THE 4MIDABLES: HOW THEY CAME TO BE by DON YOUNG
From Don Young, writer for the iconic ‘Inspector Gadget’ series, meet THE 4MIDABLES, a superhero series like no other!
(EXCERPT) “Every guy here was checked out! How come I’ve never seen you before?” eyes not moving from Rafael. “For all I know, you got on the roof to try to steal a few bars.”
“Got on the roof?” Rafael grins. “Like Captain America?”
“I never saw you come in! Did you, Josh?” Josh shakes his head. Drew looks at Rafael. “So, either you tell me who you are, and who sent you, or I’m making a phone call. What’s it gonna be!?”
“Okay, I’ll save you the call.” He turns, looking like he’s deep in thought. Then he looks at Josh. “Do you know how many people there are in the world, Josh?”
“Okay, now you’re wasting my time!” snaps Drew, reaching for his phone.
“No, I’m not, you’ll see.” looking at Drew. Then he looks at Josh to get his answer.
Josh shrugs. “I dunno, at least six billion, I think.” “Not a bad guess, Josh. But there’s over eight billion.” Now Rafael looks at Drew. “How many of those eight billion people do you think know the signs that you two guys put on the transport were for California Produce?”
The look on Drew’s stunned face blares ‘This guy’s for real!’ and his macho demeanor is ?ushed as Rafael looks at Josh to get his reaction. Ditto. “Alright, now let’s get out there and see how they’re doing!” Rafael snaps and walks to the door. Josh quickly opens it and Rafael walks out, followed by the stunned guys. Drew jogs to catch up to Rafael, who’s looking closely at the activity, not caring now who’s looking at him.
“Sorry about that, man. Can’t be too careful. Uh, I’m Drew.” offering his hand with a respectful smile. Rafael offers his hand with a nano-second look – that’s all Drew’s getting – because his focus is on the workers taking the gold bars out of the armored truck.
