Chapter Ten

"Did you get your work area cleaned up?" Nidal Malik demanded.

"Yes, Lord Regent," Captain Carney said. "I took care of it, they won't see anything out of place."

"How did the rest of the tour go?" Nidal asked, even as he carefully scribed letters into the book. This was the latest teachings from the Hand of God, which Nidal felt should be hand-written and copied, to preserve their holy nature. Besides, some of the words didn't work well when typed. Nidal had learned that after he destroyed two computers trying to write the words. The devices had become buggy and either stopped working, or in one case, exploded into flames.

"It went well," Captain Carney said. "I showed him around the palace and we went and looked at some of the farm land, just at dusk when all the dirt farmers were cleared out." He sneered, "No one got a chance to pitch some pitiful story to him or his people."

"Good," Nidal said as he finished the page. He straightened and rubbed at his back, sore from leaning over the table, his eyes aching from looking at the book so closely. He set the ink pen to the side and closed the inkwell. "What do you think, Captain?"

"I think we should kill him tonight and drag his corpse out to his train-full of do-gooders and show them what happens if they mess with us," Carney grated.

Nidal couldn't help but chuckle at that. "So direct... that might work, but our prisoners said they are organized. What happens if they put up a fight?"

"Then we kill them," Hudson spoke up. The big black man wasn't much on conversation. Nidal had expected just that from his other officer.

"The Hand of God has commanded that I increase our forces. Sometimes you get more flies with honey than poison," Nidal smirked. Both his followers were too limited. He saw that clearly now. Nidal had eliminated some of the more capable, but ambitious, escapees after their arrival here in St Louis. In part, that had been at the direction of the Hand of God. But it had also been a necessary step towards consolidating his own power. The forty surviving escapees had been easy for Nidal to manipulate and after the Hand of God had restored Nidal's body, he'd been able to move from a planning role to that of the leader.

“Did Doctor Madison try to say anything untoward?” Nidal asked.

“No, Lord Regent,” Captain Carney grinned. “I kept her well in hand.”

Nidal only grunted. He despised the female doctor. Not only was she a symbol of the old world, the science and medicine that his new God viewed with distrust and derision, but she was a woman. Nidal could not stand women in any position of power. They were weak-willed, too easily swayed by false religions and by their own emotions. He would never need to use her services again, anyway. The Hand of God had healed him and granted him the powers to remain healthy.
