Chapter 29

"Samael has demanded surrender from the leaders of every country in the world. If they refuse, they will be assumed to be on Satan's side and subjected to elimination," Monique said during lunch.

"Sounds a lot like President Bush's obsession with evildoers; either you're with us or against us. Not sure that worked out so well. Iraq is still screwed up," I said.

She sipped on a light mojito, while I took a drink of what could pass as a Bloody Mary, but contained more bloody than Mary. We sat poolside under the tropical sun with a table full of shrimp, fruits, cheeses, and assorted breads between us. In normal times, it would have been blissfully romantic, but times were far from normal.

Thanks to Monique, my daughter came to some acceptance about the nature of her dad and of war. The violence she witnessed would require time for her assaulted senses to heal. Beyond that, she also struggled with the betrayal by Karen, as did I. Karen was now a wildcard, as of yet still managing to evade detection by George out on the high seas. If they didn't find her soon, we would have to assume she contacted Samael, and would be forced to evacuate the island.

"What's the reaction to Samael's demands from the international community?" I asked.

"So far, most African nations have been incoherent in their responses, the dictatorships in the Middle East are preparing for jihad, Russia is in chaos after Putin's death and that has China nervous. Great Britain of course is waiting to see what the U.S. does, which means they'll fold soon also, while France has flat out refused to acknowledge this insanity, as they called it."

"Typical French. Guess that's why I always loved the county. The foundation has a lot of assets there?"

"Of course. That is our country of origin."

"Then that is where we should go and prepare to meet Samael head on. À bois noueux, hache affilée," I said in Monique's native language.

"You meet roughness with roughness, yes, but what can you do in France that you cannot do here?"

"We have no leverage here. It's a small island that he could overtake easily, but if we had an entire country behind us, then he'll be forced to sit down in the same room with me and negotiate." I didn't realize how naïve I was being, or how much my naivety would cost the world. "I will take his head; end of negotiations. Simple."

"Okay. If that is how you want to do it." She sounded skeptical.

"It is. I will have to gain access to the French president. Can we track his location so I can make a surprise visit?"

"I am sure we could. You can bust down doors, and flash your fangs for all to see." She leaned across the table smiling, and placed a hand on mine. "Or I can make a call and get you in to see him like a normal human. He is a friend of the family."

"Oh," I said sheepishly.
