CHAPTER ONE

Continued from Evelina The Alpha.

A nude woman in a micro-bikini oiled her body before climbing the steps to an elevated platform. Two men lay down, side by side in man’s thongs, talking.

Where is Kirsty? 

Asked Barnaby an old man but probably one of the richest men in the city. He had a well-shaven face with dark hair. That if it wasn’t for the white eyebrows. His looks could easily fool one to think that he was young. Hair implants and a training regime that was demanding had seen his testosterone level. Remain at the same level as when it was in his youth. Sauna and massage sessions had become so routine that he frequented this place often. That had earned him his mistress in Kirsty. She had become more than just a massage therapist or masseuse. Barnaby had insisted on the micro-bikinis tripling the money he paid and always left loads of tips for her. The arrival of Hudson the military man had seen a new setting and a change in Kirsty. Once Barnaby’s favorite, Kirsty had fallen for the hot-headed, no-nonsense man in Hudson. A young, handsome man, and strong as a horse. A man ready for action. Barnaby had misunderstood her. She was not materialistic. She was as wild and untamed as a horse too, just like Hudson. That made them click. That was what she craved. Barnaby had confused her with a money-oriented girl but having grown up in the remote plains of the Baltic region, a camping tent and a stubborn wild horse was what she was accustomed to. Honestly, the only thing she needed. Barnaby had seen a pattern emerging. Whenever he had a meeting with Hudson, Kirsty for all the excuses he had heard would not show up. That ate his heart the most, especially now that his wife was never home. The money he had and the power over Hudson. Kept him quiet from asking if Hudson had decided to eat his cake as well. No one was as good as her. Pure like a virgin and wild at heart, so passionate and caring.

Whenever I have a meeting with you. My girl does not show up. Are you eating my food as well Hudson?

Asked Barnaby after gathering his strength while choking with rage. Hudson laughed.

I think if you think about how many men, she had given a massage or more up to now. Surely, you would not even ask me that question. Above all, the fact that I am here with you when she is not here. That alone means that she might be with another person. Above all, I want to believe that what is yours is mine as well, said Hudson, patting Barnaby.

How can it be mine if you lock it away from me?

We can share it. It is not like she is your wife. By the way, how is Yolanda? I know it would be wrong if I was to go after Yolanda, your wife, explained Hudson.

She is q. She recently opened a wedding gown shop. She is never home, he said.

Oh, I see, said Hudson.

So, what is eating you? Surely it can’t be Kirsty. I would not think that you requested this meeting just to talk about her. Did you?

Lisa instantly jumped on his back and with her oiled body rubbed herself on his back. 

The bank asked me to talk to you about the loan application you made, he said.

Correct! I am listening, said Hudson.

He sighed as she massaged him.

You know we have new management. Right?

Of course!

Their issues are that the amount is too high. You know that as a listed member the loan will be written off right?

Hudson raised his head first looking at the topless Lisa wriggling on Barnaby's back.

If it wasn’t for us. I mean for our forefathers. The bank could not have even existed. You are rich today because of the gold scriptures. When they said knowledge is power this is exactly what they had in mind. Having said that. I was expecting you to even double the amount. Especially now that you know I am the new leader of the cult. When I made the loan application I was just in the army; as the general. But surely things have changed since then!

explained Hudson.

Exactly! What I am saying. In the beginning, the system was fair because it benefited a lot of people. Empowering a lot of them. Mostly the poor and the orphans. Giving them a new life, you know? Surely even now the bank is still doing the same and would not hesitate to sponsor these. Money that is easily approved by the board of directors and shareholders. Nowadays this money is used to make digital weapons and digital watermarks. The ones destroying the very people it is supposed to help. These are things destroying humanity and bringing untold suffering to all. Surely no one want to be associated with these. Hence the recent objections, said Barnaby.

But Barnaby, what we do with the money is not your bloody business. Pardon my French, said Hudson.

On the shoulders! Requested Barnaby to Lisa.

Yes there!

You must understand that, years back, yes! But now with this Tomorrow’s World Order’s crackdown on digital pathogens and watermarks, the board of directors and shareholders will beg to differ. Nowadays it is viewed the same as funding terrorists. No one would want to be served with the Ultima-Talionis order by Tomorrow’s World Order, explained Barnaby.

