicate a mark you’ve never seen.”
“What the heck is that?” Bo asked, seeming frozen to his spot.
“He faked the mark of—”
“I know all about that,” Bo said, his eyes wide with fear. He pointed past Rayford. “I mean that!”
Rayford looked into the distance where the cloud of smoke was turning into a swarming wave of locusts. Even from a few hundred yards, they looked huge. And what a racket!
“I hate to tell you this, gentlemen, but you’re in big trouble.”
“Why?” Bo cried. “What is it?”
“One of your last warnings. Or another trick by the fundamentalists. You decide.”
“Do what you want, Bo!” Ernie said. “I’m gettin’ outta here!” He lit out for the tower, which apparently appealed to Bo too. When Ernie had trouble opening the door, Bo skidded into him, plastering him against it. They both went down, Ernie holding his knee and whimpering. “Get up and get in there, you sissy,” Bo said.
“Yeah, well, so are you, you big sissy boy! Sissy boy Bo!”
