1:00 PM EST Day two of 1260 Camp David, Maryland - Conference Room

The meetings at Camp David were, becoming, heated. Many of the members of the government were not really in accord with me declaring martial law as of Monday when the first hurricane is to hit Houston. I was getting very tired of hearing things like ‘Mr. President this cannot be done. The people will not stand for it’, ‘Mr. President, this has never been done before’, Mr. President, we are a democracy.’

I only replied, “The founding fathers wrote the Constitution and put it into law. Then after 911, the Congress and the Justice Department affirmed the Presidential power to implement it. And I, the President of the United States, feel I have to impose it.”

We were, interrupted by a knock at the door, expecting that a latecomer had shown up, such as the Secretary of State, but it was one of the sentries posted at the door. He had a piece of paper in his hand and it looked like a note. He spoke with the Sergeant of Arms at the door and he pointed over to me.

“Excuse me sir,” said the Sergeant, “But we have an emergency message for you.”

“That’s fine, please bring it over.” He brought the folded sheet of paper over. I saw it was a fax and I read the information. I then stood and said, “I need to address this quickly and once I have dealt with this issue, I will be back to continue our discussions.”

I walked out the door and motioned for Jamal to come with me. We went out the door and directly to my private office located here at Camp David.

“Jamal,” I said as we sat down, “We have a major problem. It seems our Attorney General has been tracking Mr. South and found out that he went to Israel, and in doing so, did not process himself through Customs. His plane was, escorted back from across the Mediterranean to an airbase in Northern Israel, called Ramat David. If I am correct in remembering, that is where we send prisoners when we do not want to get our hand caught in the cookie jar. What I mean is, that is where they send someone who is uncooperative. Am I correct?”

“Yes Mr. President. That would be the place. How did we hear about this?”

“Jacks Attorney, Mark Anderson, somehow got a communication from the Attorney General about issuing a warrant for Jack’s arrest and a call from Jack from his jet that the Israelis were forcing their jet down. He also knew that Jack had gone to Israel. We know that Mark has some connections there. He probably made a few calls and connected the dots. We are under very strict instructions to not, harass Jack. And as you know, Aafre you do not play with, even a little.”

I punched a button on the desk and my secretary, Rolinda answered, “Yes Mr. President?”

“Go into the meeting room and have the Attorney General Ken Giles join us in my office. Would you please?”

“Yes Mr. President. I will do it now.”

“What a mess we have Jamal. This pompous jerk I got shoved down my throat for Attorney General has now royally screwed us up. When Aafre finds out, he will be more than angry. Giles has been a pain in my behind since day one. I think his goal is to run against me in the next election and will do anything to destroy or discredit me. If the press gets a hold of this there will be riots everywhere, especially in Kansas City.”

“What is it you are wanting to do about this, Mr. President?”

“Crucify the Attorney General, that’s what.”

“Veronica,” Moshe’s interrogation continued, “you realize that your friend is downstairs in one of our very special rooms. He is with Captain Weismann, whom you will remember from when you were here. Captain Weismann is quite capable of getting where he needs to go in order to gather what we want.”

Veronica, for the first time knew she showed some emotion, but said, “You have no idea what you are doing. If I were you, I would stop this now. Refuel our plane and let us all go and forget about all of this.”

“Well maybe we can,” as he opened a folder in front of him. “Maybe you can tell me what this is. He held up a sheet of paper with markings going from the center of the page in circles to the end of the page. What is this that we found on the plane?”

She did not really know what it was, but knew that it belonged to Jack. “Jack said he was to read it for it contained instructions from God regarding his sermons he was to give, starting in Kansas City.” She knew from Gabriel that he had given Jack the folder and it contained several sheets of paper, but she had never actually seen them.

Moshe looked at Veronica and wondered if she really believed all this bullshit. He then said, “Veronica, I need to know what these symbols mean. I faxed them to one of our professors at the University in Tel Aviv and he says he has never seen anything like it before. So what does it say?”

