Chapter 14: Like a Muppet, Only Deeper

"We do not need to search for Robin Williams. He's a master at puppetry and isn't this how we are being played? LIKE NEOPHYTES ON THE STRINGS OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LUNACY? He'll chew us up and spit us out! I can't take this anymore. For all I know, we will end up in jail for stalking Robin Williams. Or, OR," Julia ranted as she slowly began losing her mind, "We'll all become Hell's Angels...what WAS that biker crap all about?"

"Pull it together Julia," Gene said with firm tenderness as he took Julia's shoulders and gave her a little shake back into reality, "It is IMPERATIVE we find Robin Williams. The last thing I heard is that he's researching new material and has started up a tough biker gang in the gayest part of San Francisco. If we get in on this, we just might be the next big thing happening in comedy. We can find him on foot now. What are we waiting for?"

Chuck wondered if he could get in on this idea. He was a big Robin Williams fan, after all, and decided being a third wheel wouldn't be a bad thing this one time. Chuck walked with them.

"Gene, do you think I have the balls to be a biker babe? I haven't been on a bike since I was fourteen years old and even then it had three wheels," Julia said with great angst and fear.

Chuck glanced at Julia with a perplexed look and thought, "How did she know what I was thinking?"

"Julia," Gene said with great littleness, "You need to get your shit together and, by God, if you have to you will ride on Robin's head. We have to get in on this gig."

Julia asked as she rolled her eyes, "By the way, what is a Latvian?"

"You don't know what a Latvian is," Gene choked out as he was overcome with laughter.

"The closest definition I can come up with is an Andy Kaufman reincarnation," Julia stated with careful consideration.

"My God. You know the secret definition. How did you figure it out so quickly," Gene asked with shock.

"Lucky guess."

"No shit!"

"So how many of them are there?"

Gene thought about this for a moment and answered in a low, mysterious voice, "No one really knows. He tried to overtake Ellen Degeneres but she was depressed. That's when he went for Anne Heche. He really did a number on her and the media was close to uncovering the truth so, the word on the street is, he made his way across America and settled in San Francisco."

"Wow," Julia whispered in amazement.

"Wow," Chuck whispered to himself.

"I know," uttered Gene with a look of bewilderment, "If the public knew he had taken over President Bush on numerous occasions, it might place the country in a vulnerable position. Do you think Bush really choked on a pretzel?"

"My God. Andy was trying to manifest back into the comedy ring through the President," Julia stated with wide eyes and then asked with a look of desperation, "Do you think he'll try to get to Robin?"

"I'm counting on it," Gene said with confidence, "And when he does, we'll be there to help Robin out."