But we made you who you are. So, to hell with these shareholders!

It is not just the shareholders. This Tomorrow’s World Order is going to put us out of business. Their new system will ban loans from banks. Will ban the bailing-out of banks. In fact, it will stop banks from operating as they intend to establish the Global Reserve Bank, said Barnaby briefly looking at Hudson.

Damn it! You know for a fact you still owe us! Your forefathers understood that without the gold scriptures where would you be? We made you rich. Teaching you everything from scratch. Now you talk to me about ethics? I can understand if you don’t want to do business with me because of this Kirsty. Surely the bank can assign someone else. Surely don’t tell me this is about Kirsty?

He looked at him.

Okay. I am humping her. All-day and all night. In actual fact, she is at my hotel flat as we speak!

Barnaby’s heart tore apart as he felt betrayed as well as being cheated upon.

You have Lisa. After all. All women are the same. You still have Yolanda on top of that. I think it will be a mistake to break such a good relationship over a woman, a massage mistress for that matter. Please tell me it is not about a bloody hooker?

Said Hudson now upset.

Of course not. The board of directors and the shareholders are now saying that they might have paid the full value of the gold scriptures. Looking at the written-off loans over the centuries they reckon that even the gold scriptures now belonged to the bank!

Hudson laughed in disbelief.

You don’t get it! Do you? You and your bloody directors don’t know that the gold scriptures are not for sale? They are the oldest of any written scriptures. Older than the bible. Older than this world. They existed even before this world was created. That means its value is the value of all this world. Saying that you have paid as the value of this world is therefore nonsense. Honestly, I would not want to take a different path than the one we have for now. The cult would do very bad things to anyone who even threatens to take the gold scriptures from us. The very reason this cult still exists today, said Hudson now shaking with rage.

Barnaby instantly pushed Lisa off and sent her away.

He sat down.

That sounds like a threat, said Barnaby.

I just took the words out of your mouth. You are suggesting that the gold scriptures now belong to the bank. That my friend is a threat to us in itself. If this Kirsty is so important to you then you can have her back. Surely the cult’s rules won’t allow such stupid immature thinking. You must understand that banks come and go. So as money. It comes and goes. People come and go too. The women also come and go but I tell you this. That even a million years from now the cult and the gold scriptures will still be here and I swear not in your hands or the bank’s but still with the cult. That means now, as the leader. I will do anything to make sure that the gold scriptures stay with the cult. Even if that means sacrificing all of you and all your children, your cats, and dogs as well. Do you understand?

He pointed at his chest and simulated slicing him open.

It is that serious right?

Don’t get me wrong. Nothing personal. The cult is still here today because it takes people like you seriously. If I call for help today, then you are all finished. Don’t even think you are secure. My men can open all of you. One by one until you are all dead. Even worse if it’s me. I can perform an autopsy on all of you. Considering that I am a doctor as well nevertheless a military one. So again, what did you say about the loan?

Asked Hudson, twitching with rage.

I. I. I think. I have to check with the board of directors, he murmured.

Instantly Hudson made a phone call.

You can have your Kirsty back, he said, handing him his phone as someone answered.

Kirsty Darling it is me, Barnaby. I miss you so much. I thought what we had was for real?

A familiar voice interrupted him.

Barnaby Darling? Who is Kirsty? It is Yolanda!

You son of a bitch! What are you playing at?

Roared Barnaby folding a fist.

Hudson quickly grabbed his throat and squeezed.

You, worthless piss of shit! I am not all these bastards you threaten and get rid of! You mess up with me. I will ruin not just your life but of everyone you care about. I will bring hell to you. You are going to process the loan now three times the amount I requested by tomorrow!

He roared letting go of him.

If I wanted. I would argue that all the money you have belongs to the cult. Simply because without the information you took in the gold scriptures. You will not have made all this money!

He pushed him away.

He kneeled and touched his throat breathing hard.

One other thing! If you touch my Kirsty. Surely I am going to perform an autopsy on your fat body!

He instantly walked away but he stopped and looked at him.

Get rid of that Lisa! She overheard everything!

Barnaby looked shocked and scared.

Where is my Kirsty? Tell me you didn’t kill her?

