The two-and-a-half-hour flight seemed to be over in a flash, as their discussion was so engrossing they lost all sense of time. First Anna described what had happened at Salem Hills High and the Camden International, and how her instincts, which she had long honed, and her willingness to give herself over to her subconscious when necessary, could transform her martial arts and sharpshooting skills to rarefied levels.
When it came to extraterrestrials and the state of the galaxy, Redford was able to come up to speed even more quickly than Anna had managed. He had spent his entire career thinking and writing on the subject of extraterrestrials, and he was able to see certain implications of what he was being told without needing them spelled out.
Vega ended the discussion with the last bit of information he had shared with Anna. He told Redford how several Vorians had been eliminated, and provided additional background on what Anna had already told the colonel, that over six hundred additional Tarts had just arrived on Earth. Finally, Vega disclosed how he had refused to call for possible Vorian reinforcements when he and Anna were running for their lives, and the reasoning behind this decision.
This completed, Anna added her insights into the angel/demon nature of the historic conflict between the Vors and Tarts, and the colonel was just as astonished and intrigued as she had been. Anna could tell that if Redford died at that moment, he would die happy, knowing that he finally had answers to questions that had plagued him his entire life, as well as answers to questions he would have never even thought to ask.
Anna liked the colonel from the first moment they had met, and the positive signals she continued to receive from her hidden mind could not be stronger. He insisted that she and Vega call him Steve, to remove any barrier of formality between them, and the more they spoke, the more she trusted him.
And the more attracted to him she became.
But was she attracted to him simply because of her vision of them kissing? And if this was the case, and if this preview ultimately led to the embrace she had seen, had her vision of the future actually caused this future to come into being?
After she had told Redford about Foria, and that the Tarts were behind it, he had paused to issue a flurry of orders, scrambling US intelligence and military assets to LA, Chicago, and New York to find anyone involved and stamp out this drug with a vengeance. The force that he ordered to be assembled was authorized to use whatever resources were necessary, and do whatever it took, including invoking martial law, to destroy every last atom of Foria and anyone involved with its distribution. Handpicked members of Redford’s own team would lead the charge, and would take over whenever the trail led to a Tartarian.
Finally, the colonel ordered any and all samples of the drug to be brought for analysis to
