Chapter Eighteen

Kuchen took a chair next to Dean and leaned back. Dean pressed a button on his console and a huge list of names appeared on the front wall monitor. Dean announced over the PA, “All the names on the monitor have been alphabetized by last name. Is there anyone present whose name is not on the monitor? Please stand up.”

An attendee on the backrow stood up and yelled, “My name isn’t.”

Another attendee across the room yelled, “YES IT IS; YOU’RE RIGHT BELOW ME!”

Dean shrugged, “Well, we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Please escort him out of the room.”

The sailor walked out of the row and Marine Private escorted him out of the door. The door closed and everyone in the room heard a blaster discharge. Dean looked around the room and said, “Computer, was that sailor’s name on the list?”

“Yes, Admiral.”

“Please remove it now.” A name disappeared from the monitor and all of those below it moved up one space. “Computer, is everyone in attendance on the list?”

“Yes, Admiral. Ten names are not present.”

Dean looked around the room as he said, “They have already been dealt with.”

The room was as quiet as a tomb, until Bridges said, “What’s going on, Sir?”

“Well, let me show you, Chief. The names on the front monitor are operatives sent to spy on the Fleet by General Thorpe.” The room started getting loud and Dean waited.

Harry looked at Megan and she shrugged. He looked at Dean and said, “Oh, Crap!”

The room finally grew silent and Dean smiled, “I assume most of you have confirmed my statement.” Dean looked at Chief Bridges, “We also know that your loyalty to Thorpe is guaranteed by the lives of your families.” Dean looked at Bridges, “What is your address, Chief.”

“Why should I tell you?”

“You don’t need to; but it would help with this demonstration.” The Chief remained silent and Dean said, “I want all of you to notice that I am moving the cursor to Chief Bridges’ name.” Everyone watched the monitor and saw Bridges highlighted. “Now, I click that name and…” The monitor changes showing an address highlighted. “…voila.” Dean looked at Bridges, “I believe that is your address, Chief, right?” The Chief nodded.

Dean clicked on a symbol next to the address and the monitor illuminated showing a news reporter standing on a mountain. The guardrail was bent out of place and the news reporter said, “No one really understands how this accident happened. It was a clear day and the road was dry but all five-members of the Bridges Family died from the long fall off the cliff.” Chief Bridges’ face showed immediate shock. Dean said “Now I’m going to click the symbol next to the one I just clicked.”

The wall speaker began saying, “Termination report on Bridges target. All five were poisoned and dead prior to pushing their vehicle off the cliff. The poison will be gone by the time the bodies are recovered.”

Bridges screamed, “WHO DID THIS!?!”

“Who do you think? Alright, let’s pick another name.