Leaving loose ends wherever you go! You fool. I am not the last leader you used to bully. I mean business. All that money. You made it. Only because of the gold scriptures. So technically it belongs to us. If I have my way you will all be finished by tomorrow. You better process that loan fast!

   Miles away.

 Make sure you don’t double, or even worse, treble the digital keys. One key for every twelve recipients, she read aloud.  

Mark got up and paced. 

Now I understand your fears. It’s like you have signed your death certificate, he said.  

Very high stakes. The risks are unbelievably high. It’s a matter of life and death. I can’t just think of a way. One can pull this out without paying a heavy price. The guys we are after have in the past been getting $billions from these digital weapons. Serious money to do anything to defend that. High risks. And I bet I would do whatever it takes to continue destroying everyone else. David sounded like it was either us but more likely them. As it stands the odds are against us. Big time, she said.  

She frowned with anger.  

Damn it! You can’t walk away now, shouted Mark as Carolina slammed the door on her way out. Mark ran after her and held her shoulder.  

I am just saying. That if you pull it off. You have massive rewards. Think about it, he said.  

It’s suicidal. And how did you know about the rewards? I never mentioned it to you!  

Sorry I read your diary, replied Mark.  

Mark. It’s a bloody diary of a person. Who goes through someone else’s diary?  

Don’t give that! Damn it! Caro. It’s my life too, on the line. If you don’t even know what is coming and the diary is your only source. Then I have to read it too!  Protested Mark.

I apologize. Maybe you are right. I am scared, you know. How do we deal with code five and six? You read it; we can’t split the keys?  

Give me that diary again?  

Failure to save even one recipient after eliminating all the assassins means a system shutdown is impossible. Unfortunately, the loss is irreplaceable. There is a great danger of death. As that system will keep triggering the sending of assassins. To eliminate all recipients of digital currency. People who will have collected evidence of the existence of these digital weapons. Once eliminated the system shuts down and reboots and that stops triggering the alarms. Complete protection of all your recipients means that the wave is closed and can be deactivated to stop the further sending of assassins!  

You can’t be serious. Are you saying that if one or more dies, that system remains open? It is fucked up. The odds of achieving this are just impossible, said Mark.  

She got up and started crying.  

What the hell did I get myself into?  

Mark for the first time saw a fragile woman. It was just unbelievable to see the other side of her. This caused great pains of fear and anxiety in him.  

My boyfriend tried to talk me out of this. But then again, you know me being me. Stubborn and taking stupid challenges. The odds are stacked against us!  

She sobbed profusely.  

You know what is worse? We must protect all twelve as a failure on one level will only mean they send even more lethal bloody piranha-like-hungry-assassins thirsty for blood, she told him.  

Mark felt like his heart tore apart. The pounding was so strong that he felt his chest moving back and forth. He looked at Carolina and saw fear written all over her face.  

Are you serious?  

This is what we are up against. One recipient dies. That system remains open, meaning twelve deadly assassins to be sent until that system is closed?  

Mark breathed fast and thought fast.  

Okay, how do we close that phase then?  

At the end of all phases?  

Mark cursed that it didn’t sound good. How many are the phases?"

Carolina sobbed for a while.  

Twelve or more. David never said anything about this. I only found this information from a video he left for Evelina, she said upset.  

I don’t get it. He assigns you this task but doesn’t give you any info. Then give it to someone else? Who is Evelina?  

Damn it. You know. This is what I am saying. You withhold info, but I told you we are in this together. That look tells me you are hiding something, said Mark. 

CHAPTER TWO

Damn it! You have got some nerves coming here and accusing me of the death of …who again?

The gatekeeper! Replied Detective Billy.

Why on earth would I want him dead?

Detective Billy handed him the 666-card found on his decomposing body.

He looked at it and looked lost.

What does a private club have to do with us?

The Detective smiled.

We are not stupid. We believe this is your logo. I mean secret logo, said the Detective. He showed him again the card.

Mark of the Beast! We believe Tomorrow’s World Order secret logo. Correct me if I am wrong?

Requested the Detective.

Our logo is a lion, and it is not a secret. The logo is derived from our license to kill; the Ultima-Talionis. Which can be read as; the Ultimate-Lion-Is! So definitely not a secret. What makes you think that the Devil’s number is our logo?