“I really don’t know Moshe. Torture me if you wish, but I cannot translate it for you. Moshe, I am begging you, let this go and let us go. You will not like what happens if you do not.”

“Is that a threat Veronica? It sure sounds like one.”

1:45 PM EST Day two of 1260 Camp David, Maryland - President Richard Stevenson’s Office

Ken Giles walked into the President’s office and Stevenson barked out, “Sit down Ken in the chair closest to my desk. I want to be able to see you real well, I want to hear you real well, and as a matter of fact, I want to remember you just as you are, for when I get through with you, there probably will be little left for the buzzards to digest.”

Ken was used to the President’s tirades and waved his hand to dismiss what Stevenson had said, then stated, “What has gotten you so angry?”

“Jack South, that’s what. What the hell have you done?”

“Hey I am just fulfilling the oath of my office. He snuck out of the country and then into an allies,’ country and he was caught. So what? Maybe they can figure out what he is doing. You sure as hell will not. So when I found out what he had done, I called our contacts in Israel and told them to do as they wished. In addition, I assumed, since you will not try to find out what makes this guy tick, I would. And when I do, it will put an end to this hocus pocus he is spreading across this country and the world for that matter.”

The President looked at him and shook his head. Ken you have no idea what you may have done.” He pushed a call button on his desk and when Rolinda answered he said, “Get the Israeli Prime Minister for me immediately please. Tell him it is urgent.”

1:45 PM EST Day two of 1260 Somewhere over the Atlantic, AM4000 Jet

I was talking to one of my staff members as they were working on some statistics when I saw the flight attendant come into the lounge on the plane. She walked up to me and said, “Mr. Aafre, I need to speak with you.” She leaned down towards me and whispered in my ear.

I immediately stood up and said, “Excuse me gentlemen, but I need to attend to some important business that has come up.”

As I left the lounge cabin, I went to the area right behind the cockpit. There was a secure communications link that I could use to make and receive secure calls. When I got into the room, I closed the door and immediately called the White House’s special number and was, connected through their switchboard to Camp David, where President Stevenson currently was.

I waited for the call to go through and when I got him on the line I listened to what Stevenson had to say and simply said, “Get him out of there now. Moreover, as for this Attorney General, I will take care of him myself. As I told you Stevenson, and I meant it, no one until I say, touches this person. Now, if he is not, released within an hour, I will take matters into my own hands and use our own resources. So make sure the Prime Minister knows what needs to be done.”

Chapter 79

1:55 PM EST Day two of 1260 Camp David, Maryland - President Richard Stevenson’s Office

The President put the phone down after the call from Aafre and looked over at Ken. “I want your resignation on my desk in one hour or I will use my Presidential powers using the FBI and CIA to place you under arrest for violation of our government’s human rights laws on giving over an American Citizen to be rendered to a foreign country. One hour, that is all you have. You can claim you are resigning for any number of reasons. However, if you do not, I will release to the press an incident of another that was, incarcerated, not this one. I have tapes of you giving the order from your office to the CIA on our other subject we sent there. So what’s it going to be Ken?”

As I was waiting for Ken to answer, my telephone rang and I answered. Rolinda said, “I have the Israeli Prime Minister on the line Mr. President, should I put him through?”

“Yes, please do.”

I waited and heard David’s voice, “Hello Stevenson,” he said in his Yiddish accent, “what I can do for you today?”

“Are you in a secure place that we can talk David?”

“Yes, I’m in my office. You just caught me. I was just leaving to have dinner with my family this evening.”

I explained the situation to him and said that we would not hold them responsible for anything that had happened, but it would be best if we wrapped this up quickly. He said that he understood. He also questioned me about Jack, saying, “Are you sure you don’t want us to break him? He is here and he is a threat to all of us. It is raining here, like in the Sahara and that may soon cause us problems. We may be able to crack him.”

“No. Just put him and whomever, he was with, back on their jet. I just hope this never makes it to the press. Once again, thanks David. I really appreciate your help. Yes David, we will sign the agreements on the bombers and after some of this calms down, you should be getting them. Thanks again.”

