CHAPTER THIRTY

“I don’t see how Nevin Gooseman and his gang of blind followers can blame this on us or the demon dragons,” Sophia reasoned watching as Hiker thundered across his office, pacing with his hands balled up in his hair.

In the background, a small television broadcast the news about earthquakes that were rocking the United States.

Hiker paused, glaring out the window. “They can spin it all sorts of ways.”

Sophia didn’t reply but instead turned her focus to the television as Nevin Gooseman started to speak.

“It’s about balance,” the politician began, standing in front of the White House. “These demon dragons have thrown that off completely. Before they began hatching, we never suffered from so many natural disasters. The earthquakes are just the start. Tsunamis will be next. The tropical storms building in the Atlantic will soon rock the east coast. Our nation is under attack, and it’s because of those beasts. The Dragon Elite want you to bow to their command, but I assure you that you will lose your liberties in the process. They say they have Mother Nature on their side, but if that was true, then we wouldn’t be facing such dangers on this planet. It appears they don’t have Mother Nature on their side as much as they are holding her hostage. Where is she, I ask you?”

The man looked straight at the camera, with heat in his eyes. “Hiker Wallace, the supposed leader of the Dragon Elite, if you truly have Mother Nature, then prove it. I challenge you to show us she’s on your side. If you don’t and these natural disasters continue, then we will have no choice but to conclude that you and your evil dragons don’t work for her, but rather against her. Maybe our efforts need to be in saving Mother Nature from the very people who have tricked us into believing they are working for her. If that was the case, then I don’t think we’d be facing so many global issues. We never had these kinds of issues when the Dragon Elite were in hiding—a story that also doesn’t add up. Tell us the truth, Mr. Wallace. Show us the truth.”

At the conclusion of this, the crowd in the distance cheered. The camera panned out to show the spectators, many of them holding signs that read: “Free Mother Nature.”

“Oh dear me,” Mama Jamba said from her perch on the Chesterfield. She was looking into a small mirror on the coffee table and putting pink foam curlers in her hair.

“This is serious.” Sophia understood why Hiker was so upset. Nevin Gooseman had planned this attack very carefully, and it had the potential to ruin the Dragon Elite for good. It was all about perception and right then, he was making everyone see things the way he painted them.

“It’s beyond serious,” Hiker affirmed. “We can’t ignore this any longer. Mama, I’m going to need your help.”

The old woman scrunched up her brow, rolling her bluish silver hair onto the curler. “You know I can’t do that, son.
