Chapter Thirty

“I have some ideas as to whom we need to wake up,” said General Narrows. He sipped from his coffee cup and made a face. “Let’s start with my secretary, Clarabelle. That woman can make some good coffee!” He winked. “Besides, she’ll find anyone and anything. Very resourceful, she is! She’ll help with the research we need to do to find the essential people we require for this mission.”

Ellie wrote the secretary’s name down. “Who else?”

“Well, we’ll need people to cook for us, and I have some ideas for excellent chefs and their staff. I’ll need some of my people to help us with logistics. How many can we wake up altogether?”

Brent looked at Alexandra and then back at the general. “As few as we can. We need to stay below twenty people total. If we wake more than that, we’ll run the risk that the soldier travelers will detect our presence by the amount of carbon dioxide we breathe out. They must believe that all living things on Earth are dying and will be dead in a few days.”

Narrows nodded. “Dr. Sidonia Frazier from NASA. We need NASA to give us space intelligence. Sidonia can definitely help!”

Ellie wrote the name down.

Alexandra sat on a couch, listening, silent, her feet dangling several inches above the floor. The general and the four youths continued to discuss the people who were immediately necessary to carry out their mission.

Right outside the general’s office door, a woman slept, her head on her desk. Alexandra placed her little hand over Clarabelle and the general’s secretary opened her eyes. She was confused and looked around, her brain connecting with reality.

“It’s OK, Clarabelle,” said Ellie with a soothing tone. “General Narrows is here with us.”

“Wake up, Clarabelle,” said Narrows. “You’re OK. I need your help.”

Clarabelle’s gaze shifted from teen to teen and then scanned the room.

“Did I fall asleep at work?” she asked. “I thought I went home…because of the blizzard.”

“It’s a long story,” said Narrows. “We’ll explain it all to you soon. For now, we have a few more people to wake up.”

Two of the general’s aids were also awakened, Major Logan Pickering and Colonel Ladonna Fox. They slumbered in stasis in offices down the hall.

Lengthy Internet searches produced the names of a handful of neuroscientists researching dreams and brain waves, and Alexandra and Major Pickering were dispatched to get them out of stasis and bring them to DC.
