Dallas was hearing messages from Dianna's father, directly into his mind. He wanted her taught a lesson and putting her discipline in the hands of a disciplinarian was not taken lightly by her God-Father. What was a better way to convey this message, that the symbolism of that concept, by using a conveyor belt strap? The broad and very stinging blade, brought a first time, painful reminder, of obedience versus disobedience. He knew that Dallas very strongly supported that simple viewpoint and knew he had made the right decision to have him continue the punishment and strong life-lesson of his strong-willed daughter.
