Title: Billy Bingo Is Scared That The Virgin Mary Might Be Caged
Billy screamed, “We can’t not help her. That would not be acceptable. We have to help the Virgin Mary.”
Billy turned on communications to Olympus. “Yo, Jesus, you hippy bum, pick up your god damned phone. And get Zeus there with you.”
Bess said, “I am pretty sure if I called Jesus a hippy bum, I would go to hell.”
Jesus spoke, “Billy, you have the angels giggling. I’ve told you to never talk to me that way.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have got a problem. VM and Hera are on their way to Whitehead and Baretown that was destroyed. That area is now under the control of Belial and Satan. They could be in danger. We don’t need another two Gods caged.”

Chapter / Episode List of the Heathville Serial
Billy Bingo and Nat Wilkins sat in Nat’s bedroom. Today they were going to go on a nature hike through the Hotville Swamp. Or at least that is what they had planned to do. Natalina, Nat’s mom, had agreed to take them. Daniel Bare had planned to take them but he was investigating the boat explosion that killed Professor Wilcox, Bachus Wilcox, and Mini Wilcox.
Billy’s mom Maureen and his sister Bess were coming down from Conyers to go with them. They were bringing Tommy Harris and his brother Jimmy who was more the age of Billy and Nat. Tommy was more the age of Bess although they did not like one another.
Billy looked in the mirror. “I want this to be a fun trip and yet I feel something is wrong. I think I need to go to my command center and check on some stuff.” Billy picked up a bat and baseball. He threw the ball into the air and then he hit the ball toward the glass french doors. When the ball hit the doors, the magical, metaphysical room, the room he called his command center, appeared beyond the french doors. Billy opened the doors and entered the room. Nat followed.
Billy said, “Now Nat, if you ever need to open the room when I am not here, you have to hit that particular ball and use that particular bat for the room to appear beyond the french doors.”
“Okay.”
Billy and Nat examined the monitors. Then suddenly Billy saw something that alarmed him. “Oh, fucking, shit, hell.”
Billy heard his mom’s voice. “What have I told you about cussing?”
“Not to let you hear me cussing but I didn’t know you were here.”
Natalina was with Maureen and Bess. Natalina said, “This is what I was telling you about. He is growing more powerful.”
“It is amazing.”
Bess whispers, “Billy scares me.”
Billy said, “We have got a huge problem. Where is Mayor Hollis?”
Mayor Hollis appeared out of no where. “What is wrong Billy?”
“VM’s spaceship is heading toward Whitehead and Baretown.”
Maureen asked, “Who is VM?”
Hollis ran to the monitor. “Are you sure that is the Virgin Mary’s spaceship?”
“Yeah. And it looks like Hera is on the ship with her. This is not good. I know she and Hera are powerful and all but she does not have backup. And what if Belial is there. He could cage them. We can’t let this happen.”
Bess looked up toward the ceiling. “My brother knows the Virgin Mary? How could I have him for a brother?”
Nat asked, “What are we going to do?”
Hollis said, “If we go to try to help her, we could all end up caged.”
Billy screamed, “We can’t not help her. That would not be acceptable. We have to help the Virgin Mary.”
Billy turned on communications to Olympus. “Yo, Jesus, you hippy bum, pick up your god damned phone. And get Zeus there with you.”
Bess said, “I am pretty sure if I called Jesus a hippy bum, I would go to hell.”
Jesus spoke, “Billy, you have the angels giggling. I’ve told you to never talk to me that way.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have got a problem. VM and Hera are on their way to Whitehead and Baretown that was destroyed. That area is now under the control of Belial and Satan. They could be in danger. We don’t need another two Gods caged.”
“Okay. Zeus and I will do what we can?”
The communication ended.
Mayor Hollis stared at Billy. “What if they get caged. You may have just put Olympus and Heaven in danger.”
“Yeah. Whatever. I need your spaceship. If there is a fight. I need to be part of it.”
Maureen said, “No. Billy.”
“I have no choice.”
Hollis said, “I will go with you.”
“Good. Good. Let us get to the spaceship. We don’t have time to waste.”
Maureen stepped into the metaphysical room. Bess followed. She looked at one of the large, flat screen monitors. “What do all those flashing markings represent. Why are there names with those markers.”
Bess asked, “Is this a map of a cemetery.”
Billy said, “This is a map inside of Whitehead and Baretown. The markings are of all the souls who have been caged there.”
Bess asked, “What do you mean caged?”
Billy said, “Souls can’t die but they can be caged. And when caged they sometimes fall into a sleep that is almost like death.”
Maureen pointed, “Barry Whitehead has been caged?”
Billy said, “Yeah. It looks that way.”
Maureen looked at Nat and then she looked at Natalina. Maureen knew that in Barry’s most recent life he was the half-brother of Nat. The father of both Nat and Barry was Johnathan Whitehead who Natalina had dated for a period of time. Maureen said, “If there is any way you can free him, then you need to free him.” Maureen whispered in Billy’s ear, “He is Nat’s half-brother.”
