Abi and Rosario had set themselves a project to create an orchard and a herb garden at the back of the house, outside the kitchen. A local gardener had been recruited from Weston and, after breakfast, the three of them had gathered on the large stretch of lawn that separated the house from the forest at the back and started pacing up and down, standing around gazing with their hands on their hips and pointing at where they visualized plum trees and apple trees in neat, shaded rows, and nearer to hand, rosemary, sage and thyme, ready in good time for Christmas.

I withdrew to my study which, since I had rearranged all the furniture, I was now beginning to think of as my study, and withdrew from my safe the documents I had taken from the Richard John Erickson Institute, including the list of the Omega cabal, and sat at my desk to study them.

It began to dawn on me as I worked through the papers that, though I probably knew more than anyone alive, outside the cabal, about Omega, I actually knew very little about them, about their structure and workings. All I knew was their purpose and their objectives—and even that I knew only in the most general terms.

I took the list of members that Michael Donnelly, Senator Cyndi McFarlane’s husband, had printed for me before I killed him and studied it with care for the first time. There were twenty-four members of the cabal, each designated with a letter from the Greek alphabet. This much I knew. My father, before he was killed, had been Gamma. They had offered his seat to me, and when I had refused and declared war on them, they had given that place to Donnelly. That place was now, as far as I knew, vacant.

What I hadn’t known till now was that the cabal was divided into six groups, and each group had a geographical jurisdiction and what they called a competence. The first group was designated Omega Alpha. It appeared to be different from the others. Its geographical jurisdiction was the United Kingdom, New England, New York, the District of Columbia and Virginia, California and Belize. I sat for a while thinking about this, then had a look at its ‘competence’. It said ‘Oversight and general administration’. Its members were only three, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Beside their titles in the cabal were their actual names. Gamma, as I said, was deceased, Alpha I knew well and Beta was a household name within the IT industry.

The other five groups were numerical: Omega 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Omega 1 covered Canada, USA, Greenland, the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand. I had a look at its competence: free market capital, mass production and mass distribution, technological R&D in non-biological fields, IT, social cohesion, tension and conflict. Its members were the same as Omega Alpha, with the addition of Delta (Saul Cohen) and Epsilon (Aaron Fenninger).

Omega 2 covered the European