Disguising your logo but making sure that the person knows exactly who is killing them but fooling us the detectives.

I never thought it that way. Now that you have associated us with the Devil. We might as well do that, but as for the gatekeeper we have nothing to do with his death. For the last time. Okay?

That is what all say. We have nothing to do with that until we stepped in, said the Detective.

David cursed.

Are you sure you are just talking about the gatekeeper because if that is so, I suggest if you want answers? Go back to your headquarters and ask among yourselves who really killed the gatekeeper, roared David.

What makes you say that, Mr. David?

Why would I kill a man responsible for approving loans? I don’t need a loan. I am or going to be probably the richest man alive. I have enough countries’ funds in the Global Reserve Bank. So definitely I was not denied a loan to have a motive to kill the gatekeeper. After all, I have enough digital currency to power the whole globe. Money-wise, he thundered.

Detective Billy laughed.

You mean worthless digital currency?

You don’t get it. Once we are in power, this will be the new medium of exchange, he said.

Why would the police force kill the gatekeeper?

He laughed.

As far as I am concerned, I was not denied a loan. Neither did I go to the bank to ask if they can fund us. So that I pay people who work for me. But I can’t say the same about your bosses. Trust me. When I have finished pushing the courts about defunding you lot. You will understand the real suspects behind his murder, he resounded.

The detective laughed.

We might have money problems but hey we can always find a way. But that does not mean we have become murderers.

Damn it! You stubborn...

Mind your language! Shouted Detective Billy.

The police institution is obsolete. The police force is obsolete! In actual fact, it has been obsolete for the past ten years or so? Now the biggest threat is you lot. Look at all the people dying at your hands. If the institution was not obsolete all this could not have been happening?

Detective Billy laughed.

The need for a system change has blinded you that you are now blaming everyone even the law enforcement team. We are like messengers. Who are doing their jobs you know?

You smartass brat!

Mind your language!

You think I don’t know what is going on? You damn right know you are heading for doom. What do you do? Start killing innocent people so that you recreate the 1980s rallies. The rallies that justified your presence. This is out of hand. I know for a fact all the killings are to make people start rallying up against police brutality like the 1980s. All these killings by the police are deliberate to stir uprisings so you fight calls for defunding of the police, he said. The Detective looked shocked.

I am very saddened that you would suggest that all the killings are deliberate, he said.

Have you read World First. Power Games? The book I wrote?

Never heard of that book before?

I explained that due to the mass calls about defunding you lot. Your management with the help of the hospital and doctors who are hacking people illegally. Have designed to ambush and set up even you lot to kill innocent boys, women, and men. The main reason being to stir uprisings that will see your numbers go up instead of what must be happening!

You are talking about the killing of that boy, right? But the judges acquitted the officers involved in the shootings. So, if a judge had said it’s not our fault so how come you still blame us?

It’s simple. The judges base their judgment on shared or causal responsibility in that the people fund you lot through taxes. So surely if they knew you are that serious a threat to their lives then the people just like any reasonable man would. Would refuse their money to be used to fund the police etc. The fact that they don’t complain about their money being used to pay the very people who are killing them weakens their complaints after that. Even if you deliberately set on a killing spree. Simply because they are like people buying whatever you are selling. Be it police brutality, harassment, murder, torture, grooming, or Colony collapse strategy at your hands. They have no right to complain simply because they know for a fact that their money is paying you and that means they trust whatever you do? But Detective is this the truth? If people knew that. Surely no one will agree to be funded from money raised through taxes. The whole force when they knew they were obsolete and heading for disaster. They embarked on targeting civilians to stir uprisings that justifies their presence. Surely you are not telling me that all these deaths; day after day are accidental?

Asked David.

They are accidental as the judges have said and acquitted everyone, said the Detective.

I explained why they acquitted them. But my point is that they know that you are not competent enough to even protect the people you are claiming to protect. The very reason why I am saying the institution is now obsolete. If you make such mistakes killing more than the muggers and robbers, then there is something wrong. It is the stupidity of you coming here and try to play the blame game. When you are the very culprits. You have all the reasons to kill the gatekeeper!