I put the phone down, then looked over at Jamal, and said, “Fortunately, they want the bombers more than they want Jack. So he will do what is necessary to make sure that he is released.”

I then turned back to the Attorney General and said, “Now Ken, what’s it going to be?”

8:55 PM CEST Day two of 1260 Ramat David Air Force Base, Level III Interrogation Room

They had turned off the lights and left. Again, it was pitch, dark. I doubted if they believed what I told them about the binder. What was strange to me is that I could actually read it and I had never ever seen anything like it before, but then obviously they had not either.

My mind was playing with me again and I was still very cold. I was not looking forward to being tortured to get me to tell these people what I had said on national TV yesterday. I mean, that is all they would ever get from me anyway. I really knew nothing else. I guess they could have questioned me about the desert and the cave meeting, but they probably would not believe that either.

I was not sure what was going to happen to me. I guess according to Old Testament scriptures, many were, imprisoned for their beliefs. Maybe God was just testing me and this is just part of the seasoning that he puts his messengers or prophets through. I wondered to myself if I was strong enough to handle it and still be able to function afterwards. I did not know, but I did know that Gabriel had said even though I was, chosen, I still have one-hundred percent free will, and if I choose to go against God’s wishes, I could do so.

I will not let that happen. If they beat me, I will tell the truth, no matter what, and let God take care of the rest of it. I started to recite the Lord’s Prayer when the lights came back on.

Chapter 81

9:00 PM CEST Day two of 1260 Ramat David Air Force Base, Level I Interrogation Room

Moshe had left the room, but the door was, locked, so I was still a prisoner. I had no intention, of trying to get out anyway. I would not get very far. Moshe had left probably to see if my story corroborated with Jack’s. If it did not, then they would turn up the heat and try to find out more, using their techniques.

She could well imagine that Jack was probably shackled, naked, and scared out of his wits downstairs. However, she also knew that he was now a man of God and this may well be some good seasoning for him. She had joined this group of Gabriel and Ariel’s, several years ago after she and Shraya had their little tryst. Then Shraya had explained who he really was. After she got over the shock of it, she was, recruited by them. She converted to Christianity, resigned her position, and was sent to America to begin to lay out the plans long before Jack ever knew he was going to be who he is now.

To think Jack thought she must be an angel. Well after today, he would know the truth and then she would tell him again that she is there to protect him and keep him secure, that this had all been, worked out some time ago. However, she mused, she was not doing such a good job now, even in her own territory. Therefore, she was thinking about what must have happened in America that someone had stumbled on their whereabouts and overshot their authority. It really boiled down to three people that could order this. That would be the President, The Attorney General, or the Director of the CIA. No one else could make the request.

Her thoughts were, interrupted when she heard the door open. Moshe walked in sat down and said, “Veronica, you must really have friends in very high places. Your jet is being, refueled and your pilots and your precious Jack are being, returned to you. However, I think it is important that you let Mr. South know that none of this really took place today. It might not bode well for him to run to the press and tell his story.”

“I can assure you that I doubt if your threats would be of much concern to him. I can also tell you that he has no reason to dwell on this and I will do what I can. Now may I leave?”

“Sure you can. I wish you would stay longer though. Dinner with a bottle of fine wine would really make my day.”

“Go screw yourself Moshe. You know how I feel about that. Also, please give me the binder back you removed from the plane.”

“Certainly, you can also have the other papers, including Jack’s passport.” He handed the binder to her. She noticed, as she looked in the folder that the papers were copies, not the originals. Where are the originals Moshe?”

“Ah, those we will keep here. I want to have it analyzed, especially if it really came from God. Then we may find out something else interesting. I am sure that Jack and I will meet again very soon, maybe in Jerusalem. Are you sure we cannot have dinner together again, just like old times?” he pouted.

“No Moshe not now, not ever.”

“Okay my dear. Maybe you can fly back to the caves and get Shraya too,” as he laughed.

She hated that laugh, hated it so very much.
