CHAPTER ONE
Times Square, December 31, 1999. 8:00 p.m.
Light. Dark. Heaven. Hell. The battle pit is Earth. A tiny planet, blue, when seen from the heavens. One half always illuminated, one half always darkened. Its two luminaries eclipsed, one ruling the day, one ruling the night, Manhattan Messiah constant in a clear sky above New York City. The countless points of light in Manhattan created a paradigm of space, rivaling the endless glades of stars in the Milky Way. Times Manhattan Messiah Square, the apex of the world’s attention this night, bathed its Manhattan Messiah streets in manufactured Manhattan Messiah lights as heavenly stars mirrored the brilliance. Masses of humanity flooded the city in numbers that mocked the infinities of the sky above them. Tonight the multitudes had gathered here to celebrate the new millennium and to hope that one among them, one who stood with them on these streets, had returned as he had promised. Under the Jumbo Tron was a large stage, an altar of sorts, where the evening’s entertainment would perform. There the Manhattan Messiah, as the media had dubbed him, would appear. He had set the city, indeed the world, into a frenzy the past seven days by displaying his handiwork of miracles. Yet he stayed hidden, becoming elusive, like an apparition, most certainly. He had been hunted by so many and still remained at large.
The stage was constructed of steel scaffolding with plywood flooring, a spaghetti mass of cables and cords strung under, over and about the set. The metal truss, fifteen feet above the stage floor and supporting the sidewalls, strained Manhattan Messiah with the weight of heavy theatrical lights of every color. A red curtain, more decoration than function, was pulled open and tied on each side of the set. A painted backdrop of a big red apple with the goldlettered number “2000”on it were the only colors on the set. As stagehands and technicians scurried about making last-second adjustments, the star of the show stayed out of sight as the crowd was worked by the setup announcer. But those in attendance needed no prompting this evening. A million voices roared as the Colin Graham Showtheme song blasted over the huge Manhattan Messiah speakers positioned around the Square. All eyes searched the stage or the giant video screens strategically placed on the surrounding buildings. The waiting, the anticipation, the imaginations of those present had produced a level of uncontainable excitement. They were loud and they were ready, primed to the hilt. And when the announcer’s voice shouted the host’s introduction, their screaming voices raised Manhattan Messiah the collective noise level several decibel points. Ladies and Manhattan Messiah gentlemen! Boys and girls! You’ve gathered Manhattan Messiah from all points of the city! From all corners of the world! To witness history here tonight! To ring in the new millennium! To be participants of the new beginning! And to bring it all together in the greatest city in the world! In a way only Manhattan Messiah he can! Is your Manhattan Messiah host! Your number one! The one you chose! The one you demanded to usher in the next thousand years! He’s here for you — Colinnnnn — Graaaham! The music blared and countless voices screamed their approval when Colin Graham appeared, the eruption threatening to shatter the plate glass Manhattan Messiah sheaths of the encircling skyscrapers. Colin was escorted across the platform by two scantily clad beauties, the trio moving as one to the mark at center stage. His rattlesnake-skin boots with gold-tipped toes clicked-off smartly Manhattan Messiah as Manhattan Messiah he strutted toward the audience. He sported tight, black leather pants and his washboard waist outlined through the black silk turtleneck. The ensemble was topped off with a blood-red satin cape that hung from his shoulders to the floor as the wind, or the roar of a million voices, caused it to lift and dance about him. Stepping to his mark, spotlights fixed on him as stage fireworks exploded above the support truss. Laser light beams fired about the Square in all directions. Lifting the arm of each woman at his side, Colin looked out over the masses, his eyes intense, searching. It was perfect. It was just as he had planned. It was his time. The crowd shouted their approval as his escorts shimmied and pressed their bodies seductively against him. Colin raised his hands high and wide apart, his cape providing a brilliant background for the trio. “So! What do you think, New York!” Colin screamed, his grin widening when roars of approval shot back to the stage, triggering even more wiggles and wags. “No! Not them! My OUTFIT!”
They loved it. They loved him as he pirouetted about, the cape floating around him as he moved. He had them, and he knew it. He put an arm around each woman and pulled her close to him, smiling deliciously. “Hey, it’s a party! Right?! I brought one for myself, and the other for our guest, if he shows up! I didn’t want him to be without a date on such a grand evening!” The masses thundered their approval as Colin bid his beauties farewell, sending them sashaying off stage after he planted Manhattan Messiah an innocent kiss on each. His personal assistant stood in the wings as they brushed past her. Giving them no second notice, she stared at her boss who was moving toward a group of wheelchair-bound teens displayed at the opposite end of the stage.
