Chapter 31

Adam contemplated what he might say to the five women assembled in his Study, just on the other side of the door he faced. With a high level of trepidation, he opened the door and walked in. Noki was seated next to Misti, now almost recovered in body and mind, while Alana was seated next to the very quiet Eene, who looked terrified at Adam as he came in and looked around. Gaea was seated alone, her counterpart hiding in some part of the world even Alana and Adam could not find, though daily they made a concerted effort to do so.

Adam was not sure what to say and jostled in his mind whether he was most angry at Laura for having hatched and carried out the plot, or Misti and Noki for having gone along with it. Had not his instructions been clear about the dangers of the attempt? Had not those very dangers befallen them. Most of all on Misti?

Misti looked up at her mate and said, “You are angry with us?” Misti was uncomfortable; she knew Adam was upset, but had no recollection of why.

“What would possess all of you, every single one of you to betray my wishes. Even those whom I hold most dear. Did you think your knowledge superior to mine in this matter? That I did not know the corruption in the mind of the three who have hunted us and almost killed us? And that you would follow the lead of Laura who would sell us all out for a price?”

Gaea said, “What do you mean? She would never have done that. For what reason? She was trying to help.”

“Help? She had five million reasons for betrayal; she made an idiotic phone call, easily traced whether by design or foolhardy, I shall never know. But I can assure you that on the day we meet I shall personally squeeze the life out of her as recompense for her betrayal which was planned and fulsome. Now I wish to know which parts each of you played in this debacle. Gaea and Alana were immediately enraged and shouted at Adam that he had no right to decide anything, much less their fates.

“Eene, you are free to go. I bear you no grudge and have no wish to frighten you any more than you already are. You are blameless, so I would ask you to go to your room and wait. We shall talk calmly and decide together what you should do next. But I think remaining here is your best option for safety sake.”

Alana and Gaea both said, “We shall leave. What you decide among your mates is private.”

“You will sit down and speak when spoken to. I am in no mood for your bravado when you have caused so much harm. Speak of it and I shall put you on a pilotless jet bound for the depths of the Atlantic right now.”

Both women ignored Adam and began to walk toward the door.

Kendra said, “Oh shit.
