Completeness

Chapter Sixteen

At that Moment Mary was busy having the time of her life.

The Galoong were at again at the seers. The Geelong tagged as they were also curious to know the outcome of the infection that was injected unwisely by the Galoong.

“I have nothing for you. Time will tell how powerful the human will be. Continued us of his powers will strengthen him especially tasks that are extra energy consuming or being in situations that would otherwise kill him.”

“You are not clear.” The Galoong chief lamented.

“I mean like hold up a ten tonne mass for a whole day with one hand or spending 24 hrs under water.”

“Right now he is not aware of any abnormality in him, but he will. It is just a matter of time.

After closing up shop. They all loaded themselves into the van and went shopping. The goat was picked and James had to accept his compensation from Naomi. No amount of resistance could dent Naomi’s resolve to cover the cost of the party.

They got to Jane’s place at around 6.30.  The goat was rushed into the trees before nightfall darkened everything. Ian had a powerful touch that could blind someone with the intensity of its beam. The goat was quickly tied up between two adjacent trees and from the look of things; the spot was popular with goat murderers.

Peter offered to sharp the knifes and he brought then to a razor sharpness that anyone would not have been able to achieve. Since he had seen goats being slaughtered at home, he requested to give it a try. They accepted and even if the hide goat got damaged to make it unsalable  due what they believed would result from lack of experience, was not big deal as it was Peter's goat. To the bewilderment of his companions, Peter had the goat naked of its hide under one minute. Perfected skinned with the hide intact. Removing the bowels took 30 seconds. In a minute and a half, Peter had a naked goat hanging before them and the innards lying on the skin on the ground.

It was convenient that there was a hose pipe available. It was connected to that tap in the compound and was brought to where the goat was. Peter connected the pipe to one end of the big intestines and forced the greenish content out the other end leaving them clean. The small intestines likewise. Once cleaned he put them in a big plastic bucket for just that purpose. The stomach was cleaned with the same efficiency. The gall bladder extracted and the liver lay clean.

Ian and his group stood speechless as they watch the one man job being conducted with unimaginable  speed and efficiency nether seen before. In five minutes all that remained was to cut the goat into small pieces which they insisted to do. Peter had done more than enough. The job of cleaning the intestines is a job many people detest and with that over. The rest was smooth sailing.

Back in the house, Naomi likewise had taken over the kitchen leaving her companions open mouthed. She first squeezed the juice from the pile of lemons she had bought.

“These are for roasting the goat and for softening the meat while boiling.” She worked as explained to the team but it was if she was talking to herself. The lemons were squeezed at a rate that left the ladies astounded. A hundred lemons were squeezed in  less than a minute. Potatoes likewise. Onions where cut up with the same speed tomatoes faced the same fate.

“The meat will be here any minute and I wouldn’t want to be the reason the cooking has been delayed.” Naomi explained.

“But, Naomi, am sure the men have not yet slit the goats throat. It will about 45 minutes before they show up.” Jane argued.

“Believe me Jane, the meat is on its way here.”

“Before Anne could retort, Timothy led the men with meat for boiling and frying. The ribs were left outside for roasting.