Mr. David, in the history of my career. I have never had anyone send me back to the headquarters for answers. This is new?

Welcome to Tomorrow’s World Order. The gatekeeper denied you loans as your bosses were looking for alternative-funding-sources. Money to be used for paying your salaries and wages. So, you have the motive. Secondly, that 666-card means Devil worshippers. Again, I believe the gatekeeper stole the list with all your bosses’ and the presidents’ names on it, as the real devil’s worshippers. He was going to expose all of you, you evil bastards! The very reason you killed him. Where is the missing President?

I was going to ask you also about that?

Do you know that he publicly threatened to expose all of you as the real devil worshippers? So again, you have the motive to get him killed. Ever heard a president disappearing without a trance? Unless you lot are involved. I am not stupid. You know?

Yes. Okay, I will give you points on that, but do you also know that the gatekeeper was responsible for attaching digital weapons and watermarks to money? The very reason for the rise of Tomorrow’s World Order. To stop these. We believe that you send your man to kill him serving him the Ultima-Talionis order which you. Being as clever as you are. You, knowing how some politicians are associated with the Devil’s Eyes cult. You instead of the lion logo you send the Mark of the beast, the 666 card. But one that sends the same message. That we believe also meant the Mark of the beast but referring to your license to kill the Ultimate-Lion-Is?

I don’t care what you say but we are the least to want him dead at the moment. If he was going to be on our list it is in the future. Surely you can’t come and ask me about this I am going to do in the future. Maybe that you told me that he is responsible for introducing dirty into the system. I will kill him in the future and until then I have a lot of work to do. Excuse me, detective, said David.

He started walking away.

Mr. David. Why would he steal a list of the cult in which he is a member?

Why not ask his friends in the cult?

You see. We think you are the only one who would want your hands on that list. Imagine getting rid of all the people you regard as ‘pain’ in the world. Above all, knowing every one of them by name?

That will be great, but I have nothing to do with his death?

See that is where I beg to differ. So, let me tell you what happened. I believe you threatened him. Probably served him with an Ultima-Talionis order. Buy you being you. Then stroke a deal with him. He gets you the list then you spare his life.

So why would I kill me after?

I believe you tricked him. You promised him his freedom but then again if you spare his life then Tomorrow’s World Order is for nothing. Once he has given you the list you then killed him. Then left the 666-card to divert attention to within the regime or the cult itself. Only you would benefit from his death and getting your hands on the list? I believe that as things stand to win now against this regime. You must kill some of the people on the list? So how on earth would you know who is on the list without the list itself? Mind you we are talking about a cult that survived the test of times. Mr. David. Honestly, where is the list?

He paused.

Mr. David and who of your team killed the gatekeeper?

David stood there speechless.

"I killed not the gatekeeper and have never seen the list. But if you happen to come across it. Now that you have said it exist for sure. I might need a copy. Goodbye Detective.

Somewhere in the city.

I am not. Damn it. I don’t even know. They met somehow, she cursed.  

Maybe I walk out now whilst I can? Mark cursed and started walking away.  

Mark. I swear I don’t know. But, she paused.  

Mark stopped and turned around slowly. He sighed and walked back.  

So, tell me?  

 She sobbed. 

He is going to make her takeover as the leader when he goes into the invisible mode. Some years from here, she said.  

Mark paced.  

You met this Evelina? Did he ask you to get in touch with her?  

Carolina sounded upset.  

What does that have to do with all this?  

Just answer me?  

We met once a few weeks ago, and he suggested that I train her. But I refused. I have no time for that, she said, sounding jealous.  

Mark sighed.  

Ok makes sense, he admitted.  

So, we have to create sets of twelve recipients. Until we have given out at least one $millions of our digital currency. Initially to trap their digital weapons.  Every phase we can have twelve recipients. We must protect all our recipients from the assassin’s attacks. But if one dies as I said that phase won’t close, meaning they will send twelve assassins who will work hard to destroy evidence. That means the next phase will have an additional twelve assassins to come on top of the number for the phase in question. Every stage they manage to kill our recipients. That remains open, meaning additional assassins, she explained.  

Mark breathed hard. Instantly sweat drenched him. He wiped the sweat. Carolina sobbed even more.  

What is it?  

