CAN'T WIN 'EM ALL!
By; Speaker Gerald A. Polley

The Ancient One and his companions flew far south in their homeland.  They had not been doing much bashing and whacking, but the economic havoc they had caused by exposing the mismanagement of a great trading company was winning them more victories than any of their other efforts.  The Ancient One landed in a very afluent neighborhood.  Expensive houses surrounded them.  The Ancient One checked the sky.
"Well, that clock we flew by back there was about ten minutes off.  My contact should be here with the documents and tapes.  This is very odd."
The Ancient One held out his hand and turned slowly.  "He's over there," he remarked, "about two miles away."  He took off and his companions followed.  They landed by a Mercedes parked behind a building.  The Ancient One approached, and the driver looked up.
"Figured you'd find me!"  the driver remarked.
"What's going on?"  The Ancient One asked.  "Where's the documents and the tapes you promised?"
"Can't do it," the man remarked, "can't betray my friends.  Thought I could, but I can't."
"We made a bargain," The Ancient One snapped.  "I'd do something for you, you'd do something for me.  I did my part, now you have to do yours, or I may have to undo my part."
"you can't do that," the man in the car answered.  "I'm going away, where you can't reach me.  And when I'm gone you won't be able to do anything.  I'm the one who broke the bargain.  You can't undo what you did, it just wouldn't be your nature!"
The Ancient One shook his head.  "You know there's no place on Earth," he argued, "that you can escape from me, no place I can't reach."
The man smiled.  "There's one," he answered, "there's one place even YOU can't go!"
He suddenly brought a pistol up to the side of his head and fired.  The Ancient One's female companion shrieked and The Ancient One snapped "S**t!"  His male companion walked over to the car.
"How'd he do that so fast," he asked, "so we had no time to react?"
"He didn't," The Ancient One answered.  "He momentarily froze time around him.  See the crystals on the seat beside him?  He learns fast!  He won't last long where he's gone.  Come on!"
They flew acrossed the scity to a very expensive school.  "Wow!"  The Ancient One's male companion remarked, "The mama and daddy's of these kids have got the bucks!"
The Ancient One again stretched out his hand.  His companions quickly followed him.  They ended up in a very large swimming pool where about fifteen boys between the ages of 11 and 13 were frolicking.  The Ancient One went up to the ceiling and began to work on one of the light fixtures.  One of the boys was lazily swimming off by himself.  The Ancient One broke the wires to the light and it went out, and he took hold of the last bolt that held the large fixture in place.  His female companion came over and grabbed his hand.  "No!"  she snapped, "No!"
The Ancient One stared at her then at the young man in the water below.  When he had swum off, The Ancient One pulled out the bolt and the light fixture plunged to the water with a great SPLASH!  and, a loud HISS!  All the boys gave startled cries and hurried from the pool.
"These fixtures need to be replaced!"  The Ancient One remarked.  "This will get their attention then they'll fix the rest of them.  Let's go!"
His companions quickly followed him.  "You're not going to do anything?"  his male companion asked.
"You can't win all the time!" The Ancient One answered.  "Sometimes you have to lose.  It's very rare anybody gets the best of me.  I'll be watching, I'll be waiting! If he steps out of line I may still deal with him.  But for now they've won.  He's right, I can't undo what I did, not without more reason.  Come on!  Let's find these ecstacy makers.  I want to shove one-hundred tablets of their own product down their throats, and see how they react!"
"Oooooh!"  The Ancient One's male companion moaned.  "Bad mood, REALLY bad mood!"
"Yeah!"  his female companion agreed, "REALLY bad mood!!"
They continued the hunt, though the rest of the night was strangely silent.