Even worse. They send the lowest grade of assassins in the first phase. But after that. They will start sending any level assassins, even the highest level, she told him.

So, it makes sense. David knew what he was doing. He knew they would send their lowest grade first. So, they might be easy to deal with?  

So, the extra assassins, who is the target?  

Carolina sobbed for a while.  

Everyone, even me, and you all of us, she explained.  

Mark hugged her.  

If I can ask? How many teams are out there?

A $million worth of currency is a lot considering each phase has only twelve recipients, she said.  

Carolina looked at Mark with a haunted face.  

Just me, just us, the first team. It’s my job to start the recruitment process. Everything rests with me. I fuck up. Humanity goes down. Everything is in my bloody hands. One mistake and we have a release of the lethal assassins every hour. We must also keep on recruiting. Exchanging our digital currency for cash until everyone is using our digital currency. When that happens that will mean the defeat of the current system. That will mean the total trapping of all digital weapons, she said briefly, smiling.  

Explain again how this works?  

Our digital currency will neutralize these digital weapons. Trapping them to decipher later before we can identify who is behind this. Then after that. We can get court orders to get these evil culprits to be shot. As the courts will have declared their crimes so grave that if they are left alive. They will destroy humans. A sure way to stop all this, she told him.  

A splendid plan. So, the only way to stop it, is to control the flow of money?  

So, it’s not just about the digital currency. It’s about creating a better world for everyone. A huge, risky task but sure something I would like to be part of. I would love my kids growing up in your world, said Mark.  

Thanks, Mark!  

Carolina smiled.  

This is the first time this week I have seen you smiling, said Mark.  

Thanks. That’s a grand plan. If we make money in the process what’s wrong with that?  

The richest man in the world? Probably. So, it’s true that he is trying to imitate God?  

God’s Dilemma. I wish he was here to talk about this topic. I have seen no one so enthusiastic about something like this man, she said.  

My parents are Christians, and I know imitating God is blasphemy, explained Mark.  

Listen! Mark, he is not saying that he is God, no. His argument is that like us the fact that we spend trillions of dollars trying to create a robot that can act human, think human and live like us. God too had this dilemma of trying to create a human being. That will act God, think human, and live God. His argument is that God gave us everything to imitate. So, one day we understand that we must think, and act like him. All mankind’s inventions are just concepts laid down by God in the bible for us to imitate. Birds for planes, humans for the systems we use, e.g. computers, etc. eyes for cameras, speakers for ears, I mean everything. So, if God’s world is the perfect system. Why can’t one of us rise to the challenge and try it globally? That’s when David comes in!  

I must admit this is the first time I have heard this in this line. One clever man?   

The stakes are high. We risk losing a lot and it will be dangerous if we fail. The risks out of this world. But if we are to pull it out. The rewards are out of this world too, she said. 

She looked at Mark and tears started running down her cheeks.  

I don’t understand. Shouldn’t you be happy? She sobbed until her eyes were red.  

I am scared. I have never been so scared all my life, she said.  

Okay, said Mark calmly.  

I am scared I might be going to die, she said.  

Don’t be silly. No one knows about that stuff, he comforted her. She looked at him with a haunted face.  

What is it? You look like you have seen a ghost, said Mark.  

She sobbed profusely. Mark looked confused.  

Hey what did I say? You seem to have increased the crying?  

I have a replacement. But it’s not just about that, you know?  

Evelina? I know you told me, said Mark. 

We had dinner, the four of us including his friend. Somehow, we exchange coats. So, I took hers. That’s when I found the keys in the pocket. I knew the keys; David’s keys for his mansion. Curiosity killed the cat. So, I went there, she said. Then wiped off the tears.  

What did you find out?  

 I am scared. I think he is trying to get me killed. How can he send me without all the details?  

It’s not just that? Is it? What else?  

In his plan, I am the Holy Ghost, she said.  

She looked sad.  

I was spooked by what I saw at his mansion, she said as

she felt like laughing, then like crying even more that she just hugged Mark.  

I am a spirit in all this. My image turned to a spirit in his mansions’ mirror. So how can I be a spirit without dying? Maybe he is trying to get me killed, she said.

Mark’s heart started pounding. As they hugged Carolina felt Mark’s heart literally shaking her head as she rested on his chest.  

You believe this, huh?  

Don’t be silly?  

So why is your heart about to explode? You are afraid this could be true. Digging my own grave? I swear I took this task because of the rewards. Don’t get me wrong. I knew the risks, but maybe I should have thought about all this. There is no single day that passes by without me thinking about that Holy Ghost image, she told him. 

The strange thing is that. The time she was supposed to watch this video. Is at the end and according to the video I will be dead then, she said.  

Why so sure?  

He said that I will be in the spirit world?  

Mark this time literally touched his heart instinctively to prevent his heart exploding. Somehow, he knew this was the first time he had an irregular and constant pounding heart. So elevated that his body shook. He felt so afraid. That he walked away to conceal his breathing difficulties. He felt like choking with fear. He thought for a while.  

He might have used the words figuratively. Meaning in hiding because you said he will go into an invisible mood years later, he said comforting her.  

Carolina thought about it. That made sense.  

Imagine failing to save all recipients? And the triggering of twelve assassins all the time. And as you said, all after you. There shall come a time when you also have to operate in the invisible mood, he suggested.  

 Carolina walked away and paced. She instantly stopped and looked at Mark.  

Why didn't I think about it that way? You are right. Just a lapse of faith, she assured herself.  

I don’t blame you. I think I have never been this afraid all my life, he said. 

Carolina walked straight to him and hugged him.  

We can pull it off, said Mark.  

Are you just saying this to comfort me? Where would the blood-thirsty piranha of assassins be? I might not pull it off. The risks are high, she said.  

So why Evelina?  He asked.

She breathed hard.  

In the video. He suggested as the one. I mean Eve as the one who brought God’s wrath on mankind by disobeying God’s commands. Of not eating the fruit. She is on task this time to save humanity from extinction. The current regime and its system if not stopped is going to cause our extinction. So, who best to take humanity out of this place? Than Eve herself, but this time doing what is right, she said.

Mark smiled.  

Clever man. A second chance?  

Thanks, Mark. I was dead scared thinking that he was planning to get me killed, she said.  

He sounds like a good guy. Just a greedy man, but not that bad, he suggested.  

Let me show you something, Carolina retrieved her phone and showed Mark the Holy Ghost from David’s mansion.  

Holy Ghost. Literally?  

They both laughed.  

Mark left and came back that evening.  

I have a solution. Just find a way of keeping five and six at the same time, he said.  

I think there is something in the diary about that, but it’s not good, she said.  

 She took the diary and read it.  

Will only trigger more assassins. Sent to kill all at the same time, she read for him.  

      Miles away.

  I am just old, but I am not stupid, he said.  

Mr. Ramos lifted his cup of iced tea and sipped.  

What could go wrong? Everyone will be using the same digital currency globally?  

Yes, what I am saying is that if you like that digital currency that much, why not just get our own and use it?  

Damn it! Old man, why you are so stubborn. This has been done already. Hyperinflation is such a bad thing. That controlling it alone is difficult, if not impossible. His plan can work if applied globally, but individually we will be strong in the future, he said.  

Some are doing it using their own, so why can’t we?  

Is it safe? We don’t want to be forced to take short cuts and cheap routes and cause the destruction of humanity. Do we?  

Our system works perfectly and has been there for centuries, and I tell you this. If it doesn’t work. It is because of him sabotaging it. By his stupid demands. Don’t pay taxes, etc.  I tell you this. He is no better than all those rebels who got beheaded. It’s a crime against the state. To rally people not to pay taxes. This digital currency is a trick to justify not paying taxes, he said.  

Skeptical all the time, old man?  

No, I know it. If we all use digital currency. Then the people have no reason to pay taxes. Digital currency is not like money. Where you can print the head of the leader. So that the phrase; give Caesar what belongs to Caesar comes into play. Without the image of the President, etc. people are justified to refuse to pay. His plan is to phase out even national currencies. I believe for the system to work at one point he will ban even national currency, leaving just his digital currency. That will be putting us out of business. What is it in for us? You must think about us first?  

Chloe kept quiet  

"I am not stupid. These are the charges I will launch as a counter attack. Rebellion against the state. Rallying support against the government. Enticing others to rebel against
